It is most unfortunate that our State Convention
was not called to meet this week, as to respond
with prompt and stern defiance to the Copperhead
demonstration at Philadelphia. We ought, also, TO
have been able to send deputation to confer ana
fraternize with the loyal SOutherners' Convention
at Philadelphia. We ought to have Had not only
our State Ticket but every Congressman, In the
Geld By the lst of September. The Confederate
guorrillas will be riding around our squares as
carly as possible, and we ought to be thoroughly
prepared for them forthwith.
We shall have a desperate struggle in our State
this Fall. The coalition against us is strong in
crafty political managers strong in official "ipoils'
and will be strong also in money. We can and must
beat them, but only by tremendous effort We
must pour the light into every school districts we
must organize and canvass each township; we must
have speakers by scores and meetings in hundreds
from end to end of the State; we must relight the
wsteh-fres of Patriotism on every hilltop and cause
each heart to glow with the fires of Loyalty and
Liberty.
We ought to have thorough organization OF the
Republican Unonists in every election district Of the
State: nay, we must have it, We ought to be ready
TO open the canvass in every County at the latest
on the return of our delegates from syracuse we
should have a meeting speedily called to organize each
township at furthest on Saturday, Sept. 9Th we
can beat the Confcdcrates; but not by lying down
and going TO sleep. We must have canvass Ike
that Of 1860, or that OF 1861. We must take hold
not few of us, but the great mass-with a fixed
resolve to deserve success and achieve it, We must
reach the heart of the People, arouse their enthusi-
asm, and cause them to rush to the polls Ike an
avalanche. Men and brethren LEI us work

| We are gratifed With the way in which Collector
Smythe seems to be running the stom-House. In
fact, he is just about the only earnest and sensible
johnson man We know of in this city. He chops of
Radical heads without mercy, and sends the trunks
home by express. These men at once spring up into
a new life, and go to work for their country. He
seems to discriminate pretty well, too He turns ont
those who can best afford TO CO. Not a week since
of these Radicals, of wealthy and influential con-
nections in Western New.York, went home on leave
Of absence. note followed him with the
intelligence that his place had been permanently
filled. He was rich-never should have been in the
Custom House-is good for dozen votes at home,
and we hope his brother will be sent home to keep him
company. Ii Mr.. Smythe would consult as, We could
designate ten who, heads on, will do nothing but
routine duty as revenue officers draw pay, and yege
tate generally. Heads off, they will return to active
life and help the good cause hundreds and perhaps
thousands of votes in their several Congressional Dis
trcts We want to see all this class OF men removed.
Mr.. smythe not only gratifes us in his removal OF
the class Of men referred to- but he makes other
moyals at which we rejoice. We believe be has re-
moved moro ''desd beats"-mere political camp
follOwers-than any Of his predecessors. Many of
these men are vile characters utterly unit for any
responsible duty. We learn that the Secretary of
the Treasury desires the wedding out Of this entire
kidney from the service. This Mr.. Smythe is doing
with firm and unsparing hand. OF course, the
places made vacant are filed by johnson men. This
we expect We are happy to say that the soldiers are
no. forgotten, and now and then most gallant and
worthy man gets good berth. In short Mr.. SmytLe
is rapidly making johnson party in the Custom.
House, and in doing so is helping us in one way, at
least in building up the Union party throughout the
State. We congratulate President johnson in having
found man on whom we agree az Collector.

to do so; but Mr.. Henry ]. Raymond is Chairman of
the Republican National Committee wherein we have
no voice, and the The Posts suggestions should be
addressed to him. Our friends tried to hold Con.
vention in New.Orleans three weeks since, where
upon one hundred Of them were murdered and two
hundred Tcre wounded by the constituents OF the late
Philadelphia Convention. We shall be very glad to
hold another there at an early day, but snail much
prefer that Phil Sheridan shall be on hand when u
