THE New York Freeman's J ourna1,
which always argues ably and is rarely
mistaken in its conclusions, expresses
the highest confidence that Pendleton
can carry majority of the free cleo
toral votes against Grant and against
Chase as third candidate. ASST
RANGES of this sort are cheering, even
In the face of serious entanglements
and difficulties that seem to be loom
ing up in the immediate future, and
tend to fix more firmly our conviction
that the Southern delegates should
interfere with the nomination no fur
ther than to endorse the choice of q
majority of the Northern Democrats.
We are far from being sanguine un-
der the most favorable circumstances,
and are certainly not rendered more
so by the holding of the Convention
in New York, where the almighty
dollar is well nigh omnipotent, and
where its worshippers will assemble
in mighty array.

AFFAIRS IN CALIFORNIA.

We publish the following extract
from letter from friend in Califor-
mia. Not doubling the advantages
offered by that State, we indulge the
hope that Southerners will stay at
home, bide their time and refuse to be
dispersed like the Jews and lost, with
all their characteristics, in the mass
of mankind:
see from letters from different
States in the South, that an immense
immigration will come to this State
this year. Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas will send the greatest number,
and Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and
San Louis Obispa will be the chief
points to which they will go, as large
tracts of land are being cut up into
smaller ones and Offered for sale or
rent. How | wish some of our old
friends from Tcpnessee We're out here
where they would be free from the
dCtestablc influences which surround
them.
This country, outside of taxes, feels
nothing of the effects of the war.-
Democratic. The Republican party
has lost its power and its influence
has subsidized, | believe for all time To
come.
Heretofore, the North has supplied
the bulk Of the immigration here. 1t
Is not 50 now, and probably will never
bc again, The southern people are
comparatively without homes, and
rs they have been deprived Of their
labor there, they can do better by en-
pioying white and Chinese labor than
they can while relying upon the indo-
leuce of free negroes. There will be
a large Southern population i'm this
State from necessity. IL il the only
accessible point To them. Brazil is a
fHr or country towhich families with
daughters and sons yet 10 he educated
can not go. Besides, the political
status of that country is not yet set
tied. Like AL Spanish countries, its
future no man can fOreseo. Califor-
MIA Is the only practical point where
quiet en- n bc realized. splendid steam

way of Honolulu and Japan. These

Senate on the first article, involving
the removal of Stanton, with n view
OF using that parsonage to annoy
johnson, but he has grown tired OF
his part of cat's.paw, and has already
relinquished his position. He turned
over the papers, &c, of the War
Office, and left 1t i'm charge of Gener-
al Townsend. He will leave his office,
with more odium than any other
functionary that did everresign office
in this country.
Thomas is represented as i'm high
state of enthusiasm over his fallen foe.
The acquittal of the President uni
formly meets with manifestations of
JOY. Even the poor negroes i'm the

why. Many Radicals who in the
passion of the moment joined the hue

refused to allow Democrats on the
committee, and what they NAV do,

The House by its action, which is
such as no parliamentary body was
ever guilty of before, thus sanctions
the atrocious proceedings of Butler &
Co., and will share in all their infa-
my. The object of refusing to appoint
democrats on the committee, Is to
prevent an investigation of the affairs
OF Pomeroy and Nye, whom rumor
says were anxious to sell out.

THE most remarkable feature In the
Chicago platform, is the assumption
that Congress has the right to contlne
the elective franchise TO the negroes
and the yankee scoundrels congrc-
gated In the South, whilst the North
ern States are TO be left free, 10 rcgu-
late suffrage for themselves. IL tho
States are TO be unequal, the spirit
and letter of the Constitution are fore
IDLY set aside, and 10 Union can he
permanent that is prcdlcatcd upon
such unauthorized and upwise ine-
quality. If the Union is to bc restor-
ed with an eye to pern,anency, equal
ity, in all political rights, must be
rigidly adhered to- Any other sort of
Union must be maintained by force.
Nothing better than such tyran-
nicafidea could be expected from a
set of men who could deliberately
frame such platform and mount up
on it, as their representative, a butcher
and blockhead, whose cruelty and ig-
norance are Characteristic, Jointly or
singly, of the party that has selected
him rs their living exponent
We publish the platform in another
place and ask all to read it and esti-
mate its denial of the plainest princi-
pies of political justice, its evasion of
the best settled maxims of free gov
eminent, and its miserable twaddle
in general.

AMONG the immediate good effects
of the Presidents acquittal may be
classed the resignation of Stanton
He goes out because of the condemna-
ton of his own party. The President
was arraigned and tried for the pur-
pose of vindicating the beastly mis-
conduct of Stanton and the treachery
and falsehood of Grant. The failure
to convict is u direct condemnation of
both, and the judgment will be af-
firmed By the people.
