The Republican Party and the Approach. ing State Elections. The republicans of this Commonwealth meet in State Convention at Syracuse to-mo: tho purpose of homin: platform. From the design of the perty leaders in tho Consti nal Convention to put off the test quesiion of negro suffrage till spring we guess that th acuse assem- @ will also postpone this issue to a more convenient season. That the party leaders and minagers throughout the country are alarmed in refereace to the approaching elec- tions in Ohio, Penvsylvania, and New York, cannot ho doubted. Their apprehensions are betrayed in their explanations of the late results in California and Maine, aud in their appeals to each other and their followers everywhere to cast aside all personal disputes and all side Sang WW 3s.

The Times of this city, which, since its daring adventure into the Philadelphia Johnson Convention, has been on the back track to the radical camp, assures its readers that the late elections furn'sh no evideuce of a political renetion; that no siens of such a thing can be found anywhere ; that the republican fines remain intact and unshaken; bui still it appears there is danger from extrancous issues, and that the republicans must not suppose that the power which they hold cin be prolonged without an effor/. Now, we hold the ground that the elections of this year, beginning with that of Connec- ticut, indicate that the tide is on the turn, that in last year’s elections the republican party reached their topmost high water mark, and that in abandoning the sound and popular platforms upon which those elections were carried they are all advif. If they fiad their new ultima- tum of universal negro safMfrage uphill work, even in Ohio, and if tiey find ii convenient to evade this question for the presentin New York, it is because they are losing the public confidence in their late departures from the line of policy laid before the people, and ap- proved by the people, from Maine to California, in last year’s elections, and with an emphasis unparalleled in our political contests. As, however, poor Pierce and the democratic party were carried away to desiruction by their vanity and folly in consequence of their great triumph of 1852, so the republicans appear to have concluded from their successes of 1866 that their power had become too great to be disputed and that they could do anything that pleased th A few little es have served not only to remove this vain conceit, but to satisfy the eadors that as matters now stand before tho people there is no reliance to be placed in last year’s republican moajovitios of fifteen, twenty, thirty, forty and fifty thonsand, since, by default, if you ple a California majority o{ twenty thousand has been frittered away, and a majority in Maine has been reduced from twenty-seven thousand to eleven thousand, on a lirge total voie, in asingle year. We hold that such results on both sides of the Continent at the same timo indicate tho existence of some general and pervading causes of republican apathy and demoralization, and a general reac- tion in the drift of public opinion which for- shadows the near approach of a great political irmis! nal quarrels and jealousics, restrictive liquor laws and Sunday prohibitions of cider and lager beer, will not serve as explanations of these late republican losses; for it is apparent that the samo apathy pre- vails in tho party ranks in Pennsylvania and everywhere else that has been de- veloped from Connecticut to Maryland. The true explanation lios in the departure of Con- gress from the platform of Southern reconstruc- tion submitied to and approved by the North- era States, and in the substitation of the ex- treme radical programme of universal negro suffrage and negro supremacy in the South. Ifence the radical hue and cry of impeachment avainst Andrew Johason meets with no en- couraging responses from the rank and file of the republican party; and hence the radical design of worrying General Grant out of Johnson's Cabinet has signally failed. Southern reconstruction, it is seen, under the present laws of Congress, is sure to place the control of ten or eleven df the Southern States in the hands of the ignorant and credulous blacks who but yesterday wero released from the darkness and degradation of Southern slavery. } Naturally enough, thinking mon, in looking to | the probable consoquonces of this startling re- y four political system, recoil from the vtenod danger. Herein, we contend, lics the secret of this reaction against the party in power ; and from Penasylvania and Ohio we } expect In Octob-r some evidence upon the | subject which will satisfy Congress Itself that, broad as aro the requirements of the revplution connected with the abolition of slavery, It has still i's motes and boundaries, beyon’ which it is dangerous to ge thr ThoMexien financial question appears to be as dificult to solve as Has been tho revolu- stiomwy problem. The latter, happily, has reached daylight, and there is hope of perce. Still, there is much depending upon the ability of the Mexicana to support themselves until such a time as their financial system, turned into vigorous channels, will give them sufficient fonds to mee! tie expendivures of the govern- meat, Thd posmga of their goyernin-nt to- day is, flnancially, simisr to yoat it was just previous to the ajlied invasion, At zat time, 80 exhausiive had been the rule of tug diff ran: parties in power, there was absolutely nothing loft with which tg carry on the