THE MODERN ALEXANDER.

A change has come over Mr.. Henry a. Wise of
Virginia. He has written short letter to Col.
Wright of Boston, which he calls "hurrled
whereas he used to write very long essays,
which he called hurried letters. The change lie a
hopeful one. When men are in earnest they use
few words. MIR. Wise has reached that point
where be says lttle and, it is to be hped, thinks
much, and means what he says. IL he means
hat he says in this letter. We are thankful that at

If Judge Pratt, the President of the Douglas
Convention at Syracuse, fairly set forth the faith
of his friends on taking the chair yesterday, he
stultifes himself and biz associates if they shall
hereafter consent to.any amagamation with their
opponents of the late Democratic organization. So
far as principles are concerned he renders such a
coalition with them as absurd as it would be with
the Republicans. For the only difference he re-
cOguizes between the Republicans and the present
Democratic patty which supports Breckinrdge
and Lane, is that one claims the Federal Govern
ment shall exercise power contrary to the will
of the people for the sake Of the South, while the
other, according to Pratt proposes to do the same
thing for the sake of the North. The contrary
doctrine he holds is entertained by "a large ma
"jorty of the people" aud yet, as singular
commentary upon this belief, he confesses to the
fear that they will permit this principle to be per-
yeIted 1t is certainly remarkably clumsy
method of commenting his own party thus to re-
proach the people either with not knowing their
own principles, or not having the manliness to
mail tain them.
Judge Pratt is quite as unfortunate in his exam-
pie of the corrupt character of the Republican
party. The last Legislature Of this State was uu-
doubleday very corrupt one, as we have been
dlgeDt in showing. But as our readers know it
is only against a minority Of the Republicans that
this charge will hold, and they are laid on the
shelf forever; while the Democratic delegations in
both Houses were stepped to the lips in corruption
and so far as we know have not yet received any
rebuke therefor from any Of their ass Jciates.

for Slate Offices put in nomination by the Soft
Convention at Syracuse yesterday:
For WILLIAM KELLEY OF Duchess
Fer Lieut. GorcrEor; MILAN Z ALIEN bIi Of 9sSes,
For State Pri'on Iapy. WILLIAM RHODES of Chemung
Mr. Kelley, the candidate for Governor, is
large farmer at Hudson. He is better known as
such than as politician; though we believe he
supported Van Buren, in 1648. He has served
with credit in the State Senate, and 10 man of
respectable talents and character. He will poll as
nearly the full strength of his party, whatever that
may be, as anybody could hope for.
The candidate for Lieut. Governor, W. f.
antecedepts. He was elected in 1847 Judge of the
Supreme Court in the With District; but now for
the fret time rises into general prominence as a
statesman.
Mr.. Wright, the candidate for Canal Commits
siOner, has not hitherto impressed himself partic-
ularly upon the public Knowledge. Our impress
SIGN is that be has taken his degree with sue
cess as caBal contractor, but we have never
heard that he was in the habit of regarding the in
terests of the State as superior to his own. How
ever as there is no danger that those interests will
now be confdei to his care, it isn't of much colse-
quence.
The last man on the ticket, Mr.. W. c. Rhodes,
is now in possession Of the Office for which he is
nominated. That he has proved himself specially
faithful or specially capable officer, We do not
know; but We do know that he has been regular
attendant upon the Legislature, in pursuit of extra
grants and allowances to the Board Of which be is
an ornament.
-Tbefirst two men on the ticket are strong with
their party; the last two are not. But altogether
it is p, rhaps as good ticket as this Convention
could have made.

Much excitement caused this morniog by NC.

of the building, comprising space of about thirty feet,
in the part of the nan passage Of the hotel
ming along salina street, fell with loud crash, carry
ing away much Of that portion of the building to the
ground Fortunately the inmates Of the several rooms
had left their apartments, and no one was injured.
A number OF workmen were engaged In the stores
below, throwing two into one which occasinned The
accident. Some IL or 20 sespirg apartments in the
hotel must have been destroyed The ,pe Of the in
mates il wonderful. The workmen had notice Of the
fall by the cracking Of the war and they all escaped.
Lorenzo Burrowes occupied of the rooms de.
stroyed and arriving late last night had not long left
the apartment at the time of the accident.
The safety Of all other portns Of the hotel Is not in
the slightest degree affected BY the fall aud the bust

Wise evidently thinks it ID quite as bad as BLACK

with the same remedy.
And what is the remedy That We may do Mr.
Wise no injustice, we will quote his exact words:

Mr.. Wite, for once, is afraid with good reason.
The triumph he deprecates is sure to come, and
he will have the opportunity Of making good his
words. He means, we presume, to do as he pro-
posed to do 10 case Of the election Of FremoDt-to
march upon the Capitol, to take possession Of the
Federal Government, to turn the Republicans out
of Washington, to save the country and the Con-
sttution by setting at naushs the will of the ma
oriiy of the people to cOerce the North into ODE
dience, aud possibly to hang Mr.. Lincoln. We
ave very glad, at least that he has taken only six
Lines instead of Elk columns to say it in, and it is
our OWL fault if We are taken by surprise. When
bis fret proclamation is issued from the White
House, we shall take the matter into serious con-
sideration and duly announce the cutting of the
new Gordisn knot.
