Politics In NeW bSfks
The Republicans Of New York hav
completed the necessary steps for COT
dncting the approaching political can
paign in that State, on strictly partisa
grounds. A Republican legislative cav
cus Vas held on the night Of the 18th, =
which platform and address we're agrees
on, and call for a State convention IL
sued.
Those who united with the New Yorl
Repahlicans, at the late November cleo
tiea, under the specioaa pretsnse that
theraaffer, party organisation and party
issuss we're to be sacrificed for the goo(
of the country, are thus left to seek such
association for the future a. inclination
and q sense Of duty may dictate.
What effect the unceremonious ma mel
in which the Republicans have cut thei,
acquaintance, will have upon them re.
mains to be seen Gagett's Constitatios
The Albany Eevening Journal gives :
very different account Of the matter, and
We should infer far more reliable: thus
Legislative Oaucus.- Aa rmsaisus
Acttsn.
The Republican and Union Democratic
members Of the Legislature met in Caucus
last evening, and cordially united in A
Address and Resolutions, to Be signed
and hereafter published. The Address is
able, sound and patriotic. 1t Is lucid
expedition of the Platform and Policy OF
the Republican party, while. it is ia
entire harmony with the views and ex-
pressed principles Of the loyal Democrats
who love their Country more than their
party, and who have stood BY the Admit
nistration in all its patriotic efforts to
subdue rebellion and restore the Union
The resolutions psrtake Of the spirit Of
the address; and both we're unanimously
adopted. When published they viii, we
have no doubt, be equally unanimously
and cordially approved By the loyal peo-
pie Of the State.
One Of the resolutions contemplates =
State Convention. 1t is as follows:
Resolved, That, for the purpose of car
rying into effect, At the coming election,
the principles and policy thus set forth,
we recommend that State Convention
b. held for the nomination OF State OIL
GERS to be supported It the election next
fall that all Republicans, Union Demo-
Gratis and other loyal citizens, supporters
Of the policy of the Administration, and
responding TO the principles and policy
set forth in the address and resolutions
herewith submitted, be invited to unite in
the siection Of three Delegates from each
Assembly District to snch Convention !;
and that the following persons be APP
pointed Committee TO designate latter
proper deliberstion and consultation with
the COMMITTEES Of any organization Of this
State whose cooperation we hope to OBJ
tain) the time and place of holding 1t,
and to arrange such other preliminary de-.
tails as may be necessary, viz.
FIRST DfsrRrCT--E. j. Brown and NJ
H. Grinnell, New York.
SECOND DIsTRIcT-J. s. T. Strauahan
Kings, and E. n. Madden, Orange,
THIRD DIsrR1cT--C. v. r. Ludding.
ton. Sullivan, and Lyman Tremaine, Al
bany.
FOURTH DIsrlcr Edward Dodd, Wash.
ington, and r. w. Judson, St. Lawrence.
FIFTH Observation-Disclosures Campbell,
Jefferson, and Alonzo Wood, Onondaga
Sixth DIsTRIcr-Wm. =. Lincoln

SEVENTH DIsrRIct-James c. Smith
Ontario, and VIM. s. Bonham, Steuben
ElaHTH D1srRIcT-H Henry W. Rogers
Erie, and Thos. F. Flagler, Niagara.
By this action, which looks Gas wa,
distinctly avowed in the caucus to con
s,ltation and cooperation with the Re
publican State Committee, there need b,
but single State Convention. The Re
publican party will continue, in the futur,
as IN the past, the nucleus around which
oil loyal men can gather; and, thus com
pacted: New York will be held in he
present proud position among the patri
otic States Of the Union.