government, from day to day. Of the revenues roceived upon French imporis but eight per cent was available for government use; while upon English imports all but twenty-five per cent had been pledged for payments to foreign bondholders, Those pledges still remain, an! Mexico comes into her new life saddled with a ecove of treaties which hamper her ox- chequer. Efforts have alrendy -been made with our Congress, by those inte-ested in restoring the Mexican finances to a healihy condivion, to have us grerantee a Mexican loan of fifiy mil- lions of dollars. No direct application has beon mae to us for aid by the Mexican gc ernment; but the parties in‘erested fancy tht we, Don Qu'xote like, are williag, in our reck- less extrav gance, to look about t e world for opporiubites io do battle for others and prop them up by an extrs issue of grenbacks, Tho. Mexicans nev.r esked us for money even in the darkest days of their misfortune — ev when their gove.nment was driven to our Rio G f catier, We can eoureely in cign’ proffer them a service which they r from us, and which, w re we to offer, they might r Jn a practical view of the ques- tion it would be folly for the Mexicans to addie thomselyes with a debt to the United 8, for of the proposed amount they would probably not receive more than twenly miflions, It is well known that of the fifteen millions which Mexico was to receive for the Cal fornia and Arizona pur- chase, not move thin five millions over reached the Mexican Treasury, Were we to pour into Mexico the results of a fifty million loan, it would be tho worst thing we could do for our republican neighbor. The money would not list two years, and at the end of that time what would be the support of a people who had beon taught that they must not look to their own resourcos, but to foreign aid, to maiotain their government? If they have not the elements within themselves to regenerate their government financially, then thoy are’ a people alvesly past resuscitation ; and whatever money we might lend to them would only bo tho first step towards taking posseesion of their country. The guarantee of & fitty million loan by our Congress mears additional corruption at Washington and the annexation of Mexico. We lave a great interest in the prosperity of | Mexico, for we are so closely linked with her geographicaily that much of our future pro- gress depends upon her advancement. Henco it is unwise for us to do any.hing which will retard her from eecking within herself the means of national salvation. That she pos- sesses all th: elements for selfrestoration there is no question, She has them, too, in at least equal ratio with (he United States, when con- sidering the relative population of the two couniri The Mexican silver mine: alone have yielded, through tho worst wars, not less tian thiriy-fve miliions annually.

They have wisely saved the goose tha! lays the goldon egg. This silver product may be increased enormously, and with peace mig’ three years reach one hun- dred million dollars.

Total... § To this we may adA acknowledged capital- ized claims and unpaid interest, which ewells the tobal to $91,952,875. Adding to this amouat the claims which exist in the United States, aud it may bo said taat the Mexican foreign debt to-day is about one hundred million dollars, The war claims of France we do not take into consideration, Mexico bas sworn to make war for a hundred years rather than pay them. As regards the English debt, Mexico yearly pays the interest through British perfiiy; for the Kagtis) men-of-war annually smuggle from the Mexican Pacifle coast amounts of silver which hove in single insiances reached five millions of dollars—as witness tho case of the British man-of-war Calypso a few years since, The true way for Mexico to setile her finan- cial question is to appoint some able financial agent to purchase her bonds at a low figure, and for these issue a consolidated bond, the interest upon which will be guaranteed by her customs revenues. The whole Mexican debt could be bought up to-day for twenty mil- lions of dollars, while Mexico could readily pay the intrest on two hundred millions of dollars and not feel it; of course, providing that her finances are well managed. Asa guarantee of their good management, the Custom Houses should each receive a supervisor to attend to the interests of the bond holders until the country becomes thoroughly setiled. The internal custom houses, which weigh like a curse upon Mexican progress, should at once be abolished ; and for the support of the State governments @ direct tax upon real estate should be imposed. This has never yet been done, although the Moxican constitution of 1857 provides for the former. Mexico is adler to-day to support her debt than is the United States. She has elements of woalth within her terricory which equal if not surpass our own. A stable government, and a wise administration of her financial system, will soon free her from all incumbrances. The problem can be best solved by her own states- men. If she, directly or indirectly, looks to the United States for support, it is tho best evidence of the inability of her peeplo to make use of the elements of prosperity which nature bas placed in their hands, and it betokens, moreover, the carly <(issolation of their nationality, ———_——————————— , SEPTEMBER: 24, 1867.