New-York tribune., 1867-10-02
ruptible MOrdecai, rides by in triumph to the
victory he has so well deserved.
ORG1NIZE.


The time has come for the Republicans
of every county, village and election district
in the Empire State to organize their NOvcm-
Der victory. The platform adopted by our
Convention meets sguarcly every living issue.
1t is not encumbered by the reitcratiou of
principles which were once IN conflict, but
which success has changed to axiOms, and
made the common property of all parties. Nor
does it venture upon ground where any who
have been true to Liberty and Union during
the past six years need fear to tread. Its reso-
lutions may be condensed as follows, viz: !.
Fidelity to Human Freedom. III. Impartial
Suffrage III. War against corruption. w.
Reconstruction through Justice; State repOse
through economy V. Economy in administra-
ton equality in taxation and no re-
pudiatiOn of our debts, State or
National. vi. Endorsement of Congress in It's
policy of recOnstructing the Union on the basis
of equal rights for all men, and pledge to stand
by them in all measures needful to secure liberty
and peace, even to impeachment. VII. Fidelity
to Southern Unionists. VIII. Thanks to our sol
diers and District Commanders. TX. IndOrse-
ment of Stanton, Sheridan and Sickles. X. Pro-
lection to our naturalized citizens in foreign
lands. XI. Endorsement Of the official course or
Gov. FcntOn, and thanks to Senators Morgan
and Conkling. for firmly resisting the Presidents
usurpations XII. A right to recreation on any
day of the week III every manner consistent with
public decOltm and the respect due to public
worship.
With every one of these principles, except
the last, the Democratic party is either openly
or secretly at war;
Holding that emancipation is crime, and
that liberty for the black man is larceny from
the white it would seek to fctter the onward
march of freedom by every clog that malicious
hostility can devise.
Upon the fate Of the Republican party in the
approaching elections in New-York and Penn
sylvania hang consequences so vast and im-
portant that the mind does not readily grasp
all the dangers of our position. Democratic
victory in these States would rOnse the dor
mant energies of the whole Rebel element in
the South, and the entire negro-kiling mob at
the North. The latest policy Of the Johnson
Rebel party is to Obstruct Reconstruction, until
the rights which have been given by Congress
To the black race can be revoked, and the
States be reconstructed on the plan of partial
suffrage, which has already been tried with
such signal failure. Though they lacked the
power to prevent the right of suffrage from
being given to the blacks, they now attempt
the far more difficult role of restraining its ex-
crcsc and revoking it, authority when clearly
and finally given. Having failed To prevent
their emancipation. they nevertheless hope to
renew their bondage.
The sooner these insane hopes and efforts are
dashed, the sooner and more peacefully the
Union will be restored. Until they are de-
stroyed the Union can never he restored. The
Presidents partial plan has been tried; its re-
suits are seen in the massacres at Memphis and
New Orleans, and in the monstrositics of Rebel
sway throughout the South. The people now
demand that the plan of Congress should he
fairly tried They must reiterate this demand
at the coming elections. Any other result would
summon the elements of the Rebellion to the
control of the Goyernment-would surrender
the South to a worse than its former despotism
and anarchy, threatening social war OF races
Oh the one hand for the restoration of Slavery
fully abolished, and on the other for the prescr-
walton of liberties fairly won. Hand IN hand
with this revolution in our reconstruction policy
would follow National Bankruptcy, the repudi-
alton of all debts public and private, and the
restoration OF all those malign and reckless
influences which once nearly effected the
dissolution of the Union itself.
We should then have Pendlctons Blacks,
and Vallandighams in the Cabinet, and
Lees. and Beaurccards in 0ur armies
The neckS of the Southern UnionistS would be
under the feet of President who only for
time seemed faithful to Freedom, in order to
bctray his pledges to Slavery and Rebellion.
