The Democracy of New York met at Ro
chester, in convention, on the loth and se
lectod delegates to tbe Baltimore convention.
Tbe following resolution indicates a willing
ness to support Greely and Brown :
Resolved, That we recognize the changes
ia tbe nature and Constitution of the Gov
ernment which li-ve taken place, and will,
out reopening the questions of the past, w
ar# ready to co operate with those, whatever
their previous party affiliations, who favor
limited and localized governments; who seek
to restrain tbe exercise by Congress of abso
lute and general powers, to prevent its en
I tering on general private legialatioa; to res
train tbe growth of vast corporations, and to

course best calculated to sesnre the triumph

We doubt not Mr. Harrison of the Times it
Planter will conform to ihe rules, with his
three excellent papers, and as Mr. Harp of
tbe Examiner, sent a represent nive with the
Excursion, he may be expected to come in wii h
bis publications.
The South Geor/ia Times, South East Geor
gian, Tbomaaville Enterprise, and a few other
legitimate journals not now remembered, will
hardly stand aloof. They are earnestly iu-
vited to become members, and now that they
are assured of the success and usefulness of
tbe Association, we hope to greet theta at,the
next meeting.
With this array before theni, Patent Out
aiders and Advertising Agents will at once
see the propriety of conforming to the rules
of the Association, and Georgia Journalism
will have been rescued from the low standard
rhicb it bad descended. and placed upon a
foo.ing more profitable to publishers and for
greater good to the public.
Mr. Voorhees, in his apeeoh, a telegraphic
syuopris of which we publish on our outside,
ridicules the generous act of Horaeo Greeley
in offering himself as bail for Jefferson Davit
and releasing Ihe latter from a Federal dun*
gron. He spoke of it as an unnecessary in
termeddling—as the “restless impatience” of
a mock philanthropy, &o. The. following
communication to the Macon Telegraph (which
its editors say comes from a source which is of three mil
a guaranty of its '‘unquestionable authenti-|
city”) discloses the real ciroumstanoes under
which Mr. Greeley took the step—oiroam
stances which make the act highly oreditabla
to him both as a man and a politician:
Editors Telegraph $ Messenger.—Mr. Voor-
lices iu his recent attack on Mr. Greeley,
styled bis signing of Mr. Davis’ bond “an im
pertinent interference.” Allow me to give
you the true history of that matter, as l recent
ly learned it in New York, from ‘o gentleman
who knew all about it. Mrs, Davit went to
New York to obosult Charles O’Connor; Iff.
Davis’ counsel, as to the best manner of Af
fecting his release from prison. Mr. O’Con
nor told her that in his opinion there was but
one wsy it could be done, and that was to get
the representative man of the Republican
party to. sign his bond. Mrs. Davis inquired
who that tnan was. Mr. O’Connor replied
that it was Horace Greeley. 8be then asked
him if he would not see Mr Greeley and get
hint to do it. He replied that he b*-d no influ
ence with Mr. Greeley, and that she was the
person to see him. 8he said she, would <go
and see him. She went to bis' office, sent in
her card, and was invited into bis private of
fice. She said to him: “Mr. Greeley, my
liushanJ is confined in a casemate at Fortress
Monroe. He has been there for many long,
weary months. He is a feeble old man. and
he is gradually pinking .under his rigorous
imprisonment. He will die if he remains
there much longer. I came here to oonsult
Mr O'Connor as to tbs means of getting him.
released. lie has toldme tint there WHS bfit
one way to do it. and that is to got the repre
sentative man of the Republiean party to slgu
bis bond, and says that you are that man.—
lie has advised me to applj’ to you. He says
that you have. A kind heart,- and that -you will'
do it, if you believe it to be right. ' My. ba*r 1
band is dying. Mr. Greeley; may I hope-
tliat you will favorbly consider my applica
tion ?”
Mr. Greeley arose, extended his hand to
Mrs. Davis, and said: “Madam, you may, for
I will rieo bis Wind.”
Mr. Greeley was then a prominent candi
date before the Legislature for the United
States Senate. Some of his friends heard that
be had agreed to signM**. Davis’ bond. They
went to him and protested against it. They
told him that they had made a count, and
that he would be elected by six majority, but
th »t if he signedabis bond, it would defeat
him. He replied, 4 1 know it will.” They
told him that be was one of the owners of the
Tribune, and if he signed this bond he would
lose thousands of subscribers He replied,
•*I know it.” They said, “Mr. Gretley, yon
have written a history of the war. one volume
you have out, and have sold large numbetw of
it. Your second volame is nearly out and you
have large orders for. that. If yon sign tbla
bond, these orders will be countermanded and
you will lose a large amount of money.” He
replied. “Gentlemen. I know it, but it it right,
and Pll do it." He did do it, and I am in
formed that he lost a seat in tbe United Status
Senate, and over thirty thousand dollars.
To my mind Ibis does not look lik« ‘•imper
tinent interference.” • ff**.
•If the cotton States unitedly nud earnest
ly wish to withdraw peacefully from the Union,
we think they should be allowed to do so.—
Any attempt to ompel them by force to re
main would be contrary to the principles en
unciated iu the immortal Declaration of lode
pendence. contrary to the fundamental ideas
on which human liberty is based.”

Reporter—Have you rend tho platform ?
Greely—I have read wbAt has* been tele
graphed.
Reporter—I have not seefl the dispatches.
Have they run a tariff plank into llie plat
form?
Greely (with an honost entile)—'They have
done just what 1 thought they should have
done, and just what I advised—referred the
whole tariff business Io tho people, to be
Bellied in Ihe Congressional districts.
Reporter—If Ihe people elect a majority of
Congressmen in faror of a repeal of the tariff
bill. »nd the Congress repeals that bill, what
would be the duly of the next President or
the United States?
Greely (promptly)—U would he his duty

A traveller whs once making a pedestrian
tour of the Alps, when suddenly, in a narrow
path, hr came face to face-with a large brown
bear. He drew a revolver anil was about, to
fire, when, to his amazement, the hear cried
out, “Don't fire.” It turned out that the pre
tended hear was a man employed by soim
guides, who sent him out dressed in a bear
skin when they hud a timid traveller to escort.
At a preoouoerled spot the bear would rush
upon them, and when pul to flight hy tho ex
ciHons of Ihe guides', Ihe traveller never fail
ed to reward their coursge and davmiuu by a
handsome present of which the bear receiv'd
a liberal share.