—TRIPLE Radical Demoralizutiqn=-Tho vention, : The thorough demoralization of the radic: appears nowhere in a clearer or more ridicu- lous light than in the present position of our State Convention. This wonderful body has finkered away ell summer ata constitution, and it has one, at last, noarly complete. The Convention was a radical machine, and it made the constitution, of course, in the radical taste, filing it with all the extravagances of tho ultra leaders, and heeding not at all tho prac- tical requirem nis of our practic! people. Tt ia easy to undersiand how they came jo do this, Suscc9s had turned the heads of tha republicans, At the commencement of the war this republicad party scemed to tha people the one mos! idoniifixd with the national canae, and the masses therefore rallied to it to save the country. People did not like the pariy altogether, and did not like the men of which it was to some ext-nt made up ; but they over- looked minor points, with greater ones at stake, and joined handa round this party as o working organ‘zation to save the Union. fence it became groat. It behaved iiself well tor awhile, and the people began to respect it They even began to listen with some pitime to tho exirava- gances of the er feaders. ‘Tho rebellion was put down nd the republican party was disposed to bo moderate ii tiumph, Tho people kel this also. ‘Republicans put forword the wise amendment to the con tation, and the people gave it their suffrages with what almost seemed unanimity. Here the republican leaders began to jose themselves. They did not undersaMnd this: triumph. They suppesed that they were the nation; that they owned in fee simple all the magnificent vole on which they carricd the country; that they could do what they pleased, and owed no re pect whatever to the people. So each leader fel to saddling the party with somo vanity his own—one with prohibilory tariff, ano with compulsory tomperance, a third with sul- frage for women, while all the old abolition, nigver worshipping clique clamored that the only thing want.ng for the millennium was to give votes to the Southern niggers and take them away from the Southern white men, Just as each leader was trying to fasten his own great “idea” to the party principles the party began lo hear from the people again. ‘There c.me an election in Connecticut in which the republican voters stayed at home and per- mitted their ticket to be beaten. There came another in Vermont, in which the victory was far irom inspiriting ; enother in Maine, showing a great decrease in republican majorities; while far away Culifornia matched Connectiqut with positive victory for that som? tims unheard of thing, an opposition. Maryland showed the case oven more clearly. Her people voted on a consti- -tution made ina spirit very distinctly hostile to ali this nigger enffrage tendency, and it was seen tha! her republican voters would not de- clare against that constitution, but permitted it to be curried by a very largo majority. All these warnings have begun to open the eyes of the radicals, who supposed they owned the country, and now fill them with natural alarm. Their demoralization is most apparent in Albany. Radical leaders there hold ia their hands the constitution made this summer, be- fore their eyes were opencd—the constitution containing the whole radical scheme, nigger suffrage and all. It isa white elephant that they know not what to do with—an infernal machine that may at any moment blow them ali to pieoes. They have made this conslitu- tion, and they dare not submit it to the people; for it is a dead certainty thai to go before the people now with such a programme would be certain destruction, that it would revolutionize the State, and that the laat vestige of radicalism. would be swept away in a whirlwind of popu- lar vengeance. Worse than ail, it is impossi- ble for them to hide or even disguise their dilemma. To burke this consutution, as some propose, would be as bad as to present it; and to present it would bo evident ruin,—In their fright, in their consternation, in the general de- moralization that has seized upon these crazy leaders, is seen the corlainly of the triumph of popular ileas by a tremendous majority in our next election, The poople will not go before we accepted amendmont to the national con- ution, and the party taat asks their votes on that basis wil! win. A@aira in LTenty. T allan offairs have not yet eotiled down into a state which prom'ses to be permanent, Some ar doubtless of opinion that we have had Italy aud Reme and Victor Emanuel and Garibaldi ad nauseam. In spite, however, of our likings and dislikings, the world ro!ls on and the wheel of fortune turns up new results and creates new expectations. Garibaldi has made Victor Emanuel King of Italy; Victor Emanue! is, no doubt, grateful; Garibaldi bas made up his mind to make Victor Emanue! King in Rome, and we have little doubt that Victor Emanuel will be more grateful to Garibaldi than ever. Aspromonte was a sad mistake—a mistake as much, and perhaps more, on the part of the King of Italy as on the part of the ex-candle maker of Staten Island. It is a question wheiher Aspromonte will be repeated. * Our yesterday's telegrams relating to tho affairs of Italy wero interesting. Garibaldi, who has long been threatening war (in spite of the Peace Congress at Geneva), has at last proclaimed it, declaring that the time has come to give to “the Eternal City its ancient su- premacy as tho capital of the Italian king- dom.” Victor Emanuel has issued a counter proclamation, in which he forbids all Italians, under the severest pains and penalties, to take eny part In the movement against