New York State Nominations.
The Conservative State Convention
of New York, In session at Alhuny on
Wednesday last, nominated Hon. John
T. Holl'iiian, Demoontt, for Governor,
and Hon. Hubert H. Pruyn, Kejiiibll
tian, for Lieutenant Governor. Mr.
1 tollman wus nominated unanimously,
hy aeolamatlon, and Mr, Pruyn ruoelvod
two-thirds of all the votes east outlie
‘final ballot.
We print below what two of the lead
lug Journals of New York city (one
Dumoeratlo and the other lleiiubllean)
say about these nominations i
From Lhu World, (DumoomtliM
The oundlilato for Governor needH no
formal introduction either to the people
of this city, or the people of the Stute.
John T. Huffman, though still a young
man, has been for mauy years known
to ouroltiv.eiiß asone of the most upright,
estimable,disereet,able, patriotic, popu
lar, and rising men among us. Until
his election us Mayor, he was chiefiy
known, out of social life, as a jurist and
magistrate. In that character, he was
distinguished for fidelity, fearlessness,
suavity, and for that strict regard to the
proprieties of his position which befits a
minister of justice. Though always a
staunch Democrat, he so bore himself In
his judicial office as to extort, again and
agaiu, the homage of men of different
politics. They never mentioned his
name, either m print or conversation,
without markß of respect. Mr. Hoff
man's independent anu patriotic course
dutipg the war was, in particular, a topic
of universal praise in the Republican
newspapers, not only here buttbrough
out the country. 11l the responsible
office of Mayor, he liuh been equally up
right and equally fortunatei The honest
vigilance with which he has guarded
the public interests, and the unquailing
promptitude with which he has defeated
by his vetoes corrupt or questionable
projects, have brought him Into still
higher credit, with citizens of all parties
than he had previously enjoyed as a
judg-e. In short, Mr. Hoffman is one of
the most esteemed, popular, rising, and
discreet men In the country.
All the other men on the ticket are
equally admirable for the several places
for which they have been nominated.
Robert H. Pruyn, the candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor, is a distinguished
citizen of Albany. Under President
Lincoln’s administration, he held the
honorable post of Minister to Japan,
from which he not long ago returned.
He is a gentleman of character, ability,
and statesmanlike accomplishments,
which would grace any office in the
Btate government.
William W. Wright, of Ontario
Oounty, the nominee for Canal Com
missioner, Is excellently fitted by past
service In connection with the eanalß,
as well as by honesty, business capacity,
und sound economical principles, for
tile position to which he Is to be elected.
The nomination of Frank B. Galla
gher, of Bulfalo, for Htate Prison Inspec
tor, is a fitting reognltlon of those ardent
and iudominltable friends of free gov
ernment and sound Democratic princi
ples, our IrlHli fellow-citizens. The
Convention desired to put upon the
ticket the man who would be most ac
ceptable to the Irish voters of tho-Stato,
and It ran no hazard of mistake In tak
ing the gentlemen who presided over
the Fenian Convention at Troy. A
man who hue received this recent mark
of honor and confidence from Ills com
patriots, is a candidate whom they will
be proud and zchlouh to elect.
The ticket ns a whole Is very strong ;
especially strong in the ability, integ
rity, and high standing of the candi
dates ; -strong in popularity ; very strong
in tlie vote it will command In this
city; and strong in flic State, There
has been no ticket nominated by, any
party within the memory of man which
stirred such enthusiasm, whloh inspired
suoli confidence, or will poll so prodi
gious u vote, as will bo given to this
ticket in this oity, The glowing and
affectionate praise bestoweuoii Mr. Hoff
man yesterday in tho Convention, by
District Attorney Hall,merely expressed
the common sentiment of conservative
men in this great metropolis. We as
sure our friends in the rural districts
that the home of Mayor Hoitoan will
nobly do its part; we beg that they,
with equal spirit and vigor, will do
theirs.
Prom the Times, (Itopabllcim.)
