PcnnsyIvnnfst and New
York.

Two conventions were held in the
Middle States of New York and Penn
sylvania, on the 18th inst, for the ipur-
pose Of nominating State tickets. Both
put forth their platforms-the one
Democratic, the other Republican-and
upon these the people of those great
States enter the fight. Here is the res
olution of the Republican convention
on the subject of the national debt:
THAT the public debt incurred for
the purpose of preserving the existence
of the nation, Is a sacred obligation be-
tween the people, 10 its payment in
good faith, to the full extent of the le-
gal requirements that the greatest re-
quirements of prudence and judgment
are still requisite, and should as far as
attainahle be employed at once to
maintain the public faith and credit,
and render the burden, as light as pos
pible upon the industry aud the wages
and produce of labor" 80
To this, the laboring and industrial
classes of Pennsylvania are pledged.
Low rates of interest in general trans
actions made government securities an
inviting investment and the industri-
Gus mechanic and farmer with few
hundreds, at hand, put them into
seven thirtiesp and ....fiye twenties. -
The Democracy of New York are afraid
ofdistinct resolutions. They promul-
gate an address, in whose stupid and
false gencralities are concealed, the
blows they aim at the party that has
keptthem in obedience to law and or
der. The.great Mogul Seymour, made
aspeech but il fell fat upon the ears of
the street corner, pot-house, fag.end
politicians who had assembled i'm All
bany, to show that rowdyism and mig
ger-killing were still alive. They
pledge themselves "to devote their en-
tire energies to the work before them,
SO as TO secure as the first necessity of
political and social life the restoration
of the Union and establishment of the
Constitution as the supreme law of the
land. = "They 1.-THE Republi-
cans under pretense of diminishing
the public debt, imposed heavy tribute
onrevery citizen, and SO, ON to the end
of the chapter. TO SHOW the infamy
oftheir conduct in face of thefnter-
innablc lies announced i'm their adj

Who, is this Seymour that he has
grown SO great? upon what meat has
he, been fed? He, fattened. upon the
blood of the men, women and children
murdered in the streets Of New York
City, in July, 1868. The great Morris
sey is the PRINCE of gamblers and black
legs and insults the nation every hour
that Ire occupies his seat in Congress,
and the Democratic convention of New
York have insulted the, morality and
decency shat, in spite of the associa-
ton, illremains in the rank and file
Of the party, Ifthe leaders ofthe par
Iy in the West have any self7respect
they will discard theNvulgarity and in
decefcy of their ancient allies in New
York and set up for themselves. This
is not to be looked for however at this
stage. The Democratic convention at
the capitol of Iowa, came out but little
behind in their demonstrations of vio-
Ietiee. The lie was given repeatedly
and swallowed with the grace of men
who felt that they had long ago Left the
old land marks OF, the party, and sold
ont tonaen who could bully and brow
beat them into submission. The New
York Democracy are under the thumb
ofsuch men as Morrissey, and its polit-
teal and financial character takes its
hue from them. National honor and
public faith in the Keeping Of men
whose lives have been spent at the card
table or the prize ring would make
humanity shudder The advent of
such q period would witness the reign |
of bIudgeons, and might would be right. |

and despise morality that theFe dam
