Vlit A11"X Convention Character and
Objects of Its Action.
Frm the Time$.
Xbe Buffalo Gommmrtal Advertiser baa the
jklU wing paragraph: '
"There to one point In regard to the conduct
f the present political cauviwe and it la a
Mist npon which its entire success depends to
which we desire to call the special attention of
those of our friends who are of Democratic an
tecedents. We refer to the necessity of carry
ing out In good faith the understanding which
-was entered into at the Philadelphia Conven
tion, that all old party antecedents and future
action should be merged in the National Union
organization. It whs not contemplated then, or
inec, to strengthen the Democratic party by
that mo? ement, and any effort In that direction
bow cannot fail to be mischievous. We would
therefore, give to our neighbor of the Courier
a gentle hint that it should not again offend in
this respect, as it did this morning, by calling
the Albany Convention a . ' Democratic State
Convention.'" t
This is good advice. It has only two dcfecla
it comes rather late, and it ought to have been
addressed to the Albany Convention before its
aieeting, rather than to one of Its subsequent
rgans. Possibly it might have prevented the
mistake which that Convention made, though
we are inclined to think this somewhat doubtful.
It seemed to be established by the action of
he Philadelphia Union Convention that the
great issue to be presented for popular decision
this fall, should be the restoration of the Union
by the admission into Congress of loyal repre
sentatives from loyal states; and those who took
part in that Conventiou assented to the presenta
tion of that issue in such a form, and so distinct
from all others, as to leave untouched and un
impaired the party relations of individual citi
zens who might concur and co-operate upon
this one point. The call for the Albany Conven
tion, though open to objection in point of form,
slid not distinctly violate this understanding;
and accordingly libcial Republicans, who sought
the early restoration of the Union, responded to
it, and elected delegates to the Convention.
When the Convention assembled, we believe
that two-thirds of the delegates were in favor of
the nomination pf General Dix not merely be
cause of the confidence in his superior popular
etrength, but because he was believed to oe, in
sentiment, political position, and personal rela
tions, the best possible representative of the
spirit, principles, and objects of the Philadel
phia Convention, of which he had been the pre
siding officer, and to which he had given the
key-note in his opening address. All his political
JUe a Democrat, he had held himself during the
war aloof from party contests, and had devoted
.himself to the support of the Government in Its
struggle with the Rebellidn. On this account,
also, it was felt to be pre-eminently fitting that
be should be put forward as the representative
in this State ot a national movement which was
intended not to break up the Republican party,
nor to strengthen and restore the Democratic
party to power but to complete the restoration
of the Union as the necessary condition of all
wholesome and safe political and party action.
In this opinion we believe every Republican
delegate, and very many Democratic delegates,
from the country, fully concurred ; and it the
vote had been taken on Tuesday when the Con
vention was perfectly prepared to act, (ieneral
Dix would, beyond all question, have been
nominated. Governor Church prevented this
result by adjourning the Convention against
the distinct and emphatic vote of a majority
f its members, and thus secured the delay
which proved sufficient to thwart its will.
The next day Judge Pierrepont, generally
Tecognized as a friend of Geueral Dix, formally,
and as if with his assent, withdrew his name.
Judge Pierrepont had ostentatiously refused to
participate in the Philadelphia Convention, and
in his speech at Albany tor the first time vir
tually assigned the reason for so doing. He said
that "throe mouths ago several of us assembled
together in the city of New York," and decided
that Mayor Hoffman should be nominated for
oovernor. The reasons assigned for this deci
sion were, that "no man in this Convention was
born when the last Democratic Governor was
lected from New York or Brooklyn," and that
the nomination would probably be conceded to
"those great cities, which bad done such ser
vice to the Democratic party." Judge Pierre
pont did not claim this as a right, because, he
eaid, "no local city has any rights against the
, great ideas of the irreat Democratic party."
Our business," he added, "is to sacri--JC
anything and everything to its in
terests, ana tnat everybody was ready to do."
