4 CITY POLITICS. The Repudlican and Democratic Conventions— The State of Parties—The German Element, Thoir Status and Demands—The Execu- tive Contest—The Mayoralty and the Fight for the Spoil: “Music in the Air.” i} | "The political fall campaign of 1870 is fairly entered | on, The first in the field ts the republican party, | which holds its State nominating convention at | Saratoga on Wednesday next. The village of springs | would be indeed a well chosen convening place for the party if its waters had any healing power over the diseases that have so long afiticted that body | politic; but this 1s not the case, and, in any | event, the waters, before they ‘could be rendered | palatable t the palates of the New York delegates, would have to undergo such a weakening, or rather | suengthening, process, that all healing virtues would be “spirited” out of them. At Saratoga, however, the convention meets to make such prepa- rations for the campaign as circumstances will dic- tate. The preliminary work of selecting delegates and alternates was perfected in a much quieter and | more orderly manner than could bave been expected from the chronte state of brolls and tumults which, | for so long @ time past, has characterized all the | ‘neetings of the rival republican committees, H THE DEMOCRATIV CONVENTION. | ‘rhe Tammany magnates have selected Rochester 4s the placed for holding the Democratic State Con- vention, and the 2ist insiant asthe date. As usual everything will be cut and @ry and the convention wil be in fact a mere affirming body of the slate made out by the regency. One or two aelections may be left to it, but the fat for the nomimation to the principal offices on the slate will be submissively ac- cepted, There canbe no doubt but Tammany will be entire victor in the campaign. It 18 @ united power—having unlimited command of the sinews: of war and complete control of all the m- struments of success, Some sporadic efforts will be made by the remnants le(t of the democratic unton party, the workingmen’s party, and the few surviv- ing braves of the young democracy, to stem the torrent of full and fudisputable victory, But these «forts will but more clearly tend to siiow the utter ‘lemoralization into which these organizations have tailen, The only element of strength they could hope to rely upon bas been aimgst entirely swept “way from the wood-be leaders by the astute policy of the iramers of the preseat city charier. The pow- ers that once wielded the fierce democracy m every ward of the clty, irom the Battery to Harlem, have been Ceprived of thew streng and the spells | which im their hands were once so poteut wrested | trom them. There i8 no longer a chauce for the heads of the rough and tumbie elem to dictate terms and make conditions which gave them so | dangerous aa eminence mi thie political contests of the past, and rendered the elective franchise a delusion and asnare. Whate party may rule in tuis city under ihe present improved order of things mast aul only rule through tie free votes ofthe citizens themscives. rc NTA LEADERS DE- H ving interest that | had for our German | shave net overlooked take in tae coming po- umittees raised by dis- nd by mass meetings, | ent for Ger- ir {ollowera | e commit- nding tne : thelr pol the isst ted, nan democrats are exerting a much 0 cS han their opponents, the German | ts even hoped by some, few, taat from this fe in so far as it 1s conurt ronger than | nd | tte | of clig Uupport oF th o has re- nuection so With. | ed with | city for | influence tn its councils tronaye, And | members | national between | ir suc | i tie repab ¥ to tne tarkt j ans, boble | in the | his the | Ligent | pal i a uiuiber of {i upon tue politics oF this | He H ery of the German publ to be | afraid oc this, and probably mnstructed, aa itis be- eved, by the wire-puile their party, are pegin- 10 prevent ik.

Mauy a vote will be given for democratic candidates from resentment against the power that prevalied in the war and crown its success by causing the emanci- pation of slaves, Though this feeling is weaker than it was two years ago, it has not yet diszppeared from our Southern country.

But we are told that it was Wrong iu the government to make such a bargalu, and we are told this by men on whose lips the Southern confederacy is the constant theme of praise.

The burden of supporting the government 1s Indispensable; the share which falls upon us in this country is heavy, compared wita what we onoe pald, but remember that the triumphant party in the great coniict shares with us the payment of that debt which we occasioned. Ought we to grude our share jf we really and in d faith §tuke an interest ay yoters and STheens in the governinent? We ought to be jealous tor that government's honor, we ougiit to be jealous: for that government's faith, we ought to be jealous for that government's rank among the nations. We ght to be willing to bear our share of the common burdens. ‘There ought, of course, to be as spect reduction of the debt as ts possible without too oner- ous taxation, pnd thai reduction is going on. Since the 4th of March, 1869, the debt has been decreased by over one hundred taitlions of dollars, a fact which answers a world of 2 ernment are sustained by the peopie in doing what they desire these reforms will continue, and the public debt will continue to be reduced also, nuinber is in fe or of Nberty and nationstity—a ma- oifice of The land Ulysses 8, Grant either to Jefferson. «Great applause.)

Within a few days some of the finest sacht races” ever sailed in American waters will have been de« cided, The season ts favorable, the contestants are m the very best condition, while the yachtmen themselves are animated by that nobte spirit which never fatis to render any pastime o brilliant success, ‘That the regatias at Newport this week therefore will far outshine anything of the kind ever seen in this country but Little doubt can be entertamed, The recent cruise of the New York Yacnt Club, marked ag it was by numerous exciting events, and ren- dered even memorable by the splendid runs made by some vessels, to say nothing of the few excelient private matches, CaBgol after all, be looked upon as the occasion of a genuine weak, Yachts are not thoroughly overhauled or put in their best racing trim for such pleasurable excursions, although it is aa- mitted that yachtimen are at ali times anxious to have their craft in good shape. But here, where réasonable notice has been given of a senes of regattas, where the circumstances warrant the ex- pectation of first class racing, where time has been afforded for the most complete preparations on all sides, and where, perhaps, the dormant feeling of honorable rivalry lias been keenly awakened, there 4s every reason to look forward to a grand yachting exhibition, The course to be sailed over 1s not only familiar to all yachtmen, but an extremely popular one with those who have salled over it. dt may be said without any exaggeration that the feet of the club was never in more splendid con- dition, Since the programme of the regattas was first arranged at Newport the most active prepara- tions have been going on. It was generally known that a grand test was at hand, and with that com- mendabdie determination almost amounting to en- thusiasm yachimen commenced the work of oyer- hauling. For it should be known that yacht owners are justly proud of their floating palaces, and although occasionally mistaken as to their capaci- ties, defeat at times only stimulates improvement. ‘The elegance, beauty and costliness of the Ne York Yacht Club fleet beara fuyoraple comparison with any gther on the globe.

Which has characterized our pleasure navy, the speed of vessels is still more im- portant, and is, in fact, the great aim of every man wy ee who builds a yacht, To that end onr enterprising yacht owners have spared nothing to attain te great object in view. For the past week or so nearly every yacht in the squadron intending to com- pete has been either slightly alter or improved. The greater portion of the flees came to New York, and saiimakers have been actively en- waged in furaishing well fitting canvas to the vari- ous crait. Some of tie yachts were placed on the ways order to be cicancd, In fine, all the vesseis entering on the great yachiing campaign this week have beea placed in the best order, and atl in antici- pation of achieving hovors, And while there un- doubtedly exisis a commendable ryairy between the members of the New York Yacht Club addi- tional interest is lent to the approaching exhibition oW! to the fact that the Enghsh representative yucht will Dave pel s the best op- portunity of testing her qualities. ‘Thore ls no doubt that the occasion will be exceedingly Inieresung, not only to those who immedigicly participate in the contesis, but to the community atlarge.
