STATE CONVENTION.

The Republicans Of this State, with oil who
of tie War for the Union on the basis OF the
principles prOpounded in the majority Leglsls-
tive Address of last April will be represented
in State Convention which assemblies at
Syracuse on Wednesday of this week. As each
Assembly District is entitled TO send three
delegates, the Convention viii consist Of be-
tween $50 and 400 members.
Much interest attaches to the choice Of o
form on which he is TO be supported. Ii is
understood that the name Of Gov. MORGAN
will be submitted to the Convention by some
OF his friends for a third term. The fact that
10 Governor since Marcy has been twice re-
elected and none but Cows Seward and Nor
Gan but once, Cows. Bouck. Wright. Young
Hunt, Seymour, Clark and King, having been
each elected but once-wil weigh against
,econd denomination. The name ii Gen DIX
has been suggested for his successor; but, since
Gen. DIX has not been suggested aud could not
now be accepted as Union candidate by tae
party lie has uniformly supported, it is net
probable tIat be will be taken up by that
which lie has steadily opposed.
Hon. REUBEN Il. FENTOS, three elected to
Congress and now member from the Chautau-
qua District, will certainly be proposed Mr.
Fenton was frat elected as 4 Democrat, but OPP
posed tho Nebraska bill and the entire scheme for
enslayiDg Kansas from the outset, and has been
Republican since the organization Of the
party.
/ Hon. JAMES N. Cook (ate Bank Superin-
tondent aud fornerlya leading Senator from the
Saratoga District) has friends who will submit
hs name if The prospect is deemed favorable.
Mr.. Cook was formerly Whig but has OF late
been consistent and energetic Republican.
The name Of Gen. JAMES S. WADswoRTB
of Ceneseo (now Military Governor Of Wash
il gion City, viii be presented by many thor
oUih Republicans, under conviction that bic
Wcll-huOwn ability Independence and fearless
coald be nominated. Gen. Wadswoth was
formerly Democrat, but always for Free Labor
and Free Soil, having zealou'ly supported Van
Buren and Adams in 1913, and having been a
Republican ever since there was any such par
ty. We do not know that lie has ever yet been
candidate for Office. When the war broke out,
Gov. Morgan named him for one of two Ma
jor-Generals from our State, but tho Govern
ment accepted out one, and Gen. Dix was pre-
ferred. Dir. WadswOrth entered tho Volunteer
Army for any service, was made an Aid to
Gen. Mcdowell, and shared in the Bull Run
disaster. He was soon after made Brgadier
and as such served in the front VI our lines OPP
posite Centreyile during the last gloomy Win
ter, steadily insisting that there were not
more than Fifty Thousand Rebels there, and
that our Army would walk right over
them if Gen. Mcclellan would only say the
word. 1t is now known that Gen. Wadsworth
WAS entirely right as to the strength of the
enemy, and that Gen. Mcclellan was depora-
bly, msled. In April, Gen. W. was made Nil.
itary Governor of Washington, and has since
been terror TO slave-hunters and other sneak
ing traitors in that locality. Though not de-
string to be presented, Gen. Wadsworth will
not decline hOiiilnatlO1 ii ~ ShOuio DC pahtu
distinctly unequivocslly, on recognition Of
the truth that Slavery is the real and impaca.
be enemy Of our National life, and that The
Union can only be saved by graphing directly
and boldly with its deadly foe. If compro-
missing policy is to be adopted and commended,
Gen. Wadsworth will not be candidate.
