support OF the AbIest and Best
Men OF the Party.

New York Tribune: Some time ago steps
were taken by James Mcconnell and Luke f
Cozzans, two Democratic lawyers of this city,
to establish a new Democratic organization
for the purpose of harmonizing the Demo
cratic factions in the State on issues other
than merely local ones. Whether the move
ment was started in the interest OF Mr.. Til
den for the Presidency, or of the opposing
faction cannot be stated at present, but it is
claimed to be exclusively the purpose of the
organization to cement the Democratic party.
Several meetings have been held, of which
one took place at the st. James hotel last
night. The meetings have been kept strictly
private, but it was learned that u constltu-
ton had been adopted and committee APP
pointed to nominate officers to be elected at
the next meeting at the st. James hotel, on
Monday night, April 18th. The name OF the
association is the Democratic Union of the
CITY of New York" Article two of the con-
stitutlon states that "the object of the union
shall be to accomplish the permanent and
effective union of Democrats; to advance IN
this city, State and nation the time honored
principles OF the Democratic party; to pro-
mote friendship and socha intercourse among
all its members, and thereby to establish the
supremacy of Democratic principles IN the
government of our country, and revive
| in the hearts of the American people
that devoted love for the Union and con-

who formed, maintained and transmitted the
same to us as a priceless legacy. And TO that
| end we propose to organize like the kindred
associations throughout the State, and hold
| public meetings, and circulate papers and
| documents for the advancement OF the prln-
ciples of the Democracy, and the success and
| triumph of the Democratic party; and TO re-
| frain from participation in local issues or
| nominations fox Office" Correspondence has
been carried on with Democrats IN other
cities in the State and unions" are being
