The Next Governor Of New York.

The nomination Of Gen. John a. Dix by
the Republican Convention of New York
last week is undoubtedly the very best and
wisest, in political point of view, that could
possibly have been made. And it is a selec-
ton as patriotic as it is worldly wise. There
is probably not single man in the State
who would command so large a vote, and
not one who would give the people a more
honest, economical, wise, and patriotic
administration. The nomination of General
Dix, though he has never been member of
the Republican party, but, on the contrary,
lifelong Democrat, was made unanimously
and by reclamation, every other candidate
withdrawing from the contest before the con-
vention the moment Gen. Dix's name was
presented. By this nomination the Republicans
have rendered Republican victory in Novem-
Der as certain as any event contingent upon
the intelligence, honesty, and patriotism of
the people everwas. The best informed and
wisest say Gen. Dix will receive three Demo-
cratic votes for every bogus Republican the
Greeley candidate will receive. His private
character is not only spotless, bat has ever
escaped the shadow of suspicion through a
long and active official and political life His
brilliant services to the country during the
rebellion has secured him the gratitude of all
patriotic men everywhere, and will secure
him such vote in New York rs no other
candidate ever received. For his order,
while Secretary of the Navy, directing that
" If any one dares to haul down the Ameri-
can flag shoot him on the spot" has immor-
talized him in history. His reply to Governor
Seymour during the New York riots was
equally pungent, and may bear revival at
this time as nut for the Democracy to crack.
Seymour, who was getting shaky about re-
suits, telegraphed to the General, who was
then in command of troops on Governors
Island, asking could he take care of New
York. Gen. Dix replied, 81 can take care
of New York and you too"

A Georgia Convert to Greeleyisin

The Macon (Ga.) Union, one of the most
ferocious and vndictive Of all the "Radical'
papers, until its editor lost all hope of being
reappointcd to the position of postmaster at
Macon, has pulled down the Republican flag,
and is now shouting and working for the
Greeley Ku-Klux ticket with terrific energy
and animosity. In every number of his pa
per the editor of the Union illustrates the
truth of the old adage that, "one renegade is
worse than ten Turks" In the issue of Au-
gust god, among other very savage charges,
is one in regard to certain corrupt trade
entered into about the appointment Of 4
Revenue Assessorin Georgia" which he says
he exposed in June, 1869, which should have
been enough to hurl him from his position,
and for which he seems to hold the Post
master General responsible. Having sharply
rebuked the President for not having "hurled
him (the Postmaster GeneraD from his posi-
tion," the editor says:
We promptly condemned the corruption,
never thinking that it would have disastrous
effect upon the application of the editor of
this paper for the postmastership of Macon.
IN true Keeping with the Grant Administra-
ton, Cresswell used his position as Post
master General to whip US, by refusing to
make the appointment.
Now it seems that he has been caught APP
proving fraudulent claims against the Post
Office Department for very large amounts, in
which he is more or less interested, and still
he is retained by President Grant"
AS the editor of the Union so clearly gives
the motives for his detection and the cause Of
his grievance, it is hardly necessary to reply
to his miserable charges against the Post
master General. And yet it won't do any
harm to say it is an absolute, unqualified, and
purely malicious falsehood. There is not a
word of truth in it, and we may defy the enc
mics of the Postmaster General to produce
the slightest proof that ever appeared a fraud
ulent claim against his department. The
editor undoubtedly knows the charge is false,
or he has no reason to think it true, which
makes his conduct lust as disoracefill

is acknowledged by friends and foes as one
OF the noblest and most gifted men in the
country, who has seen the great leading idea
OF his life become a reality, and finds himself
to-day as much honored for his share in the
work of liberation as he was formerly hated
and denounced, we are told by the Tribune,
envies Horace Greeley, who, in his morbid
cravings for the Presidency sold out whatever
he had Of honor and principles, and must
necessarily know that if defeated in his ca
danqne game, he will be left nero wreck,
another "degraded old man,"!" Or does
the Tribune mean to intimate that the great
orator envies Mr.. Greeley's Evolutionary tri-
umphs, though the latter has always been
merely tolerated as speaker on the strength
of his position as the chief editor of an influ-
entail paper, and is just now swinging
round the circle" in twaddle, which alone
would almost be sufficient to ruin any candi-
date. Thus far it has always been the in
ferior man who has envied the superior; the
poor envies the rich, the prisoner the free,
and if, nevertheless, there must necessarily
be envy and jealousy between Wendell Phil
lips and Horace Greeley, it would seem far
more natural that these sweet feelings should
be cherished altogether by the latter. In
fact, by assuming this to be the case, we have
the keynote of the whole article, as we'll as
of Mr.. Greeley's old animosity against Wen
dell Phillips, and We have to thank the 7ri-
dune for teaching US the word.
Yet the Tribune does not stop there. Since
Mr.. Greeley is guilty of treason towards the
Republican party, it must necessarily make
out Wendell Phillips guilty of something
criminal, and in the absence of any better
pretext, it charges him with an attempt to
stir up the blacks to acts of violence, and in
evidence quotes the following passage:
"Vote, every one of you, for Grant, as you
value property, life, wife, or child. If Gree
ley is elected, arm, concentrate, conceal your
but organize for defense. You will
need it soon and sadly"
Nobody in his senses-Mr. Greeley in
cluded-can honestly mistake this advice for
anything but what it is: Namely we'll
timed warning not to be persuaded, by trans
parently false promises, to vote into power
the men some of whose partisans in declaring
his election as the means to put an end to
what they call "negro supremacy" have in
voluntarily betrayed their secret intention to
deprive the negroes of nearly all the fruits of
twelve years of Republican rule.

