Dear Sir Since the conversation NC
had upon the subject Of tho unfortunate
division in the democratic party in New
York, feel moro aud moro convince
that the present Reorganization cannot
fail TO ondangcr The success of the prin.
cirlcs of the party there, and TO prove
injurious elsewhere But the separation
IL effected A conviction has forced it,
self upon my mind, that by democrats
pledged to each Other upon common
platform of principles, the division could
and ought 10 have been prevented.
You are aware that the principles of
the Baltimore Convention, and the poll
cy intmatcd in the inaugural address,
the President and his constitutional ad-
viscrs, stand pledged to before the world.
They have been and are united as one
man upon these prime pies and that pol
icy, aud had reason to believe that all
gentlemen who consented to accept Office
under the administration. stood pledged
to the same principles and policy.
- the President understands the
princi pies avowed as the platform of the
party at Baltimore, all democrats who
joined i'll unfolding and carrying out
the same were entitled to be recognized
AS worthy of the confidence of the united
party, and consequently eligible to Off
cial station.
That al could not obtain cflice was
manifest, and that the distribution could
not be exactly equal amongst the diff
tcrent sections of the party, was equally
certain Yet the distribution was inton-
dcd to be so made as to give Just cause
OF complaint to no one section. and it is
believed that this intention has been
carried out, not only by the President
himself. but by most of his appointces,
in respect to the Offices under the lat
ter
1t has so happened that your appoint
ments have been very generally made
from that portion of the party to which
you adhere. This you thought best
calculated to secure union and harmony.
That desirable object has failed to be
obtained and the other portion of the
party feel that they have not been fully
recognized by you. and. as things now
stand, may not do justice to your mo-
tivcs. call your attention to this sub
jcct. aud to the fact that the President
aud his Cabinet. with entire unanimity.
recognize that nortiou Of the marty rs
democrats distinctly ayoNinp and firmly
maintaining the PRINCIPLES of the Balti-
more platform. and entitled to be rccor.

in your DEPARTMENT Allow me to OK
press the expectation that you will so
recognize them in the only way that will
carry conviction with it.

Monday, Oct "a.

Matters here are In most excellent
condition for long session. Several
bills have been introduced providing for
the repeal, amendment, or entire trans
portation of the Liquor law of 1852
Among the number are-one by Judge
Davis, for unconditional repeal one by
Gov. Coolidge, for important modifca.
tions, corresponding nearly with the
views of a large number of the more mod.

Mr.. Page, of Rutland, going still fur

The caucussing for Governor has gone
forward but slightly since Friday. 1t

election on Wednesday, The Free Soil
members have it in their power to elect
either Fairbanks or though
they seem to be divided among them

party, as a suit. to the Locofocos. They
cannot succeed. A majority may go fo'

will most certainly defeat the great pur

How KENTUCKY GOT ITS NAME
The origin and meaning of the name
Kentucky, has been accounted for in
different ways, both ingenious and
plausible. The latest analysis OF the
word Kentucky, that we have heard,
we had a few days ago from the lips OF
an old hunter, now in the ninety ninth
year OF his age. When Boone first
came to this country, it was mhub.teG
exclusively by no tribe of Indians. ~,

n gentleman VINO has recently re-
turned to New York from the East.
having witnessed review of 100. 900
Russian troops by Nicholas himself,
describes the personal appearance of
the mucror, and gives instances of
his strict military discipline. The
Car is perfect specimen of the ply.
steal MN; In height six feet three,
and admirably rropor,ioncd, with snow
white hair and ruddy countcnance.
He was plainly dressed in dark green
frock, with black chapeau without
feathers, and mounted Oh coal black
charger, Of immense size. the Gar
looked " every inch a King"
AS the troops were passing before
him, he suddenly raised his hand as a
signal for a halt, when he dismountcd,
walked up to a private in the ranks,
and asked him to unbutton lis coat.
On finding that the soldier was with
out a shirt, the Emperor promptly or.
dered tho officers of the company to
Siberia, and the officers of the regi-
ment were Instantly degraded to the
ranks as privatcs. Some two hours af.
forwards, Nicholas made another in
spection of the con lition of the soldiers,
and finding all right, promoted every
o'ilc>r in the Division, comforting the
orders with his own hands. 1t is the
kind Of discipline that makos the Rus
sian army the most efficient in the
world, and the head of it the idol of
the common soldier.
A tragic story has recently been
published, Of the massacre of an entire
regiment Of soldiers, by the Empcror's
orders, on field day, on account of
their alleged participation in corspira-
cy. The signal for moving down the
ranks was given by the Emperor, who
suddenly rode up to the Commanding
officer and blew out his brains with
pistol. 1t is evidently the purpose of
the present ruler of the Russian En-
pire, to inspire dread among his: sub.
.jects, rather than allow the menace
of assassination, which has destroyed
his predecessors, to subdue his spirit
and qualify the rigor of discipline
which maintains lis power over the
vast dolniuions that acknowledge his
authority. The highest encomiums
have been passed upon the personal
character Of this Sovereign, by those
who have had across to his Court, and
he is said to be one Of the most en-
lightened monarchs now living. There
can be 10 doubt, however, that his
mind is absorbed with ideas and de-
slgus Of conquest, and the accomplish !
meut Of the wishes which one of his
greatest ancestors left as a legacy for
those who should occupy the throne.
The world never sympathizes with
those who seek to take away tie los.
sessions Of their nci.hbors, who are
guilty Of no greater wrong than en-
deavoring to keep what others covet.
So Nicholas fails of the assent of the
others powers of Europe to his scheme
of taking the Capital Of the Ottoman,
and thus adding corner stone to his
alrca y colossal fabric of Empire. In
this ardent wish, he will be foilcd, VIC
fancy, as Alexander was, when he at
tempted the same thing by alliance
with NAPOLEON.
