The State committee of tho New York Tam.
many democracy met yesterday and, formally
Withdrawing their presidential electoral ticket.
unanimously agreed to support the one nomi-
mated By the regular wing of their party. Their
action was not only wise but showed that they
ara sincere in their profession Of political prn'
clrlas. and hold those principles 10 higher cs-
teem than mere personal preferences and grew
arcs or s,fsh aspirations. Tho Tammany
democrats had moro serious cause Of complaint
against tho regular democratic organization
in their State than the readjusters havo
against the regular Virginia demo crsc7 !;
for. whereas tho Tammanyihs wore utterly
ignored and tlbooed by the other wing
Of their party, the rea6justers have been
besouebt by the Virginia democrats. for months
past, to bold their opinions on the State debt 10
allegiance until after the presidential election,
have had all sorts Of concessions made TO, and
all manner ct compromises offered them, for The
sole purpose Of restoring unity ard harmony in
the party until that election shall have been
held. after which oobody will object to such di
Visions as they can accomplish in State matters
Most of tho true ADD conscientious men among
thom have accepted these concessions and com
promises. tut there arc few men who, under
thename of Mahonites. still persist 10 the effort to
divide the State democracy so as to throw Vrs
Rnia's electoral vote to Garfield. We hope the
example set these men by tho Tammapyites will
bo followed, so that Virginia democracy may
not be shame and reproaoh among the party
throughout all the other States of the Union,
