ing. State Senator Charles J. Folger was
chosen temporary chairman and Hon
Chauncey NJ. Depew, permanent residing
officer Each gentleman on taking the
chair addressed the assemblage. After
the transaction of considerable prelimi-
nary business, the nomination of candi
dates for States offices was proceeded
with, and resulted in the choice of Gene
raj Francis g.. Barlow, for Secretary Of
State, against Gen. Fl w. Slocum, non1i-
mated by the Democracy at Albany. The
other nominations it is unnecessary to
mention. The republicans haze made
an advance in the military element OF
their ticket over that Of the democrats,
putting in nomination four army officers
against the democrats two. The resolu

States shall grant to their cO'ored popu-

incurred in any manner in behalf Of the
rebellion must be recognized express
confidence in the foreign policy. of the
administration, and tender to Secretary
Seward congratulations for his escape

they recognize enlightened statesman

SPIRIT OF THE SoUTH.-The journal OF
Commerce" after"a careful observation
of the condition of things at the South,
and from extensive correspondence and
vinced:
That there is determination in 4ll
minds to sustain heartily and snceraly
the Union and the Constitution. The
results of the war are: accepted in their
entirety. There is no disposition on the
part of any one to dispute, cavl or resist.
The leading men, especially the officers
of the hate rebel army indicate an earn
est and faithful desire to carry out the
views of President johnson. They are
sometimes asked why they don't leave.
the country and the reply is that they
do not feel that they have right to 60
they have duty to perform as far as
their influence extends in leading the
people TO hearty submission and cordial
support of the President and the Union.
President Johnson's policy as indicated
in his course thus far is enthusiastically
wise with reference to the state of things
as we have viewed it, The people of the
South are as ready for lfgovernment as
The people of the North.

GD- The Congressional Committee on
the conduct of the war have examined
nearly all the Generals Of the National
army and already several in terssting vol
umes Of military history have been pub
lished from their testimony. The New
YorkTimes,pOwss suggests that the com
mittee, continue its labors, and summon
before it for examination the leading
Generals of the late army of the late
Southern ConfederacyH If the object OF
the committees labors was to get at the
facts of the various campaigns and fur
nish material for history and literature
for posterity, it would be well that they
should carry out this suggestion. There
were many points left in the dark; there
were many intl icate things left unraVeled.
because we could not get at the facts as
to the condition of things on this side OF
the lines, and as to the movements, ma
neuvres and purposes ofthe enemy. All
these matters can now be reached and
