We published, yesterday, the resolutions of the
republican state convention of New York. They
are unobjectonable. They are patriotic. They
suit US. II the mass of the republicans OF the
country, repudatng Sumner, Wilson Co are
willing to take the platform of their New York
convention without adding another "plank,'' we
don't why the old''era of good feeling, (Which
passed away nearly fftv years ago, might not be
restored.-LOuisriiie Journal.
Precisely where the difficulty lies is In the
little word if. The majority of the repubh
can party will neither repudiate Sumner, VII
son Il Co. nor take the platform of the New
York convention. Indeed, we are told by no
less authority than Mr. Horace Greeley that
q majority of the New York convention were
against this very platform, and that its adOp
ton was by a tricky management. Sumner,
Wilson Il Co. have the ma Ority of the repub-
lican party with them In their EXTREMIST rad
icansm, which fact conservative republ-
cans should have recognized some time ago.
The line between political parties is as plain
ly marked as it will be hereafter. Ii runs
between those people, led by Sumner, Wilson
d Co. on one side, who are against the restor-
alton of the Union save on the condition of
the complete subjugatiOn and degradation of
the south by the establishment of negro suf
frage. and those people, on the other side, who
sustain President johnson in his policy of
speedy restoration on the simple basis of the
constitution. This is the line which separ-
ates parties to-day, and it is the line which
will separate them next year. and the year
after, and in the presidential election OF 1868.
There is, and there will be no middle ground.
Until the issue shall be settled, it will absor b
all other issues. And affecting the future
of the common country,it Is the most imporl-
ant issue that has ever been presented to the
American people, or, We may almost say any
other people hicagO Times.

The Chicago Republican regrets that Con-
necticut has decided against negro suffrage,
but says it is only postponment, and the
agitation must be kept up until the negro is
placed upon political equality with the
white race.

1T any body supposes that there is no ma
terial difference between tweedledum and
tweedledee. he may herein learn his error
Our Cincinnati dispatches OF yesterday said
CAT Hillsborough yesterday, while Alex. Long
and Mr.. McGnnIs were speaking, Col Pike ask ed
Mr.. McGinnIs If he believed that a state had the
right 10 secede. Mr.. McGInnis replied yes. Col.
PIse then fired pistol at him, and "a Ised table
TO strike him. McGInns then fired, the ball graz
ing Pixies head. Pike then fired the ball striking
NcGInnis in the abdomen, lnficting frghtiul
wsund. The affair has caused much excitement
Our St. Paul dispatches of yesterday said :
''Philosopher Greeley extempOrzed about one
hour and half before the library association last
night, n large audience, on the least and west
He deprecated any hostility between these sec
tiuns advocated protective tariff; said the very
difference between the east and the west were to
their mutual advantage; charged the whole world
and credited New England with originating public
schools; alluded to his famous position that the
union could new er be pinned together with bayu>
nets; SAID he had nothing 20 retract,-It as
true now as when he said It, Whenever any por
ton of tins union were deliberately convinced that
the union oppressive or contrary to their high
est interest, that moment the union was at end;
said it the Pacific states should any time deiIb-
eratety make up their minds to quit the union land
apply peaceably and politely for the privilege, he
would be in favor of letting them go, and was OPP
posed to coercion. These sentiments were feebly
applauded, but this mornings Press knocks the
philosopher slightly over the head for such South
Carolina doctrine. II a democrat had made such
a speech he would have hazarded his personal
safety, but to the 'loyal all things lawful.''
Thus we see that McGinnis was shot in
Ohio by loyal man for asserting what
Greeley on the same day declared before a
loyal audience in Minnesota. If Pike
cares for consistency, he will follow and pis-
tOl the philosopher. He has high precedent,
however, for letting him alone. The gov
eminent, for years. daily arrested and held
in dirty and loathsome prisons democrats for
utteriDg what was daily repeated with impu-
nifty by abolitionists. Pike, in attempting to
murder McGinnis, was acting as fully within
lawful and rigbtful authority as in the ma
iority of cases did those who ordered and
made arrests of "state prisoners"

THE EsQUIMAUx.-The skin of the Mys-
tieetus (t4reenland) whale Is great treat to
the Esq dtmaux, who eat it raw. The "black
skin is thrte-ioulths OF an inch thick, and
looks like 1nola rubber. 1t is good eating in
Its raw stlLe even for white man, as know
nom experience; but when boiled and soused
In yiaegar 1t Is most excellent. Iaterward
saw tie natives eating up the krGng (meatl
OF the whale into such huge slices as their
wives could carry; and as they worked, 50
did they keep eating. Boat load after boat
load OF tais did they send over to the village,
where several deposits were made upon is-
lands in the vicinity. All day long were they
eating; aud thought l, "What monstrous
stomachs mutt those Esquimaux havep Yet
do not thing, on the whole, they eat more
than white men. But t1e quantity taken In
one day -enough t. last Tor several days--is
what astonishes me! They are, in. truth per
culiar people. "God hath made of one blood
all nations OF men 10 dwell on the whole face
OF the earth, and hath determined the times
belors appointed, and the bounds of their
habit dions." Tskethe Esquimaux away
from tue Arctic regioBs-from the shores of
the nol them seas, and they would soon cease
from the face of the earth. The bounds OF
their habitallons are fixed by the Eternal, and
no one can change them. Thus these people
live.
Ny opinion is, that the E:quimaux practice
OF eating the food raw is a good one--at leaet
for the better preservation of their health
To one educated otherwise, as we whites are,
the Esqnimaux custom OF feastng on uncook-
ed meats is highly Iepnlsiye; but eating
meats raw or cooked is entirely mater Of

A RoU0H BED FELLow,-There is good
story going the rounds Of the papers, of man
In Arkansas who had been drinking till late at
night, and then started for home in a stats OF
sweet obliviousness. Upon reaching his own
premises he was too far gone to discover any
door to the domicile he was about to inhabit,
and therefore laid himself down in shed
which was q favorable rendezvous for the hogs.
They happened to go out when the new CON-
er arrived, but soon returned to their bed.
The weather being rather cold, they in the ut
most kindness, and with truest hospitality,
gave their biped companion the middle of the
bed, some lying on either side of him, and
Others acting the part of quilt. Their warmth
prevented him from being injured by expos
ure. Towards morning he awoke. Finding
himself comfortable, in 'blissful ignorance Of
his whereabouts; he supposed himself enjoy
ing the accommodation of tavern, in company
with other gentlemen. He reached out his
hand, and catching hold of the stiff bristles of
a hog, exclaimed: "Hallo, my good friend,
