inst, promises to be large and a hctcro-
gencous gathering, and whatever may come
Of it no good is BODIED TO the interests OF
the President, who is going to hold CON
vention Of his own at Baltimore and who
will there tender himself nomination for
reelection through delegates whom he has
bought and paid for. Everything for the
Baltimore Convection is 'cut and dried. -
Everything will be regular =" And every
thing will 90 off like clock work But at
Cleveland things will be mixed very much
There are now out not less than three and
probably as many as half dozen calls for
the convention of the 3lst The original
Fremont call which appeared i'll the .f,s
Nation, cmanated from the Western Radi
cal and German element, and the list of sig
natures was headed by L. s. Senator Gratz
Brown Of Missouri This call is also un
derstood to represent the views of a large
Congressional clique who for the present
stand in the back ground
The next call is put forth by the brothers
and sisters who consort with Wendell Phil
lips, Geo. Thompson, Fred. Douglass. Su
san b. Anthony, Mrs. Z. Cady Stanton & C.
The third call of importance is that tele.
graphed from Albany a few days ago. |,
is a blast from the Republican State officers
and stirs up a terrible commotion among
the Wccd-Lincoln faction. Il is signed BY
Comptroller Robinson. Attorney General
Cochrane, Canal Appraiser Thos. b. Car
roll, Geo. W. Demers, Of the Secretary OF
States office, (the same who introduced and
carried through the resolution endorsing
the emancipation proclamation at the last
N. Y. Republican State Convention Fran
els Il. Fine Of the Comptroller's Office, &c.
Mr.. Weeds temper is ruflled by the ap-
pearance Of these signatures attached to the
call, and the Ecening .t~rnM declares the
purpose of it to be to afford aid and com.
ford to the Democracy" and saws:
II is of course, every mans right to
choose such political associations as he
tachcd to this call which to change theirs.
no one would object if they would do SO in
a manly way.
1t would he doubted, however. whether
gentlemen holding Office under one political
organization, can honorably pass over TO
another, without at the same time rcsicninp
their commissions. But even this is mat.
ter Of taste
There is as much Specification in the
Wording of the call, as in the call itself
The Aryus might, with perfect propriety,
adopt it rs an editorial paragraph in dcnun-
Cation Of arbitrary arrests" State
rights, Integrity and economy in the adj
ministration of the government" &c. For
IS mere condensed reiteration OF what
that and other copl'erhcad Journals have
been preaching these two years
The object Of this Observation-Disclosures
seen by al, who have signed the call or not
lis to take over small fragment of the
Union party to the Democracy. 1t may be
succe -sful; but the fragment will be so
small that it will do the Union party no
harm and the Democratic party as little
good.
Inc extent OF this detection in the Union
ranks can he measured by the names at
tached to this call While there are diff.
ferences of opinion as to who should he
nominated by the Baltimore Convention.
there is entire unanimity as to the proprie-
ty of holding that Convention; and they
cannot be true to the Union organization
who repudiate the action of its recognized
representatives.
Not satisfied with this slap at the signcrs,
and with affecting to measure the extent
OF the detection" BY its slur upon Messrs
Robinson ard Cochrane. the two leading
candidates on the Republican State ticket
elected last fall, the journal of Thursday
returned to the attack, singing out Gen
John Cochranc, and quoted Burnside's "a
NOUS Order No. 8, relieving Cochrane from
duty. "
Pleasant state of things this among our
politically separated brethren!
