1HE NEW YORK EVENING POST ON TIE
REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE.-The Evening
Post, of The city of New York, conducted
by liza, veteran in radical Democracy, VIM.
C. Bryant, Is one of the oldest, and has
been one OF the most consistent, straight
forward and determined OF the Democratic
newspapers in that State. Although ever
liberal and true 10 tho natural impulses of
our common nature upon all questions con-
necled with the question OF human servi-
iuie, il has also been asieadiast party organ
Of the so-caled Democracy, and few journ-
ais were mere earnest in support OF the Bal
limore nominations than this paper. The
action OF Congress in the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise, and the subsequent
in,ol ,rance of the Administration towards
all who will no, submit, 10 its demands OF
acquie,cence has, at last, step BY step, driv-
en- this journal into an attitude Of positive
hostility TO the Administration. Under
ihes, circumstances, lis reception OF the
New York State Republican Convention
was looked for with curiosity and an inter-
es, rarely felt. The following Is the lead
ing article in It's issue Of Saturday, in which
il substantially endorses and accepts its re-
suits with favor and approyal.-Boston 1T.

TIE REPUBLICAN CoNvESTioS.-Thcre
is no doubt that in the resolutions adopted
by the late Republican and Wing Conven-
tons, in regard TO slavery, the candidates Of
their joint nomination have an element Of
strength which no other ticket will possess.
They express distinctly, unequivocally and
earnestly the sentiment OF at least three
fourhs Of the people Of this State in regard
10 The administration policy in Kansas, and
that has been done by no other convention.
In the selection OF candidates an equally
dis,inc, issue is made with tho Kansas-Ne-
braska party. Not man is named about
whose views any doubt can be entertained I;
no, man with single exception, per-
haps,) who is no, prepared 10 make tho ma
iionaliiy of freedom and the sec,ionaliiy Of
slavery paramount 10 every other political
question in the present canvass.
Among them will be recognized some
whose names have been identified with the
most memorable triumphs OF the democrat
ic party during tho last quarter OF GEN.
tury-men who in various public capaci-
ties have served their country with dis,in-
guished ability and fidelity; men who have
been exposed 10 such temptations as are
rarely resisted, aud who have come from
them like gold from the refner's fire, mole
pure and more teservedly valued. They
have been constrained TO form new, and,
TO some extent, perhaps uncongenial asso.
Citations by the course pursued by their old
friends, and 10 take upon themselves the re.
sponsibiliiy OF commencing the dissolution
or an organization which has ceased 10 serve
the cause OF freedom and justice.
We cannot announce this result without
emotion. We cannot look with indifer.
ence upon old personal and political friends,
whose Joys have been our joys and whose
sorrows ;-men whose honor and patriotism
are above suspicion, arayed agains, each
other, with their swords crossed and ready,
we had almos, said, 10 spill fraiernal blood.
And who is responsible for this painful
spectacle I But one answer can be given.
The delegates who composed the Syracuse
Convention Of the 26lh Of August. who,
instead Of rejecting the sentiments oil their
constituents, chose 10 take their law OF ac-
ton from Washington who, instead Of lot.
ting New York be ruled BY New Yorkeu,
have taken counsel from the Washington
Union, The Richmond Enquirer and Caleb
Cushing; they are responsible. Rather
than break their relations with such crea-
lures as direc, the slavery policy Of Presi.
deni Pierce, they have consented 10 ALLEVIATE
from their organization democrats like Pres.
Ion King and Abijah Mann, either cfwhom
is more valuable 10 whatever party they
counec, themselves than wilderness Of
such men as the Accident Of an Accident,
who now dispenses the patronage OF this
at Washington.