"We" cast about, therefore, Judge Pierre
pont proceeded to say, to discover who could
command the largest vote In these cities,
and as Mayor Hoffman would get the whole
vote ot the Democratic party, together with the
votes ot the Irish and ot the German Republi
cans, "we" concluded that his name was the
te8t that conld be presented. Judge Pierrepont
further assured the Convention that Mr. Hoff
man was a man "in whose hands the safety ot
the Democratic party would be sure," and he
-was confident that the members would be will
ing to set aside the names even of those personal
Xriends with whom they had been more inti
mate than with Mr. Hoffman, "tor the great in
terest, for the benefit of the great cause, and for
the success of the great Democratic party."
Judge Pierrepont thereupon proceeded, without
the slightest warrant, so far as appears, to with
draw the name ot General Dix, and Mr. Hoffman
was forthwith nominated by acclamation.
It seems clear from this statement that Mr.
Hoffman was nominated, not as the result of
any tacit or other understanding at the Phila
delphia Convention, but as the result ol a meet
ing ot "several of vsn held In New York two
months before the Philadelphia Convention
assembled; and not as the exponent of ite prin
ciples, nor for the purpose of carrying into
ffect its purposes and objects, but as the repre
sentative of the Democratic party, and for the
purpose of promoting Its well are and securing
lU success. It is scarcely necessary to say that
this formed no part of the purposes or expecta
tions witt which liberal Union members of the
Republican party had taken part in this Con
vention. Nor did they expect to be called
on to set aside, against the will of a majority of
the Convention, so eminent aud patriotic a pub
lic servant as General Dix, because of the active
part he had taken in sustaining the Government
luring the war, and of the vigor and energy
with which he had eo-operated in its measures
lor suppressing the Rebellion.
Nor ia this the full extent ol the load which
the Convention imposed upon those Republicans
who are expected to co-operate in the election.
Instead of restricting its action to the Bpec.ltic
issue presented at Philadelphia, theJConvention
N proceeded to denounce, in very clear and unuiis-
jutKuuio muiub, me BL-verin cuuiwbisioiih oy
vhlch the State Legislature has provided for
th1 c'ty of New York all the eoverntuent which
afftyds its people safety in their persons, secu
rity in their property, or anything like a decent
degree of honesty and efficiency in the adininig
Iratlorr of its attains. The Police Commission,
the board of Charities, the Emigration Commis
sion, the Central Park Commission, and the
Health Board all alike full under the sweeping,
hostility declared against thsm by the Albany
Convention. As all these were the work of the
Republican party, and are deemed essential by
that party to the maintenance of anything like
good government in the city of New York, it is
certainly asking a great deal at the hands of
its members, to join or acquiesce In these de
nunciations. The Convention conceded to the Republicans
the nominee for Lieutenant-Governor all it
other candidates are, in the strictest party
wane, Democrats. Of the State Central Coin
jailtee appointed, more than two-thirds are
active intiubcrs of the Democratic party, Aud
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, ; SErTEMBER 18; IgCG.
-t-
InfbA whole action of the Convention,! in its
ticket, its platlorm, it speeches, and its grncral
tone, it is difficult to detect any further rogard
for the principles declared and the actionl teken
tt Philadelphia, than to shown In the purpose
to use them for strengthening the Democratic
party and restoring it to power. There are
thousands and tens of thousands of Republicans
in this State who long for the restoration of the
Union, and who demand that it shall be ctfeoved
by a loyal adherence to the letter and spirit of
the Constitution, and by the admission to their
seats in Congress of loyal men from loyal States,
who can take the oath prescribed by lawJ But
they will be quite likely to prefer taking their
chances of securing this result from the action
of the Republican party, modified as it maybe
by reflection and moderate counsels, rather
than seek it In the way marked out for them by
the Albany Democratic Convention.
Mr. Johnson's Leaning!.
Front the tribune. ,
Mr. H. J. Raymond states the substance ot
certain conversations he had months since with
the President, wherein the latter assured him
that he did not mean to desert nor to prostrate
the party that elected him. We have heard of
similar assurances given to others. We cannot
deem thee words calculated to outweigh noto
rious facts. Let us set forth one or two more:
Our State Convention last year showed a small
but dm Weed-Heward majority how obtained,
matters not to the present purpose. Of that ma
jority, Mr. Raymond was the organ. He drafted
and submitted the platform, which was sur
charged with admiration of and devotion to
Johnson. The ticket nominated was mainly
made of men presumed to be fceward or Johnson
men.
