DANGEROUS SYMPTOMS.
We notice with mingled regret and aston
ishment, the following extract from the debates
of the New York Convention.
Mr.. Jry remarked that few davs aro.
when the committee were on this report. the
words admiral ofH nary were stricken ont.
as being useless title Of tile governor. He
now moved a consideration of that part Of
the report, and to amend it by inserting the
words commander IN chief Of he miiitarV and
nary. The time might drTire tche, s,,ch a Dro-
Uision might be necessary
Mr. Spencer, said the only reason he had for
moving to strike out was, that it appeared TO
him TO he an empty title, as the state had no
navy of which the governor was constituted
admiral.

King, Spencer, and the President took part.

Is, that, however intended, it hangs out a

diously enstins them among the forces to be
engaged in the electioneering campaign
which is about To open, not at Washington ex-
