morning with a very fair display Of provisions in

,otv and they had cbosen 10 exercise their power they
could have prevented these sesed msprsoes But wnen
comes individual responsibility the Dsmeor." nsve no
to reproseh their opponents The number Of vena memoe
was quite az great their ranks In those Of the hepuoncan
party"
II seems unaccountable that we should be re-
ouired toref1te statements atwar with notorious
truth as the foregoing. ..H
THE TRIBUNE has, from first to last. insisted on
stripping this whole subject so far as possible OF
all partisan aspects. Our late Legislature was no.
toriously, abominably corrupt, as is our present
Common Council. OF that Legislature, large
majority were Republicans; Of the Common Coun-
Gil, like majority are Democrats. We have not
allowed politics in either case to swerve our course
one hair, but have rebuked official corruption rs
forcbly and sterDly as we could, calling names Of
Republicans and Democrats with equal freedom,
and holding up delinquents to the indignation of
their constituents and the community. We have
published-not once only, but repeatedly-the Yeas
and Nays in either branch of the Legislature on
all the measures which seem tainted with corrup-
tion, Distinguishing the politics of each member so
that the public could not only what indiVid-
uals were inculpated, but how far each party
was responsible for the prevalent corrupIion'
We have done just the same with regard 10
the rascalities of our Common Council Our single
aim has been, not to make party capital, but to
place the responsibility in each case exactly where
it belongs. 1t does seem to us that, If the current
notions of party and an independent journal
respectively were correct, The Times should have
been doing Just what we have done, instead OF
cayiling at our manner of doing it. 1t is not true
that we have endeavored to lay the entire burden
of last Winters misdOings on the shoulders OF any
individual, nor that &c the Democrats have been
quietly allowed to throw the eUtire burden OF this
'imputed corruption the shoulders OF the Repub-
/" leans" Nor is The Times right in asserting
that " the number of yenal members was quite as
great in their THE DemOcratic1 ranks as In
q those of the Republican party" The namber OF
Democrats who voted for the palpably corrupt
measures of our Legislature was not 80 great as
was that of the Republicans, but the proportion OF
the Democrats 80 betrsying their high trust was
far greater than was that of the Republicans. So
| in our Common Council; it is very true that the
Democrats have large majority in either branch;
but so long as Republicans are VIGOROUSLY partici-
! pants in the vilainies Of " the Riog," we do not
see that we can justly hold the Democratic party
specially responsible for those atrocities. Let us
put politics entirely out of sight, and deal with
rogues in Office simply as knayes, and we may hope
to bring them to justice. So long as we keep
wraneliug as to how many of them are Democrats
and how many Republicans, we shall be only rails
ipg dust under which rascality will evade justice

GOV. BANKS.

We find in the Boston papers reports that the
Hon. n. p. Banks, Governor of Massachusetts,,
who has been thrice elected to that exalted station
without a serious contest and who would have
been unanimously renomiuated and again over
whelmingly elected, has been urged to take high
position in great Western Railroad Understood
to be the Illinois Ger tra) and that he will probably
conclude to accept it. Such acceptance involves
residence in or near Chicago, and of course pre-
cludes the retention of his present or the accept
ance of any other political Office. His present
term expires on the LIST of January next, and his
new duties-should he COZ clude to accept the post
rendered him-will doubtless be undertaken imme-
diately thereafter.
Gov. Banks, though hardly yet fifty years old,
and commencing life in its humbest walks, and as
Democrat In State where JacksOnism was in
tensey unpopular, has had a very successful
career. He was elected, while still young man.
to represent his town (Waltham) in the Legsla-
ture, though that town was Wing; be was re-
elected and chosen Speaker when the Democratic
and Free.Soil coalition first shook the Wing as
tendency; he was chosen to the Constitutional
Convention and became its President; he was next
elected to Congress, and in his second term, made
Speaker; in 1857 he was chosen the first dis
tinctively Republican Governor of Massachusetts,,
and reelected with scarcely an effort in 1853 and
| 1859. We cannot recall an instance in which he
has been an unsuccessful candidate for any i'm
pOrtant station.
But though an eminently successful politician,
he is understood to be very poor BY wise meas
ures of retenchment, the dminution Of offices, and
the cutting off of various leaks in the Treasury he
has reduced the cost of Government to the People
| of Massachusetts to the amount Of over One MI
| lion Dollars per annum. He has done all that he
knows how to do in that direction; and great
corporation whose managers have been witnesses
| of his labors and their fruits, says to him, " Wa
"want Just such an Overhauling and pruning OF
"our expenses as you have given to those OF the
estate: we want, in short your services, and will
spay you twice the wages the State gives you. "
And the Governor, having four strong arguments
in favor of the new service proposed-a wife,
namely, and three children-is thought inclined to
accept the offer.
Young men who covet political posts and honors
may perhaps find something to think of in these
facts-at least, in the honorable poverty which
they reveal If such is the net result of twenty
five years successful devotion to politics. what
must be the fate Of the unsuccessful OF course,
there are ways of getting rich by Office, as there
are by picking pockets or breaking into bank
| vaults-but we leave these out of the account. II
| an honest man is constrained to decline the Gov.
ernorshin of great and rich State like Massachu-
sets because he must coin bread for his family,
would it not be wise to earn q competence before
| going into public political life at all

