To The Editor of the National Republican!
SIR: viii you please state why the call for
contributions to the General HOOP family fund
is being sent up with such n boom in THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN rs well as other Re.
publican papers2 Had not the loyal people of
this country, if they have money to give away,
better raise fluid for the thousands of poor,
half-starved and neglected widows aud or
phans of loyal men rather than contribute to
make rich the family of a disloyal man? 1t
looks that way to an old soldier, any way, and
one who does not believe that one penny can
be given by loyal man or woman to the
HOOD fund without sin and ngratitude. Now
one more question only: When the Republi-
cans of the District so much desire Republ-
can in the place of Captain PHELPS on the
board of District Commissioners, why is the
name of WILLIAM DICKSON put forward for
the positionY INQUIRER.
As our correspondent seems to be "in pur-
"suit Of knowledge under difficulties,n we
take pleasure in contributing to his enlight-
enment on direct application, as in this in-
stance. THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN pub
lished the appeal to the public for contri-
buttons for the benefit of the HOOD orphans
in the cause of humanity. While our feel
ings toward the father while living might
have led us to demand his execution as q
traitor, when Providence removed him and
left family of innocent children depend
ent upon the charities of an uncharitable
world the mantle of our dislike for the
parent did not fall upon their unoffending
heads, and hence we published the appeal
made for succOr in their behalf in the nam e
of common humanity which attaches to
Christian civilization.
In reply to our correspondents second
inquiry, we can only say that we think he
is luboring under confusion of names.
Mr.. WILLIAM DIXON, n highly respectable
and worthy citizen of Republican procivi-
ties, has been named in connection with
the Commissionership, but we have not
heard the name Of Mr.. WILLIAM DICKSON
who is a worthy man aud Democrat, used
as a successor to Mr.. PHELPS. We make
answer to these interogatories that our re.
pected correspondent may be enlightened
according to the best of our knowledge and
| belief

pertinent to briefly alludc to the fact that
the Democratic party in New York has in
this instance bull-dozgd itself to some good
purpose to the country. 1t is " hoist by its

the Nation has suffered much from the
policy which it now applies to its own of-
fairs, and that fact, even in the midst of the
sad rites of its own sepulture, affords some
cause for patriotic rejoicing among the pco-
pie who love their country above all things

of disproving 1t, because 1t would be waste OF

on this subject. 1t ought, however, to have
speeches of Vallandigham, Voorhees, and
tho rest in Congress on the subject. The prin-
cipal object have in noticing it is to call at.

UNTIL yesterday the Post has never enter.
tanned doubt as to the ability of the Demo
cratic party to elect its Presidential candidate
in 1850. The action of the New York Demo-
cratic convention at Syracuse yesterday places
the whole matter in dark uncertaiuty.-FOsi.
While this is frank confession of COM
ing defeat to the Democracy, it betrays n
sad knowledge and appreciation of the
signs of the times and the real temper OF
the loyal American people. Since the extra
session of Congress the indications have
been unmisIakable that the people who OPP
posei secession and rebellion during the
four years of war have determined that the
destinies of this Nation shall not again pass
under the control of party which plotted
for its overthrow. Without the bolt in
New York, that State would not have
elected ROBINSON. The danger behind such
a result would be too great to be hazarded.

and copies of the New York Eceni,tg Express,

THE New York Democratic platform IS
more remarkable for its redundance of
Words than for its advertisement of ideas
aud principles. 1t is sophistical, hypocrital
and delusive in expression, and is only in
tended to deceive and mislead. II makes
war upon the power and right of the
Federal Government to conduct and
protect the election of its own Off
GERS. This is for the Southern and New
York city markets, 1t declares against re-
Viving the issues of the war, but has no
word Of rebuke for the rebellion nor for the
rebel brigadiers who in the last session OF
Congress not only revived but attempted to
reverse the issues and results of tile war.
The platform, like the Democratic party
itself is simply fraud. 1t may, however,
be good enough to be used without party
