EX-GOV. PACKARD'S VIEWS.
Opposition to the Presidents P0licy-The
Republican Party ENDANGERED,

New YORK. July 2O.-Ex-Governor Packard
stated yesterday that there was a perfect
fauore OF opposition to the President and his
policy in the Iowa convention. The resolution
endorsing the Presidents policy was tabled
with contemptuous bowls, and the convention
greeted him tPackard) with enthusiastic shouts.
The Republicans of the West, Packard said,
are almost unanimous in opposition to the
Southern policy of the administration. Next
fall the Republicans will be defeated in Wis
consin and Pennsylvania.
The Democrats will have $4,000 majority in
New York. Our party is going to pieces, but
if the President will change his Cabinet, put
out Schurz and Evarts, Devens and Key, and
put good Republicans in, of the old sort. Zach
