Senator Conkling, as Prosident and poet lanreate of the late Syracuse Convention, pre- sented it a highly colored fancy sketch of the wonderful achievements of the immaculate republican party. He says:—“It came into existence instinct with progress, humanity and literty ;” that “it was a party of ideas, not of privilege fora few, but of human rights for all;” that when it came into’power in 1861 “the republic was almost extinct, the Trea- sury was bankrupt, the army was surrendered, the navy was scattered in distant seas, the Union was in form dissolved, traitors sat in the Cabinet and in Congress, a traitor pre- sided in the Senate, a dupe of traitors held the Presidential chair, dissatisfaction was everywhere, and half a continent was in revolt. Such a predicament had never been known in the experience of nations. Was restoration possible? The kings and the cabinets of Christendom said no. Our political opponents said no. The foes of liberty and its timid friends said no. The republican party said yes, and moved calmly‘forward.” Now, while the condition of the country in 1861 is here fairly stated, the glory which Mr. Conkling awards the republican party, in trampling down impossibilities, in recreating the government, in conducting the greatest war of the century, and in liberating four mil- lions ef slaves, and so forth, belongs to the loyal masses of the people of the loyal States. In 1861 there was hardly a show of organized opposition in the North to Mr. Lincoln’s ad- ministration; the rank and file of the demo- cratic party, with the republicans, were merged into the great Union war party. Our leading Union generals, regulars and volunteers, were drawn from the old democratic party; and Tammany Hall was as active as afy Union league club in mastering regiments of volunteers for the war. From the ter- rible disasters” of the Union armies in 1862, the democratic party, m New York, for example, took bold ground for “a more vigorous prosecution of the war,” and the ro- sult was the election of Horatio Seymour os Governor by ten thousand majority. Penn- sylvania also turned right about face, and had the democracy held fast to that war piat‘orm they would doubtless have been charged wilh the duties of carrying through the war and the work of resteration. Down to the fall elections ef 1862, at all events, the republican party charged with the conduct of the war had failed, in the judgment of the people, to give a satis- factory report of profit and loss, But from that point the “peace at any price” follies and blunders of the democratic copper- head leaders, and Abraham Lincoln’s emine!- pation proclamation, and the victories of Grant and the great triumph at Gottysbarg, brought over the loyal masses of the North into an active support of the republican party against the democratic copperhead cry that the war for the Union was a failure, and that wo must havo peace at any price. So it was that the loyal masses of the North, with lavish offerings of men, money, means and facilities of all kinds never before known in the history of any people, carried through the administration, Congress and the republican party, to the sub- jugation of the rebel States and the abolition ofslavery. And yet, under republican man- agement the war was the most exiravagant in its expenditures and the most wasteful in men, money and materiale of any war since the Florida war of Van Buren, in which forty millions of money were squandered in reduc- ing less than a thousand Seminole warriors. ‘The trath is that as the vital elements of the republican party were drawn from the old democratic party, so have the spoils and plunder proclivities of the one been ‘transfer- red from the other. But what says Mr. Conk- ling? He paints the republican party as an angel of light embarrassed in its path to the millennium, obiefly by Andrew Jobnson, an ange! of darkness, Ail our present troubles are by Mr. Conkling strapped upon the back of this convenient scapegoat, Andrew John- son. There is, however, another side to this picture. The republican pariy has been faith- less to its pledges and to the will of the peopte. It presented to the people last year as ite platform of reconstruction the pending constitutional amendment, Jeaving it to the re- spective States to choose between suffrage and reprosentation on the one hand and & Te stricted suffrage, with a corresponding loss of exercises, It touches every issue in a gingerly, timid manner. It is gingerly on negro suf- frage; gingerly on impeachment; gingerly on Sunday laws and prohibition, Master Conk- ling should have been soundly whipped, stood in the corner with a fool’s cap upon his head and sent very early to bed without any supper, for making such 8 silly address. The platform should have been indignantly scouted and kicked out of the Convention by every radical delegate who possesses a spark of boldness and manhood. seeks to obtain control of the government in negro supremacy in ten of the States of the Union; while the ticket to be formed at Albany next week will represent the opposition to all these dangerous and revolutionary notions among the whole mass of the people, without distinction of party. This will be the great absorbing point upon which the contest will tarn; and although the republicans are laboring to conceal the true isso under a republicans have beea for some years the most powerful, The democracy, as an organization, sition state, and only serve asa nucleus for the swallowed up ia the next Presidential election. But the republicans will lose this fall the votes of all the thinking business men, who foresee the ruin that awaits the country if the violence and intemperance of the