And yet that ticket received no evidence of
sympathy from the President. Custom-house
and other Federal officer were forbidden (very
properly, we think), to assess their subordi
nates lor the support of that ticket, as they are
not now forbidden not by any manner of
means to assess them for the support of the
Hoffman ticket. Great efforts were made to
evoke from Mr. Johnson a letter evincing his
preference for the success ot this ticket ; (we
believe Mr. Raymond went to Washington on
this errand); but all to no purpose. Mr. John
son allowed himself to be claimed as favorable
to the Democratic ticket without a word. Nay,
more; Mr. Montgomery Blair well known to
be an Intimate friend of the President as well as
of his policy stumped our State (in company
with John Van Huron) lor the Democratic ticket
and the Johnson policy, and we have heard that
he confidentially assured leading Democrats
that, if they carried the State, they should have
the Feileral offices.
Mr. Raymond says that Mr. Johnson expressed
decided aversion to being surrounded by noto
rious Copperheads. Yet they did surround him
very soon after bis inauguration, and have
swarmed thicker aud thicker around him to
this day. We need not call names, since the
fact Is notorious. Some of them would require
that a boot be reinforced by a kick where their
room was preferred to their company; but many
wouia not. xcttnese men naa, and sun nave,
the private ear of the President. We must con
clude, therefore, that Mr. Raymond has given
credit to words that were belied by deeds.
A Second Great War lu Europe Threat
encd. From the Tribune.
Our special despatches from Europe deserve
serious consideration, for they come from a
source which is worthy of trust. They are not
sensational, nor unfounded; we arc satisfied
that the tacts we give are entitled to almost as
much credit as if they were official.
The news is of extraordinary importance. The
peace which the world thought to be permanent
is threatened with speedy destruction, and the
danger comes from defeated and prostrate Aus
tria. But a few weeks ago the Austrian empire
was at the mercy of Prussia, and was ready to
abandon everything for peace. It was fully un
derstood that there would be no difficulty in
regard to the cession of Venetia, and that with
that gain Italy would be satistied. Austria now
ia false to the treaties made, to a degree which
Blsmark has termed insulting, and for which he
threatens immediate war. It is but a question
of hours whether the Prussian army moves
again upon Vienua.
We are not willing to concede that another
war is inevitable, even upon the authority of
these startling facts. Europe should be satis
fied. Prussia has gained enough. Italy has
guined enough. Austria has lobt enough. There
is but one of the great powers concerned directly
in this struggle which could have any reason to
desire a renewal of strife, aud we do not hesi
tate to predict that if Austria bad seriously re
solved to make impediments to the cession of
Venetia, it ia at the instigation of Prance. Upon
no other hypothesis can the sudden boldness of
this ruined power be explained. Louis Napo
leon has good reason for dissatisfaction with the
adjustment of the late war, and his demand for
the cession of Prussian and Bavarian territories
was met with an emphatic refusal. If then
Europe is again upon the verge of war, there is
every reason to believe t&at t rance will be one
of the combatants.
The Way our Foreign Policy Hag Been
fctui Should he Managed.
From the Herald.
It can hardly be said that we have ever had
a foreign policy, except that enunciated as the
Monroe doctrine, and that has been abandoned
of late years. The power and dignity of the
greatest nation have been lowered and trailed in
the dubt at the assumption and dictation of other
and weaker nations. England, France, and
even lesser powers defy and overreach us. For
this amiable trait we are complimented by those
who in their hearts have no good feeling
towards us. The London Horning Fost, the
oigan of the British aristocracy, "warmly
appluuds the policy of non-intervention of the
United States m the affairs of South America,
and cordially approves tne moderation evinced
by us in regard to Mexico." No doubt it ap
proves also of our suppression of the Fenian
raid, and ot our quiet, submissive conduct with
regard to the Alabama claims. This is all very
natural; for it suite the views and policy of
England. These praises from those opposed to
our Government, institutions, and progress,
ought to raise the question. "What have we
uoue iiiui uut cucuiu-b jruibu us r" rney are
suspicious, and suouid stimulate au inquiry
as to me ii-uarncier auu venoency of our
toreigu policy.
