In spiteof the constant influx of immigration,
we learn that the farmers and other employers
of New-York and adjacent States are in great
want OF laborers, with little prospect OF the
demand being very soon supplied. This is IN
part owing to the fact that a large proportion
Of the immigrants axe induced by the false
representations OF railway agents to purchase
tickets for distant Western States before EN-
barking for America, and when they land In
New-York they are whisked away without
knowing how much their labor is needed on
the Atlantic coast. The interest OF the railway
companies is Of course TO send them as far oil
as their money will carry them. 1t would be
much better for laborers to pay for their inland
transportation after they arrive on this side Oh
the water. The Commissioners of Emigration
furnish them with all necessary facilities and
information.

Chicago will see to-day perhaps the greatest
political convention ever assembled in the
country. The gathering was yesterday larger
than has ever been known on a similar occa-
sion, and the excitement is correspond
ingly great. Oar latest dispatches do
little more than indicate the complete
uncertainty In which the action Of the Conven-
ton is shrouded. Wade, it is stated, will have
large plurality on the first ballot, but it is
believed that enough of the State delega-
tons will ultimately yield their respect
i've candidates in favor of COlfax to
secure his nomination A good fight is
being made for Gov. Fenton, and Hamlin
is also said to be strong. The platform will in all
probability contain the outspOken Repudia-
ton principles of the recent Illinois Convention ;
the ground to be taken with reference TO the
impeachment and the defaulting Senators is
still in suspense. The Convention will do lit
tie more than effect the permanent orGaniza-
ton to-day,

THE PROMISED CHANCES IN THE CABINET


On all sides we find the story repeated, with
every variety of circumstance, that Mr.. John
son promised, before the close Of the Impeach-
ment trial, reformation of his Cabinet, as a
concession to Conservative sentiment, and for
the purpose of winning the favorable voices of
certain Senators who hesitated in making up
their minds on the verdict. This statement has
passed beyond the domain of simple rumor ;
it is everywhere accepted and believed, and
speculation is busy with the details OF the APP
pontments The Cincinnati Commercial, jour-
nal usually well informed and of late especially
friendly to Mr.. Johnson has the following:
Our special dispatches from Washington say that the
President has resolved 70 form Cabinet as as

The making of new Cabinet, under ordinary
circumstances, would not be matter calling
for severe criticism; but when a President
under trial for unlawful tampering with Cabi-
net offices secures verdict in his favor by
promising certain changes in his Administration,
how much less guilty of bribery is he than the
jail-bird who offers directly a roll of green
bacls7 With single exception, the members
of the present Cabinet have gone blindly with
Mr.. johnson in all his mad pranks, and it
shows degree of ingratitude on his part that

but from apprehension that the new batch may
be still more dangerous to the peace and prog

Presidents counsel set down by the Cincin'
natl paper for Cabinet offices, we can readily
understand that the appointments will be an
easy way of paying their fees; and 10 that
view, why not include Nelson and Stanbery

THE CAMPAIGN TRIBUNE.
1863.

The Presidential canvass of 1868 is already
certain to be one of signal interest and vehe-
mcnce. The American People, so long distracted
by issues originating in Slavery, embittered by
Rebellion, and eliminating in Johnsonism,
instinctively welcome the struggle now open
ing as destined to close the long series OF
sterile and wasting distractions and usher in
a glad, bright era of peace and rest. OF
all the false dOgmas which melted and
upheld the late frenzied War for Dis
union, the assumption that "This is White
"Man's Government" wherein political rights
and franchises are the nghtful monopoly of a
single race or caste, alone remains to be over
thrown. Pointedly condemned by the Declare
ton of Independence. signally though Quietly
rebuked by the Federal Constitution (Which
recognizes among our people only free per-
sons and "all other persons but knows no
such distinction as White and Black, and put
TO open shame by the undeniable fact that
men OF diverse cOlOrs fought under our flag in
our Revolutionary contest, in the War of 1912,
and in our late desperate struggle to
preserve the Union, it nevertheless takes
shelter under the Atheistic if not fendish
assertion of natural, uncOnquerable antipathy
between the Caucasian and the African races.
and natural right of the hater to dominion
over the object of his hatred. This last enemy
of our peace, this fOmenter of intestine feuds,
of hostility and bloOdshed, alone remains to be
overcome; and the first Tuesday of November
next must see it endorsed and put at rest for
ever.
THE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE proposes to do in
this contest its very utmost for Impartial
Liberty and Equal Human Rights. Believing
the triumph of the Republicans therein to be
the natural and logical complement and con-
summation of that struggle for the rights Of
"Human Nature" which our Revolutionary
fathers 90 nObly initiated, 1t enters upon the

LIVE IND DEAD PARTTES.

If the chief end of political effort were the
maintenance Of 9 petriaed consistency and the
enjoyment Of the largest possible measure of
power, then dead party-that is, one which
had outlived its fundamental ideas or the neces-
sity for their assertion-would have one decided
advantage Over1a live one. A dead party is
rarely troubled by schisms, or perplexed as to
its proper course in any emergency. The man
who always stays where he was born never
misses his way, nor fears that be should. His
head never aches with perplexities nor with
distractions. And thus the Democratic party,
since it died of aristocracy has far less intes-
tine commotion OF discOrd than when it was
alive.
The Ohio State Journal discourages the making
of trenchant platform at Chicago; suggesting
that the Republican party may better run on
its War record and on that of its candidate.
Whereupon, The N. Y, Times concurringly