radical Congress should be suffered io proceed unchocked, while driving it to destruction. willing to submit to a negro government will adbere to the radicals ; those who beliove in a California and in Maine will make itself felt Tepresentation,on the other. That platform, by overwhelming majorities, was approved from Maine to California. Why was it, thas endorsed by the people, abandoned by Congresst Because the party in power thought it had secured the power to do , and because it thought that with the establish- ment of negro supremacy in the South, in ad- dition to an overshadowing moneyed oli- garchy in the North, its reign of power would be indefinitely extended. Upon these great and momentous issucs the people in these coming Northern elections will have to decide. Mr. Conkling brings forward Andrew Johnson as his stalking horse; but these are the dangers which are behind him, negro supremacy in the” South, in the place of the old slavebolding oligarchy and a despotic moneyed monopoly in the North, compared with which the old United States Bank and Andrew Jackson and Van Buren’s pos banks were more bagatelles as agents of corruption, inflation and revulsion. Mr. Conkling’s tancy sketch of the republican party will not do. They will have to meet this test of their own delinquencies before the people, and hence Andrew Johnson asa seapesoat will no longer avail them. The Opening of the Campaign—Politics in the State and the City. The political fires are beginning to blaze up all over the State, and everything gives promise of s very warm contest in the Novem- her general election, as well as in the charter election which follows in the city of New York one month later. One of the parties, the re- publican’, have already placed their candi- dates in the fleld and given thema sort of platform to stand upon. The other, the demo- crats, meet next week to make their nomina- tions and to announce the principles upon which they desire to go before the people. So far as the candidates are concerned, they amount to very little, for no one except a few expectant appointees for a handful of beg- garly subordinate offices cares what individu- als may be chosen to fill the posts of Secretary of State, Canal Commissioner, State Prison In- spoctor or any other position in the State gov- ernment. The places are insignificant, poorly paid and with very small patronage attached, and really are not worth the acceptance of any active business man. But the issues to be decided at the polls are of vital importance to the welfare of the country, and to these alone the attention of the people should be directed. The platform of the republicans, as enun- ciated at Syracuse, is a very diluted, cowardly, fraudulent affair. It is as wishywashy and worthless a8 the trashy speech delivered by Master Roscoe Conkling at the opening of the plainly out that the republican ticket nomi- nated at Syracuse represents the party that 1868 by the aid of a moneyed oligarchy and ridiculous hubbub about Andrew Johnson, who is, in fac!, their most useful ally in putting the South under negro domination, the people well understand it, and will vote intelligently upon it in November. In the State there will be but two organiza- tions with candidates in the fild. Ot these the amount to nothing at all. Thoy are in a tran- formation of a great constitutional party by which they are certain to be absorbed and the democrats will seeare the aid of all who desire to unite next year in a great constitn- tional movement to rescue the country from the bands of the mon who are recklessly Those grho are white man’s goverament will go with the opposition. The reaction already seen in more distinctly in New York, and, the party that links its fortunes with the tremendous bubble of the national banks, the supremacy of the negro, and the sumptuary legislation of the Puritans, will assuredly go to the wall. In the charter election in the cily of New York affairs wit wear a different aspect. Hore there will be no division and no issue upon national questions. In place of two organiza- tions fighting a square battle for and against & moneyed oligarchy aud negro supremacy, there will probably be three candidates in the field for Mayor, and all of them @mocratic. While in the general election in November New York city will roll up her sixty thousand majority against the negro party, in the De- comber charter election this majority will be divided between some threo anti-negro candi- dates on local issues alone. The chances are that John Anderson, ® storling, independent democrat, and an honest, upright business man, wilt be in the ficld against Fernando Wood and Jobn Hoffman, also democrats, but ma- chine mon and old stagers in politics, Between Wood and Hoffman the race will be tolerably even. Their qualifications render them a very equal match. Both have beea rogalar office seekers, and both have suffered defeat once or twice before. Both are eminent Tammany politicians ; both possess very elegant man- ners, and both woar fac mustaches, although of such differeat colors as to rendor it easy for the voters to distingui-h between the two.