Bv the same batch of news by which we are
informed ot these commendations from England,
we are Informed, through the Journal des Da.
bats, of Paris, ' that the French and English
Governments have conjointly made an active
representation to the Sultan of Turkey against
the acauisition bv the United States of an island
in the Gulf of Oslna." We do not know whether
our Government ha9 been negotiating with the
Sultan for such an iwlund. It would be reasona
ble enough lor the United States to endeavor to
obtain an island m tnat part ot the world as a
depot of naval stores and a coaling station for
our navv, whether tt has entered upon any ne
gotiation or not. We do not want territory tor
anv other nuroose. We should not. like France
and England on this continent, attempt to es
tablish a nolitical influence.
It we have desired the island spoken of it Is a
very modest desire on the part of a great naval
and commercial country. But it appears that
even this is resisted oy two 01 tne neirii-u ana
haughtv monarchical powers of the Old World
Suppose we were to conduct ourselves In tbo
same manner toward these powers, what would
be the result? Why, we should kick France out
ot Mexico, nolens volens. and let the remans or
our own people overrun Canada, and then annex
it without more ado. That is what wo should do
if we followed their example. They could not
help themselves. Neither power would venture
to go to war witii the United States ; for both
combined could not begin to penetrate or make
an impression upon tun country,
it Is cvldeutly time that the moderation for
which we are praised should cease. It is time
that we fcUould liuve a vigorous, and letro
foreign policy, worthy of the dignity and great
nets of the republic. That is now the role for
the United States to take. In that wayonly
shall we obtain the respect due to us. There
is no need of raising questions to accomplish
this object; Ihey already esK The Alattama
claim, Mexico, Canada, and other subjects
afford ample scope for such a policy. Let the
Administration at Washington take up these
questions with something like the ability, deter
mination, and firmness of Bismark in Prussia,
and then the nations of Europe will regard us
in a different light. Thev mav not be so ready
to praise us for a humiliating moderation; but
they will respect us for our courage and power.
What does President Johnson say to this? There
is a way open for him still to make himself
popular by raising the country to that pinnacle
of honor among the nations of the world to
which it Is entitled.
The Policy President Johnson Should
Now Pursue.
From the Herald.
The breach between Congress and the Presi
dent, which has created much bitterness of
feeling, while there to little difference between
the conservative majority and himself; makes tt
necessary that he should raise other questions
of public policy and take a new line of depar
ture. Judging from the signs of the times, wo
conclude that the people of the North are going
to sustain Congress in demanding the guarantee
of the Constitutional Amendment from the South
before admitting member from that section to
take tbeir seats. The end will be the same, and,
as we said, there is little or no real difference
between Mr. Johnson and the majority in Con
gress, setting aside a few virulent Jacobins who
call for more blood, confiscation, and other hor
rible measures. But there is a laucied difference
and much bad feeling.
Now, our advice to the President Is to let this
matter alone in the future. He has done his
duty and all in his power to restore the South.
Let him. now take up our foreign policy, the
Alabama claims, Mexico, and other questions,
and elevate the character of the great republic
in the eyes of the world. Mr. Seward, with his
trimming, timid policy, must be set aside. He
has served his day. The dignity of the country
demands another sort of policy a sort of Bis-mark-Prussian
policy at the present time. An
immediate settlement of the Alabama claims or
a lien on Canada is the first question. Then the
regulation of the destiny of Mexico.
The President should also take up the import
ant matter of our national finances. Let him
call the ablest men around him to advise him
on this question. A thorough remodelling of
his Cabinet, a vigorous foreign policy, and an
able financial policy will touch the popular
heart and make his administration successful.
Every one believes him honest aud patriotic,
notwithstanding the ravings of the ultra radi
cals, and by taking a fresh and vigorous course
upon new measures he may be master of the
situation.
The New Organ of the Radicals.
From the World.
The Hirald, within the last week, has flung a
complete summersault, and, with the blustering
sseal of a new convert, is daily urging President
Johnson to capitulate to the radicals, and give
np the country to their tender mercies. So sud
den a conversion might justify invidious suspi
cions; but as it is not our habit to make charges
without proofs, we will not impugn, nor at pre
sent even inquire into, the motives of this
change. Suffice it to know that the Herald is
the must active, insidious, andveuemous enemy
of the Democratic party and the conservative
cause. It is tor the Democrats of this city to
say whether they will contribute to the support
of a paper which has so often flung one arm
around the neck ot the party only to get a
better opportunity to deal It a stab under the
filth rib.
