FROM NEW YORK.
Correspondence of the Ohio Statesman.l
New YORK, Sept. S.

N I II ....l
At last the documents SO long dreaded
by the Radicals have been given to the
public. The White Sulphur Springs
diplomacy has passed into history. The
Journals of this morning give the cor
respondenee between General Resecrans
and General Lee and others. For many
days theleading Republicans of this city
havelbeen in feverish state because of
the many Bogus-like ghosts which start
ed up from the Springs. TheysEwould
not down at their bidding. What could
Rosecrans mean? What but the strik-
ing of amnrtaI blow at the Republican
partyq We could tell you if we chose
of the desperate efforts of the Tribune
to get this correspondence days ago. It
would show the value set upon the utter
ances of -Rosecrans and the Southern
Chieftains. Well, these utterances are
indeed Important. They should be
studied by all classes uof the people.
North and South, and especially by the
politicians. What will the Radicals do
with these statements of Lee and his
brethren? In particular, what will they
do with the following statement in their
letter ?-"Whatever opinions may
have prevailed in the past in regard
to the African slavery, or the right
of State to secede from the Union, we
believe we express the almost unani-
nous Judgment of the Southern people,
when we declare that they consider
that these questions were decided
by the war, and. that it is their
intention in good faith to abide by that
decision." Or this: Gas farsas we are
advised, the people of the South enter.
tain no unfriendly feeling toward the
Government of the United States, but
they complain that their rights under
the Constitution are withheld from them
in the administration thereof. The idea
that the, Southern people are hostile to
the negroes, and would oppress. them if
it was in their power to do so, is entire
ly unfounded." What spiking of Radi-
cal guns is there. If these declarations
be true, what in the future will be the
particular mission of the .Phillipses, the
Greeleys, the Summers, and others of
that school IF it wasn't worn so dread
fully threadbare, we would say some-
thing about Othello's occupation being
gone. E
The action of the Democratic State
Convention, it is hardly necessary to
say, is heartily ratified by the great
majority of the party in this city. Hoff
man is a strong candidate, and will
arouse the earnest effort and enthusiasm
of the true Democracy of the entire
State: A very respectable minority of
the party may have desired the nomina-
tion of Murphy or Church, but now that
the nomination is made there will be
united and determined work for Hoff-
man. A. Oakley Hall, you will remem-
Der, propbesied that the Empire City
would give Hoffman a majority of
10000. This. estimate is doubtless
overlarge, but you may not question
that the majority for him in this city in,
any event, will be overwhelming zl-4
The Democracy of this city, in their
ward and other associations, are being
well organized. The work done, and
being done continually, suggests the
magnitude of the issues of the campaign.
So. are the Radicals working. Any
one who for a moment supposes they
are asleep, makes wretched mistake.
Ifthere be anything like success written
in the books, they are determined to
achieve it. Tell your Democratic breth-
rem this. ;ls'sas- he s-6, 5srs..s.3 a--s5
The Tribune thus appeals to its read,
ers: s"We must not be beaten. The

doing well in the canvass, but we ought
to do better, for there are still thou
sands who would read Republican pa
pers who have them not, and who are
imbued with ardor and enthusiasm for
the success of our candidates and our
cause. You must help to reach some
thousands more of those. And to in
vite you to do so, we propose to send
the Weekly Tribune to clubs" &C.
There's profitable patriotism and war
like ardor for you. 10 -
The action of the Georgia House of
Representatives in expelling the blacks
has produced the most profound sensa-
tion here, in both parties. Intense ins
terest gathers in the question, what is
to be the next act in the dramal Mr..
Greeley seems inclined to draw this les
son from the expulsion: That there
was real danger that the Aattering at
tentions paid the colored people by their
old masters would beguile considera-
BILE share of them into voting for Sey-
mour and Blair; and further, that after
this act, there need no longer be doubt
that every reconstructed State will vote
for Grant and Colfax. Other people, it
is hardly necessary to say, read a very
different lesson from Georgia politics.
The wickedest man in New York"
continues to cause sensation here. But
it seems that somebody has affirmed
that there is wickeder man in New
York than even John Allen. His name
is Tommy Hedden, and he keeps
sailors boarding house and "shanghais
the sailors" Unlil now the Radicals
were inclined to think that if any man
could claim rivalry with Allen in be-
ing the wickedest man, it was surely
Brick Pomeroy. They hate Brick and
his "red hot" journal with a bitter
hatred, and this ill-starred appearance of
Tommy. Hedden has nonplussed them.
We have just got through an old-style
rain storm. No pretense, no hypocracy,
but such down-pouring of water as
washes away embankments, stops street
cars, submerges houses, &c. This par
ticularly in Brooklyn. It commenced
raining on Thursday afternoon, and
didn't finish till some time last night.
As to gossip, the fashions, sports, &C.,
&C., there is perhaps just a perceptible
dullness. At least there have been
times when things were livlier. %
Trade changes only slowly.
The same old story about the money
market: Easy at 3 and a per cent. Il
