Both the candidates for the Appeals bench
are uow Judges Of the Supreme Court Judge
brown, Of NcwburEh, has been strong man
In lis day, but the inseparable infltmities Of
years have put him beyond The period Of his
usefulness. His term expires this year. Jndge
Grover, Of Angrliea, was until recently m
active member Of the Republican party, By
holds. His term expires in 1861.
Gen. S1ocum, so far as ho Is at nn known az
politician, is 10 be ranked with the Union
party lie was Republican member Of the
Assembly In 1859 In Onondaga, where his
honc is, he has uniformly acted, and gene
rally in an earnest and leading manner, against
The so-callcd Democracy. As u General in the
field, upon the subjects Of emancipation and
cnnnscation, his measures hnvc always been
in conformity with the Government policy.
II Is only few days since, BY an arbitrary e1-
erclsc OF military power, he prevented the en-
lstmcn1 Of local militia in Mississippi
ing III collision with Provisional Governor
Sharkcy, and exciting the Democracy to
bitter complaint against him., Sotwithstand-
ing the statement OF Gen. Green that lie will
accept the nomination, Ee cannot believe II
General Patrick Is not now aad rcvcr WAS
Democrat. He has been known entirely rs al
army man-a soldier Of strict military educa-
ton, an able and enthusiastic defender Of the
Government, aud during his career Of Provost
ginia, the originator Of several measures In
favor Of the freed people and for the punish
lncnt OF Sccessionists, which secured him the
honor OF unmeasured denumciauon by the
Coppcrhead press -
hlr. Robinson is now serving bis second
term OF Office rs Comptroller. Each time he
was elected In opposition to the party which
has now put him In nomination. Ten years
ago this month he left the Democracy formal
II, and since that time hos been known among
its most radical and uncompr0mfsfng oppo-
ncnts upon the great questions which have
occupied md interested the public mind. If
there arc any good reasons why he should oc-
cupy different position than in the past 10
Ward his oldcn foes, they are get to appear.
Prince John - returns to the stage, and
will figure in grotcsqre antics, to the Infinite
amusement OF his auditors. John 1as lost
much Of his old-tilnc glory. But he said n
good thing when he demanded Ids nomination
on tho ground that .ttheze should be one true
Democrat on the ticket somewhere
Nj. Armstrong Is & merchant OF this city
| personally a popular and amiab1e man polft-
ieally as unsound as it is possible to be.
Nj. Sweet Is the Deputy Of the present
Engineer and Surveyor. Hc has not lately
| occupied any clearly defined political position.
The inevitable Perrin. Of q Know Sothinc,'
(! antcceucnts, Of course must figure upon such
! a composite ticket. An amalga1nation Of 60
| many fnconEruous elements would not be
l. possible unless he were thrown in to complete
| The fusion.
Now, the question is, whether party which
unconditionai1y surrcnders Gun win q victory.