John T. Hoffman had been nominated
for Governor by the Convention at
Albany. He is a gentleman of ability
and eminent purity of character, and
his course during the war was patriotic
and unexceptionable. We do not think
that he will command as large a degree
of public confidence and support In the
pending canvass as Gen. Dix would
have done, but this is a matter upon
which a very wide difference of opinion
prevailed in the Convention. It was
urged, and with a good deal of force,
that as the City of New York and its
immediate vicinity would contribute
moßt largely to to tlie majority against
■ J the Syracuse ticket, their preferences
oughtto be consulted in the selection of
the leading candidate on the ticket, and
this view of the case prevailed in the
Convention. ■
Mr. Hoffman is a gentleman to whom
no possible exception can be tnkeh on
persona! grounds. That many Repub
licans who cannot assent to the extreme
doorines of the present majority in Con
gress, would have preferred to vote for
a candidate less distinctly presented as
a Democrat, is very likely.’ But Mayor
Hoffman gives his unreserved assent to
the, principles and polioy of the Phila
delphia Union Convention, and will be
elected, if he is elected at all, not as a
Democrat, but as the representative of
the .sentiments and measures which
were that, Convention.
Robert H. Pruyn, the .candidate for
Lieutenant uovernbr, was l formerly a
Whig, then a decided Republican, and
isi'iiow h fcealous advocate of the policy
of‘/promptly, restoring ] the Union, by
admitting w ,t}ieif sehts in Congress,
loyal representative,from loyal States.
He has ability, great practical, energy
and a very large fljrftflejpif pplitloal expe
rience. ''

Organizations' In New York-~Prepara
tlonsfbr the Itty KeVdlntlon.
[From the JTfcw York World.)
It will be remembered that two col
ored regiments left this city during tire
war, fqr the field. Only a portion of
these organizations returned here.
About a year since It was proposed to
some of the officers of these regiments
to form battalions from the old mem
bers, in order to preserve the memories
of their associations on the battle-field.
The rank and file declined to encumber
themselves with the fatigue of military
manoeuvres, driUs and parades, and the
enterprise was abortive.
Abohjt a month Blnce, however, a
similar movement was inaugurated
under, more favorable circumstances.
A number of black military officers met
and resolved toorganizeabrlgadewhose
members should be composed of those
who had seen service. A notice was
subsequently circulated among the
colored veterans of the city, many of
whom responded to the call.
TUB HEADQUARTERS IN BLEEOKEB ST.
Although the proposed formation of
a brigade was desired to be secret, those
who had charge of the organization
hired a hall in a populous portion of
this city for the purpose of drilling the
members. They selected as a rendez
vous for the martial blacks under their
command the uppermost floor of the
building corner of Bleecker and Mor-
ton streets.
The hall chosen for the purpose Is
one peculiarly appropriate for secresy.
In fact the whole building has a mystic
look, for Its rooms are oooupled by
secret bodies from the second landing
to the roof. Let us describe our adven
tures last night when wo ascended the
edifice to reach the nunc,turn sanctorum
of the African Mars.
The private entrance is on Morton
street. After passing a colored officer
who stood at the door, we proceeded
up stairs to the sixth story, where wo
alighted on a shaky lobby of narrow-di
mensions, on the walls of which ap
peured u lrtbel Htutlng thut Odd el*
lowh met here. On proceeding further,
however, through the passage which
opened to our view, we beheld the fol
lowing military order:

Wc proceeded to the hall, but wo were
mot at the door by two intelligent color
ed men, who stated thut they hud orders
to admit only mouiberH of the organiza
tion. in the meantime, the steudy
tramp of men on the double-quick
was heard from the inside, and occa
sionally the sounds of the soul-plerclng
drum, as evoked by u negro corps, who
timed the steps of their sable brothers,
rendered the march inaudible.
oirit REPORTER ADMITTED TO THE
The sentinels at the door were ex
tremely obliging, but they turned for
some time a deaf ear to the applications
of our reporter to be admitted. At length
the coveted privilege was conceded, and
he found himself in a large room front
ing on Bleeoker Btreet, with an audience
of some sixty blacks, all awaiting the
arrival of their colonel. It should be
here stated that this was only one
company of the "Protection" regi
ment.
STATEMENT OK THE NECiKO COLONEL.
A colored gentleman here introduced
our reporter to Colonel Hawkins, who
waa one of the black officers of the 31st
United States colored infantry, which
left this city during the war. The colo
nel, who is bland and communicative,
made the following statement in reply
to the questions of our reporter :
The company of the black regiment
then in the hall, he said, was a portion
of the “Protection Union Guard,"which
had recently been formed. They had
met for a month past for the purpose of
drill, and among the members were
many who had been in service during
the late war. No one but colored men
were admitted to the organization.