The Republican State Convention, which ad-
jOurned at Syracuse on Wednesday night, was,
apart from its noble zeal and enthusiasm in behalf
of the Republican cause, of such importance in the
history of the State that few facts respecting it
ought to be universally understood.
The sentiment which, next to the hostility to
the extension of Slavery, animated the great ma
jority of the Convention and influenced all its ac-
tioD, was deep sense of indignation at the cor
rupt legislation which has recently disgraced this
State. This feeling found decided expression III
the enthusiastic acclamatOns which greeted the
names of Edwin d. Morgan and Robert Campbell,
when it was proposed to nominate them without
the usual formalities. They received this msgnif-
cent tribute, not from any unusual personal popu-
larity of theirs, but because they are identified
in the public mind with pure and honest law
making. and with stern ard uuyieldiog resistance
to every seduction from the path of official duty
The same sentiment was manifested in the TesO-
buttons; and in the very moderation of the language
in which TIE condemnation of this alarming evil is
coucbed, there is an additional indication Of the
depth and power Of the impulse from which it pro.
ceeded.
The Lobby was at Syracuse in force, and both
branches of the late Legislature we're fully repre-
seated But all guilty parties seemed to be struck
with awe at the aspect OF the Convention Desti-
tute of oil influence tie course of its proceedings,
they wisely made themselves the reverse Of con-
spicuous, and were heard even less than they were
seen.
This Convention thus teaches at the right mo-
prnt an indispensable lesson. 1t proves that the
! lie are abundantly able to take care of their
cd affairs, and that they will as little fail to
L. gnize ard reward Official honesty and fidelity
g. condemn and punish their OppOsites.

Among the leading spirits of the late Douglas
State Convention was j. A. McMaster, esq, of
The Freeman's Journal, who was there, as it were,
in double capacity, not only as Douglas man,
but as an eminent Roman Catholic also. OF course,
if there had been any secret understanding to the
effect that the Wings and Know .Nothings on the
Electoral Ticket nominated by that Convention
were finally, in case of their election, to vote for
Bell and Everett, Mr.. McMaster would have known
it, aud would have repudiated and denounced it
with hearty Indignation. But now listen to what
he says on the subject:
There is large body citizens who sucs
the disruption Of the old Wing party have held aoo from Pol
cal organizations They Union in their sentiments

preted by what 1t has done.'
This is in total contradiction to the statements
of Mr.. w. Hunt and The ~ Y Express. They say
that there are ten men on the Douglas ticket who
are pledged to vote not for Douglas but for Bell.
Mr.. McMaster says this is not the truth, and that
those Candidates on that ticket who have hitherto
been known as Wings or Americans, have now
identified themselves with the Douglas party, and
are in nomination exclusively as Douglas men.
Thus The Freeman's Journal has the same under
standing of the subject, and the same recollection

If Judge Douglas does mt take care, in the
course of his oratorcal peregrinatons he VIII got
the same comicaI reputation which has attached
itself 10 the Hon. W. Hunt, to wit that OF always
making the same old speech. 1t must be confessed
that the Judges speech is getting to be rasner
thresdbare to be sure. Perhaps hs might vary IL
ard fresben it up little BY putting in an answer
to the questions he lodged the other DAY In Au-
eusta. By way of recalling the SUBJECT 70 MS
memory, we will repeat them here:

In New. Jersey the Bell men fuse with the Breck-
inridgers. They print the terms of the bargain,
and all is fair and above board. There are no
false pretenses in the case.
In New-York, the Bell men fuse with the Douglas
men, and here too they print the terms Of the bar
gain in the official proceedings of the Convention
where it was completed. According to these
terms, ten pretended Bell men are made Douglas
Electors, and if elected are to vote solidly for
Douglas and Johnson.
But here comes in the false pretense. Notwith-
standing this public bargain, it is pretended by w.
Hunt and others that they still to vote for Bell
and Everett. Oughtn't Hunt to blush at himself
for telling such stories Oh Hunt fie, for shame

Judge Kent justly enjoys high re-
putation in this community. And yet we find
him placed in an ambiguous position in matter
concerning which the public have right to be
accurately informed, Mr.. Kent is candidate for
Presidential Elector on the Douglas ticket. Mr..
Hunt and Mr.. Brooks say he is on that ticket un-
der pledge in the event Of his election, to vote
for Bell and Everett. Mr.. Ottendorfer, another
candidate on the same ticket, says that Mr.. Kent
is pledged to vote for Douglas. So also says Mr.
McMaster. The public wish to know which of
these ayerments is true, and where the fraud lies,
for fraud there is upon the part of ether
the Union man or the Douglas man.
Will not Mr.. Kent candidly lay the real truth be-
fore the public Can he well remaiu silent under
the circumstances

WILLIAM G. BRYANT and JAMES o, PUTNAM

WILLIAM C. BRYANT and JAMES o. PUTNAM
are happily combined as the Senatorial Electors on
the Lincoln ticket. Mr. Bryant is our greatest
living poet, has been sn editor for nearly forty
years, and was an oracle Of Radical Democracy
for more than twenty years. he effectively sup
ported Jackson, Van Buren,, Polk, but revolted
with the disciples of Samuel Young aud silas
Wright from the intrigue for Slavery Extension
under the guise Of Popular Sovereignty. There is
no man in our State more widely known and ad.
mired.
JAMES o. PUTNAM was Wing of the school Of
Clay and Webster, united with the Americans, "
and was elected by them to the Senate. He zeal
ously supported Willard Fillmore in so, and
headed the american" State Ticket in 1857.
He is now heartily with the Republicans for Lin
coin and Hamln, as are most of the former Ameri-
cans of Western New-York. The People will in
sst that he shall take leading part in the canvass
now TO be opened in earnest.

The Douglas men boast that, as becomes the
regular Democracy, they make no coalitions with
other parties. Thus in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey they sternly refuse to cooperate with the
Brecknrideers, and insist on running straight tick
cts. The same is true, they say, in this State
Here they have taken in lot of old fogies and put
them on their Electoral ticket. They may PEE
tend to be Bell.Everett men in order to get votes
but they are pledged to vote for Douglas all the
same. This is what the Douglas men say. Is it
