BY the arrival Of the Star Of the West,
we have the California mails of Aug. 20,
two weeks later. The steamer brings $l,-
100000 in gold. The Frazer River ex-
citement has come to a sudden termination,
and many Of the runaways in the recent
stampede have returned to their accustom-
ed diggings. Tho latest reports from the
mining region announce great distress A.
mong the emIgrants. The scarcity Of food
almost amounted TO famine. Little gold
was found. on account, Of the hight Of the

can party b. undertaking and executing
all the laudabie purposes of their organl-
Zation. ANY other mode OF ''f1slon
could not fail to be unseemly and unpop-
ql3r.
What was badly planned was worse ex-
ecuted. The Republican State Conven-
iion should have either acccdcd frankly
and cheerfuiiy TO the overtures Of the
Americans, or it should have kindly and
courtcously declined them, assigning rea-
sons therefor. 1t did neither 1t enter
tanned and seemed about to accede to the
American oyerturcs, when all at once the
report of the Conference Committee was
referred, and the Gonycntiop proceeded
to nominate candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant! That the Americans were
incensed at this, regarding it as a wanton
Insult, was not surprising. We have lis
tened to a dozen different explanations OF
t..e matter from divers Republicans en-
gagged in it; but they did not, either sew
orally or uuitedly, convince us that the
proceeding was proper and justifable.-
That it aided to send Thirty or Forty
Thousand American votes to Parker aud
his colleagues, is very clear. That ii
would haze beaten our State Ticket, and
half a dozen Of our Members of Congress
but for the eleetrifying results of the
PENNSYLVANIA and other October Elec
tiOus, we cannot doubt. Briefly, New
York was thrown away at Syracuse OF
the Sth-9th of last September, and only
regained by virtue Of the magnificent
achievements of our brethren III other
States on the 18th of October

From ths Tribune, No0. 4tA.

This victory just won hy the Republi-
cans of our State is one of which We can
net feel proud. We ought to have tri-
umphed by Fifty Thousand Majority, and
might have done so but for culpable mis-
leading. The State is hostile to the Fed
eral Administration by at least One Hun
dred Thousand Majority, and the Repub-
lican party is the nucleus and natural
head of that majority. Had our late
State Convention at Syracuse been wise
~ eounseled and led, We should have tri-
lmphed by at least Fifty Thousand Ma
jority. To this end, it was not necessary
TO appoint Conference Committees, enter
upon difficult negotiations, uor halve tick
cts. What should have been done was
this. /, Hold our Convention some
weeks earlier than we did-before anv
other party was in the field; 2. In that
Convention, take ground in favor of a
Registry Law, and of every necessary pre-
caution against party Naturalizations and
against every facility for fraudulent Vot-
ing; 8. Nominate for Lieutenant-G 6 ov-
ernor some able and popular anti-Lecomp-
ton American. like James O. Putnam,
with the present Americap State Prison
lospector, or another good man Of like
political antecedents; 4 Decide to nomi-
nate anti-Lecom. tn Americans for Con.
gress in three or four of the Districts
containing the mqst American voters and
so with regard to the Legislature. This
done, let all other parties hold their con
yentions when they would aud nominate
whom they pleased. Had the American.
Nominated other State candidates than
those thus presented by the Republicans,
we do not believe they could have polled
twenty thousand votes for them III the
State.
Instead Of this, our State Convention
wa kept back to within eight weeks Of
tse Election it was said, to give oppor-
t1sity fg formal conference taereat with
he 4 AnsriGaEs This was just what
