The Two CANDIDATES FOR STATE GovERNoR-
Both these gentlemen go earnestly for the war,
and in that respect they stand upon the same
footing. Personally we prefer Wadsworth to
Seymour We think he is more outspoken and
more direct in his views than his opponent, who
seeks to attain his object by indirection. Bat
wadsworth's ideas about slavery are fanatical
and absurd He thinks the abolition Of slavery
would put down the rebellion. Nothing can be
farther from common sense. II would, as Mr.
Lincoln declared, have no more effect upon the
rebellion than the Pope's bull against the comet
Mr.. Wadsworth says that the proclamation will
not produce servile insurrection. Consequently
it cannot give any aid in putting down the rebel
lion. The rebellion must be first put down
before the government has any power to dispose
of slavery in the rebellious States; and after the
insurrection is put down the government will
have nothing further to do with the business.
We will then have constitution, and that will
settle it. Till the rebellion is crushed by the
sword IL is idle to talk of what is to be done
with slavery. Let us do one thing at q
time. Mr.. wadsworth has discovered that by
preventing the slaves from working for the
rebels we will use them up. Very true, pro
yided we can prevent them. But to do so W,
must arst conquer the rebels. Mr.. WalsworAh

GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY
The organs Of Wadsworth and the radicals in
this city are at length compelled to admit
that Seymour is not traitor; but they say that
they "have a right to hold his supporters re-
sponsible for the tendency and effect of their
political action" and that they intend to exer-
else it; for that "in heart" the Seymour men
are "both rebels and traitors" The democrats
and other conservatives who are supporters of
Seymour probably number 100000. AS they
are rebels and traitors, they ought to be every
man arrested and thrown into the various pri-
sons, and the worst of them hanged, before they
do any more mischief. If they are left at large
they may elect Seymour, and that, it is con-
tended, will ''give aid and comfort to the re-
belIon." By all means let them be disposed
of before they make the rebellion successful.
We had supposed that the democrats of this
city gave two-thirds of the money that afforded
aid and comfort to the government in the be-
ginning of this struggle, and that two-thirds Of
the troops from this State fighting in the army
are democrats. Are they too traitorss We pause
for o reply.

HAVE THE ARMY RIGHT TO voTE IN THE
COMING ELECTION There is q strong feeling in
the army that the soldiers have right to vote
in the ensuing election. They naturally ask,
why should they be deprived of their votes for
their patriotic devotion in fighting the battles
Of the Union, while men at home, who would
not risk their lives in the cause, may, by their
votes, overthrow the very principles for which
the patriot soldiers are shedding their blood?
The State Legislatures ought to have given the
necessary authority. In the Southern States the
soldiers have been permitted to vote at the
elections. Why not in the Northt II the con-
stitution ought to be suspended for anything, it
Is in this case, and some provision ought to be
made whereby our troops may vote upon the
vital questions now pending, which affect the
aeatinias of the country.

THuRLow WEED ABOUT TO SHUT UP SINP.-
1t is said that Thurlow Weed, having been
completely defeated by Greeley in the nomins-
and the political firm of Seward Weed and
Company will then retire from business. Thur
low Weed has accumulated about three hun
dred thousand dollars by lobbying, by five per
cent commissions and by political brokerage
generally, and will relinquish his connection
with the Albany Euening Journal and come
down to New York to try his hand at stock
speculations in Wall street. Mr.. Weed had
much better invest his money safely, buy cot
tage in the country, turn rural philosopher,
raise his own cucumbers and cabbages, keep
cow and few pigs, write letters to the agri-
cultural papers, go to bed early, rise at cock
crow, drink water with a little milk in it, live
long and die happy. Sharp rs he is, he will be
only country boy in comparison with our
Wall street fnanciers, if he tries his luck here,
and they will cheat him out of his little savings
take lien on his life insurance policy, and send
him back to Albany broken in fortune and in
hope. Rural felicity is the thing for Thurlow
Weed now.
This shutting up shop is not to relieve poor
Greeley of all embarrassment, however, nor
does it secure to him the undisputed control of
the republican party in this State. Mr. Charles
A. Dana, poor Greeley's former associate on the
Tribune, will purchase Mr.. Weeds interest, and
take his place on the Albany Evening Journal
II will be remembered that Mr. Dana, after be-
ing the managing editor Of the Tribune under
Greeley for many years, was unceremoniously
kicked off because he would not consent to 60
into the gun contract and gun making business
to which the Tribune was prostituted by
Greeley, Snow, Almy and the other members
of the association. 1t is not likely that Dana
has either forgotten or forgiven the hypocritcal
conduct Of poor Greeley in voting for his ex
pulsion, while vowing to him the most ardent
friendship confidence and esteem; and it is
more than likely that Dana will use his intimate
knowledge of Greeley's habits, conduct, in
trgues and hypocricies to give point and
piquancy to the Evening Journal. Wilkeson
played this same game when he left Thurlow
Weed, joined the Tribune corps and became the
Artful Dodger of Jew Fagin Greeley; and as
Greeley approved Of Wilkeson's proceedings he
can hardly object to Dana's revelations No
one, unless it be ourself, knows Greeley better
than Dana does, and he can endorse everything
we have ever said of the Spruce street philoso
pher. The quarrel will be very pretty one
when it is once fairly begun, and probably be-
fore it is concluded Dana and Greeley, like the
Kilkenny cats, will completely destroy each
other
