The PRESIDENT AND THE DEMO CRATIC
PARTY-There is not the slightest ground for
the expectation that there will be any mate
rial disagreement between the President and
the Union party in Congress in their final
views. There never was a wilder chimera
than the fancy of the Chicago Platform party
that the President will turn to them for help
There is no necessity about him that can
call forit; no spirit in him that could en-
dure it.
If this party choose to profess confidence
now in the man whose public action during
the war it stigmatized without stint, nobody
will complain. The act would rather give
pleasure, as stending to reopen the soul of the
party to something of his spirit. But this
claiming to be his special body guard, his par
ticular defenders, against the designs and de-
vices of that grand political organization which
struggled with him for the saving of the conn-
try, and through which he has derived all his
power, is presumption that can only excite
his disdain and general derision. ae D..

Republican State Convention in New
York


SYRACUSE, Sept. 90 evening.-Ward
Hunt, of Oneida, and John H. Porter, of AL
bany, were nominated for Judges of the Court
of Appeals by reclamation. Thomas H. Hill
house, of Ontario, nominated for Comptroller;
Col. Rowland, of Duchess, nominated for
Treasurer
AT the evening session the following nom
nations were made: Attorney General, Gen
eral James H. Martindale. Surveyor General,
j. Platt Goodsell Canal Commissioner, Rob-
ert c. Dorm, of Schenectady State Prison
Inspectors General Barnum, of Onondagna.
Clerk of court of Appeals, Henry Jones, OF
Cattasaqua. 55s
Henry j. Raynold reported, from the Com
mttee on the Resolutions, series congraulating
the people on the overthrown of the rebellion,
the return of peace, the preservation of the
Union, and the extirpation of slavery, and re-
turning thanks to the soldiers and sailors, de-
ploring the death by assassination of President
Lincoln, and recognizing in Andrew johnson
statesman of ability, experience, heightened
patriotism and unsullied integrity, and renew
ing to his Administration assurances of cordial
support; approving his sentiments of kindness
and confidence towards those communities
the perpetuation of the Union and perpetual
prohibition of slavery, and approving his initial
steps towards reconstruction; regarding the
several States in the Union as having jurisdic-
ton over all local and domestic affairs eapecil-
ly reserved to them by the Constitution, and,
whenever it shall be deemed compatible with
public safety, to restore to the States lately in
rebellion the renewed exercise of those rights,
we trust it will be done in the faith and on
the basis that they exercised in spirit of equal
and impartial Justice, and with a view to ele-
vate and perpetuate the citizenship of all the
people.
The resolutions express full confidence in
the restoration by the Government and civil
tribunals to their just and national suprema-
cy, recognizing the national debt as a sacred
obligation, and demanding of Congress legis-
lation making taxation equal and impartial
upon all classes; endorsing the determination
Of the Government to assume no portion of
the rebel debt; expecting at the hands of the
Government large reduction of expenditures
and a wise and economical administration of
public affairs; expressing confidence in the
Presidents management of foreign affairs and
adhering to the Monroe doctrine; rendering
congratulations to Mr. Seward on his provi-
Dental escape, and rejoicing that his services
are still continued to the country.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted
with others endorsing the the official conduct
of Secretary of State Depew, in the census
enumeration, and rendering thanks to the able
men who sustained the cause Of American ma
tionalty in England, and mourning the deatl
of Golden, &c.

The Republican press of Wisconsin are out
in full cry against President johnson, and the
action of their recent State Convention in
tmidly sustaining his measures. Among the
papers at hand which take this ground are the
Milwaukee Sentinel, Baraboo Republic, the
Monroe Sentinel, the Northeastern, and Fond
du Lac Commonwealth. More than two-thirds
of the Republican papers in that State are in
open revolt against the Presidents plan of
restoration The boiling Convention at James
vile threatens to be an important body, and
may be the initial step to the formation of a
national radical party.

AID TO FREEDMEN The Freedmen's En-

AID TO FREEDMEN The Freedmens En-
ployment Agency has been officially instruct
ed that in discussing supplies to freedmen in
the District of Columbia discrimination be
particularly made between the dependent and
those who are natives or residents, in order
that the latter may be required to look to
the proper municipal authorities for aid. The
action seems to have become necessary, in con-
sequence of the large number of negroes who
appear to think they are entitled to Govern
ment supplies.
