Gentlemen of the Convention: It is mf privilege to day to welcome you here in this hall, constructed with so much artistic taste and tendered to you by the time hon ored society of Tatnmany. (Loud cheers.) I welcome you to this magnificent temple, erected to the Goddess of Liberty by her stannchest defenders and most fervent worshippers. (Applause.) I welcome you to this good City of New York, the bul wark of Democracy ( great applause ), which has rolled back the surging waves of Radicalism through all the storms of the last eight years, and I welcome you, gen tlemen, to rmr Empif£ State, which last fall redeemed herself from Republican mis rule by a majority of nearly 50,01)0 votes, and which claims the right to lead the vanguard of victory in the great battle to be tonoht next November for the preserva tion of our institutions, our laws and liber tics. It is a most auspicous omen, that we meet under such circumstanc s, and are surrounded by such associations, and I share your own confident hope of the over whelming success of the ticket and the platform which will be the result of your deliberations. For it is to the American people that our appeal lies. Their final judgment will be just. The American peo ple ill no longer remain deaf to the teach ings of the past. They will remember that it was under successive Democratic admin is trations, based upon our natural principles, the principles of constitutional liberty, that our country rose to a prosperity and great ness unsurpassed in the annals of history; they will remember the days when North itnd Kouth marched shoulder to shoulder together in the conquest of Mexico, which gave us our golden Empire on the Pacific; our California and our < fregon, now the strongholds of a triumphant Democracy; they wiil remember the Hays when peace ;ftid plenty reigned over the whole Union, when we had no national debt to eru-b the energies of the people, when the Federal tax-gatheier was unknown throughout the vast extent of the land, and when the cred it of the United Slates stood as high in the money marts of the world as that of any other Government; and they will remem ber in sorrow, that with the defeat of democratic party in 1860 came that f-arfu civil war which has brought mourning and desolation into every household; has co-t the loss of a million of American citizens, and has left tis with a national debt the burden of which drains the resources, crip ples the industry, and impoverishes the la bor of tiie country. They will remember that, after the fratricidal strife was over, w hen the bravery of our army and navy add the sacrifice of the people had retorod the Uoion and vindicated the supremacy j of the law ; when the victor and the van quished were equally ready to bury the past aud to hold e'"t the hand of brother hood and good will across the graves of their fallen comrades, it nv." 5 again the de feat of the Democratic candida.''-* 1864 which prevented this consummation ao de vouily wished for by all. Instead of re storing the Southern States to their con stitutional rights, instead of trying to wipe out the miseries of the past by a magnani mous policy, dictated alike by humanity a nil sound statesmanship, and so ardently prayed for by the generous heart of the American people,the Radicals in Congress, elected in an evil hour,have placed the iron heel of the conqueror upon the South.— Austria did not dare to fasten upon van quished Hungary, nor Russia lo impose upon conquered l'oland tiie ruthless tyr rany now inflicted by Congress upon the Southern Slates. Military satraps are in vested with dictatorial power, over riding the di cisions of the Courts, and assuming the functions of the civil authorities ; the white populations are disfranchised or forced (o submit to test oaths alike revolt ing to justice and civilization; and a de based and ignorant race, jujt emerged from servitude, is raised into power to control the destinies of that fair portion of our com mon country. These men, elected to be legidators and legislators only, trampling the Constitution under their feet, have usurped tho functions of the Executive and the Judiciary, and it is impossible to doubt after the events of the past few months, and the circumstances of the im peachment trial, that they will not shrink from an attempt hereafter to subvert the Senate o? the United States, which alone stood between them and their victim, and which had virtue enough left not to allow the American name to be utterly disgraced, and justice to be dragged in the dust. In order to carry out this nefarious pro gramme our army and navy are kept in times of profound peace on a scale which has involved a yearly expenditure of fiom one to two hundred millions; prevents the reduction of our national debt, and impos es upon our people a system of the most exorbitant and unequal tazation, with avi cious, irredeemable and and depreciated currency. And now this same party, which has brought all these evils upon the country, comes again before the American people, asking for their suffrages, and whom has it chosen for its candidate? The General Commanding the Armies of the United States. Can there be any doubt left as to the designs of the Radicals, if they should be able to keep their bold on the reins of Government ? They intend Congressional usurpation of all the bran- " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " rites and functions of the Government, to he enforced by the bayonets of a military ! despotism ! It is impossible that a free *nd intelli gent people can longer submit to such a state of things. They will not calmly stand ' by to see their liberties subverted, the pros- j perity and greatness of their country un dermined, and the institutions bequeathed to them. They must see that the conserv ative and national principles of a liberal and progressive Democracy are only safe- j guards of the Republic. Gentlemen of the Convention: Your country looks to you to stay this tide of DISORGANIZATION, V;O- ; LKNCE, AND DESPOTISM. It will not look in vain, and when State after State shall | respond by rallying around the broad ban- j ner of Democracy, on which, in the future i as in the past, will be inscribed out undy- I ing motto: "THE UNION, TIIE CONSTITUTION, AND THE LAWS !" The nomination was receiver! with loud cheers. Mr. Palmer thanked the Conven tion in a brief speech. The Rev. Dr. Morgan, Rector of St. Thomas church, offered an impressive prayer—the vast audience rising and standing in respectful silence. The roll of Slates was then called, and each found to he fully represented. Committees of one from each State were appointed, on permanent organization, on credentials and on resolutions. The Declaration of Independence was reHd by E. O. Perin, of N. Y., the Secre tary, after which the Convention ad journed, to meet on Monday, the 6th at 10 o'clock.. SECOND DAY. The Convention was called to order by the temporary President. The Rev. Mr. Quinn was called and opened the session wiili prayer. Ilie-ter Clymer, chairman of the com mittee on permanent organization, reported as permanent officers of the convention : For President, Horatio Seymour of New York. For Vice President, Ex-Gov. Ritiben Chapman of Alabama, with a list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries taken from each State. E. O. l'errin of N. Y., was chosen read ing Secretary. Horatio Seymour being introduced, ad dressed the Convention as follows: GENTLEMEN CF THE CONVENTION: I thank you tor the honor you have done me in making me your presiding offjeer.— This Convention is made up of a large number of delegates from all parts of our broad land. To a great degree we are strangers to each other, and view the sub jects which agitate otir country from dif ferent standpoints. We cannot, at once, learn each others modes of thought, or gra

f swarms of, | officials, so swells the costs of living that, | moil must toil on to meet the exactions? | I The time was when we could not only in-i vite the European to share with us the j material bles-iugs of our great country ; ( but that we could tell those who fled from oppression that we livsd under a government of laws administered by the judiciary, which kept the bayonet and the sword in due subordination. We could point, to a written constitution which not only marked out the powers of government, hut with anxious care secured to the hum blest man the lights of property, of person, and of conscience. Is immigration encour aged by trampling that Constitution in the dust; treating it with contempt;shackling the Judiciary; insulting the Executive, and giv ing all the world to understand that the great guaranties of political and social rights are destroyed ? But the crowning! indictment against the folies and crimes of those in power is in these words: " That we recognize the great principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence, as the true foundation of democratic government, and we hail with gladness, every effort towards making these principles a living reality on every inch of America.) soil." If within the limits of ten States of this Union an American citizen, j stung by the sense of his wrongs, should publicly untruthfully denounce the men in power because in the very language of this Declaration of Independence, '' They hare j erected a multitude of new offices and sent forth swarms of officers to harass our peo | pie and eat out their sustance," he wou.d i in all human probability be dragged to a pris on. Or if, in the indignant language of our fathers, he should exclaim, " They hare ef fected to render the military independent of and superior to the cicil power, thei] have abolished the free system of English laws, and established herein an arbitrary govern menl, " for the offence of asserting tfiese principles, ho would bo tried and punished by a military tribunal, Having declared j that the principles of the Declaration of In ' dependence should be made a " living reali- j ly on every inch of American soil, " they i put in nomination a military chieftain who | stands at the head of that system of des- • potisms that crushes beneath its feet the greatest principles of the Declaration of In-j dependence. To-day in some States, it is | held by military orders to be a crime to ] j speak out the indignation and contempt j which burn within the bosoms of patriotic ! | men. If to-morrw a military order should j be put forth in that Slate where the ashes of I Washington are entombed, that it should be an offence to declare that the military should ever be subordinate to the civil authority— to speak out the sentiment that it was a dis grace to our country to let the hordes of of ■ ficials eat up the substance of tho people—he who uttered these words could be dragged to i prison from the very grave where lie the re mains of the author of the Declaration of| Indepedence—from this outrage there could be no Sppeal to the courts ; and the Republi can candidate for the Presidency has accept ed the position which makes the rights and liberties of a large share of our people depen dent upon his will. In'view of these things, can there be no man in this Convention who can let a personal ambition, a passion a pre judice, turn him