Even supposing it to be true, as the Herald
alleges, that the Maine election has rendered it
probable that the next Congress will be radical,
it is quite certain that the conservatives will not
give it up without a strenuous contest, and that,
come what will, they will stand by their princi
ples. The Maine election ha9 in no respect
changed the character of the issuo. between the
Tiesident and Congress. If the Constitution
was on the President's side before, it to equally
on his side now. If the public good required
the triumph of his policy before, it equally re
quires his triumph now. To ask the President
to succumb, because the conservative canvass
in Maine was not well managed, maybe spirited,
and logical, and courageous in the estimation of
the Herald, but it is not in the estimation ot the
Democrats. Tbey despise the levity and scorn
the treachery of a journal which deserts to the
euemy the moment the enemy presents a mena
cing front.
We are aware that, in arraigning the Herald
for inconsistency, wc run the hazard ot making
ourselves ridiculous, by the respect which is
implied in the supposition that consistency and
regard lor character are virtues of which that
journal has auy appreciation. But the Demo
crats ot this city have some regard for these
virtues, though the Herald has not; and we ask
them to go back for a week or two, and recall
what It fit"? beep Baying up to the time of its
sudden change:
From the Herald, September 8.
Wa ronfldentlv look forward, as the result of
all those movements, to the extinguishment of
the radical Republicans as a politioal power,
anu to iuc cituuuu lu iuv ucai uuiwo ui tut.
who are opposed to all destructive principles.
and in tavor ot tne immediate, complete, auu
unconditional return ot our Southern brethren
into the great national family. Then and not
belore will the nation resume its onward course
to continental power and unexampled greatness.
.from the Herald, September 8.
We mav take It as a settled purpose, therefore,
of the radicals, in the event of their success iu
these lall elections, to impeach President John
son, first electing some such reliable fanatic as
Sumner or Wade President of the Senate, to
become President for the time being with the
removal of Johnson. What then? Then we
may look out for such a reign of madness, fanati
cism, terror, and contusion as will hurry us
headlong to the gull of bankruptcy and ruin,
financial and political, Union and Slates, North
and outn. mis is the danger which now
threatens us. This is the issue which honest,
patriotic men are now called upon to meet in
view of these approaching State elections a
violent revolution at Washington, or a peace
able maintenance of the Government and the
Union at the ballot-boxes of the Northern States.
Honest men ot all parties, with whom the Union
and the Constitution are paramount, cannot
hesitate in such a contest to stand bv the good
cause of the Administration, and its simple and
patriotic policy of Southern restoration.
From the Herald, BepUmber 7.
The country is now upon the eve of terrible
dangers. The Northern Rebellion has developed
its purposes, and it must be as sternly sup
pressed as the Southern Rebellion ought to
have been at its inception. The radical p'018
which we have long since exnoseJ are now
openly avowed. Speaker Tremain, at the Syra
cuse Convention, announced that the radical
programme was to exclude the electoral votes
of the Southern States fi-om the next Presiden
tial election, to remove the President if he ob
jected to tbis exclusion, and to march a radical
army through the South if any resistance were
ottered to this course. The delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention fill up the outlines of
the plan sketched by Tremain, and assert that
President Johnson must be got out of ihe way,
either by impeachment or assassination, aud
that a negro insurrection must be Incited to still
further cripple and weaken the South. The
extracts fiom radical papers whioh we
publish elsewhere are full 0f the; same
diabolical language. All these threats are
ominous of trouble. Should the worst come
to the worst, we do not fear the issue,
because we know that the loyal, putriotlc, and
conservative men cl the country are in so vast
a majority that they will be able to crush the
radicals at once. But are we ready for another
uvjl war at Qur own. doors? ) the prosperity
of the country to be again checked and the
safety of ' republican institutions again im
perilled ? Are onr streets to run with blood and
our houses to be transformed into ptlvate
arsenals ? The bitter experiences of the past
fonr years will be exceeded if the radicals carry
out their revolutionary projects. Then the
worst miseries f the war were reserved for the
South ; but in the new rebellion they will be
brought to our own firesides. The only way to
avert this catastrophe is tor the people to ad
minister to the radicals so overwhelming a
