The EMPIRE STATE MAINTAINS IT'S SCEPTRE.-
The State of New York has furnished remark
able lesson to the whole country in abolishing
all parties, and going with oil its strength, its
greatness and its political prestige in support
of President Johnson and his statesmanlike
policy. 1t is only BETTING the position which
this State occupies that it should be so. Being
the first State in the Union, commercially and
intellectually-the centre from which radiates
the paramount spirit of the country, Its enter
prise, refinement, wealth and power-it is ma
tural and proper that it should lead the van in
the magnanim0us movement Of reconstruc-
ton, knowing no parties or interests that do
not belong to the whole country. In compare
son with New York the other States, which
hang on the outer edge Of civilization, are be-
midland, benighted as it were, clinging to
their old factious instincts, and holding on to
the landmarks of petty parties that are almost
extinct While these States continue to en-
broil themselves in little factious fights, and to
bubble about questions that, in view Of the
great work before us, are effete as well as con-
temptible, the Empire State, in the action of
the two recent conventions at Albany and
Syracuse, has given proof that the broad and
liberal spirit which conducted II to commercial
prosperity aud a high order Of civilization pre-
walls also in its political councils.

reap the benefit Of these In partisan victories;
but the advantage of the change is all with the
people, who see honorable men put In the
places hitherto seized and monopolized by
trlcksters, and who see in this the inevitable
overthrow of all our corrupt political systems.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1865-09-22

Parties ON the same Platform.
The republicans of the Empire State have
had their convention and have placed their
State ticket and platform before the people for
the November election. Their ticket, like that
of the democrats, is an army ticket, and their
platform, evading the question Of negro SUI
frage, is but an application Of that of John
B. Haskin, which marks the new departure of
the democracy. Both parties believe in Andy
johnson, and both cordially support his
Southern restoration policy. We 60, say the
democrats, for our brave soldiers; we go for
the restoration of the Southern States, and of
civil authority everywhere, as fast as possible;
we go for Andy johnson; we go for equal taxes
and the payment of the national debt; we 60
for the Monroe doctrine and we recognize the
abolition of slavery. The republicans respond,
All this is our property:-And Syracuse does
its best to out-thunder Albany with the same
thunder.
With both parties thus occupying substan-
tally the same ground there lie little or nothing
to fight over in this fall campaignin New York.
AS in 1920, under Monroe, we we're "all re-
publicans and all federalists," 30 in 1865,
under Johnson, we are all republicans and all
democrats upon national issues, at least in the
great State of New York. The republicans
have the advantage IN the occupation Of the
State. They have carried it, we believe, in
every election since 1856, excepting the cleo
ton of 1862, in which the success Of the demo-
cracy gave them grand opportunity to make
sure Of the Presidential election Of 1864, which
they threw away. Abandoning the strong war
platform upon which Seymour was elected, he
and they drifted after their copperhead peace
atany-price leaders, and persisted in following
them until the voice Of the nation against the
Chicago peace platform brought the honest
men of the party 10 their senses.
Thus IL has turned out that in New York
these pernicious copperhead leaders have been
cast adrift, and that the democracy have adj
vanced to the solid and popular platform Of
President Johnson's administration. In the
same way tho disorganizing abolition radicals
have been rejected from the councils Of the
republican party and thus copperheads and
radicals have alike become powerless for mis-
chief. However our State election may go in
November, President Johnson's course will be
endorsed. The advantages Of occupation and
the probabilities are in favor Of the republi.
cans; but the State Ii close, and the results We
shall consider uncertain until we shall have
heard from the Pennsylvania and Ohio October
elections. The democrats In those States are

South than all the hollow preteasions the
democrats can make in thousand pistforms,
with Sam Tilden at their head and Johnny
Green at their tail. Besides, all true and in
fuential men in the democratic party in this
State, including it's substantial conservative
element, it is expected will drop the old demo-
cracy and fall into line with their Southern
friends in giving aid, strength and intensity to
the new party of all parties that is destined to
govern this country, with President johnson as
its leader and champion, for many years to
come. Prepare, then, we say to all old politi-
clans, to make way for the new and magnificent
party of the future.

oUTRAGEs By THE MnIAEH.-The attention of
our readers is invited to O6muDication bur
paper to day, over the signature of Ssner" 1t is
from the pen Of Daniel B. Baker, Esq, venerable
and most worthy citizen of New Hanover County
This communication was originally intended for the
Conservative of this City, and was sent to that pa
per by Mr.. Baker with q request for publication.
The Editor Of the Conservative refused to publish
it. and it was then delivered to Daniel L. Russell,
Jr, Esq, Of Brunswick, who enclosed it to US from
GoldsbOrough, with request from Mr.. Baker and
himself that We should lay it before the public. We
comply very cheerfully with this request
, The refusal Of the Conisrvdtive to publish this
communication furnishes additional evidence of the
hostility Of that paper to civil liberty and of the
disposition of Gov. Vance to screen those military
men who are in, the habit of traupling on the
rights, Of our citizenS 1t is our opinion that
Ssnez was submitted to Gov. Vance, and that he
advised the Editor not to publish it g. five are
mistaken in this opinion the Conssrpatiss can say
so. Instead of exposing such outrages, and en-
deavOring to prevent them in future the COnssrrG.
tive by refusing to let them be known through its
columns, actually makes itself party to them. It
is either not disposed to speak, it is afraid to
speak out in defence of the principles Of civil lib
crty and the laws Of the land If all the newspa.

We publish to day the proclamation of Gov.
Vance, urging the people to continued resistance to
the federal armies and portrayng the evils as they
appear to him, of restoration of the federal Union.
We publish this document as = small part of the
history Of the times, being also willing that our
readers should have an opportunity to peruse and
form their own judgments in relation to It The
Governor appears to feel what he says The docu.
nent is not destitute Of . certain species of rude
Sioquencs, which characterizes nearly all of Gov.
Vancs's State papers; but though we may accord
to the Governor sincerity Of purpose and some vigor
in the use Of language, We regret we cannot add
that he is truthful or accurate in bis statements-
disregard of truth appears to be prominent :sa-
eure in the craftsmanship Of the day. Too many
Of orr public men substitute exclamation for argu.
ment, and inpassioned invective for calm statement
and philosophie deduction. Truth is distorted. bad
passions are inAamed and the bleeding wounds of
the country instead of being healed by the gentle
touches of moderation and charity, are torn open
afresh by the rude fingers Of anger and Vengeance
The fact is now apparent that the destroyers of our
former fabric Of government and their modern as
sociates like Gov. Vance are not fitted either by
training, experience or temper for the great work
Of preserving or building up.
= If proclAmations could have defeated our enc
mics, they would long since have retired with
trailing banners before the State papers of this
kind launched at their heads by Governors Brown,
Nagrath, and Vance. We can only hope that Gov.
Vance will be more successful than Governors
Brown and Msgrath in rallying his countrymen.-
The Governor has thousands Friends in the State
many Of whom are enjoying bomb proof exemptions
at his hands; and all of these friends Of his, who
voted the yellow ticket last August, and who have
been constantly Boosting until recently of their de-
termination to repair to the field whenever their
services were needed, are now called upon by him,
in the most earnest TERMS to redeem their pied ges
