The party conventions In New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vanis and the Western States have all been
floating about in sort of whirlpool trying
to find the bearings which will enable them to
,teer their craft in manner that will secure
IN them the popular breeze and enable them to
suc. 'essfdlly navigate the political waters. In
their midst stands President Johnson, with his
reoruan, cation policy, as firm and as immovable
as the rock of ages. All of these party conven-
lions have zen trying to reach him and draw
their party tut 70 under bis influence and protec-
ton. For SOM, cause or other, they have all
failed, and are no W drifting about among the
breakers The Dem ocrstic Convention in this
State appears to have been wiser and managed
with more skill than aIf the rest. 1t has accom-
plishsd what the others vaicly tried to do-has
taken President johnson on board, and is now
sailing forth under full sail, fair weather, and
glorious prospects ahead. The Maine democ-
rscy came the nearest to accomplishing the feat
Of any other, but through some hitch missed
their mark and left the prize to be won by the
convention y tsis State:

Tan MINNESOTA AND WIscoNsIN RBPUBLI-
cANs.-The republican party in the States Of
Minnesota and Wisconsin have just held their
conventions. In the former State they swal-
lowed the Chase platform, negro suffrage and
all, and directly voted down resolution ap-
proving the administration of President john
son. In Wisconsin there was sharp contest
over universal negro suffrage and the endorse
ment Of the Presidents policy, which finally
resulted in laying the negro resolution on the
table. The action of these conventions reveals
the animus which pervades that party the
country over 1t is further evidence Of the agi-
tating, Jacobin spirit within its ranks, and the
determination to keep the country in turmoil
and excitement for years to come. The Minne-
sofa republican politicians, like the lacobins in
Boston and the republicans in Maine, see SO
much of the negro that they are thoroughly
posted on all subjects bearing upon his treat
ment, and are wiser than the President, who
has practical knowledge of the difficulties
attending the transformation of the colored race
from slaves to citizens. with all the privileges
and duties as such. Their action, with that
of Maine, foreshadows what the public may
expect if the party is generally successful
in the North. It will, in this light, materially
strengthen the democracy in this State, and
force the conservative men of all parties to sup
port the ticket just nominated and the platform
enunciated at Albany as the only safety for the
country; it matters not what the republicans

Goth. Even should the republicans adopt the
same platform, the fact Of the appearance OF
the disorganizing element among the party in
other States will compel all Of those who desire
speedy and amicable settlement of the
country, peace and prosperity in all sections, to
support the ticket nominated ut Albany as the
only safe course for the peace and prosperity
of the nation.
The POLITICIANS AND PRESIDENT JOHNsON's
COAr TAn.-The politicians in the various
States have for some time past been trying to
catch hold of President Johnson's coat tail.
They see him standing forth in bold relief, en-
joying the confidence of the public and every
where endorsed by the massese Each side has
been trying to get hold Of him in order that
il may receive the benefit Of some Of his
popularity The New Jersey republicans tried
it, but failed. The democracy made grab, but
took look backwards and came short of their
coveted prize. The republicans of Pennsyl-
vania made desperate effort TO accomplish
this point, hut had to spend so much time over
the schemes of Cameron and Forney that they

tail. The democracy ached to capture the
prize. but sat down talking over the "cardinai
principles" until the coat tail of Mr.. Johnson
was far out Of their reach, and we dare say will
be rewarded with defeat at the polls. The
Ohio and the Western party managers all made
strong effort, but they too have missed their
mark The Maine democracy came the nearest
to accomplishing the feat: but ii was finally LETT
to the democrats in convention in this Stak. to
win the prize. They have taken full and
strong hold of the tail of President Johnson's
coat, and are now marching under his guidance
and protection, much to the grief of the repub-
lcans, who are mourning over the skilful flank
movement upon them which has, in effect,
finished them in this State. Their organs are
already weeping and mourning over their lost
opportunities.
