Repnblican Convention.

Republican Convention.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 20.-The Republican
State convention assembled here to day.
Charles J. Folger, of Ontario was chosen
temporary chairman. MI. Folger, before
taking the chair, said:
Gentlemen of the convention, be-
yond thanking you for the honor confer
red by putting me in this place, shall
detain you with but few phrases, for
you need not words The Union party
is not party of words, but of deeds,
rather of ideas and deeds. Just return
ing from four years mighty war, it
brings back as the results of its loyal az
ton the Union an integer, the procla-
nation of emancipation "a fixed fact,
lays before the world as the trophies of
its triumph the shackles of four millions
bondmen disenthralled. Never having
by solemn vote resolved that the war is
failure, it needs not to blush with
the shame of detected hypocrisy. If the
presiding officer Of its conventions opens
it's sitting with the annunciation, that
the war for national integrity has been
brought to q successful issue" Nor
among the delegates are Brigadier Gener-
ais of the home guards, fresh from paper
defence Of the northern frontier, mus
teripg in martial might with voices new
or before "still for war;" but now loud for
war warriors now advocates OF the Or
ganization of State militia to protect
the State from Federal aggressions nor
does it put in nomination Federal mill
tary officer whose last known act is a
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. Be-
gan in the forum it was adjourned to the
field, fonght out on the field, as We sup
posed it is again adjourned to the forum,
and as the contest in the field was began
by stealing the peoples ballots, so the
contest in the forum is to be initiated by
stealing the peonles ballots, bat, 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 E. NJ Stanton, for so long as
in the mouth of men Jack shall stand for
John, so Johnson shall be the same as
Jackson, and Andrew Johnsan be the
synonym of Andrew Jackson, and the
administration of the one as was that of
the other, stand as front wall against
the surging tide of overweening State
Rights, and by it's firm, unshaken, even
handed power, hold all the spheres of our
complex political system circling in
their constitutional orbits.
Under such guidance is the Union
party to bear it's part in this new con-
test, and able to do it we'll and was
never greater or more unimpaired. 1t
holds the power and moulds the policy
and shapes the legislation of the Fed
eral Government, not only, bnt of every
State in the Union, save two or three. 1t
is great and powerful, not by the acci-
dent of day, or by the chance results
of single political combination, but by
years Of adherence to plainly promul-
gated principle, by persistent patriotic
adherence to the countrys cause in the
time of the country's extremity, by steal
fast faith in the principles of American
impartial justice admins
tered under impartial laws flowing from
representation, based upon
impartial suffrage. Nor need we 90
abroad for declaration of principles,
nor for standard bearers; nor seek for
standard bearers among captured prison
ers or dissatisfied deserters from the
enemy, or to the enemy. We have color
sergeants in our ranks who have suS-
tained the country's flag when the rebel
fight was iercest and patriotic blood
flowed fastest, and some of these will
be our honored leaders and
faithful standard bearers. Cheers.
