Republican Convention mt
u0rtant Movement.

Syracuse tomorrow The members Of that
party are called black republicans by the d me-
Gratis and the Know Nothings, although 1t would
be, in our opinion, more appropriate to call some
Of them-such as Thurlow Weed and his con-
j1eree-not black republicans, but dirty republi-
cans. We think that the democrats have much
better lien on the epithet "black," as prefix to
their general name, than any other existing
party--according to the speech of Gov. Wise-in
this country; for they appear to be more in
terested in niger stock, in the rise
and fall of the price of blacks, than
any other party in the Union at the
present day. Be this as it may-as far as taste
in names is concerned-the republicans other
wise the supporters Of Fremont-comprehendn
a variety of conflicting, though popular and con
structive elements-will meet in convention at
Syracuse tomorrow, for the purpose we have
already stated.
This movement is probably-as regards this
Static one of the most important of those that
have taken place since the nomination Of FIRE.
mont himself. The democrats have already put
forward their candidate. Like some of the negro
travellers tell us, they have selected one Of the
Kings sons as their reigning chief, and have
slaughtered ard cooked and eaten up all the op-
posing candidates. Fernando Wood, one of the
most prominent Of these candidates, was CON-
pletely slaughtered; and accordingt to all appear
ances the Custom House is busy preparing the
cooking utensils to roast him, grill him, devil him
and eat him up in this city, tail and all, unless he
shall be able to turn the tables on them and eat
them up-a dfnouent which is just likely as any.
However, the candidate put forward by the de-
mocrats is a very respectable man in every rela-
ton Of life, in Intellectual capacity and in purity
of purpose ard conduct We have known Judge
Parker for nearly twenty years, and can say that
a more respectable man in public life could not
have been selected by the democrats In fact, the
wonder is how such camp of negro eaters as
the modern democracy is, ever selected so good
a man from the kings own family AT all
events, although we support Col. Fremont for
the Presidency, we are not committed to the in
sane and foolish acts of some of those who con-
stitute his supporters. If the Republican Con-
vention at Syracuse do not select proper man
as their candidate for Governor, we shall throw
the whole batch overheard, and see what we can
do to elect Judge Parker, notwithstanding the ter
rble sins whose shadows hang about him in con-
sequence of the origin Of his nomination.
Thurlow Weed and his clique have put for
ward several candidates, whom they mean by the
help of the Central Railroad influence and other
corrupt bargainings to engineer through at SYRIA
cuse to morrow. Z. d. Morgan, Simeon Draper
Mr.. Grinnell, Gen. Wadsworth, Horace Greeley,
and perhaps some others, have been named. Mr.
Morgan is the chairman Of the Republican Com
mittee This is a private special committee, en-
trusted with funds for carrying on the general
campaign; but as far as We can understand, they
mismanage it in every possible way. He is con-
nected with the great railroad interests of this
State. If nominated and elected Governor he
will be their nominee and agent, and on that
score be ought to be opposed by every popular
element in this great State, unless we wish to sell
it, with its 100000 electors, to q sort Of Camden
and Amboy company on large scale. We will
not support Mr.. Morgan.
Simeon Draper is very amiable man, but a
good for nothing politician. He is great at a
dinner speech, but if elected Governor he would
fall under the influence which has put forward Mr..
Morgan. and therefore we viii have none Of him.
Mr. Grinnell comes under the same category
Another name has been mentioned-that OF
Gen. wadsworth, from the western part Of this
State. he has been heretofore a democrat, and
is o very respectable man; and should his nomi-
nation proceed from the right quarter, with an
understanding that he is not to be the agent Of

in the approaching contest. But we understand
that the "little villain OF this Statc-as he has
been politically designated by hisbro,hers In attic
ton-has been endeavorng to make an arrange
ment or bargain with the friends Of this gentleman
The arrangement il to put General Wadsworth
forward as the nominee for Governor, provided
his friends shall unite next winter, at ALI y
and elect the aforementioned little villain" 10
the Senate of the United States. We are opposed
to all such bargains, either before or after cleo
tons. and we should like to see the friends Of
General Wadworth, and Of every other promi-
nent candidate for the position of Governor set
ting their faces against all such intrigues and
corrupt bargains.
Another name has also been mentioned in con-
Dection with the Governorship. II l. that Of
person unconnccted with any Of these cliques, but
associated with 50 many philosophical oddities
and heresies that people think he would make
