The action of the Democratic County
Convention Ga report of which appears
in another column, completes the pre-

voters two tickets to be voted for on the

as the Democracy and no consistent
American can vote for Free Trade be II

BY this we do not say aught against
the candidates opposing the Republican
ticket; they are gentlemen well known
locally, but they collectively stand for

Moreover the Republican candidates are

the Reform Democracy under Cleveland
An instance of this sort occurred yes
terday in a neighboring village where
the postmaster ran a county convention
a few miles away while the Office was
closed, Since Cleveland's famous civil

this is the first instance of closing the
office to do so. Great is the Reform OF

New York, March 9, 1860.
To the Editor OF the Herald
learn from the secretary of the navy that the
ship Constellation. (which he proposes to send
with cOntTibutiUnspf food to Ireland under the au.
thority of both houses of congress, approved Feb.
%, 1850, is at the Brooklyn navy yard, but that
no tenders OF cargo have been made. You ara

sOnally known to you, who declines TO have his
name made public, offers topayfOr one-quarter Of
the cargo Of the Constellation II other parties
will make up the balance. The capacity OF the
ship is equnl to 200 barrels OF flour, but her ear
90 should be made up of flour, oatmeal and seed
potatoes, which last would arrive in time for
planting, and replace those which the sufferers
have been forced to use to sustain life. shall
desire the distribution OF the cargo to be made oy
Mr.. Benefits committee. As you are aware,
these articles Of food will be delivered free OF
cost save to the government. If you approve
the idea you can make the proposition without
for the present at leastl using my name. You
may asfumC 10 guarantee the performance OF my
offer Believe me, yours very truly, A FRIEND
On March 10 The Herald said editori-
ally:
We congratulate the friends OF suffering Ireland
that this first cargo has been so promptly made
up The Constellation announced her readiness
10 receive freight on Tuesday next and on Wed
Lesday her cargo will be on board. This is due
in great part to the distinguished citizen who
started the movement. There is no reason why
We should any longer conceal his name. As his
offer was conditional, and 1t was uncertain
whether the condition would be complied with
lie had q reluctance to see his name connected
with an offer which ho might NOT be called to full
fil. Bat now that the cargo is complete and the
offer binding we take the liberty TO state that The
generous donor who infused life into this move
meut Is Hon. Levi p, Morton. II Mr. Grace, who
makes an equal contribution, falls behind MI
Morton, II Is only because he did not lead thI
way but followed instead Of setting an inspiring
