p.oprE,s STATE CONVENTION.

A large body Of Delegates, in favor Of vigor-
GUS and Incorporating prosecution Of the war,
representing all parts of the State, assembled at
Syracuse yesterday. Every shade of politics par
ticipsted in the proceedings. Prominent Demo.
Gratis from both the old wings Of the party,
played a conspicuous part in its doiDgsi and
leading Bell Everett men we're present to help on
the cause of tho Union and the Constitution.
Thomas G.. Alvord Of Syracuse, formerly Speak.
er of the Assembly, was temporary President,
Democrat Of thirty years standing and as
"Hard" as the neither mill. Mr. Alyord
was Delegate TO the Charleston Convention, and
supported Mr.. Breck;nri1ge Cor the Presidency.
His speech on taking the Chair was heightened
and emphatic. Like Mr. Dickinson he sustains
President Lincoln in his efforts to crush the re-
bellion BY the suspension Of the habsaS corpus,
and fayOrs uncOmprOmislng hostility, not
"only toward those with bayOuets and bowie
nknyes in their hands at the South, but
" also toward those who are nore the less
" Secessionsts by their aid and comfort at the
"North." At this palpablo Bit Of his White
Feathered brethren Of the Dean Richmond
school the Convention sprang TO its feet and
cheered vehemently, Mr.. A. was for such
action at the approaching election as would
teach the people of the South that if they
g have relied upon the sympathy of the people Of
81 the North in their rebellion, they have Leaned
upon broken reed" Such utterances, at
such crisis, from such man a. Mr.. AFord
very clearly indicate tho drift Of The tide. An
excellent letter was read from Leslie CoOmbs Of
Kentucky in which he says, moat trutofully,
that "these peace meetings with us. and I pre-
" sumo everywhere, are mere soft words for
treason, and we shall 80 treat them" The
general tenor of the proceedings had thu. far
been enthusiastic and harmonious. An apple Of
discord was here thrown into the body 10 the
shape Of semi-Secession delegation from
Albany, wIcb, after a warm speech from James
Brooks, OF the wrong side az usual, and
good deal Of miscellaneous debate, was sum
marily fossil out of the Convention Com
mittee Of AZ on the subject Of the nomination
Of candidate for State Offices was then ordered
to be aproisted Mr.. AlvOfd was chosen per.

us. TREmAIN,s LETTER.

The proofs Of the infatuatOn OF the Dean
Richmond Democracy, in refusing to unite IN
ticket this Fall that shall represent the grand
movement of the people in favor of vigorous
prosecution Of the war, multiply at every turn
Among the freshest and the most stunning ia the
letter Of Mr.. Tremain, which we publish this
morning, declining the White.Feother nomination
for Attorney General. Mr. Tremain has been all
bis life q Democrat, as he expresses it, "from
" study, reflection observation, aud conviction"
A strict disoipnaran Of the Regency school, be
never dreamed till now of boiling party noni-
nation, nor questioning the wisdom of aughs that
emauated from o Convention bearing the stamp
Of regular" A disciple Of William H. Marcy,
be has been fox years confidential adviser OF
Seymour, Richmond, Church, aad the politicians
Of that type. Cautious, wary, and shre~d, he
has been one OF the trusted counselors Of the
party; energetic, afablc and eloquent, he has
stood among its most distinguished advocates be-
fore popular assemblies. Mr.. Tremaln is gu
able lawyer In 1851 he was tie Democratic
nominee for Attorney General, aud va, success
ful. For two years he discharged the duties of
the Office acceptaby aud with credit In looo,
he was the candidate Of his party for reelection,
but was defeated. In the present emergency the
white.livered rump OF the Regency have tried to
make his popularity available in bearing up its
sinking fortunes, But IN vain Though still a
"Democrat" Of the strictest sect, he does no!
forget that he is an American citizen, and owes
duties TO bis country which tower far above the
obligations due to bis party. Ilo has therefore
noby resolved to sink the partisan in the patriot,
and, to quote bi, eloquent letter, rally under the
banner OF Our County, our whole Country,
" and nothing but our Countryi Our Union frat,
4" last and forever" :" And most Insnfully does
Mr.. Tremain bear evidence as to the authors
of this intestine war. Unlike the double dealing
resolutions Of the conclaye that nominated him,
he does not charge ii upon the agitation Of
tho Republicans, DOR upon the ''incendiari'm ="
of the Abolitionists, but declares that - the
&" South closed the door 70 all negotiation and
" compromise by an appeal to arms" IIe is
equally emphatic as TO the policy Of sinking all
minor and side Issues in the present crisis, and
uniting upon q single ticket, insisting with great
force, that Every ythiDg calculated TO divide the
/" loyal citizens Of the country should be avoided,
" and nothing done to encourage the uniounded
"beIief among tho Rebels that division, exist as
"to the course that should be pursued against
" them" But, read the letter With Hards,
ike Dickinson, and solts, like Tremain, pouring
into their front, flank, and rear, the semi-Seces-
sionists Of the Richmond cabal will be easily cut
to pieces in the grand charge which the People
sill make upon them in November.

