long struggle to strip the Onited SUITES
Government of all power to secure Tree anu

the most hearty sacrifice OF indivldual ih'ri-
ests and wishes, should not only inspire inc
Convention in the framing OF PLATFORM pu'
prepare il to accept with ready acqnlescchee
such choice of candidates rs the goou sehse
of the majority may make.
II has been said by some, in the heat OF
discussion. that this nomination Or tliat'
(without prctence OF personal bad charac-
ter or Official misconduct.) would cause
the defeat of the Republican ticket.
We counsel the good men Of the State not
10 indulge in such unwise predictions or
gloomy foreb0dings Somebody Is gong to be
dissatisfied witt the result OF the Convention,
of course. I'm the ardor of then convictions
or preferences, many men have worked them
selves up to the belief that the course which
they oppose, if taken. will lead to disaster.
But il is good SENSE for them to remember
that they have been mistaken before. tspec-
ially let them remember that the Republican
paltv. when 4 great National duty is
to he done. never hesitates or faiters
about it because Of mere personal likes OF DIS
likes might avalanche of patriotic dcyo-
ton is TO sweep over the country. Those who
get in is way Will regret it. The Nation is
going to maintain its honor and 10 put down
the new rebellion, and it will have as little
patience with questions OF personal prefer
ence rs it had with the manifesto OF wade
aud Davis against Mr. Lincoln III 1854.
There is no reason to apprehend that the Re
puolicans Of New-Yorll will make any nomi-
nation which the people of Newly 'rk will
not second by an election. 1t is possible to
90 unwise things, possible to throw away
strength, possible to make the struggle doubt
full aud hard. But while we have little cX-
pectation of having our own personal prefer
ences gratfed We have faith that no
mistake that can in any way imperi! Repuh-
lican success will be made by the Convention
which meets to-day.
