t!.. a New York Letter.
We have n New York letter before us.
which, although too long for our col
.umns, nevertheless contains some in
teresting items and comments. Tho
recent visit OF Secretary Stanton TO the
East, and to New York city, is thus
alluded to: a.- 'i f"lie
The visit OF Mfr. Stanton differed from
all similar ones mnde by War Secre-
tRries. Instead of courtliIr. tlisnioyS ar.
cal1ngto his aid tho jugglery Of self
seeking popularity, he Stunned eYery-
thing Of the kind; WIS content 10 nj
tend 10 his official duties, and nccept
the kind hospithlities OF those whom lie
regarded us friends nnd acauaintances.
Most mon, occupying the ligh position
held by MIR. Stanton, would have com
trtved to get an invitation from the CITY
council to a llonizing gnla. Scarcely a
country schoOlmnsteF, or a militia colo
mel, OF an outside Alderman, or deputy
sher1h, visits uB, who does not mannGe
to get up n kind OF populnriZinsr IioISf-
zatton, or who Is not, by hook or by
crook, treated to one OF those most nlS-
surd aud most contemplate of all spe-
cies Of self-gloritication, a serenade.
Mr.. Stanton neither sought nor nc
ceptod any instance of marked ntten-
tiOn. IL he had not been opposed 10
| everything like display, he would have
been bored TO death by our Mayor md
Common Council-would hnye bnen
dragged through the city by Aldermen,
demagogues, blnckguards and popin!
Jays and most of all, would have been
invited TO accept Installations at Tnm-
many Hall and the Pewter Mug, where

Master Billy Rivcs of Virginia, NIL in
their day and generation were sentnfl
and partook Of the strong fwnters as
dispensed by tho Prophets Tecnmseb
and st. Iammany. Mr.. StantOn's Tooi
sense IN avoiding all hOllOw-hpart lied
eyldences OF popular favor, is worthy
OF all lnhdatton and encomfum.
CONCERNING THE LATB ALBANY con
i1, VENTION
The following remarks are made:
Tho nauseousness OF this swfndIe
becomes moro apparent with each s,it,,
ceSstye hour. Tho parties engaged in
II hnd objects to effect; first to lmImbuly
and delude the President, and then tyef
exclusive possession of all the Dntron-
] age he has TO dispense in this tiuurter.
A very large majority of the convention
administration, and had the mnnIiness
70 own 1t. They had resolutions pre-
pared to give utterancc to their feelings
ana opinions, but were eout-mannuyrtd
BY oittrickery and their innnto Inst
OF patronnge. They finally adopted
resolutions complimentary of the Pres
ident and his policy, and expected to nj
once be paid of by tho Executive. The
I resolutions had scarcely been adonIed
before one-third of the whole members
constituting tho convention started for
washington to solicit offices. The en-

By far the greater pnrt of tile ALBANY
convention had opposed the war, play
ed into the hands or the rebels, symDa-
thlzed with Jefferson Davis, and sus-
tained tho riots and the rioters who
debauched and violated this CITY two
years ago. They We're all advocates or
the Chicago convention and of Me-
Clellan, and strnined themselves 10
their uttermost 10 destroy the rebubIic-
Many of them, IL indicted, would have
been convicted OF treason or mIsprison
OF treason. There were men among
them who had Justified tho nssnssinnsi
tion of President Lincoln: who onnosh,l
tho trial of lMudd, Spangier, Mrs. Sur-
ralt and O'IAughlin by military conn-
mission, and who had reRrciLatl tl1nf

AND TEr THESE DEsPRRADoRs
ii mad the a9dacity to go into conven-
patriotism, claim Andrew Johnson ms
thelr leader and their chief, and voIun-
teer 70 take charge of his adminiStra-
tton, and appropriate to themselves his
Pattonage 70 the entire exclusion of that
and will sustain him.
THE PROPOSITION OF THESE PErLows
Is an open, direct and palpable insult TO
fLeslueht 4 johnson. It in effect saws to
MN, we believe you to be an imbecile:
we. know you are a hypocrite and n
knnNei and we ask YOU to nhanflon
your friends, those friends who elected
you TO the proud position you occupy.
nnd come over TO us. We only ask
you TO do that which you are capable
OF, ana We Will stand by You to tho end:
only subject to us your patronage and
power, and We VIII re-elect you to tho
Presidency at the next election"
