SENSIBLE ADVICE.

The President has needed the expression
of the sentiments Of the people as elected
by his veto of the Froedmen's Bureau Bill
and his Speech Of Feb. 22nd, if he really
made it (Thad. Stevens says it is Copper
head fiction got up to damage the President)
and we are glad to be able to chronicle some
of speeches, that we can heartily approve.
His advice to committee from the copper
head convention that nominated Clymer for
Governor is thus related by the New York
Tribune.
lit viii be remembered that the late Cop
perhsad Convention of Pennsylvania, after
nominating Mr.. Clymer for Governor, passed
a resolution indorsing the Presidents policy,
A Subcommittee was appointed to come here
and present the resolution in person. This
grateful mission was essayed few egehipys
since. The committee were admitted to an
audience with the President, and were pro-
ceeding, after the most approved fashion, to
assure nm that the Democracy of Pennsyl-
wanna had designed no empty compliment;
that they had watched his recent action with
no ordinary qualification; and that they should
stand by him and his Administration SO long
tuition. Before the peroration was reached
the President broke in upon them with the
suggestion She ''ttesCiSest thShs ttsg could do
teds to go home and change their ticket He
believed that they had made fatal mistake
IN nominating such a man, especially at this
particular time, with many orther remarks Of
a similarly encouraging character. The last
seen of the Pennsylvania Committee they
were making for the Baltimore depot, In a
fearfully demersiized frame of mind. .
Traly these arc words of soberneas and
sense becoming Union President of the
United States. Ola Ike import is his direc-
ton to the Governor of Louisiana; the peo.
pie of New Orleans elected the notorious
and unrepentant rebel, John
I. Monroe as Mayor on the 18th inst, ON
the receipt of the intelligence the President
to the Governor not to permit !
the issue of a certificate of election to Mon |
roe. Such acts as these, and we hope to
hear Of more of them, go far to confirm us in |
our opinion expressed at the time of the
veto, that the President had not yet deliber-
ltely determined to strike hand with traitors
and rebels.

THE United States Government is in bet
ter luck than the people of our Atlantic cities
in the matter of beef The latter have to
pay on the average twenty five cents a pound
for that article of food, but the Government
the other day made a contract for year for
the supply of the military department of
Washington at eleven cents and three-fifths
and eleven cents and seven-eights per pound
and at the same time secured a contract for
mutton at eleven cents and half per pound
We take it for granted that the contractors
are confident that they can fulfill their obi
cations and make money

THE Pennsylvania Republican platform
excites great praise among the Republicans
Of other States. 1t is highly spoken of and
commended by the Republican press every
whore. The Detroit Tribune says:
This is the most significant political ex-
preston vet made, and it is to the honor Of
staunch Union men Of the Keystone State,
that they have attained higher expression
in their platform than any State has given
since the close of the war. We welcome
the fact as an indication of return to plain
speaking and honest principles.

POLITICAL STRATEGY.

1t is not generally known that certain
gentlemen now in this city have been en-
gagged for the week past in endeavering to
obtain The control Of the National Union
Executive Committee, appointed at the
Baltimore Republican Convention, in the
interest of the President and his policy A
meeting was held here last Wednesday with
this aim and object, but no definite conclu-
sion was arrived at. An informal meeting
was again held last evening and the matter
IN view was found mueh more difficult of
accomplishment than those concerned there
IN had imagined. The men most prominent
in the movement are Henry j. Raymond,
Chairman of the executive Committee; J..
u. Campbell of Ohio, Mr. johnson S recent
appointee as Minister TO Mexico; and Geo.
B. Center, ofClevclaud Ohio. The under
standing now is to meet for the third time
on Wednesday next, when Mr.. johnson S
friends above named win make final effort
to carry into execution the sale of the party.
There is but little prospect of their success.

TIE RICHEST GoLD MINES. The New
York Eceahg Post states that the greater
number. of deposits Of gold at the United
States Assay Office in New York are from
Montana. The ores of Montana are report
ed BY scientific men of be much richer than
those Of California. Those Of California
yield an average to twenty dollars per ton.
The gceat majority of the lodes Of Montana
promise an average OF more than four times
the above amount, and few lodes exhibit
astonishing richness. There are few sulphu-
rates OF iron and copper, carrying gold, in
Montana, such as prove SO troublesome in
Colorado. This is owing to tho fact that
the formationis so open and perforated by
water, that the sulphurets have been decom-
posed For the same reason minors in
Montana are not troubled with water, and
are saved the heavy expenses of pumping.