rebuke at the polls this fall that all thoughts of
insurrection will be abandoned as futile The
ballot-box fortunately precedes the bayonet and
the bullet. Let the people take care that In
this case it shall also supersede these weapons
of death. i
From the Herald, September 8. i
It is evident, therefore, from the spirit aud
manner in which the radical campaign against
the President hi conducted, that if it should re
sult in the election of another radical Congress,
we may look belore the expiration of the next
session oi tne present Congress lor tne remuvm
of Andrew Johnson from the White House,
through his indictment by the House of Repre
sentatives and his Impeachment by the Senate,
with Chief Justice Chase in the Chair. Then
we may look for such a reconstruction of the
government as will save the people' any lurther
trouble in its regulation short of a sanguinary
revolution. This is the danger which is now
looming np in bold relief. How to it to be
averted ? It can only be averted by the election
of a conservative Ifouse of Representatives in
place ot the present radical one. A diminution
of the radical majority to less than two-thirds,
under ordinary circumstances, would be a great
victory; but something more is required against
the two-thirds majority in the present Congress,
which meets again in December. We want such
a verdict from the people of the great Central
States for the Fortieth Congress as will intimi
date this still existing Thirt.v-ninth Congress,
and bring U in subordination to reason and to
nubile oninlon.
The country Is in dancer. All the radical
movements ot the day. all the signs of the times,
are ominous of mischief, from the "irrepressi
ble conflict" between a radical Congress and a
conservative Administration. " From the pre
liminarv caucus of the last session of Congress
down to this day, the wrath of the radicals
against President Johnson has been rapidly pro
gressing from bad to worse, until the alternative
of his imneachment. which was first suggested
for his intimidation, is now proclaimed a delibe
rate purpose. All disguises and pretenses of
reconciliation aro at leugin cast asiue, ana iue
radical faction may now be considered as boldly
in the field upon the issue of the impeachment
of the President, who has failed to serve them
The dangers of which so lively a picture is
given in these extracts, were expected to result
trom the success ot the radicals in the approach
ing Congressional elections. And now, the fact
that the radicals have held their own, and re
elected all their members of Congress in a New
hngiand Mate, is regarded by the Herald as a
reason why the President should strike his
colors and beg for quarter ! If the radicals carry
out tbeir intention of impeachment, the Herald
win nound tnem on. it tney exclude tne
Southern States from the presidential election.
the Herald will say it is right. It is only a week
since that journal offered to support the con
servative cause if the Albany Convention would
nominate General Dix. But the nomination
of General Dix would not have changed the
result of the Maine election. It the result in
Maine is a sufficient reason lor abandoning the
conservative cause, how would the Herald
have kept its promise had General Dix been
nominated ? One of its arguments is, that it is
better to submit to the inevitable. But it the
Maine election proves that the radicals aro re
solute, do not the recent speeches of the
President equally prove that he is inflexible ?
Can anybody who knows anything of Andrew
Johnson suppose that after the language he
has used during his tour, he will eat
his words, crouch before the enemies he has
defied, violate his conscience and his oath,
and surrender the Constitution which he de
nounces Congress for flagrantly violating?
Surely the South will not ratify the Constitu
tional amendment so long as the President
stands bv them. The tendenev of the Con
gressional policy is to embitter that sec
tion against the radicals more and
more. The ten excluded States will
steadily refuse to ratify the amendment, and
Kentucky, as is lound by ner late election, will
as steadily support them. There are, then, at
least eleven States which will not ratify; these
eleven will, in any event, prevent the adoption
of the amendment until the number of States is
increased irom the present thirty-six to forty
four. No radical majorities will shake the de
termination ol these eleven States. The radi
cals do not expect, nor even hope, that the
South will ratify the amendment. The Herald
can have no expectation that the advice it in
trudes upon the President will be taken. That
journal is doing Kb best to aid the radicals in
electing the next Congress, and thus help them
carry out their incendiary projects of Impeach
ing and deposing the President, excluding the
South lrom the Presidential election, and plung
ing the country into the horrors of a new civil
war.