Roscee Conkling’s Speech, with Notes and Comments. Mr. Roscoe Conkling, United States Senator from New York—naturally a very great man in the republican party—made #Bpeech in the republican Convention which was naturally a very great speech, In this spoech the Senator presented himself to the small politicians gathered af the Convention as a very Triton of the minnows in knowledge, sagacity and roar- ing rhetoric. Like another eloquent man, he “roamed with old Romulus, soaked with old Socrates, and ripped with old Euripides ;” but what is most remarkable in his speoch is not the schoolboy fume and fustian of his sen- tences—not even the evident requirement of the orator that people should look at him very hard because he was doing something-wonder- ful—but the skill with which he managed to steer clear of the ‘truth in every fact he pre- tended to state. He can rattle this prattle out of his mouth, no doubt, as the fellows in the pantomime do blue tape, in illimitable quan- tity, and we may safely say that there wouldn’t be two inches of truth in ten miles of his “elo- quence.” He aid that the republican parly was & party of honest administration and economy of public money, while no fact of modern times is so obvious to * the world as that the party now in power is the most corrupt. and extravagant party that ever was in power—the most shame- less in its support and encouragement of public robbers, No more impudent falsification was ever put in print than this orator’s pretence that “the republican party saved the country.” The people saved the country in defiance of all parties ; and at the very commencement of the quarrel the more defined leaders of the repub- lican party, such as Horace Greeley, wanted to let the Union go to pieces, It was only when the uprising of the people warped the party leaders—republican as well as demo- crat—that they gave up their partisan plans and accepted the people’s plans. Under the republican administration, says this sopho- morical ignoramus, “government was recreated and efficiently administered in all ite branches, impossibilities trampled down,” &.,&c. The trath is that the republican administration was the drag that prevented the proper progress of the war, and republican party jealousies and ambitions made all the delays that gave the rebellion its real life. The real history of the party in the early years of the war will show that but for delays of a purely partisan char- acter the rebellion might have been put down before the suspension of specie payments. . ‘The Fall Fashions. The general fall openings of the New York and Brooklyn milliners took place yesterday. The weather was fine, and the display of bonnets, cloaks and dress goods completely bewildering. The ladies were out in strong force and made a reconnoissarice of the latest styles. The increase in trade this fall is a cheering prospect for merchants and mil- Imers, and their stock is more extensive and varied than ever before. Every establishment of any note has laid in an immense supply of goods for the season, encouraged by the bright indications that appear on the business hori- zon, There are but few changes in fall fashions this season. The principle that “ revo- lutions never go backward” is carried out in dresses. The reign of crinoline is over, and its dominions, like those of the Pope, are con- siderably reduced in size. Bonnets, after being driven forward on the head by the ad- vancing chignon until there was danger of those feariwily and wonderfally made head- pieces falling over the nose, have thrown up & rampart as a barrier against the encroaching chiguon. This rampart the modistes call a dia- dem. The crowns are somewhat larger than the microscopic affairs of the summer. The fall cloaks will be adorned with trimmings or figures that look like hieroglyphics, propo- sitions in Euclid and Japanese official docu- ments. Altogether, the fall styles are very original and striking, and the ladies will have plenty of occupation to select the most be- coming for themselves, After fromer with a Sharp Stick. Homer has had as many imitators as trans- lators, but the last of the adventurous band in- cluded inthe former class is Senator Rozcoo Conkling, President of the late radical con- vention at Syracuse. His speech on that oceasion was an epic, with the radical party for its hero, which was evidently intended to rival the famous Iliad of Homer. The great bard of Greece sang in blank verse; so did the Syracusan bard, Roscoe. Homer sang of the ten years’ war of the Greeks and Trojans. Conkling eang of the six years’ war of the radi- cals, In another column we give his speech ‘done into blank verse. It will, no doybt, be recognized as one of the finest epics of modern times. Homer found eminent translators in Pope, Byron and Karl of Derby. Who knows but Conkling’s epic will find some translators into the Choctaw or Japanese tongue. If it does not, it will be from want of perception and judgment in these unenlightened nations. Sena- tor Conkling is after Homer with a sharp stick. The Republican Party. “Bofore a party deserves lasting confitence it must do-more than triumph in elections. It must manifest genius for administration and capacity for government equal to the occasion it accepts.” Those words are in the speech de- livered by Mr. Conkling, United States Sena- tor, at the Syracuse Convention—the only sensible words in it. Suppose we try the re- publican party by this standard. Ite capacity for government is to be seen in the terrible failure of its reconstruction policy, that has kept the country in disorder for the two years since the end of the war; its capacity for ad- ministration is to be seen in the fact that there is not a single department that is not fall of Callicots. According to Conkling, therefore, this party must give way for a better—even “Goakling's salve” can’t save ik TF Blection in Louisiana To-Day. The negro suytemacy views of Congress will be carried into praci:*al effect in the State of Louisiana to-day. Froit arly dawn this morning until dusk to-morrow three thousand semi-savages will g@ up to the polls, led by unprincipled white men, a4 by sheer force of numbers sweep from power th? wealth and intelligence of the State. The | thirty-five or forty thousand whites who have been permitted to register will, we are told, content themselves with simply depositing their votes “against s convention,” thus pro- testing against the execution of a political doctrine they had no power to avert, and the success of which they feel assured will entail irreparable injury upon themselyés and their posterity. The call for a convention having thus been carried by the negro hordes, let us see of what material the convention itself will be com- posed. Nota prominent Louisianian will be there ; not @ man of standing in the com- munity. The republican nominees, who will certainly be elected, stand as four negroes to three white men—four illiterate, semi-bar- barous negroes to three white adventurers, This, then, will be the composition of the convention called. to frame a constitution for the State that gave a Taylor for Prosident of the United States. Is not this entire thing utterly revolting? Can we of ihe North paia- tably swallow so gigantic a fraud upon right and so beastly a caricature upon buman lib- erty? Forty-five or fifty negroes assembling in convention to do—what? To prrform an act of the very meaning of which they are most ludicrously ignorant. And whoare their assistants? A handful of white men, whose very course in consenting to euch an affiliation stamps their characters as being thoroughly worthless, There is one instinct which cannot be eradi- cated from the mind ofa white man, and that is, the succor and supremacy ot his race above all others. Prejudice against color is but the natural instinct of the superior against con- tamination, and, try what theorists may, the barriers which caste (in that sense) has erected, can never be broken through suc- cessfully, Th: present farce in Louisiana will be successful for a while, but the signs of the times too plainly indicat» that the hour is approaching when it and all other kindred dogmas will be swept away in the torrent of public indignation. We cannot stand quietly by and witness the debasement of our own race in Louisiana. California, Connecticut and Maine have already rebuked the effort at negro supremacy before its practical effects have been seen. And we tell the radicals of these United States that their cheers of joy at the success of their dogmas in Louisiana this day will be answered back by the people of the loyal North, in October and November next, in such tones of indignation and disgust as will inform the world whether our recent war was fought for the preservation of the Union, or for the exaltation of the negro and the ensleyement of men of our own color. National Histery. tion of the country at the commencement of the war. It is a good idea from a United States Senator. “The republic was almost ex- tinct,” yet it loaned to s corrupt government more than two thousand millions of dollars, and supplied nearly two millions of men for the defence of its liberties. _ The Italian Question, Our news for the last few days relating to the situation in Europe has been exciting in. the extreme. ‘Yesterday there was quite a panic in Wall street. It was felt and admitted on all bands that the balance trembled be- tween peace and war. The conviction, too, was general that if by any chance the flames of war were lit the conflagration aan scarcely fail to become European in its sions, Garibaldi’s plans for the present have been frustrated. It is questionable, however, whether, by the im nment of Garibaldi, the chances of war have diminished. There are many points of view from which this question may be looked at; but there is only one point of view from which it oan be clearly and faliy seen. It is a Roman ques- tion in a sense greatly larger than that in which it is ordinarily accepted. In the range of ita influence it is coextensive with the bounds of the ancient empire rather than with the limits of the once imperial city. It is a question of the Latin races rather than of the citizens of Rome. The movement which Garibaldi attempted to head is, no doubt, primarily Italian, but it has its counterpart in Austria, in France, in Spain, in Portugal, in Mexico, in the various States of South America—wherever, in fact, the so-called Latin races exist and predominate. Itisa ‘question partly religious and partly political— in some aspects, perhsps, more religious than political; in others more political than reli- gious; in the one domain it involves the right of the individual to liberty of speech and ac- tion. In the other domain it involves the right of the individual to liberty of thought and feel- ing. Thatliberty which was achieved at the Reformation by the German, Scandinavian and Anglo-Sexon families, has yet to be achieved by all those races whom Latin eryn oe woeliel: The Reformation was not it promise even to them, but the opportunity was lost. The French Revolution furnished an- other opportunity, but it failed to secure for them complete emancipation. The various at- tempts which have since been mado by the different Latin communities to shake off the incubus which weighed upon them, mentally and physically, sbortive as all of thom hitherto have been, have at least revealed the fact that the atruggle for freedom had not been abandoned. It would cortainly have been strange if this last wave of revolu- tionary fecling which has swept over the world, and the influence of which has been felt in the best governed countries, should not have awakened those Latin communities into a little newness of life. We have had murmurs in France, insurrections jp Spain, and flibustering in Italy. Not one of these, however, fs rich in promise, This fresh oppor tunity may pass away, and emancipation