The New York Democratic Convention
and Northern Democratic Opinion.
Oar New York exohanges which
reached as yesterday publish the pro
coo din gs of the body above named. Tho
action of the Convention is chiefly im?
portant, as it reflects the animus of the
Demooracy of the Empire State towards
the liberal Republican, movement, and
the' probable endorsement of Greeley
and Brown by the Baltimore Conven?
tion. We publish below the address of
the President, Mr. Kinsella, and the re?
solutions adopted, both of whioh indi?
cate plainly enough that there was a
marked preference for the support of
the Cincinnati nominees. Mr. Einsella,?
who is a member of Congress from
Brooklyn, is un avowed and earnest ad?
vocate of the coalition of Democrats
with the liberal Republicana, and his
election alone to the Presidency of tho
Convention is proof positive that his
views accorded with the ruling senti?
ment of the Oonvention.
The Demooracy of Tennessee has al?
ready spoken in unmistakable tones fer
the support of Greeley and Brown. Now
follows New York, with a harmonizing
note; and from the expression of opi?
nions by prominent and influential De?
m?crata in varions parts of the Union,
a number of whioh we find published in
even the New York World, it is very
palpable that the almost unanimous
judgment of the Demooracy at the pre?
sent time is opposed to endangering tho
work of reconciliation and reform by
placing Demooratio candidates in the
field. In this oonneotion, we find ex
Gov. English, of Connecticut, reported
by a correspondent of the World as
being undeoided about the course that
the Demooracy should pursue. But he
conoludes by remarking, that "tho prin?
cipal thing on whioh they (the Demo
?racy of Gonneotiout) are agreed, is the
need of beating Grant. The oonolusion
from this is evident. If they are agreed
upon the "need of beating Grant" as a
paramount object, they must, cf course,
support Greeley and Brown as the most
certain, if not the only possible mode,
of accomplishing it. . Hon. Gideon
Wells speaks in more decided language.
He says:
"As to Grant's withdrawal, there is no
likelihood of that. He is not that sort
of a man. His one strong point is his
obstinacy. Putting three tickets in the
field would insure Grant's election. His
defeat is the direct wish of the Demo?
crats. The possibility of that would
reconcile them to almost aoy move or
measure. Greeley's temperance advo?
cacy, and some other points about him,
make him agreeable to the Irish Dem??
crata. But they are clannish, and would
toe the party line if an independent can?
didate was pot up. The ex-Seoretary
dwelt at some length upon the charac?
teristics of Greeley and Grant. The lat?
ter, he said, did not know half as much
about acting as head of a government as
do BB Queen Victoria. Mr. Welles spoke
with much energy of the danger of the
centralization of power in this country
as the one most tu be feared."
Tho New York World, and such ultra
Democrats as favor the nomination of a
party ticket at Baltimore, have mani?
festly bot a slim following at present.
Ambition, greed for office and strong
party pr?judices may have their effect,
however, and at lost force Democratic
candidates in the field. This would end
in the angry, disruption of the party;
and, while strengthening Gen. Grant's
chances greatly, would not offer the
slimmest hope of a Democratic success.
If this ia what the World and its follow?
ers desire they are right to continue
their bitter opposition to Greeley.
The following is the speech of Mr.
Thomas Kinsella upon taking the ohair
as President of the New York State
Demooratio Convention, whioh met at
Boohester on the 15th instant:
FBULow-CrnsENs: I am deeply sensi?
ble of the honor conferred in selecting
me to preside over the preliminary de?
liberations of this great oonvention of
the representatives of the Democratic
party of the Stete of New York. We
meet to take issue on questions of mo?
mentous concern to the great political
organization, the history of whoie
aonievemente make np so large a part o i
the history of oar country. We meet ot
a time pregnant with Hope and promise
of the future. I concede cheerfully that
I have not been selected for this honor
because of any personal olairaa of mine.