AS class, the papers claiming the title of
" Liberal Republican, )" are the meanest, most
unjust, inscriptions, and untruthful of
all the organs of public sentiment ever pub
lished in this country, or, indeed, in any
other. Their course justiies US in believing
that they prefer falsehood to truth as mere
matter OF taste, even when the truth would
serve their purpose just as well. They illus
trate the doctrine of total depravity more
forcibly than all calou. theological teachings.
But there are degrees of depravity among
them, and there is now and then an editor
who makes spasmodic effort to state the
truth. But they are like angels visits-few
and far between. The Springfield Mass. }
Republican is one of this kind, though its at
tempts are generally bad failures, it some
times, however, is very candid in speaking of
Gen. Grants official conduct. In a recent
article the Republican quite vigorously de-
Tended Gen. Grant from the infamous charges
its Liberal" co-workers, of ''usurpation,"
tyranny" oppression for his efforts to
enforce the laws of Congress designed to pro-
tect Southern loyalsts. In the article it also
expresses the opinion that neither Gov. Sew
ard, nor Greeley, nor Sumner, nor Adams
could manage the reconstruction business any
better than Gen. Grant has. This, and the
sentiments contained in the following extract,
coming from so Jealous and so bitter a Gree
ley organ as the Republican, which, in this
case, has turned States evidence, is valuable
testimony:
Now Gen. Grant was put into the White
House to carry out this policy. He did not
force himself upon the office; the people
forced the office upon him. They could not
know OF course what sort of a President he
would make. But they took him at a VEN
tre, believing him to be the right man for
their purpose. They saw one side Of the
reconstruction problem with perfect distinct
ness. They saw that strong hand was
needed at the helm, and they believed Gen.
Grant had such hand. So they elected him
and gave him his Orders-to protect the ne
groes and to make the ex-rebels behave
themselves. He has obeyed these orders,
and it really will not do for Northern Repub-
licans, who were clamoring four years ago
for policy of greater severity, to now turn
round and call him 'tyrant' and military
usurpcr' for obeying them. Gen. Grant is
entitled to fair play. There is reason to be-
lieve that he has deprecated at heart the I'M
necessary harshness which has been used !;
that he has sometimes even gone so far as to
discourage projects for additional repressive
legislation that he has been steadily over
ruled by the advisers he has chosen, and
who-until quite recently-have consciously
had public sentiment behind Them"

The GrecIeyiles Threaten u War
of Races.

Liberal Republicans and malignant Demo-
Gratis are quite lavish with solemn warnings
to the negro against the danger and destruc-
ton that will enwrap them should they all
persist in voting for the regular Republican
candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent. The banding together of colored men
in ono party is to cause the wrath of the
whites against them to wax stronger and
stronger, until with overwhelming force they
bear down upon the few blacks and totally
annihilate them. This menace comes in the
main from the Greeleyites, maddened by the
fact that the colored voters have not shown
great willingness to follow the advice of Hon.
Charles Sumner, and that they persist in the
support OF party that has done and is doing
so much to make their LIVES and property
secure against the malice and hatred of such
Greeleyites as shot colored men and women
in Savannah for riding in the street cars of
that city. We fail to see that lack of intel
llSenco which the Grceleyites attribute to the
negro because of his banding together in one
party, We see in it an example of great in
telligencc. The negro finds banded in one
party all the elements opposed to his adj
vancement, all the elements opposed to his
exercise of civil and political rights, and the
ku-klux klans of the South; in the other
he finds the friends of freedom and equality
before the law, his intelligence prompts him
to support freedom and equality before the
law for his own protection. To say that
colored men should divide between the two
parties merely for the sake of being dividedis
foolish. To urge them to that division with
menace of war of races is deyelish.