aside one hair's breadth in his efforts to wipe out the wrongs and out rages which disgrace our country ? Can there be no man here whose heart is so dead to all that is great and noble patriotism that he will not gladly sacrifice all other things for the sake of his country, its liberties and its greatness? Can we suffer any prejudices growing out of past differences of opinion, to hinder us from uniting with all who will act with us to save our country ? IFe meet to-day to see what measures can be taken to arrest the dangers which threaten our coun - try, and to retrieve it from the evils and bur dens resulting from Lad government and un wise counsels. I thauk G>d that the strife of arms has ceased, and that once more in great Conventions of our party we can call through the whole roll of Slates and find men to answer for each. Time and events in their great cycles have brought us to this spot to renew and invigorate that constitu tional Government which nearly eighty years ago was inaugurated in this city It was here that George Hash ing I on, the first Pres ident, swore to " preserve, protect, and de fend " the Cinstitution o! these United S'at es. And here, this day, we as solemnly pledge ourselves to uphold the rights and : liberties of the American people. Then, 'a* n<>w. a gieat war which had desolated our land had ceased. Then, as now there was in ! every patriotic breast, a longing for the ; blessings of good government, for the pro i tection of laws, and for sentiments of fra'er nal regard and affection among the inhabi | tants of a!! the Stales of the Union. W hen ! cur Government in 1780, was inaugurated in I B | this city, there were glad processions of men and those manifestations of great j.y which a people sh >w when they feel that an event | has happened which is to give lastirg bless i ing to the land. To day in this samo spirit i this vat assemblage meets, and the streets ! of this city are thronged with men Who have | come fr .m the utmost borders of our conti , nent. They are filled with the hope that we are about, by our actions and our policv, to | bring back the blessings of a good govern ment. It is among the happiest omens which ; inspirit u* now thai those wt>o f. ught brave ly in our late civil war are foremost in their ; demands that there shall be peace in our land. The passions of hate and malice may linger in meaner breasts, hut we find our selves upheld in our generous purpoes by those who showed true courage and man hood on the field of battle. In the spirit, then, of George Washington and of the pa triots of the revolution let us take the steps to reinaugurate our Government, to start it at once again on its course to greatness and prosperity. May Almighty God give us the wisdom to carry out our purposes, to give to every of our Union, the blessings of peace, good order, and fraternal aff ction. Mr. Seymour closed amid long continued and tremendous cheering. THIRD DAY. After prayer bv the Rev. Mr. Plummer, a series of resolutions by Alexaudt r H. Ste ohens, was presented and read. They were referred to the Committee on resolutions.— After some discussions as to order of busi ness, Mr. Murphy, of X. Y., Chairman of Com mittee reported the following resolutions, which after reading,were unanimously adopt ed as the PLATFORM OF THE PARTY. The Democratic Tarty in Aitional Convention assembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence i patriotism, and discriminating justice of the people, j standing upon the Constitution ns tho foundation ! and limitation of the powers of the Government, . and tho guarantee of the liberties of tho citizen; and recognizing the questions of slavery and seces sion as having been settled for all time to crime— (tremendous cheering)—by the war or voluntary action of tho Southern States in Constitutional Con vention assembled, and never to he renenod or re- j agitated, do with the return of peace drmind : First —lmmediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union under the Constitution, and of civil government to the American people. Second— Amnesty for nil psst political offences and the regulation of the elective franchise in the States bv their citizens. Third —Payment of the public debt of the I nited States as rapidly as practicable ; all moneys drawn from tho pooplo by taxation, except as much as is requisite for the necessities of the government, eco nomically administered, being hcDc.-llv applied to such payment, and where the obligations of the Governmenn do not expressly stale upon their face or tho law under which they were issued does not provide that they shall be paid in coin, they ought, in right and in jusAice, to be paid in the lawlu; maney of tho United States. Fourth— Equal taxation of every spe.-ies of prop erty according to its real value, including Govern ment bonds snd other public securities. Fifth—O ne currency for the Government and tbe people, tho laborer and the officeholder, Ihe pension er and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder, Sizlh —Econooij in the administration of the Government • the reduction of the standing army anl navy ; the abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau ( great cheering ) and all political instrumentali ties designed to secure negro supremacy , simplifica tion of the system, and discontinuing e of inquisito rial modes of assessing and collecting Internal Rev enue, so that the burden taxation may be equal ized and lessened ; tbe credit of tbe Government and the currency made good ; th* repeal 01. all en actments for enrolling Ihe State militia in tosational TEAMS, $2.00 Per.

