Reformers again In the Field.
Very probably stimulated by the revival of III,
Irish repeal agitatons, with still more 6ercenes.
and excitement than ever the American Retubi-
cans, or at least considerable portion of them,
have again started into vigorous activity, and with
their patriotic shouts of r, form, again make the
wekin ring. The executive committee had d
meeting the other evening, and passed a series OF
resolutions, very vigorously expressed, and yet IN
wonderfully temperate tone aud spirit. The maIa
object of the committee was 10 organise State
Central Convention, TO assemble in Utica, on The
first tuesday in September next, and to adopt The
necessary measures for taking distinct and pow.
erlul stand IA the coming fall campaign This
movement has been followed no by some Of the.
ward committees, particularly the second aud we
may now calculate oo the separate organization Of
this new party, fresh element in the political
conflict OF the time.
PROFESSIONALLY, if this movement be carried
out in the right spirtif the genuine friends5of re
form make united efiort-if they select and
nominate for Congressman and members of the
State Assembly, men of the right samp-men who
unlike those elected by this party to fill municipal
Offices In this city, all, indeed, fulfil their pledg
es-then this reform party will as surely triumph
over both the old factions In the broader field Of
contest next fall, they did here IN this city of
New York in the election of the corporatIon.-
There never was a more auspiclous period than
the present for such an effort. The great mass of
the intelligent and rejecting portion of the people
have become thoroughly dissatisfied and disguised
with the conduct of the political hacks, the party
tools, the unprlncped Migrants who follow politics
for living, TO whom for years past has been com
mitted the rreponderatng influence in the Nation
al and State councils, and the results of whose fol-
y, ignorance, want of principle, and enmty to all
reform, have been written in characters which all
can read
There are before the people several great public
measures OF infinite Importance to the public well
fare, which is utterly in vain to expect from such
Congress as that which has just terminated its
Improbable session. Amongst these we may men,
ton Post Office reform--a measure, whose weight
and universal interest," Justly entite it to the fore
most place in public attention at this moment. We
all know how this measure treated by the late
Congress. We know how the Just and reasonable
demands of the people were treated with con-
tumely. We know how a REFORM against which
not one argument that could stand fora moment,
was enied. Now, let these reformers who profess
desire to obtain the blessings of good government,
free from the coruptng influence of partizanship-
and all the bad agencies hostile to the people and
TO the prosperity of the nation, which party EN-
poys-let them hoist this flag of Post Office Re.
form, and are quite certain that on this alone,
they rally such mighty host as will carry all
before it.
Then, again, with respect TO the State Legsla-
ture, there are several measures of universal and
acknowledged necessity and utility, on which
strong party could be very speedily raised. This is
police reform All parties have denied us this,
yea, even that very party who were elected to Of
hce in this city for the purpose of obtaining this
great boon There is also a loud cry for the re-
dress of the grievances inflicted on the community
by the gas monopoes. The extortions and ra-
paclty OF these companies have become intolerabe
Here there is, it will be at once seen, strong
rallying point for the reform party.
AS TO the no sc about the naturalization laws, |
that is quite inferior matter of consideration
We might show the curious character of that
logic which gravely endeavors to convince us tIat
the best way to make good citizens is TO
ALLEVIATE them as much as possible from the
institutions under which they live, but the
game, in this hot weather especially, is not worth
the trouble. But unless the new reform party, or
the party processing to be reformers, is entirely |
blind, 1t must at once perceive not only the duty
but the wisdom, so far as its own success is con-
cerned, of adopting the course we have suggested
Indeed thus far, the conduct of this party reminds
us good deal Of the poor stag in the fable, which
had been deprived of eye, and constantly KEEP,
the blind side to the river, whose banks it was
accustomed to brouse, never dreaming that danger
could approach from the water, but only from the
land, and which fell beneath the well directed ar
row of the hunter who glided down the stream
All their attention appears to be on the look out
for imaginary foes-the offspring of prejudice and
dark age, whilst they have eyes for real evils
which are close at hand Let them awake. Lei
them, like patriots, unite in grand effort Ia
PROSTATE factions and party spirit, and secure TO
their country great and much needed measures OF
reform.
REORGANIzATIoN OF THE TYLER PARTY-A
PRESIDENTS Observation-Disclosures IN EARNEST.
The city received considerable shock yesterday
by the announcement on the bulletins and other
wise, that President Tyler had arrived incog. Oh
on the previous evening, in company with Post
master Graham, the Hon. Mr.. Rantoul of Boston.
and others from Philadelphia 1t soon ascer-
tanned among the "knowing ones" that the Presi-
dents rapid movements to this city had very re-
markable destination-in fact, no lessthan his mar
riage with the celebrated Miss Gardiner, of Gard-
ner's Island who has been the regning belle at
Washington Saratoga, and all the fashionable
places, for several seasons.
full account of the interesting ceremony OF the
Presidents nuptials, will be found in another quar-
ter of this days paper.
This has really been most astounding move
ment the part of the President, and presents
view of the organization OF the Tyler party an
entirely new and promising foundation. 1t also
brings up tie subject of annexation in such shape
az to silence all directors and if we have lost
