on Tue nrst point, but the leading alsu iT rC
convention having been those WI liis, ~.
Nye and Mr.. Hichborn led in the third patty
movement last veal, the very absence of such
formal declaration may be regarded as con-
elusion evidence of a present purpose to re-
turn to the only existing party that sympa-
thzes with temperance. This conc usion is
not reached without certain reservations, il
being understood that the return to the Re-
publican party is based upon the supposition
that it will be true to the cause TO which il
enewed its allegiance last year. We have no
doubt that the result will justify the wisdom
OF those who have determined upon this
course and also the good faith of the Republi-
can party-that party which has passed every
law restricting the sale of liquor that has
been enacted since it had an existence. We
nail with JOY the reunion of the two branches
of the party. The detection of five thousand
votes does not destroy Republican ascendancy
IN this State, it is true, but every reformatory
movement can be pushed more effectively
when these five thousand act with those who
a.e In sympathy with them.
AS to the second point there is difference
o. opinion among temperance men. The
convention took strong ground upon the sub
ject, as it had right to do, but, we suppose.
without intending to make of it shibbolelh
bJ which to cut off from all political associa-
tion those who believe other means of reform
- be more efficacious.
1t is too plain fact to be ignored that the
denomination of Governor Chamberlain would
be regarded as cosus belli, not only by the
Hichborn men of last year but by many others
to whom Gen. Chamberlain's last address does
not appear to be in harmony with even mod
crate temperance sentiments. But here we are
not award that any difficulty can arise, since
we have yet to learn that either the Governor
or his friends propose that he shall for the fifth
time become Candidate for thai pa, ticular
place, whatever other service may be required
of him by his fellew-citizens.

Inc Auburn Convention, though certain
professional satirists seem to have treated it
win levity and to have sought 10 bring it into
contempt, was evidently in the hands of gen
ulne temperance men. One correspondent
oJects to nearly all the prominent partici-
ptnts on some ground or other, even going so
far as to apply to them certain rules of his
own as to personal appearance, and obscuring
the moral significance of their action by ir-
relevant discussion as to regularity of feature
or grace of form. We doubt if Adonis, Alci-
blades, Lord Chesterfield, Beau Brummell OF
any representative of theirs was present. II

though its deliberations were often inarreupy
the intemnerance of eleventh hour enthusi
asts. vet on the whole, there was nothing in
its proceedings or its results that could have
precluded the attendance and participation OF
such veterans in the cause as Gen. Dow
Charles Stackpole and Judge Davis. Indeed
we have reason to believe that these promi.
nent temperance advocates were detained
from Auburn by other causes than want of
sympathy with the convention.
The three conclusions reached by the con-
vention, as we are led to believe from the res
olutions and from all that was said and done,
were these:
First, the third party movement must be
abandoned as a failure.
Second, the establishment OF Gta elila
is the immediate object which Temperance
men should strive to effect.
Third, Governor Chamberlain views qt

The NEW SILVER MSE.--A rich silver mine
has been discovered in New Mexico, miles
from the Arizona line, which is a mosf ysryei-
Gus deposit Of ore. Tidings receiSe'e last
Wednesday from the prospecting party yIich
left this place some twenty days previously
prove that the reports of the San FRacisco
papers, 80 far from exaggernting, haY Sailed
10 convey an adequate idea Of the ey ~ and
richness OF this deposit. From obse-R ltions
made by the party mentioned, it would appear
that il Is not an ordinary lode, but amountain
Of qnRrtz, the base Of which covers an area of
somewhat more than 400, 900 square yards and
the hight of which is not less than 900 feet.
From the base Of the mountain spurs shoot
forth in almost every direction. some of which
have been traced to very considerable dis
tance. BY the simplest process Of assaying
the groupings have yielded as high as $500 to
the ton, while fragments from the main body
Of rock have yielded as high as $500 to the
ton.
The following is an extract from letter to
Mr. Hodges, written by one Of the party "We
have reached the mine, and hopeful though
we were at starting out, yet were not prepared
TO witness anything SO infinitely beyond our
expectations. Here above ground lies sufi-
cient quartz to keep IA score Of mills in con-
slant operation for n whole lifetime"
This news has almost depopulated the
town. Every one is rushing to the mine and
still the cry is "come! comei THERE'S enough
for all" The first party that went thitheI
consisted of some 20 or 80, and on Friday an
additional 20 or 80 left for the scene. Every.
body is excited, and Of those who remained
in town we find groups assembled at every
corner talking mine and apparently oblyious
