/" A few days ago the, so-called, Demo
Gratis Of New York had ratification meet
J. ing over the nomination Of Seymour for
: Governor. Speeches we're made BY Sey-
mour, and John Van Buren,, declaratory
of the policy Of their party in which Van
Buren, was 50 elated that he made
"clean breast" as to their sympathy with
their Southern "brethren. 1t Was here
tofore supposed that these hsrd,shel'
Democrats were disposed to give aid and
comfort to the rebels, but now, thanks to
the open mouth of Van Burep, We have
the policy of t. ese leaders clearly deha-
ed, which will open the eyes Of the loyal
rank aud file, in the party, as to their
designs. Their cbarg Of inefficiency
against the Administration and pledges
to stand by Mcclellan whether or DO, is
an iucongruity which none but an hard
shell could explain. For is well known
that. the President has been urging Nc.
Clellsn to more activity continually for
the past year and has only kept him aud
other Democratic Generals, Of like slug.
ishness. 10 command because when it was
known that the President was about to
remove them, these same partisans con-
trived to bring an outside pressure to de-
feat the righteous intent, by asserting
that the army was in favor Of this gener.
al, and that all that was wanting was au-
other opportunity aud Mcclellan would
certainly show himself 10 earnest in sup.
pressing the rebellion.
Unfortunately too many Department
Generals have been of the class that these
partis0ns could Influence to be political
generals for the benefit of party at the
expense of our country. Notwlthstsnd
ing Mcclellan and Buell. have had spcn-
did armies and the Governm ent has G iven
Them every necessary assistance when
they have called for them. Yet it sa
fact that they have only kept within the
letter of their instructions, neglecting
all effective action that would be in &C
cordancs with the spirit Of them by
the disclosures of these New York poll
ticisns of their frsternal feeling for these
do-no.hing generals, 1t is evident who
should be held responsible for protract-
ing the war and saddlpg an Increased
debt on the country. /
Major Key, who was dismissed the
service by the President some days ago
for asserting ",hat it was not the policy
to cripple the rebels too much, but ra,h-
er to proloug the war until both sides
were ready to compromise and thus save
slavery" give further proof of the de.
signs of this clique to play into the
hands Of the rebels, and the President,
II his prompt action 10 removing this
officer, showed that the Administration
have no sympathy with the preachers of
such doctrine.
We do no. think that many Of the .
Demo rats elected to Congress in Ohio |
or Indiana are Of the same stripe with
these leaders Of the Democratic wing in
New York. At any rate they could not
have been elected by an avowa of any
such doctrines, but obtained votes on
pledges that they were in favor and would
support an earnest prosecution of the
war to suppress the rebellion.
All loyal men are gratifed at the re,
suit of the election in your loyal State
We feel satisfied, by what We hear of the
result Of the election, that Iowa is truly
IN earnest IN supporting the Admins
tration and preserving the Union, and
thatyou place country before party.
We hear every day or two of indca
tons of an advance by the army Of the
Potomac, but these reports and promises
We had year ago and We are beginning
to be" faithless All are satisfied what
should be done by our Cnion armies dur.
ing this fine weather and fue roads, but
who can tell what Mcclellan will do
/ There is great strife among the show.
men In this city-amopg whom is the
great Snowman, Barnum, who, of course,
makes every thing pay in that line
Theatres, circuses, hospitals, aud Govern

here this year. All are doing well, ex.

generalship displayed in their manage

Somebody wrote to the editor of the
Bucy,us journal letter of inquiry as
to billiards, to whom the editor replied
as follows: eyes, sir, we can tell you all
about billiards. 1t is a game consisting
of two men in their shirt sleeves, punch
