STATE PoLrIcs.-The Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee and the State Committee APP
pointed under the auspices Of the conservative
Convention in Philadelphia, meet in Albany
to-day. II is anticipated that each will call a
State convention to meet on the same day in
Syracuse and nominate State ticket; after
which they will unite together and form the
grand conservative democratic republican
party Of the State. The union between them
will, no doubt, be brought about something
after the style Of the old whig and republican
party. 1t will take in all the supporters Of the
Philadelphia platform of both parties. This Is
the way In which that great movement Is to be
carried out In this State.

VAILANpIoHAM AND THE SOUTHERN DELE
GATES AT PHuADEIPHIA--It Is reported that
vallandigham manifested disposition to be
somewhat ugly on his first arrival at Philadel-

tIon. The Southern delegations, seeing this
propensity on his part, at once notified him
that IL he did not quietly withdraw they would
vote him out. Seeing that the Southern dele
cations we're in earnest, he made virtue Of
necessity and resigned his claims.

negro worshippers have now got another
cause TOR alarm. General Grants presence
and conspicuous position by tho side Of
the President at the reception OF the CON-
mittee from the Philadelphia Convention has
thrown them into . greater panic than any
thing that has yet happened. They are trying
to show that this was mere accidental cir
cumstance, when, in fact the bearing Of Grant
and the whole thing looked as though u was
prearranged. General Grant is shrewd man,
and he has evidently discovered which way
the wind is blowing, and has taken sides with
the President and the people in this contest

INFORMATION WANTED FROM Mr. STANTON
Secretary Stanton, 1t appears, Is about to ex-
change his position at the head Of the War
Department for foreign embassy. Before he
is turned out of Office and takes his departure
for Madrid we hope he will send US the report
Of General Smith and James 7. Brady, which
he holds, relative to the condition Of affairs In
Louisiana during the war. We are anxious to
know particularly all about the management Of
the cotton question and the ingenious method
BY which General Butler managed to effect an
exchange with the rebels Of provisions, percus-
sion caps and other little things-of which
they stood much in need about that time-for
rebel cotton, and what became Of the cotton thus
received In exchange. There are good many
other details OF this kind in connection with the
management of affairs In Louisiana upon which
Mr.. Stanton can enlighten the public by fur
nishing US with the report OF General
Smith and Mr.. Brady; for instance, the
facts connected with General Banks
Red River expedition. There Is another
pretty extensive cotton speculation in
volved in that affair. General Banks, 1t
seems, suffered q great defeat on the Red
river; but ifhe lost good many men, it is said
that he got good many bales Of cotton, which
might counterfeit the loss Of life in the estima-
ton of the radicals. Then there is a good deal
Of curiosity about the late New Orleans riots
which the radicals concocted and with which
it is supposed General Banks had good deal
to do, as he was evidently well informed in
advance of what was about to take place and
limited in speech in Congress at the results
which were afterwards accomplished.
Upon all these interesting points Mr.. Stanton
has the power to inform the public, and we
hope he will not take his departure for the
Spanish capital without gratifying the general
desire for information in these matters. Let us
have the smith-Brady report by all MEANS

GENERAL SwEENY's ADDRESS 10 THE FEM
ANs-THE RADICALS CHECKMArED.-The earnest
and honest protest Of General Sweeny against
the alleged abuse Of the Fenian Brotherhood
by an attempt to traffic in votes at the coming
fall campaign, which we published yesterday,
must command the respect OF every one inter-
ested In the good Of the country. While we
have not the least suspicion that what Is called
the '1rish vote" can be sold by any individual
to the radical demagogues who are evidently
bidding for It, 1t is well, perhaps. that General
Sweeny should thus emphatically relieve him
self and the other sincere leaders Of the move
ment from the responsibility ofentering into .
bargain with politicians or in any other way
duplicating an organization which Is under
stood to aim at tho independence Of Ireland,
and nothing else in American politics.
We do not believe that the Fenians, as
body, can be induced to vote for any party.
and the Irish citizens generally will probably
60 In the fall elections pretty much as
they have always gone, on the conservative
side in politics. Nevertheless, as the
report has very generally gained credence that
tu0 d5Sumeu TTc6lueut Oh tuo rcHlduS, MT .
Roberts, has been approached by the radical
leaders with certain promises of personal and
political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in consideration of
either obtaining their votes against the Presi-
dents policy, or getting up a mock raid on
Canada about election time, 80 as to compel
President Johnson to interfere again, and thus
render himself unpopular with the Irish, or to
get up an excitement during the elections on
the frontier, and thus withdraw number of
voters of the different States from the polls-all
of which plans are, 1t is rumored, in contempla-
tion--the pronunciamento of the fighting leader
and Secretary of War, General Sweeny, may be
well-timed. At all events, his words proclaim
an honest purpose, and may spoil the coquet-
fish game which the radical demagogues in
their present desperate condition are trying to
play with the Fenian element, through the
vanity or weakness0f some of its prominent
men.

REVOLUTION IN Cry P0IrrScs.-The success
of the Philadelphia Convention has created q
regular commotion in city politics and bids
fair to cause a complete revolution. A revo!u-
ton is taking place in Tammany Hall, to the
CONSERVATION of the present managers of that
concern. They are flying about to find some
place to go to, and are indulging in abuse of
Thurlow Weed for spelling all their plans. As
for Mozart, tho revolution is completed In that
organization by the shelving Of the Woods
Tho conservative republicans are in great
glec over their chances, while the radicals
are threatening revenge on account Of their
failing prospects. Where all these interests
ore to go is now the question that seriously
agitates them.
While this commotion and state of uncer-
tainty exists among the local politicians, we
have for the drst time In long period all the
federal and city oniceholders, with very few
unimportant exceptions, using their influence
for the success Of the conservative movement
inaugurated at Philadelphia The State officers
in this city are Of no account They are prin-
cipally imported from the country, where they
were played out, and were sent here as exiles.
What they can do against this movement will
amount to nothing In this locality the cam
paign, therefore, opens under strong auspices.
When the Tammany politicians get over their
fright and settle down-as they soon must-to
the conclusion that their only salvation is to
20 with the tide, the movement will be the
most formidable ever witnessed in this city.
