THE NEW YORK BLACK REPUBLICAN, STATE
TICKET

The Albany Argus, in its issue of yesterday morn
ing has the following rstrate notice. of the ticket
just placed in nomination by the black-republican
State convention of New York:
Nothing shows the weakness of the black Republican
party organization much the State ticket that
has been dctaed to it, and which is presented to the
country The nominations extorted by the candi
dates under threats and denunciations.
Mr. Clapp, the nominee for secretary of State, de-
nounced the corupons of his party openly epoused the
leading principles of the know nothngs and manifested
nsubordinaton that only to be appeased by the
gift of office.
nounced the corupons of the central power and threat
ened nsurrecon unless also appeased by Office They
receive two placsthat of comptroller and that of canal
Mr. Hogeboom, who identified with
the vetoed supply bill, and other of the last
session. generally condemned demanded of the
first places the programme. Defeated by shuttle of
the cards, his friends denounced tho maneuvrng of the
convention and they appeased by the gift of the
treasuryship.
1.-THE patchwork coalition falling apart into its
several elements of anaticsm, and each of the dema
gogue leaders preparing to march off with his faction
when the device of giving Office to each was hit upon
a temporary expedient.
Thus the party is differed by the insubordnate and
disloya who have denounced its conduct and de-
cared their want of confidence in Its principles"
The Argus concludes
"a ticket thus male can have strength. 1t does
not come from the ranks. The nominations were OBJ
tanned by disadected men, operating the fears of the
convention. There be enthusiasm in their behalf
and desire to this extortion successful has
the party anything to expect of administration f
elected composed of such warning elements
We have fears of such ticket If elected it will
be owing to the apathy and naction of its opponents and
not to any inherent strength of its own"

Expenditures exclusive of debt -S232 434 S72 95
Average annual expenditures 58,l0s7ls %
1t will be seen that exclusive of the public debt,
the average expenses under Mr.. Van Buren were
$50, ,437 ,987 a. and under Mr. Polk Sal 345 256 Sc
and that his last year they were about forty instead
of twenty-seven millions !; and that the average of
expenses excluding the public debt under the late
administration was $5s, ,1Os, ,7ls %. 1t should be
borne in mind that our territory had greatly in
creased in size, naturally adding to its business.
Our army and navy have been greatly enlarged, and
our mail establishment has been, to the amount of
millions, quarered upon the treasury. Our increase
of territory and extending settlements have involved
us in Indian wars and occasioned many new ex
penses, besides that Of purchasing millions of acres of
another government. While these things account
for increased expenditures, VIC shall raise our voice
in favor of reducing the public expenses to the low
est point consistent with the public welfare We
sure that the democratic party will go with us
upon this subject We trust the Mercury will now
be satisfied that we pursuing the right course to
secure the perpetuity of the Union.

AN APPEAL.

We publish below letter from Mrs. Mayor
Magruder, addressed to her countrywomen, pro-
posing to them that meetings be held in every vii
age town, and city in the country, to raise funds to
be invested for the use and benefit of the now desti
tute widow and daughter of the late Commander
Herndon. The suggestion is worthy of the heart of
generous grateful, sympathizing woman. And it is
every way fitting that the wife of the chief magis-
trae of the metropolitan city should take the nita
tive in this appropriate and generous purpose. Let
the meetings be held And let the noble women of
our great country respond to the call, which the
bereaved and the helpless make through of their
own sex, upon their sympathy and succor We
cannot doubt that this benevolent appeal will be
of him, whose last effort for the safety of the
wives and children of Others will be saved from the
crushing ills of penury and dependence:

THE FEELING IN PENNSYLVANIA.

We take the following from the Perry (Pennsylva-

wherever Gen, Packer has addressed democratic
meeting the people have turned out in great numbers to
greet him. and manifested the iveliest enthusiasm. On
the contrary, wherever Mr. Wilmot has appeared the
meetings dull and the turnout remarkably small
AT Hollidaysburg, Huntingdon, and Chambersburg
Gently, their meetings but fzzles What do these
signs betoken Do they not plainly point out that Gen.
Packer is to be next governor and that the people
heartily sick of this everlasting slavery agitation, and
desire to give the who at the head of it merit

tuition to place in their gubernatoral chair blackrepub

The Philadelphia Argus says
"Wilmot appears to be making poor headway in the

and he meets therefore, with much coolness and in
difference that he has abandoned some of the appoint
