Of tie Wigs it was, with great reluctance on tho
port Of the Republican Committee, dsclced to sub

Platform was agreed upon 10 JOINT Com Uittee
aid the Wing Convention, WITH our prosent Gov

part Of the Republican Convention.
Thus WIS formed new party, under no obligation

bers in each Disiiict to exhibit liberaLty aud
accord fair besiipg to members Of the Old partes
respectively from tich 1t was made up, double
elegston was resolved upon for each District, sod
the result has been harmonious action; Hhile Re
publicans who We're formerly Democrats aud those
who were Wbigs have each been fairy heard aud
teeded. 1t seems, however, that, at the last state
Convention, the Editor f The Erening Jonna! WAS
cot called upon 10 advise as to what csndidaAs
should be put upon the State Ticket 10 the same
mailer as when the Wing party WAS In existence;
and, a. heugh that jOurnsl admits that the ticset
formed Was good ole, it intimases that is
defeat Que at least in part TO that circumstance.
That is pos.ible; ard it WAS suggested as more
than possible at the Convention. The R-pubdc,n
party must be less sluggish and careless tasn it WAS
la,t year. if it desires to elect ever srope ticket;
but is not hbey 10 order TO avoid defeat TO

To prevent q repetition of the peryerse working
Of our political machinery complaired of, move
neIt vas set on foot to Limit tte representation in
this years State Convsption to one deegste from
each Assembly District, aud The Erening Post sud
charge Bot the State Com nittee, after full
discussion, determined TO adhere 10 the est.bli.hed
Repubcsa ussge. This, ssaD, Is represented as
part Of pot extending from Staten Island to
Buffalo, TO overthrow the Republican cause; aud a
esdiIg article in The Albany Erenng Journal re-
cites the political lato-s Of the veteran Editor, with
a loIg LIST Of the eminent citizens whom he has
from time to time supported for State nominations,
generally with success. lie concludes with
suggestion that tie general wish for his re
tireueIt lad better be yielded TO, aud that the
sea msy be Gained upon his being cast overheard.
This suggs sticD awakeDs the generous sym 2athies
Of Tie Post aud The Courier, aud they join in
recitirg his lopg services ard eminent qaalifcs
tioDs, and urging that he again take the helm. To-
deed, they .eem to think that without him the Re.
publican patty would not have existed, aud th.t
without lin it must perish.
Now, al 4 is uncaued for and unnecessary. The
determination on the part of most OF those active
in tie Republican cause te act independently, and
TO Il snteSt LIBERAL spirit toward all disposed TO
act With them, does not involve the necessity of
throwing Mr.. Weed overheard. His services are
valuable, and his counsels, when rot controlled by
those stror persons s. attachments which form part
of his character, must ever have great weight with
bis party There is, howeyer no reason for sub
stitutipg any enc mans opinions or conclusions for
the unbiased judgment Of the chosen representatives
of party so weishty both in numbers aud in
character as tie Republicans Of the Empire State
This patty solicits counsel from all its members,
