THE GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN
IN NEW YORK.
The present Gubernatorial oampaiga in New
York is attracting great attention, not only
on account of the interest felt in the future
political position of the largest State in the
Union, but on aooonnt of the numerous
Charges and counter-charges impeaching the
personal integrity of the leaders of both par
lies which are made by Republican and
Democratic journals. If one-half these
Stories are true, the imagination cannot
easily conceive of anything more rotten and
rascally than New York politics. It was said
long ago that partisanship was the madness of
the many for the benefit of the few, but in
no age or country have snoh striking illustra
tions of this assertion been given as those
now presented in the Empire State and the
pothamite metropolis.
The Democratic candidate for Governor,
tlr. Hoffman, has heretofore ranked as one of
the most incorruptible members of his organ
Ization, and his general record as a man and
ft publio officer ip remarkably good. It is
alleged, however, that notwithstanding this,
outward show and common practice of virtue,
lie lives, moves, and has his being, politi
cally, as the puppet of William M. Tweed, who
in pronounced by the Republican journals, as
well as by a portion of his own party, as the
most daring of modern corruptionists, and
the most successful of the experts in the in
famous art of coining political
power into money. lie runs the
Tammany machine, is accused of arranging
the programme for the gigantic frauds by
which Democratic viotories are achieved, and
as a reward for these labors it is alleged
that he draws imperial revenues from the
City treasury and the plundered stockholders
of the Erie Railroad. According to the Re
publican view of Hoffman, his real business
B3 a Democratic Governor has been to play
the part of an accomplice to these gigantic
frauds, the fine speeches and high-sounding
professions of devotion to Democratic princi
ples which are made fromtime to time being
put forth mainly to insure the control of the
masses by a gang of greedy thieves.
The Democracy soarcely attempt to make a
Berious reply to these charges. Their chief
reliance in the campaign is the counter change
against the Republican candidate for Governor
that, while he was acting as Assistant United
States District Attorney at New York in 1801,
and while he was officially concerned in the
prosecution of the criminals accused of an
attempt to engage in the slave trade, he vir
tually became their accomplice under suspi
cious circumstances! This charge is sup
ported mainly by testimony elicited through
the exertions of a fellow official under Lin
coln's administration, the Republican United
States Marshal at New York, and it is part
of the defense of Woodford that this Marshal
Las been incited to this course through his
indignation at Woodford's successful opposi
tion to a scheme for confiscating stocks and
Londs held by Southern men, by which the
irate Marshal hoped, at one time, to make a
large fortune!
The result of the campaign in the State is
supposed to hinge, in a large measure, upon
the aotion of the Republicans of New York
city in local politics. If they vote Republican
tickets pure and simple, there is little or no
Lope of making an inroad upon the Demo
cratic majority. To ensure the adoption of
this disastrous policy the Tammany organiza
tion keeps in its pay a large number of the
members of the Republican General Commit
tee, who earn their wages of sin by pressing the
Republican masses into the service of the
omnipotent Tweed. . Notwithstanding the
fearless exposure of this despicable intrigue
by the Tribune and Timts, there is danger
that it will be repeated as shamelessly this
year as in former campaigns, and that the
New York city Republicans will thus be sold
out for a small share of plunder to the Demo
cratic robbers !
In the comparatively early stages of
society, gangs of thieves make direct war
upon the honest and industrious members of
the community, stealing money and property
wherever they can be seized by artifice or
force. This system has its disadvantages, as
it sometimes imposes undue burthens upon a
few victims, but it was at least more manly
and more courageous than the style of opera
tions adopted by the publio thieves of our
day who are making politics a synonym for
knavery, and who not only rnle New York
State and city, but exercise a potent influ
ence in too many other localities.
The President has issued a proclamation
reoommending that Thursday, the 24 th of
November next, be observed by the people
of the United States as a day of general
thanksgiving for the manifold blessings that
we, as a nation, have enjoyed during the past
year. Certainly, in view of the fearful con
flict now raging in Europe, the people of the
United States have good cause to give thanks
to the Almighty that they have been spared
from the devastations of war, that the arts of
peace have prospered, and that they have
been blessed with bountiful harvests and
many other evidences of Divine favor.
During the past year more has been done than
at any other period since the close of our
civil war to obliterate the evil emotions ex
cited by that conflict, and the nation now is
fast assuming such a position that it can ad-
vanoe, with ecarcely a fear of interruption, in
the great labor of subduing the fertile terri
tory that has been given it as its portion, and
in perfecting the great political system that
Las already become an object of admiration
and wonder to the whole world. . Thanksgiv
ing day, from being a Puritan protest against
Christmas, has become a great non
sectarian religious festival, . in
which all the innumerable varieties
of religious beliefs can unite upon a common
Is&su and return tnanks tor benefits that all
have enjoyed; and it is proper for the Presi
dent to designate a day of general thanks
giving, as 'it is for the people to observe it
with unanimity in the spirit that the procla
mation indicates when it says that "it be
hooves a people sensible of their dependence
on the Almighty publicly and oolUctively to
acknowledge their gratitude for His favor and
mercies, and humbly beseech for their continuance."