.nsrew Sosu.on,. Great speech.

We have issued in a tract of twenty -four pages, the
Iste Union speech Of Andrew johnson Of Tennessee,
delivered in the Senate of the United States on July
q. 1861.
In this speech Mr. johnson shows himself practical
man. relying more upon facts than upon arguments.
He goes by the record, and shows by chapter aud
verse by article and line that the allegation Of the
secesionists and their Northern friends Of the Rich
mond and Cageer school, of any Northern section
ssm' OF any design to infringe upon Southern. Con-
sutional rights is utterly and absurdy false. SO far
from this being true, be shows by documentary evil
dsnce that the grievance Of the South is the existence
of a Republican Government; that they do not mean
to tolerate any Government not in subection to that
interest which finds s model in South Carolina, where
man must have a fee simple in ten Of bis fellow
creatures before be is qualified to be legislator The
times have brought no clearer and no more phiosOpb-
cal statement o. The whole case than this speech Of
the Senator from Tennessee. It's closing appeal for
protection to the loyal men of his own State, whom
be 80 nobly represents should find an answer in the
heart Of every man who loves bis country.
This Tract should be largely circulated among DEM
ocrats who have been deceived by Secession newfpa-
pes, and alean read It with profit.

Considerable anxiety IS felt for news from
Western Virginia, as battle between Gems.
Rosecranz and Lee has been expected for some
time. On Saturday night ROsecranz with his
entire command, numbering, as it is supposed,
about 17,0OO went from Sutton to Camp Smith,
which is situated on Gauley River, near Somer-
vile. On Sunday he was to move on the enemy
Lees force being about 10000. A battle was
expected on Monday, beyond doubt. but up to
this time no news Of an engagement has been re-

however, TO be grati6ed that when Archbshops
speak of lay matters. the members of their own

judgment, aud do not feel themselves bound to

icism upon the recent correspondence between
the Bishop Of Charleston and the Archbishop oil
New-York, in which, while according to the lat
ter tho praise of being a statesman as well as
prelate that Catholic journal does not hesitate
to take exception to some of his positions. Es-
peciaIy does it decline to accept the Arch
bishops statement that the success OF the Repuo'
licans was primarily the cause Of this great re-
belliOn. 1t says:
"The minority the real Disunon party in the South who
supported Mr. Breckenridge are Of the culp in the case

The case is certainly made good as against the
Bishop. The only flaw in the argument is that
The Tablet fails to sec, or at least to say, that
this Southern minority has q living princple-a
determination, never lost sight of for forty years,
to make Slavery the paramount power and in
terest Of the Government, by virtue Of which
those connected with it should always be the
dominant party. and which impelled them long
ago to discard the faith wherein the Fathers OF

sEFoHa IN RECRUITING.

It is gratifying 70 learn that uOder the recent
order of the War Department placing the re-
cruiting service iu this State under the immedi
ate control of the Governor, the work Of organ
zing our forces is going on with greatly increased
yigor. Tho effect has been to stimulate the va.
rious officers engaged in procuring companies
and regiments to unusual exertions to ill up
their commands lest by tagging behind they
should eventually find that their services had,
through necessity, been dispensed with. 1t will
also operate 10 check the dlsgracefm rivalries
which, from lack Of proper control has led
would be colones to bribe subordinate officers
to transfer themselves with their men from one
regiment to another. The disastrous effect of
such scsndaOus procedures was most uuhappiy
Illustrated on Monday night at Willetts
Point, where Captain Cresto. in en-
deayOring TO violently separate himself with bis
men, from Col lie Gendre's command, came into
collision with the guard, was fred upon and two
of bis men killed, several others being severely if
not fatally wounded This disgracefuI bargain
and sale of commands has led to great deal Of
bad blood, and has operated not a little TO dis
gust che men with the volunteer service alto
gether. If the tragic affair at Wllett's Point
should result, under the new order OF things, in
putting stop to thi, practice, it will bo real
service to the State.
Under the system which has sprung up from
the issuing Of provisional commissions By the
War Department to raise regiments in this State,
since the battle of Bull Run, the military power
of New.YOrk has been FILTERED away, Large
numbers of men have been divided among so
many organizations as 10 be of very little ser.
vice. II viii be the duty Of the Governor, and
we doubt not he has already earnestly set about
it, to consolidate these fragmentary bodies under
commanders who are competent to lead them
To such men as come up to the requirements OF
the service he will doubtless extend every as'
sistance in his power to enable them to complete
their regiments while it will be bis duty, as We
believe it is his purpose to dismiss such as nave
entered upon this enterprise from other shao pa
trotic and honorable motives. BY such COURSE
we shall be able to do our duty to the country