I am here because I ?was among the
earliest and the most earnest advo catee
of a union of the liberal men of the
country, a anion designed to restore
honesty in the administration of the Go?
vernment, a union against military ringe
and military sway, a union in defenoe ol
the safeguards of individual liberty, s
union for the restoration of self-govern?
ment, a anion against centralization, e
anion to restore to millions of native
born men rights their fathers won
rights inalienable from American citizen?
ship. Of suoha union Thomas Jeffer
.on might consistently be the leader
To-day the patriotic and liberal-mindec
men of the oountry, heretofore opposed
to us, look with hope that still remaiui
to the action of our great conservative
party. Th?se meo have been overborne
and trampled down io their own political
organization. They invoke oar assist
anco, and the assistance of tho 'Demo?
cracy will never be invoked in vain .by
those who are struggling for good go?
vern m ont, for law, for order, and for tho
extension of tho guarantees of the Con?
stitution over our whole country. I am
here to conoede that the party opposed
to us have taken a great part in the his?
tory of our times. I know the achieve?
ments of which they are proud, but I
know that if, in order to secure what
they havo accomplished, venality must
rule at Washington, then one section of
our country must be given over to plun?
der and desolation, and military force
must be relied on Tor the support of the
Government, which rested so long in
calm seourity on the consent of the go?
verned. What patriotic citizen, who has
acted hitherto with tho Republican
party, oan look book on the past with
any satisfaction? I for one, therefore,
welcome, with proud sud grateful heart,
every man who has been opposed to us
hitherto, and who is now willing to stand
shoulder to shoulder with us for the
principles I, as a Democrat, have steadily
upheld, and which no man now asks me
to surrender; the principles the fathers
supported for the American theory of
government, to whose defence once more
all good citizens are prepared, unitedly,
to rally. We have upheld, in every way
left open to ns, the Bupremaoyof the
civil law, individual liberty under the
pao faction of the habeas corpus, the
rights of the Southern States and the
Southern people to full and complete
equality in the Union. We are contend?
ing for all this, to-dny, and, I believe,
are willing to co-operate with all men
who are willing to aot with us. Unfold,
then, the banner with these principios
emblazoned upon it, and, whoever may
bear it, we will follow and be satisfied
with the victory which will place it high
in the ascendant, where, surrounded by
its old friends and its new allies, it will
wave in unchallenged supremacy for a
generation to come. To-day, and here,
the government of our country may be
rescued from the dangers which sur?
round it. Liot us resolve to do it, and
the cheers which will hail our action
will not como from the parasites and
paid retainers of a mean and venal ad?
ministration, but from the exultant
hearts of freemen, forgetting naught of
all the past, but all the past' forgiven.
The following is the platform adopted
unanimously by the convention :
"The Democratio pal ty of the State of
New York, assembled in regular conven?
tion to select delegates to a National
Convention, to be held at Baltimore to
nominate candidates for President and
Yioe-President, declaro and resolve,
that we recognize the changes in tho na?
ture and Constitution- of tho Govern?
ment whioh have taken place, and with?
out re-opening the questions of the past,
are ready now to co-operate with those,
whatever their previous party affiliations,
who favor united and looalized govern?
ments, who seek to restrain the exercise
by Congress of absolnte and general
powers; to prevent its entering on gene?
ral private legislation; to restrain the
growth of vast oprporations and to work
a permanent civil service reform; and be
it further
"Resolved, That the recent declaration
of political principles by the Convention
of Cincinnati is evidence of tho progress
of public opinion toward sound and
wholesome views of government; that
we believe all patriotic citizens may
unite upon that platform for the pur?
pose of restoring the honest administra?
tion of national affairs and enforcing the
obligations of the Constitution; and our
delegates to Baltimore are instructed to
take tho course best calculated to secure
the triumph of these principles, and the
seleotion of any candidates representing
them who shall meet the approval o? the
Democracy in national convention as?
sembled."
While Nilsson returns to Europe with

in a perpetual shower of diamonds and
francs. Lucca is already rich, and the
divinities of the hoar aro everywhere so
prosperous, it is not without a pang of
melancholy sympathy that one reads of
Mario forced to return to the stage whioh
he so recently bade farewell, and
Taglioni compelled to give danoing

misfortune brings both these noted

UNDABTHLY VISITOR.-Rawley, in East?

haunted bouses. In one of them the
noise of carpenters at work is #>fton

the rustling of dresses on the stairs, deep
sighing, and sometimes faint calls for
help, followed by gurgling sounds, while
men with a white face and bare feet, and
olothed only in a long white night-gown,
stalk abont nearly regardless of deoenoy.

The LanroD8vilIe-Sera?(7, of the 17th,
publishes the following communication,
signed "J. A. L:" j :.
