fcw with the milk and honey Of repentance and
reformation In fact, a. far o doc words will
suffice to butter our pTsnips, the managers Of the
Seward organisation take the wind out Of the
sails of both the democracy and the Know No.
things Thus, whtle the rascalities Of the pl ID
der gang of our last Legislature are conte ssed
ard deplored, their promises Of atonement are
positively refreshing. We have no doubt that
such men of lofty principles as Thurlow Weed
and O. B. Mssteson will read this patriotic, self
confesfing, self denying Syracuse platform of
their friends and brethren with tears of joy In
their eyes.
To sum up between these three parties on our
State policy, we come to the conclusion that
while they all denounce. condemn and deplore
the atrocious usurpaticns and lobby spoiis jobs
OF our last Legislature, and while they are all
p ofuse in their protestations and promies
of reform, they are all playing the con-
foeUce game With the dear people
of Peter Funk the mock auctioneer. The ssnt-
fcstions of the democracy, the unsatisfactory
geIeralites of the Know Nothings and the by.
pocritical pretences of the Seward fusionists we
rate at about the same value. As democratic
member indicated at Syracuse, our managing
politicians can give us almost any resolution that
is wanted, and it is because while the man is the
great thing, party resolution means ything or
nothing, as the occasion may require.
Toe real question before the people Ia upon a
choice of men in this State election; and here, we
apprebend, the speculators stockholders and lobby
corps at Albany have the inside track with each
of these three aforesaid patriotic pure and disin-
terctted Syracuse conventions. We apprehend
that we shall obtain no relief no reforms, no re-
her cbments from our Albany Law makers short
Of sweeping popular revolution, which shall
drive the managing stockholders and spoilsmen
of our corrupt existing parties into the back
ground, and inaugurate new and dominant
party, fresh from the ranks of the people, To
this end not great deal can be done in the in
terval to our November election; yet something
to the purpose may be accomplished from the in.
dc pendert action of every Independent mau
in regard to his candidates for the
Legislature. Thus, for example, the de-
moralization and disintegation of our corrupt
existing parties can be exhibited go clearly as to
create an immediate opening for new popular
party organization, up to the exact necessities
al d issues of the day.
In this view, we believe that at this moment,
upon a fair test, the administration of Mr.. Blu.
chapan would receive q majority of the SURFACES
of the people Of the Empire State. The demo-
cracy at Syracuse were at least perfectly harmo-
Nous in their approval Of Mr.. Buchanan's policy,
as thus far developed. The Know Nothing State
Convention expressed its consent by its silenca
for that silence was, undoubtedly, the result Of a
conviction OF the rapidly growing popularity of
our honest President with the masses OF the
people Of all parties Bleeding Kansas" how
ever, continues the mainstay of the Seward
when, in truth, the dolngs of Gov
Walker in Kansas will no more apply to the
practical issues of our November election than
the movements of Gen. Walker for q new invs-
sion Of Nicaragua.
The people Of Kansas are taking good care Of
people of New York. wholly in
different to party conventions or party platforms,
but with vigilant eye upon the spectators aud
stockholders Of all parties, and upon their
schemes should eft the various candidates before
them-especially for the Legislature-and
choose accordingly. In this way something
may be done as early as November to break up
our corrupt party combinations OF the day, and
TO clear the track for u wholesome popular
revolution.
