SYRACUSE, Sept. 2O.-The Republican
Stato Convention assembled here to-
day. Ghas. j. FOlger, of Ontario, was
chosen temporary chairman. Mr.. Fol-
ger, before taking the chair, said:
| Gentlemen OF The C0IIGentiOn:-Bey
thanking you for the honor conferred
by putting me In this place, shall de-
| tain You with but n few phFoSeS. 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 Is four years mighty war, it
action, the Un'onunimpaired. The proc
lamntion of emancipation Is affixed fnct.
1t lays before the world, as the trophies
of its triumph, the shnckles of four
millions of bondmen disenthralled.
Never having, by solemn vote, resolved
that war failure, it needs not to blush
with the shame of detected hypocrisy.
The presiding officer of this Conven-
ton opens its sitting with the enuncia-
ton ''that the war for the national in.
tegrity has been brought hoa success
tul issue" Now among the delegates
are BrIgadier Generals of the home
guard, fresh from a paper defiance of
the northern frontier, mastering in mar
t1al might with voices never before but
now loud for war; her warriors now
advocate the organization of R7State
milttiato protect the State from federal
ton federal military officer whose
last known act is a military order to |
suppress the militia of State, II has
no such ideas as these.
But, gentlemen, though the war is |
over, the contest is not yet ended. Be |
gun in the forum, it was adjourned to |
the field, and fought out on the field. MS |
we supposed. 1t is again adjourned to |
the forum, and as the contest in the |
field was begun by stealing the people's |
ballots, SO the contest on the forum is |
to be initinted by stealing the peoples |
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
Il. NJ. Stanton, for SO long as in fthe
mouths of Jack shall stand for John.
so johnson shall be same MS Jackson
and Andrew johnson be the synonym
of Andrew Jackson, and the udminis-
trntiOn of the one as was that of the
other, be n front wall against the surg
ing tide of o'erweening State Rights.
and by Its firm, mistaken. even hand
ed 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 contest, and 1t is able
to do it well. 1t was never greater or
more unimpaired; it holds the power,
moulds the policy and shapes the leg
islation of not only the federal govern
ment, but of every State in the Union
save two or three. 1t is great and pow
ertui, not by the accident of II day, nor
by the chance results of single Doliti- Il
cal combination, but by years of adhe-
renee 10 plainly promulgated princf- \
pies; by persistent, patriotic adherence
to the cOuntry's onuse in the time of the
country's extremity; by steadfast faith
in the principles of American nation
atty; impartial Justice, administered /
under impartial laws flowing from i'm
partial representation, based upon i'm.
partial suffrage. Nor need We 20
abroad for n declaration of princiDleS L
nor for standard bearers, nor for /,
creed, nor seek for standard benrers
among captured prisoners or dissatis-
fed desertefs from the enemy, or to the
enemy.
We have color Sergeants in our own
ranks who have sustained the country's
flag when the rebel fight was tiercest, Il
and patriotic blood flowed fastest and
Of these will properly be our honored
leaders and faithful standard bearers.
(Cheers.) E7ff5 w
