iSter public aflAirA Their blood, their battles
and their Victories were all in vain If we are
| 70 drop back into the old order Of things and
drift into another war under the old political
leaders, upon some other question es intrinsi-
cslly frivolous a. that of State rights. One mill
lion and half Of veteran soldiers and sailors
form the capital of the new party which Is TO
govern the country. These mon are now at
home or coming home, and they should be or
| ganized without delay.
In every village, town, township, CITY, county
and State throughout the land, we call upon
our citizen soldiers and sailors to meet and
effect an immediate organization. From this
call none who have served the country, ia the
field or on the water, during the recent war are
excepted. Three, six and nine months men,
one, two and three years men, volunteers and
consoripts, regulars and irregulafs, militia and
marines, landsmen and old salts-all will be
welcome. Let them elect their own officers,
and, If they choose their old officers, to lead
them. Then, when general election comes
round, let them select and support their own
candidates. All the good and true men Of
the democratic and republican parties viii
Join with them and assist them, and all the pro-
fessionsl politicians must be ordered to stand
aside. The movement ought to originate in
this city, where the largest number Of citizen
soldiers are gathered. At the next election
they can put down and completely annihilate
the cOpperhead faction in Tammany Hall, the
copperheads in Mozart Hall, the Gunther cop.
perheads in the City Hall, the Canada fund
copperheads ON Seymour's political staff, the
jobben of the Citizens Association, the repu-
dating radical republicans and the conserya-
tive republican Office brokers and contractors
In doing this the citizen soldiers and sailors
will be obliterating the last vestiges Of the re-
bellion which they have 80 nobly subdued, and
they will also inaugurate great political revo-
luton.
GAY AND THE GANG or THH TRBUNE-Mr.
Gay, Of the Tribune, in letter published by
us yesterday, attempts to explain away the
connection between the Tribune, by its cor
respondent Conover, and the rebel agents in
Canada. That there was some association be-
tween, the Tribune and those Canada agents
seemed possible from the course taken on GER
tain important questions by the Tr;bsne; and
the recent disclosures in the trial ut Washing
ton have shown to the public the agent in this
association. We indicated what further facts it
would be satisfactory TO the public to have;
and Mr.. Gay seems 10 consider that he has
given an answer. His answer Ia ingenious. but
insufficient. II il little piece Of special
pleading, that goes aside and does not meet
the case at all.
How deep has Gay and his gang of the
Tribune been in this collnsiOn with Sanders,
Clay, CIeary, Holcosnbe and Jake Thompson?
They have been 80 mixed up with those fellows,
in one way or another, that they cannot escape
the consequences Of their folly. They must
answer, or ought 10 be made to answer on the
witness stand in Washington. II seems that
The history of the explosion at City Point is
considered a material point in the testimony
taken al Washington. Would not the history of
the peace negotiations at Niagara he
quite rs material? What is The secret
history Of that affair, in which the
men Of the Tribune gang were the active
agents on one side aud the Canada rebels
on the other, and where Horace Greeley was
The dupe OF both. Greeley was duped into
their measures by the gang and by Sanders
and Jewett. because he could get the consent
Of the President 10 treat: aud so, under the
cover Of law, these plotters could carry on
their neisrous schemes in safety. Greeley got
he necessary consent, and was INDUCED in
hat In no
lures; bat President Lincoln. who saw the
trickery behind all. put his foo! down at the
proper time and smashed the game.
All the way through the Tribune gang has
made dupe Of Greeley, and il is thus thai.
however patriotic Mr.. Greeley may personally
be, the Tribune has been weak in me knees
an well ms weak in the back from the begin
ming Of the WAT. First il wanted to let the
seeding States GO. Then, over and over IL
urged that we should give up the fight and
arrange some shameful compromise; and Mt
last Greeley WAS induced to plead that Prosi-
dent Lincoln should beg peace Of Davis,
when we had four hundred thousand men un-
der arms. Now, how far in The following ont
Of their alliance with the Canada rebels did
the Tribune gang go in this very matter in
relation to which the Tribune correspondent
has testified That il what we want to know