may be indefinitely postponed. Much, in fact, as we desire to see those nations free, it is dift- cult to believe they aro yet ripe for freedom. The dosire for liberty no doubt exists, bat as soon athe goddess appears she is stifled in the hoaso of hor friends. To put it in another form, there is not yot sufficient unanimity of bayonets of France, it must ultimately triumph. The immediate issue is largely depedent on the conduct of Napoleon. It is no longet por sible to doubt that he is ambitious of pla;*ing the part of a second Charlemagne. A secon’ Charlemagne, however, is no longer possible. The réle is long since played out If tho attempt is vigorously made, the result most natarel to be looked for {s the death of Napoleoniem. Tho tide which has set in is too mighty to be resisted even by the strength of this modern Cesar, Conkling on the Republican Party. Mr. Roscoe Conkling, the head boy im the republican class, has odd ideas of the repub- lican party, He says it was “born of the emergencies of portentous hour” about tem years ago; that ithad no platform to inveat, being already “inspired ;” that it was “in stinct with progress ;” that it came into ex- istence six years ago; that “in 1861 it ao- ceded to what was once the government of the United States,” which it found in @ dilapidated condition, and which it forthwith proceeded to “save.” This is as pretty @ piece of history as the story of the Sevem Swabians, or Jack the Giant Killer, and fust as true. The republican party came into exist ence on the “higher law” and “irrepressible conflict” tumult, It had its first success in the first election of Mr. Lincoln, and its last, for thet event gave rise to the war. There was an end to parties. The people rose up and put the par- ties to one side, and saved the nation without respect to party lines. Men of all parties wero. equilly in earnest. Republicans held office, and democrats too—only there was a distinc- tion here: republicans became provost. mar- shals and managed the draft, or revenue col- lectors and stole the money, while the demo- crats went into the army. There is not» sin- glo great soldier of the country, there never was a corps commander in the Army of the Po- tomac, who was not a democrat before the war. This is the way the republican party saved the country. 5 A Now Tenor in Italina Opera. About forty years since the grand opera of ‘Othello was given at the Park theatre, with Bignof Garcis in the title rile and Malibran as the gentle Desdemona. Both were imperso- nations rarely witnessed in opera. Shak- speare’s wondrous creation of the jealous, pas- sionate Moor has seldom found a more fitting representative than Garcia. The fiery, pas- sionate nature of the son-in-law of Brabantio was powerfully and faithfully portrayed. Gar- cia’s voloe was a tenore robusto, full of passion and energy, and his acting may be compared to that of tle elder Kean in the same rile, A fitting,companion picture in characterization was Malibran’s Desdemona. Nothing could be more artistic and life-like than ber delinca- tion of the victim of frantic jeslousy. And her glorious voice, which will ever ring in the ears of the hearers, seemed to us the very acme of the vocal art. . On Wednesday night the same opera was presented at one of our theatres. A new tenor named Pancani was the Othello; and had Garcia been present on the occasion he would have had no fault to find with his substitute. The new Othello is an admirable actor, and thoroughly enters into the spirit of Shakspeare’s great creation. He has voice of considerable - power and dramatic expression, and in the more delicate passages he displayed artistic feeling and thorough training. He completely identified himself with the character, and united the rough, blant nature of the soldier with the jealous devotion of the husband. But where was the Desdemona of Malibran? The Desde- mona on this occasion was one of the forty prime donne of the present Italian opera troupe, and the rest of the cast was made up of the twouty tenors, fifty bassos, and the other minstrels and fiddlers of the company. There is one remarkable feature regarding the new tenor. The other papersindulge in _ lengthy comments on the opera; but they seem to be in s muddle when they come to speak of Signor Pancani. Their efforts to give an idea of his voice or acting are similar to the proceedings of “a bull in a china shop.” ‘They do not know what to make of him. They are so accustomed to fifth rate tenors that when they meet a thorough artist like Pen- cani they can only speak of him as curiosity. They speak of his “ by-playand noble mean- ing ;” but bis dramatic power and delicacy of expression are they know nothing about. The advent e tenor as Pancani ig an event in the annals of Italian opera in this country, and may be of benefit to the forty prime donne, twenty tenors and fifty bassos, who are quite in « flutter about this terrible rival. We hope his example will do this long abused department of the lyric art some service and elevate it to the position it commands. Republican Economy. Mr. Roscoe Conkling holds up “retrench- ment and reform” as one of the legends of the republican banner. Callicott, who is a very good specimen republican, is also in favor of retrenchment end reform, and “some financial management.” Not less than « hundred repub- lioan revenue officers have stolen millions of the government money to the same tune. Evon, Thurlow Weed was always dreadfully in favor of retrenchment and reform. The national banks are republican institutions that also be- lieve in retrenchment and reform, ani they . lend the government money at three hundred and fifty per cent interest. 7 ————S o.