At this point the colonel was somewhat
reticent, and the annexed dialogue en
sued i ,
Reporter— What is the object of the
organization ?
Col. Hawkins—lt 1b the Protective
Union Guards.
Reporter—But will you please tell me
itß object.
Colonel Hawkins—lt is only to revive
the military associations of the wnr ; it
is merely for amusement, to enable such
of our people as may desire it to par
ticipate In drill exercises. We hail in
tended to ask the State to recognize us
a militia regiment; bnt 1 see, by a ref
erence to the constitution, tnat only
white male citizens can avail them
selves of the privilege. Our regiment
will be similar to the Hannibal Guardß,
which had a parade In the city In 1848.
Reporter—Are there other regiments
in process of formation ?
Here a colored gentleman who sat
next the colonel answered :
Yes, there are three others organizing
In different partß of the city.
A (IRAND COLORED PARADE.
Reporter—Can you tell me the names
of the officers ?
Colored gentlemen-7-I don't know
them. / _ .
Reporter—When they first ap
pear in uniform ?
Colored gentlemen —Well, I can’t tell
you. We hoped to have a display this
month, hut I suppose we can’t. I Bhould
like it myself, but I'm afraid tho regi
ment won’t be ready.
Reporter—What uniform do you In
tend to wear?
Colored gentleman—The uniform of
the regulars.
AFRICAN UNION LKAOUKS FORMED IN
EVERY WARD,
Reporter —Well, wlieu will you
purade? „„ , ,
Coli,red gentleman—lhe Loyal
Leagues wanted us to escort tliem
through the city on the 24th of this
month; but I'm afraid we won’t be
Reporter—The Loyal League In Union
Square, do you say ?
Colored gentleman—No; our own
Loyal Leagues.
Reporter—Wnen were they formed !
Colored gentleman—A long time
since: we have one in every ward in
this city. Mr. Ray and Mr. Day, and
other men, are members of our leagues;
they are all to parade on the 24th ol
September.
THE DRILL.
The sound of the half-dozen drums
here Interrupted the conversation, and
notified the “niggards ” to prepare for
drill. Colonel Hawkins immediately
opened a copy of “ Hardee’s Tactics,
and the men began to form line, with
out muskets. Our reporter was here
notified to withdraw by a colored gen
tleman near the door, and he at once
left.
—A planter of Sumter county, Ala

although but temporarily * over this ah- >
semblage of .patriots atui. heroes -the i
tjruo defenders of/their country and the ;
Union. Be assured it will ever pe re
membered and/appreciated as the thost >
precious incident of a long military
flateer. The objeot ofthlß great millta-
Jy convention, if I. understand it cor
rectly, is to consider the principles
enunciated by the National Union Con
vention at Philadelphia, and the resto
ration policy of President Johnson. On
these subjects I would simply remark
that the sooner Congress recognizes the
States, declared byamajorltyof Remem
bers to be out of the Union, as constltu-.
ted parts of the Union, and admit their
Joyai representatives to seatsin the halls
of Congress, and permit them to par
ticipate in the national legislation of
the country, the sooner will be allayed
the tears and apprehensions of the peo
ple of the dangers which again menace
the peace of the country and the pros
perity of the Union. With the most
bitter and vlndiotive feelings, a war of
words for thirty years was carried on
between the Northern Radical Abo
litionists and the slaveholders of the
Southern States. Everything was done
and said to promote and keep alive the
controversy, which Anally culminated
in rebellion in the Bpring of 1801. and
which, for atrocity, the BaorlAceoflaWs,
expenditure of untold millions or
money, the loss of property, followed
by pestilence, famine, and desolation,
lias no parallel In the history of nations.
Tills bloody and desolating oontest was
in-ought to aoloße in the spring of 1805,
when the rebels, unable longer to oarry
ou the wur, surrendered with their
armies to our gallant Generals Grant.