In demanding these measures and reforms we ar raign the Radical party for its disregard of right 1 and the unparalleled oppression and tyranny which have marked its career. Arter the most solemn an J unanimous pledge of both Houses of Congress to prosecute the war exclu sively f..r the maintenance of toe Government and the preservation of the Union under the Constitu tion. it has repeatedly violated that most sacred plcdft under which alone was rallied that noble volunteer army wbioh carried our flag to vic tory: Instead of restoring the Union it has, so far as in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States, in time of profound peace, to mrlilury des p tistn an] negro supremacy. It has nullified there the right of trial by jury ; it has aboli-fcel the habeas corpus: that most sacred writ of liberty ; It has overthrown the freedom of speech and the press; it has substituted arbitrary seizures, and arrests, and military trials, arid secret star chamber inqui sitions for the constitutional tribunals : it has dis regarded in time of pence the right of the people to be free from searches and seizures ; it has entered (he post and telegraph offi-es, ani even the private rooms of individuals, and seized their private pa pers and lett.TS without any specific charge or n>- tiee of affidavit, as required by the organic law ; it has cohverted the American Capitol ir.to a bastile t it has established a systen of spies and official es pi nage to which no constitutional monarchy of Europe would now dare to resort ; (cheers!—it has abolished the right of appeal on important constitu- tional questions to the supreme judiciil tribunal and threaUns to curtail or destroy its original jurisdic tion which is irrevocably vested by the Constitution, while the learned Chief Justice—(loud cheering)— has been subjected to the most atrocious calumnies, merely because he would not prostitute his high of fice to the support of the false and partisan charges pieferred against the President Its corruption atrd extravagance have exceeded anything known in history, ant by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly double 1 the burden of the debt created by the war. It has stripipel the President of his con stitutional power of appointment, even of his own Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the Governmeltt are rocking ou their base, and should it succeed in November next and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subjected and con quered people atuid the ruins of liberty and the scutteied fragments of the Constitution. And we do de-iare and resolve that ever since the people of the I nited States threw off all subjection to the British Crown the privilege and trust of suf frage have belonged to several States, and have been grantod, regulated, and eootolled exclusively by the political power of each State respectively, and that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or inter fere with its rxercise, is a flragrant usursupatlon of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution, and if sanctioned by the people will subvert our form of Government, nn l can only end in a sing'e cen tralized and consolidated government in which the separate existence of the Slates will be entirely ab sorbed, and an unqualified despotism be established In place of a Federal Union of coeq .al Statos And that we regard tho Reconstruction act (so called) of Congress, as such, as ursupations and un constitutional, revolutionary and void' That our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant artd determined foe must ever he gratefully remembered and all the guarantees given in their favor must be faithfully carried into execution. That the public lands should be distributed as widely as possible among the people, and should be disphised of either under the pre-emp ion of home stead lands, or sold tn reason able quamties, and to none but actual occupants, at the minimum price es tablished by the Government When grants of the pubic lands may be allowed, necessary for the en couragement of important public improvements, the pro ceds of the sate of such lan is, and not the land* themselves should be applied That tho President of tho United States, Andrew Johnson (r.ppia >.e) —in exercising the pewer of hu high office in resisting the aggressions of Congress upon the constitutional rights of the States and the People, is entitled to the gratitude of the whole American people, and in behalf of the Democratic party we tender him our thanks for his patriotic ef forts in that regard. Ujsin thes Platform the Democratic party appeal fo every patriot, including all the conservative ele ment ai d all who desire to sup|*>rt tho Constitution and restore the Union, forgettiug all past differences of opinion, to uniti with us in the present graet strag gle for the litierties of the seop e—( 'heers)—and th.t to all such, to whatever party they may have here tofore belonged, we extend the tight hand of fellow ship, and hail h!1 such co-operattng with us as friend* and brethern {Continued on next page.)