MR. EDITOK: Thinking it might be
gratifying to pur persecutors, and edify?
ing to our friends, to put on record some
connected account of oar recent "cap?
tivity," I take my pen to sketch only
the most prominent points. For fear of
implicating any one else, by the senti?
ments I may here express, I will risk the
charge of egotism, sud give my personal
experience and individual opinion.
On that memorable Sabbath morning,
March 31st, when quietly preparing for
my Bible class, in my own parlor, I was
arrested by a Deputy Marshal, under a
Warrant for "ConBpiraoy and Murder,"
and soun after marched to the parlor of
Mr. Joseph Crews, where I was confined
for the balance of the day. Aa the ma?
jority of Mr. Riley's male members, in?
cluding two of his session, were there,
we had the afternoon servioe in this same
parlor. At sun-set we were marched to
the jail, and plunged into the dungeons.
Here we were kept until about mid day
on Monday, when we were graciously
allowed the use of the passage and the
"Debtor's Room."
On Wednesday morning we wero hur?
ried off, in road wagons, some oighteen
in all, to Union jail, escorted by n com?
pany of cavalry. AB we traveled most
of the time in a cold driving rain, our
clothes, shawlB and blankets were pretty
well saturated with moisture when we
reached that jail, sometime after dark.
No dry blankets could there be furnished
us, as the jailor told us all his supply
had been burnt, in efforts to restrain the
reoent fire. This rather threw a wet
blanket over our proepeots for a night's
rest, but we got through that night, too.
The next day we were hurried to the
cars, and reached Columbia about sun?
set. Here we were marched in proces?
sion from tho depot to the jail, burden?
ed with our baggage, and flanked by
crowds of negroes of all ages and sexes,
who seemed to enjoy the pageant huge?
ly. Here again we were introduced to
the convict's cells, and confined with
more or lesa strictures for two weeks,
before we were summoned before the
United States Commissioner, for the first
time, to learn what it all meant. I pasB
over the fixing a day for the examination
beforo the commissioner, about a week
afterwards, the ridiculous farce of the
examination itself, and tho awful sen?
tence of the oourt-"Remanded to jail
for trial at this term of the Circuit
Court." "On to Charleston" was then
the next move. As the1 curiosity of the
ruling class in Columbia had been well
nigh satiated with Ku Klux pageants,
the gentlemen from Clinton were hand?
cuffed "two and.two, Newgate fashion,"
to give some new zest to this show, and
in that fix were marohed to the depot in
Columbia, and from the depot in Char?
leston to tho House of Correction-some?
thing over a mile.
About a week afterwards, the writer
was also sent to Charleston with the
Laurens prisoners. The hand-cuff show
was attempted on him, too, but thanks
to the size of friend Mac's wrist, it was
a failure. The law of the impenetrabili?
ty of matter would have had a hard
squeeze, if our 500 pounds had boen
forced into one car Boat all that night.
We were marched first to tho jail io
Charleston, and afterwards removed to
the House of Correction, thus making a
circuit of five jails in less than five weeks.
ThiB was on Wednesday, the 1st of May,
and on Friday, the 3d, it was announced
that Judge Bond had signed an order
for the release of all prisoners, giving
bail from $5,000 to 810,000. Saturday
night I was again in my parlor, within a
few hours of five weeks from tho time I
left it so abruptly.
This is neither the time or place to
speak of the unbounded hospitality, the
hearts of sympathy and tho unwearied
attention and social intercourse of very
many of the purest and best of both
sexes, both in Columbia and Charleston.
While favored with their constant socie?
ty and smiles, with what ineffable con?
tempt could we look down upon the pig?
my rabble, who were trying to persecute
us. But my main object in taking np
this paper is to bear my feeble testimony
to the goodness and loving-kindnoBS of a
oovenant God, always faithful to nil his
promises. I may be charged with cant
or braggadocio, according to.the taste of
the reader, but I feel it my high privi?
lege to publish here, and to the world,
that at no timo during these weeks of
untried realities, was my cf?!m peace of
mind interrupted for one moment. My
body was in the power of my persecut?
ors, but the me at whioh they seemed to
aim, was as infinitely boyond their reach
and as safe as the highest archangel in
Heaven; fori felt that I was proteoted
by the same power and comforted by the
same love.