Sherman, and others. The rebel
ai-mleß wore permitted, under parole, to
return to their homes and there await
the orders of the United States Govern
ment, the officers and soldiers of their
armies pledging themselves to become
true and faithful supporters of the Con
stitution and the laws of the United
States. Such were the terrible results
of a four years'war, ouused by the In
stitution of slavery. A few days after
the surrender ol Lee anil Ills army
President Lincoln was assassinated,
Tills utroelous crime, greatly mourned
by the nation, placed Andruw Johnson
In the Presidential chulr. His election
was hulled by ucelainatlon throughout
the land ; ami this, ton beoausoofhls
lovoand devotion to Ills country, and
his bold ness while Senator of the United
StateH 111 udvouatlug the preservation
of the Union, lu opposition to every
other Southern Senator. Few men.
North or South, weresubjectod to great
er sacrifices on account of patriotism
than Andrew Johnson; and although
plundered of htH property and driven
from liis home, he returned agalu, and
by his indomitable energy and perse
verance, with other patriotsof his State,
reclaimed Tennessee from treason and
rebellion. This bold and daring friend
of the Union can be_no traitor. Strange
as it may appear, he was denounced as
a traitor, and threatened by the Radical
members of the Republican party with
impeachment. It may be asked with
propriety what has President Johnson
done that he should be denounced as a
traitor, and threatened with impeach
ment? Is it for anything more than
the exercise of the most noble and gen
erous efforts to conciliate and bring
hack lnlo the folds of the Union alirave
people, and make the United States
what they should be, a united great
people. It ought not to be forgotten
that slavery, which engendered the re
bellion, has been removed. Your slaves
had been declared free by an amend
ment of the Constitution. Those of the
Southern States most interested in the
abolition of slavery, which deprived
them of a large amount of what they
called property, and which they consid
ered all Important to their Interest,
quietly submitted to the amendment.
Those who prepared the amendment
omitted to guard against what would
follow. When too late It was discover
ed that the freeing of four millions of
slaves would increase the Southern
representation in Congress from twen
ty-Ave representatives to thirty.
This was to be overcome lest
the abolition Radicals should lose their
control of the Government by an act of
Congress another amendment of the
Constitution. Falling In their efforts,
all that bitterness of feeling has been
revived which existed for thirty years
between the Radicals of the East and
North and the Southern slaveholders.
Another civil war la foreshadowed un
less the freedmen are placed on an
equality with their previous masters!
If thlH cannot be accomplished, Radical
partisans, with a raglug tlilrst forblood
and plunder, are again ready to Invade
the (Southern States, and lay waste the
oountry not already desolated, with the
sword in one hand and the torch in the
other. These revengeful partisans would
leave tholr country a howling wilder
ness for the want of more vtotlms to
gratify their unsatiable cruelty. If they
should succeed In lnflloting on the coun
try another war, It would be more ter
rible than the ouefrom which we have
just emerged. It could not be confined
to the Southern States, but would ex
tend itself the length aud breadth of
the United States, and only end with
the overthrow of the best government
ever devised. If such should be the fate
of our republican empire, the cause must
not be sought for In our military oamps,
but In the forum thronged with inflam
matory orators aud aspiring demagogues
with souls dead to their country’shonor.
anil spotted with corruption. I need
not tell this great assemblage of officers,
soldiers, and sailors—most of whom
have been engaged In many perilous
battles, defending their country’s honor
—that war Is a great evil, and the great
est thut can befall any country or peo
ple. It haß ever been the curse of
nations, and the cause of all the op
pression imposed on the people of Eu
rope. If you would guard your once
free, happy, and prosperous country
from oppression and oppressive taxeß,
beware now you encourage war and
allow demagogues, who, for trafflo or
revenge, would drench their country in
blood. The loss of liberty commences
with oppression, and oppression follows
war. The United States as conquerore
can afford to be lust and magnanimous.
The brave are always merolfuland gen
erous. As President Johnson said, we
have had war enough. Let there be
peace! Remember that the recent re
bellion, engendered by Radical abo
lltionlsts and slaveholders, leave the :
Northern States with more than a hun
dred thousand pensioners, besides thou
sands and tens of thousands of widows
and orphans to weep over the graves of
tbelr protectors and the defenders of'
the Union. Yet there are those among
us who are notßUfflciently satiated with
blood and plunder, and cry for more
war. in conclusion, I would callifpon
■ you—officers and suilors—to stand 1 by
i the Union, whiohlna warof fouryeatß,
. when blood flowed in torrents, by your,
I gallantry and indomitable persever
