tbs Avalanche claims that as Messrs.
Haynes and Kellar both support 1.-The
Liberal nominees and platform, it is
therefore obviously proper to class them
as Liberals" This is fair enough, but
the Avalanche gets into deep water
when it asserts that " the late Conserva-
i've Convention nominations cannot be
binding either on Liberals or Democrats,
it having no force. and the question
must be decided on the merits of the
candidates" The nominations made by
the late Conservative Convention are of
considerable force, and without being
legally binding on any voter will, we
opine, be sustained by at least nine
tenths of the Democrats aud Liberal
Republicans of the district Colonel
Haynes is q regular nominee Of the
Conservative party, while Colonel Kellar
is his own nominee. lJi4MH

THE Republican Convention of New
York closed its labofs yesterday, by
nominating John A Dix as its eandi-
late for Governor. A platform was
idopted which contained a fulsome
sulogy on Grants administration, and
an expression of faith in Grant and VII
son that is based on the mostreckless
disregard for truth. The "incorruptible
integrity" of Grant came in. for unqual-
fled Endorsement by his satellites. The
following resolution was Incorporated in
he platform, amid universal applause;
Resolved, That we welcome to our
ranks honest Democrats who spurn the
unprincipled coalition which seeks to
ally them with discarded elements of the
Republican party,
The honest Democrats who support
thesinfamous Grant dynasty and the un-
rrincipled coalition against the rights
and liberties 0. the people of the South,
are, we opine, not in existence. There
may be few ex-Democrats who will
play the barnacle and cling to the rotten
hulk of Radicalism, but it is satirical
in the extreme to call them honest. M

MISSISSIPPI PoLITIcs.--Mr. NJ G. Bra
dey, recently one of the Grant Electors
for Mississippi, gives it as his opinion
that Mississippi can be carried for Gree
ley if 3 proper effort is made by the
people Of thar State. He thinks the
nomination Of Colonel Lamar in a dis
trict which is largely Democratic may
do wen enough. but considers that the
nomination Of straight-out Democrats in
other districts 10 the State would be
fraugbt with disaster to the Liberal and
Democratic party. A fusion Of all the
elements Of opposition to Grant and a
hearty cooperation, he thinks, will give
