The WAY for II victory overthe party in power,
with the vast patronage of the Government
in its hands. 1t would be Il proof OF the re-
cuperutiye strength of the popular Will, OF

people, that would give new faith III rep'lb-

There seems to be u general concurrence OF
oriuion amongst all who have expressed any
favor for this Convention. The desire to put
a check upon corruption. to relieve the leo-
ple from interference of the Government Ill
the elections, to rcCstahli>h the Constitution,
the c~qll;1ity of the States. the security OF the
citizen. and the harmony of the sections,
seems to be tho object of all who array them
selves against the present Administration.
Uniting upon these grand objects, certainly
there will he no danger of dividing about
matters of mere cXpedicncy. The address of
the New York Conservatives presents this
broad platform. 1t says something about the
tariff, but there is no danger of difficulty
upon that point, When the ultra Radical
party does not permit the tariff TO produce
discord in its ranks, aSSurcdIy a party fight
iug against il will not lie less slgacious. Sev-
eral votes taken in the present Congress in
relation to the tariff show the ultras to be di-
vidcd and to exercise entire freedom in then
votes.
1t cannot he possible that the Republican
part of the people of the Union can look upon
the present Administration, with all its fol-
lies, stupidities, vulgariticS, and corrup-
tons, with favor or even with pa
tiencc. That they do not, has been
too plain to admit of Il doubt. But the trou'
lie has been to find a way to express the
disapprobation of those who cannot up.
prove. The Republicans could not be ILL
duced to 20 over to a party they had for 50
long a time opposed with determination ard
bitterness. They would bear the ills they
| have rather than do that. The difficulty Of
| raising the standard of rebellion to the ruling
power was so great that none but the most
courageous could do it. The act has been
long delayed, and it has been c]ountenanced
Internationally only by very few. Yet it
is done, and those who were disconnected
now find u chance to express their
true opinions without going over to their
old enemies. The New York Conservatives,
we take it, are representatives of these good
people. and they are unquestionably a strong
body of men. We shall probably see a good
many following the signerS Of the New York
address, and should the Cincinnati Conven'
ton do the best that can be done, and the
Democrats wisely acquiescc, we believe that
the present Administration party will be
beaten. That would be Il glorious event
for the Union, and would secure to The
country immediate pacitication, general con
fdcnce in tile Government, and nationa
| contentment and prosperity.
