heads SIM she0.

We publish, side by side, in another column,
the platforms adopted by the recent Republican
State Convention at Syracuse and the Demo
cratic State Convention at Albany. We desire
all Of our readers to peruse them attentively,
for they mark significant err in the political
history Of these times. They are, in fact, the
official evidences Of great conservative vic
tory in this State, and we rejoice over i almost
as heartily as though it were victory of our
armies over the rebels. Practically, indeed, it
is victory over the rebels; for it IL decisive
defeat Of both those factions at the North which
have been the political allies Of JEFF. Davis and
have given him much aid and comfort by di-
viding the North and uniting the South. Let
us then turn for few moments from the con-
sideration Of the military operations at Charles
ton and in Tennessee and take glance at the
important features Of the political campaign.
A careful and unpreiudiced comparison Of
the two platforms will show that they are al.
most precisely identical. The difference be-
tween them Is the difference between twcedle
DUN and tweedledee. There is not single
niggerheod plank in the one nor copperhead

conservative. They both return thanks TO our
brave soldiers who are now risking their lives
in defence Of tho Union. They both pledge
their supporters to sustain the government and
the administration in all necessary measures
| for the suppression Of the rebellion. They
both express the desire Of the people of the
North for an honorable peace. They both op-
pose disunion and maintain the integrity OF the
nation. Upon all OF these great, vital issues
they are singularly unanimous. The differences
between them are but few, and may be very
briefly stated. The republican platform culo.
gizes President Lincoln, while the democratic
platform eulogizes Gov. Seymour. This IL
mere matter Of party discipline, and is compare.
lively unimportant. Then the democratic plat
form criticses and condemns the odious Eman.
clpation, Con6scation, Conscripsiop and Indem.

out Of the responsibility Of these outrageous
measures, and only endorses the Emancipation

GRUNBLiSos From Born SQuAps or RADI-
cMs.-Poor Horc. Greeley and Ben Wood,
the representatives Of the niggerhead and cop.
perhead factions, appear equally discontented
with the actions Of the Syracuse and Albany
Conventions. Poor Horc. Greeley Is so en-
ragged at finding himself asd all his pet mea-
sures thrown overheard at Syracuse, aud a con
scrvative platform adopted by the democrats at
Albany also, that be turns around aud furious
ly attacks poor little Jimmy Brooks. Well, we
do not know bot that this Is a wise course.
Jimmy Brooks is safe man to attack; for hs,
does not amount to anything. knows nothing,
aud has no friends. Az for Ben Wood. he takes
the democratic platform as Pistol ate the bitter
leek, swearing as he gulps II down The demo-
cratic party stands over him, like Fluellen and
says, In Shaksperc's words:-"I beseech you
heartily, scurvy lousy knave, at my desires, and
my requests, and my petitions, to eat, look you,
this lesk; because, look you, you do not love
II, nor your affections, and your appetites, and
your dlgestions, does not agree with Il, would
desire you to eat IT," So poor Ben wsod
erumbles and eats. but resolves, like man
who has bought lottery ticket and drawn .
blank, TO W again some other time.
