True to the instincts of the party, tho Con
vcntion endorsed resolutions to the effect lst'
That they are truly gratifed that the iratr-
cidal war has terminated, and that the 'bcs,-
ing is obtained with a preserved Union and
undivided country" ID: That now the peo-
pc demand the suhorlnation of the military
to the ciuil rule; the restoration of the author
ity of the Courts and the recognition of the
equality of the States, and that they are OPP
posedto States being compelled to adopt me-
gro equality Or negro suffrage as an element
of their constitutions. ID: They recommend
the work of reconstruction of the States late
" in rebellion to commence ut the point ot
secession, and pledge the President in the
great work ''our cordial and energetic sup
port and 4th That the thanks and gratitude
of the people are due TO the soldiers and sail
ors of the North, and to their brave command
ers, who have illustrated the pages of our his
tory with deeds of yalor that elevate the fame
of the people, and vndicate the character OF
republican government, &C., &c.
Now while we are indisposcd to be consid-
cred ccnsorious, we Cannot nevertheless but
remark after reading the resolutions adopted
by this party, that the anteccdcnts of the old
party rise up before one mind like Banquo's
ghost and will not he stilled, reminding us o.
the tersiversations Of the party, and that toe
at no later day than under the domination o
Gov. Seymour not year since, in this very
Empire State; also at the National Con
, vention at Chicago, and elsewhere by the par
ty throughout the country; when and where
in their estimation, the war was downright
murder, the suppression OF secession and re
r bellion unconstitutional, and the sailors ant
soldiers of the United States barbarians AM
the representatives of the variest tyranny
Presto, what change has come over tn
. vision Of their dreams, for one moment 4
= > suppose, that because they are capable
. shutting their eyes OH their own tergiversa
TONS that therefore the public are neither t
lsee, remember or to doubt, that all they sa
l. are verify, is prcsuming too much on tn
: public credulity. Heretofore everywher
e throughout the land, this same party to tn
# present time, were opposed to the use of CT
1t ercive measures for the suppression of rebel
n ion; now they profess TO be thankful for tn
success which attended it,--hcretofore the
were advocates for the division of the Unio
= into two or more parts; now they profess to
u grateful over its preservation, Heretofore the
l. refused to vote the first dollar or for the fir
II man for the suppression of the rebellion, b
= now that all has been accomplished witho
q their aid and despite the veriest oppos'tio
'e they arc blatant in their en"omums and a
loudest in their pledges that the Cover
ment shall pay the last dollar OF the publ
" debt" which no sane person ever doubted bo
: the will and the ability Of the Government
" y do. also they are profuse in thankfulncss
the esllar,soldier and sailor from whom tn
: would withhold the right of suffrage while

=, = great work was achieved, and would me
- gratefully condescend to receive their s,
. port to place themselves in power, but
p0r falsify the pledges given not only in N
a York, but throughout the free States.
Ter their success at the game now playing,
to public need have no apprehensions; thoa
ms they assume the garb of the lion, they are
led less the ass, and under the guise of the Ian
hio they are betrayed by the braying Of their
his lectable kind.
ltic We predict that Gen. Slocum will lo
The caste from the contact, and fare no better
rer their hands than another General whom
icould name, who fell into their hands.
