ONR NEXT LLECTION

The State of New York will choose Secretary
and other State officers, next November; also,
a full Senate for two years, and an Assembly
for the year 1872. The Senate so chosen will
help elect a u. S. Senator for six years in Jan
uary, 1873
There are diverse aspirations, preferences, con-
victions, among the Republicans Of our State
but mono of these, so far as we can perceive
or imagine, would be promoted by defeat of
our party in 1871. At all events, if such there
be, they ought to be denounced wa,red upon,
crushed, extermnated
This being tie year preceding Prcsi-
dental Election, it is neither cxpcdient nor
practicable to fatigue and exhaust the voters
by a vehement canvass. Let them 60 into the
Presidential contest, shen the proper time for
that shall have arrived, feeling that they have
had three years substantial rest, and can
take hold with unwom, elastic energies We
must poll Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Republican votes in 1872; we shall probably
not poll more than Three Hundred and
Seventy-fve Thousand in 1871. OF course we
shall have no professions, no banners, no
neighbOrhOOd clubs, no great mass meetings.
Our canvass will be quiet, unexcited, I'M
fatguing, but not therefore inefficient. If
there be less smoke than usual, there need
not therefore be less fire.
The first point is the selection of worthy
and capable candidates. 1t is not of the small
est consequence that they be recognized as
Fenton men or "COnkling" men; it is in
fact desirable that, in the main, they be re-
garded as neither. They must be men who
have neither acquired nor deserved the repu-
tation of jobbers in legislation or leechcs on
TIE body polite.
We solicit an early call of the Republican
State COnventiOn-nOt later than the first week
in September. The worst candidates are gcner-
ally held in reserve till few days before that
of Election, and then put upon the track when
there is no time nor chance TO replace them by
better men. But let ouT State Ticket be
framed at an early day, and the machinery will
he put in molten which will constran an early
nomination likewise of Senators, Assembly
men, and County officers. Xbis will give the
People fair chance to beat such as are known
to be or generally reputed thieves. They are
entitled to this let them not be tricked out Of
it, We do not mean TO point ont individual
delinquents, since this will give their hackers
an excuse for defeating in revenge the faith
full and true men in nominations but we re-
peat our admOnitiOn Of past years: Inquire
into the characters Of the candidates pre-
scented for your suGlages, and vote FOR 10

II il said that the Russian Government is
disposed to listen favorably to the appeal Of
an American deputation of the Evangelical
Alliance in behalf of the Protcstants of the
Baltic Provinces of Russia. 1t is claimed that
these people, who are of German and Finnish
descent are oppressed in various ways by the
propasandsts Of the Greek Church, and
tho dcputation, which contains some
distinguished Americans, ask that they
may have the Same liberty of conscience and
religious liberation which are accorded to Greek
Christians in the United States. The Russian
Government has been urgent in pressing the
use of the Russian language upon these in
labitants Of the Baltic Provinces, but no very
wide or public complaint has heretofore been
made OF their persecution.

have encouraged them to make determined
attack, and the slaughter which must have
ensued as a consequence would have been

troops there has been developed disposition
on the part of many to condemn them, and
much that is bitter but little that is cOnvinc-
ing has been published. This is said to be
part of q scheme of the Tammany officials
on whom rests the crime of forbidding the parade,
and then by resembling the order instigatin
the riot, to fix the responsibility for the loss
of life upon the militia. We hope the delay
in holding the inquests does not pOrtend any
such absurd action on the part of the Coroner.

Postmaster General Creswell is the target of
savage attack in the Democratic organ at
Washington on account of the l.e Mail Let
tings. 1t seems that bids for contracts are
made by men of straw, who (as prGarrangcd)
refuse to contract: then the Postmaster Cen
eral is obliged to make temporary arrange
ments with others NATURALLY, the former con-
tractors) at a much higher rate. Thus the re-
quirement that the contracts be let TO the
lowest bidder (or TO none) becomes source
of fraud. 1t is urged that a return should be
made to the old plan of giving the contract,
when the lowest bidder defaults, TO the next
lowest, and so on. This is the precise system
which broke down in the repair of our Canals,
facilitating enormous frauds. We discover no
particle of proof that Mr.. Creswell has con-