Rome, The Pope, again, denounces the Italian govern- ment for proposing to sell the Innds of the Church. We have thus a threefold difficulty. Victor Emanuel quarrels with Garibaldi and the Pope quarrels with both. It will not surprise us to learn that, in spite of a quarrel between Victor Emanuel and Garibaldi, and in spite of the feelings, of the Emperor of the I'rench, Rome has fallen into the hands of the Italian government. Victor Emanuel may be opposed to the course pro posed by Garibaldi or he may not; but Victor Emanuel is as anxious to have Rome for his headquarters as Garibaldi can be to give it Ko him ; and it is very doudt(ul if Loula Napolyon, will venture to interfere should Reme hu the mélée fall into the hands of the Italians. ‘The Ttalinns have no desire to do injury to the Petson of his Holiness or to detract feom the | dignity of his sacred offloe, If the Rope, there- fore, is nut unnecessarily stubborn, aa arrange: - SHEET. Stnto Cons | ment satisfactory to the Italian kingdom. ond Rot disadvantageous to the Holy See, may be come to before we are aware. It matters lake the turn which we aro disposed to believe they will take, another serious blow will have been given to the prestige of Napoleon. Yetlow Fever In the South. Tho Gulf States have boon s-verely scourged this fall by ono of the most terrible visitations ? Providonce—namely, yellow fovor. Evory mail and telegram brings the same sad futelli- gence of hundreds of victims being carried to their graves, and of the oxodus of those who | eacaped tho fearful malady, In Texas and New Orleans the disoase is most malignant, and the mortality 1s of & nature suificlent to strike terror into the hearts of the survivors. The proportion of suffzrers is, however, terribly on the side of Northern people living in those districts. That circumstance slone ought to arouse the sympathies of our capitalists, inde- pendent of the common feelings of humanity towards distrossed fellow creatures. If the real atate of the aufferings of the people of the Gulf States from yellow fever was laid before the public of the North by our healt authorities, and means of alleviating this distreas sug- gested, there would be, undoubtedly, an inslant and adequate answer givea by the me- at least, Let there bs a propor and responsible fund inaugurated and the real stuts of (be case laid before our people, and they goneroas, humane and noble feetings will at once respond to the call, The facts of tho case are heurtrending, Gur correspondent from Galveston says that the yellow fever has been decimiting that city for tho last two months, and that nine hundred deaths occurred from the end of July to the early part of tho presentmonth. Sixty-four died at New Orleans within the twenty-four hours ending at six o'clock on Saturday morning. At Morpus Christi, Indianois, Houston, and other towns, the mortalily is of the most fearful kind. ‘hese facts will suffice to arouse the sympathies of all in the Nor h, and they call for immediate assistance, Some of those cities resemble vast hospitals, and are deserving objects of com- misoration. Let aid be given them at once, and with unsparing hand. What ts Going Gn in tho South?—How Has the President Aided Reconstruction? The returns of registration in the South are sufficiently complete to establish the fect that the nogroes and their white sympathizers are ina majority in at least seven out cf the tea unre- cona:ructed States, In Virginia the whites are in an apparent majority; but it is not known how many of them are of the radical stripe, who, of course, will cast their lot and their ballots with their colored brethren. Throwing the radicals out ot view for the time, the question becomes interesting, How far has President Johnson aided reconstraction? Being lately called upon by ceriain politicians, for the pur- pose of urging him to reopen registration in the South,-he informed them that he “could not do so without incurring certain risk of impeachment, and admitted that the recon- struction laws confer on tie District Military commanders sole control over registration. His only power of interference was the re- moval of commanders whon they failed to execute the laws in accordance with his views of their legal construction.” There is the whole story in a nutsholl. It can be imagined from this how far the President has proceeded in his policy of reconstruction. He has, in reality, himself given the South entirely over to the negroes, and although hoe bas removod certain radical idols from their military positions, he bas in no manner effected a change in tho radical Congressional mode of reconstruction, nor ameliorated the rigors of the double star and shoulder sirap rule under which the white peopto of the South are laboring. Instead, therefore, of the radicals of all shades blazing away at Jobnson for his attempts to put in force his peculiar recon- traction policy, they ought to volo him a gold moda! for the aid he has contributed to their doctrine of turning over every unreconstructed Southern State into the hands of ihe negroes. He has done this beeause he could not help himself, and the radicals are acting most pre- posterously in abusing him for aiding them in carrying out their mischievous, irritating and abominable pians of recons!ruction.

Judge Reese claims that registvation is entirely optional and not compulsory, and Vecause a man who may bo otherwise a loyal citizen dio03 not register it is no reason why he should be excl aded from serving ona jary.