Mr. Editor, with that conscience void
of offenoe, and that self-respeot unabated
in one jot or tittle, I would not havo ex?
changed one hour of the peace I then
enjoyed for a whole life-time of oringing
and fawning with the wealth of Crcosos
SUperadded. It is only within the last
lew days, sinoe my return, that my heart
bas sickened within me, on reading and
hearing oertain sentiments uttered. It
may not become one under bond of
$5,000 to answer a obarge of "Murder
and Conspiracy," to give any advice to
his fellow-oitizena. I will therefore,
only quote a few lines from a letter just
received, whioh I consider very muoh
appropriate to our present oondition : "I
am sometimes very much disgusted with
the manner in whioh some of our people
talk and act. Tho love of money is cor?
rupting many of them, and the dread of
the 'power that be,' is making cowards
of others. Tho constaut cry is concili?
ate-oonoiliate-until I fear our manhood
will be gone. Even a subjugated people
have rights whioh Christianity does not
permit them tosurrondor. Paul, unjust?
ly imprisoned, boldy asserted his rights
as a Roman oitizen. John the Baptist,
in no measured terms, denounced the
r.. ' '.' ? ..^ ? . ?.
hypocrisy of the Pharisees; and onr
Saviour Himself, rising to the fall digni?
ty of His manhood, scourged the scoun?
drels who had converted H?B temple into
a den of thieves* and did not hesitate to
send a bold messago to tho crafty 'fox.'
I don't believe in conciliating the devil
or any of his imps. 'Get thee behind
me, Satan,' was the reply of my Master,
whenever tempted to surrender any of
His rights as God or man."
DEMOCRATIC BAIL REFUSED TO CO?
LORED PRISONERS.-There ia a rumor in
this community, which comes from good
authority, wo learn, thut tho colored
prisoners sent hero by tho United States
Conrt to be bailed nut, have been re?
fused that privilege if their bonds are
signed by Democrats. At the time of
their arrest, it was strongly suspected
tbat their political opinions bad more to
do with their persecution than any proof
or suspicion that they had uny thing to
do with the Ku Klux. It is well known
that there are not moro than five or six
Badioals in this County who own suffi?
cient property, above the homestead, to
make their bond good, and they would
not bo likely to assist a Democratic
colored man; consequently these poor
fellows aro doomed to lie in j ?il until
they either tell what they do not know,
or, what is mire probable, until they
promise allegiance to the Radical party.
We are further informed that the
United States District Attorney, or his
assistant, stated that at least one of the
colored prisoners was only arrested as a
witness, nud is not accused of committing
any crime. We ask the District Attor?
ney why the pluin order of the court is
disregarded in the oases of those colored
men, and why they are not allowed the
same privilege of bail that have been ac?
corded to white prisoners?
We are also informed that ono of the
prisoners was told by an official that he
"was doing very well in prison, for when
ho was out he was a slave to the Demo?
crats." This is tho freedom to which
the colored people have been elevated
to voto the Radical ticket or go to jail.
Close and solitary confinement, fre?
quent threatening interviews, representa?
tions (true or false) as to the proof
against the prisoners thus interviewed,
and every other style of intimidation is
resorted to to extort from the weaker
minded some statement or suspicion of
the complicity of certain individuals in
some act of violence against colored
persons and the Enforcement Act; and
they call nil snob statements, made under
such circumstances, Buffioient proof to
issue warrants and send ont a marshal
and a squad of soldiers, at the dead hoar
of night, to arrest any number of our
citizens and keep them in jail for
mouths.
This Btate of affairs will continue so
long as tho officers employed find there
is "money in it." The more arrests
they make, tho more money they get;
and it seems to us that they pnrsno onr
people with the same satisfaction and
for the same purpose that the hunters of
the North-east formerly Lu u ted wolves
merely to get the bounty offered for their
scalpa.
They continue to cry "snake! snake!"
niter they khow that tho fangs of the
reptile have been extracted and there is
no moro danger from him; but tho cry
is necessary in order to drive off those
who may be in the way of many of
these officials who "?ec the hand-writing
on the wal!," and know their present oc?
cupations cannot last mach longer, and
are announcing themselves as candidates
for profitable offices in tho State Govern?
ment. For this they aro catering for the
colored votes, and discovering that the
way to the colored people's hearts is
through tho persecution of white citi?
zens of tho South, they use their official
positions as tho safest, most profitable
aud shortest guide to that desirable
haven.- Union Times.
