SYRACUSE, Sept. 20.-The State Republic
can Convention met to-day, and organized
by electing Mr.. Folger Chairman. Mr.. Fol-
ger, before taking the chair, said:
Gentlemen of the Convention, beyond
thanking you for the honor conferred by
putting me in this place, shall detain you
with but few phrases, for you needt not
words. The Union party islnot party Of
words, but of deeds, rather of ideas and
deeds. Just returning from a four year
mighty war, it brings back as the results Of
its loyal action the Union, the proclamation
of emancipation affixed fact, and lays before
the world as the. trophies of its triumph the
shackles~ OF four millions bondmen olsen
thralled. Never having, by solemn vote,
resolved the wara failure, it needs not to
blush with the shame of deferred
hypocrisy, If, the presiding officer of
lbs convention "opens its sittings
with the annunciatiOH, "That the
war for national integrity has been brought
to- successful issuer Nor among the del
egates are Brigadier Generals of the home
guard, fresh from paper defense of the
northern frontier, mastering in martial
might with voices ever before "still for
war;" but now loud for warriors! Not adj
vocating the organization of State mill
tia to protect the State from Federal ag-
gressiOn, does 1t put In nomination Fed
eral military officer whose last known act
is military order to suppress the militia of
State. 1t has no such ideas or deeds as
these; but gentlemen, though the war, is
over, the contest Is not yet ended. Begun
in the forum 1t was adjourned to the field,
fought out in the field, and we suppose
it is again adjourned to the forum; and as
the contest In the field was begun by steal
ing the peoples bullets, so the contest in the
forum is to be initiated by stealing the peo-
pies ballots. But thanks to the progress of
events, though the first was done under
Buchanan and Floyd, the latter is not to be
effected under Andy Johnson and f. NJ.
Stanton, for, so long as in the mouths of
men Jack shall stand for John, so johnson
shall be the same as Jackson, and Andrew
johnson be the synonym of Andrew jack
son, and the administration of the one, as
was that of the other stand In front Of all
against the surging tide OF overweening
State rights, and by its firm, unshaken, even
handed power, hold all the spheres of our
complex political system circling in their
constitutional orbits. Under such guidance
fisthe Union party to bear its part in this
new contest about to be witnessed. Greater
or less unimpaired, 1t holds the power and
tion lof the Federal Government not only,
but of every State in the Union. 1t is great
and powerful not by the accident Of a
day or by the chance result of single
| political. combination, but by years of ad-
herence to plainly promulgated principles,
| by persistent patriotic adherence to the
country's cause in the time of the country's
extremity, by steadfast faith in the cardinal
| principles ofVAmerican nationality, I'm
partial Justice administered under i'm
partial laws, flowing from Impartial
1 representation, based upon impartial
suffrage. Nor need we 60 abroad fora dec
laration of PRINCIPLES, nor for creed nor
seek for standard-bearers among captured
prisoners or dissatisfied deserters from the
enemy or to tlIe enemy. We have color-ser-
geantsin our own ranks, who have sustained
the country's flag where rebel fight was
fiercest and patriotic blood flowed fastest.
These will properly be our honored lead
ers and faithful standard-bearers Cheers.
lryC. NJ. Depew' has withdrawn his name as

erything now indicates that the ticket will
