Year: 1862

we are happy to see from numerous
signs, that no mere party machines, "pure
and simple is to be run by the Demo.
craey of New York, but that, in catholic
spirit, all agreeing with it in men now,
with no endorsement Of the past, are to
be invited into some common State Con.

From the Albany Argus, in reply to the Tribune.]


Does the Tribune suppose that, in q
crisis like this, when the Republicans are
trying to escape condemnation by coali'
tions Of all kinds, the Democrats will not
invite to their standard all the friends OF
constitutional governmen There never
was a time when democrats were more
free to act in spirit Of enlarged liberali-
ty, than now. What is in question is not
the mode of administering public affairs,
bu. the existence Of the Constitution, and
the permanence Of the Federal Form of
government.


The class Of politicians who wish to de-
clare that civil war has produced anarchy,
in order to enduce from that chaos sys-
tenn Of imperialism, absorbing and cor.
rupt central power, are revolutionists as
dangerous as those who are in armed re.
bellion against the Union.


The violence Of the Anarchists alarms
others than Democrats, and the feeling is
spreading that to the next Congress, New
York should send dele CATION which shall
resist the further progress of this DANCE
rous class of demagogues. We will not
insist on measuring candidates for this
Office by any old party standard of Demo
cracy. We are willing to accept the sim
pie declaration which Henry Clay sug-
ges,ed-"The Union, the Constitution and
the enforcement of the Laws at the plat,
form on which candidates are to be pre-
sented. We do not lose sight OF the JET.

We do not pretend to indicate what
may be the course Of Democrats next fall
beyond this general expression of our be-
lief, that they will make the preservation

believe, too, they will succeed. No party
ever went into a contest with the spirit
and hope that now animate Dem ocrats,

sacrifice everything to the gres, end which

An excellent sririt-and in like tone
now is the Journal Of Commerce


What we want now is grand con.
seryatye movement, and the nation will
have it. We belong to no party and We
care nothing what party name they adept
who in the immediate future redeem the
character of the United States, restore
wisdom and calm councils to the halls oi
Congress. and give to the Admin stratlon
a strong, unvavering support of the Uuion
and the Constitution


"Our neighbors Of the Express are de
sirous to have US unite in some sort OF q
Union party, which shall be clearly con-
servative. We belong to no party, We
shall never be attached to any pcltica
machine. We do not care whether the
Democratic, or the Republican, or Unior
party survives the turmoil, or rides into
power on the great wave Of popular feel
ing now beginning to roll forward. Blu
whatever party stands foremost and mos
unebuivocally by the Union and the Con
s,itution, declares itself most clearl,
against aboltionism and all other radical
ism, especially against the new doctrine
| of State Suicide, and in favor Of the Ole
Union and that benefcien. government
which has made America the creates
nation on earth, that party will probabI
have our support, whatever its old nam
or its new name and whatever its compo
nent parts. We have no doubt the En-
press will support that same party, as vii
all patriotic, conservative men in tn
nation, but that party, or any other part
which has principles, will not have, an
will be fortunate in not having the supper
Of half and half patriots like the N. lor
Times.


The right talk Decided men, empha
tic men, are now needed. There is n
half way house between Aboltionism an
the Union, the Constitution and the en-
forcement Of The laws. The dilly daily
to balance, to cross over, right hand an
left, half way up and all the way down
the policy OF such shutters and whhet
as the New York Times, is not fit for th
civil war. Give Us the tribune, aud it
