Some prominent citizens of New
York recently addressed letter to
President Johnson, asking if he
would consent to become q candidate
for the Presidency before the New
York Convention. The President
replied in long letter, yesterday, re-
viewing some of the acts. Of his ad-

divisions which have occurred be-

the desire of the people, whose SER
want he IS; and he trusts that the De-
mocratic Convention, in the forma-

the common good of the people and
country than the supremacy of the

New York. July G.-Police ar
rangements were inadequate this
morning to keep back the surging
crowd. which blocked up the entrance
so that the delegates had difficulty in
entering. at half-past 10 the dele
gates were generally in their seats,

Gov Seymour proceeded to the plat

consideration of this Convention

resolutions of the late Chicago Con-

the now dominant party of extrava-
CANT wasting of the public monies;
taxing the national credit; expediting
immigration by over-burdening Ia
Dor with taxation, and breaking
