Temperance and Cheap Transportation for the Million. Urica, N. Y., Sept 1873. There never was held in this State, peo voly in “the memory of the oldest political ant, @ fdamer convention than that which me o-day. There was no spirit, no life whatever in it, and, despite every effort made by the leaders to sur- round it “with an appearance of enthusiasm, from the beginning to the close there was nothing in either the conduct of the delegates themselves or in that of the 200 spectators who were seated in the galleries which lent for even a minute a shadow of enthusiasm to the proceedings. The why and wherefore of this it would, indeed, be hazardous ‘to attempt to tndicate ; but the fact remains all the same that, notwithstanding the presence of as intelligent a body of men as ever gathered together for a common purpose, there was everywhere a general feeling of gloom and discomfort. The fact ‘that the old Cus- tom Heuse slate, which was two weeks ago con- sidered such a dead certainty, and which was broken to pieces last night, may have had some- thing to do with it, although there .were scores of Custom House employés present, if not as actual candidates, at least as individual powers belund | the throne. ° ASSEMBLING OF THE DELEGATES, The Convention assembled at eleven o'clock, nd, as no order oF system to prevent others than delegates from occupying seats in the body of the house was adopted, before tne doors were open delegates and non-delegates were huddled together indiscriminately. ‘The hangers-on of the United States departmente in New York, who ‘Were sent up to Keep their shaky friends among the delegates from sinking in the traces, took ad- vantage of this circumstance to secure good places on the floor. Une of them, who was fear- fully and wonderfully intexicated, distinguished himself by occasionally interrupting the proceed- ings with remarks that had about as much todo with the general work of the Convention as the rumbling of the cars and the ehrieking of the steam whi tles in the street, which occasion- ally greeted the ears of the delegates. Of course it tell to the lot of Mr. A. B. Cornell, as Chairman of the State Central Committee, to call the Con- vention to order. The nemination of David J, Mitchell, of Syracuse, as \emporary Chairman, ‘which had been decided -upon eamy in the day, was then made. Mr. Mitchell's speech was in the usual strain of temporary chairman | addresses and was well received. At the close of the speech the usual routine business of appoint- ing the various committees was gone throngh with, and then came an adjournment to two o'clock. The adjournment was taken ostensibly for dinner, but in reality to allow the Gommittee on Resolutions to get ready to report, and for the Committee on Credentiais, of which John 1. Davenport was made chairman, to settle che little matter of the contested seat.of Mr. A. 8, Corneil from the Duane street (New York city) dastrict. On reassembling the formality of electing a per- manent chairman was gone thagitgh with, Stewart L. Woodford being the choice. Woodford had his speech carefully written, and he.read tt slowly and deliberately, emphasizing bere.a#d there words which he evidently believed would make the house come down. It willbe noticed that the speech deals generally with corruption, and is Only forcible on this particular poimt, where it refers to local matters snd municl- pal thieveries. The absence of all reference to the Crédit Mobilier frauds, and the “salary gtab” is equally noticeable. In fact many of,the delegates ppenly expressed their surprise at this feature of thé address, and deetared that for polt- , cy’s sake, at least, the grab ought to have been de- mounced, inasmuch as the democrats had prt | themselves 2s deep in the mire in that business ax the republicans, and atively denunciation of the grab would ht all round NOMINATIONS MADE EASY. ‘There was no excitement over any, of the nom- fmations other than that of Attorney General Strife or struggle of any extent whatever, announcement at the very start by his iriends, that the present deputy, Ansan 5.

The roll was finally catled after consid- erable skirmishing, and Benjamin D. Silman was eclarea neminated, the voie shenaing, Suliman, 232; Carpenter, 162.

B, Cornell, Chairman of the State Committee, Judge Rovertson, of Westchester county, nomt- nated Mr. David J, Mitchell, of Onondaga, for temporary chairman, He was unapimously chosen and was conducted to the chair by Judge Robertson and Mr, Batchelor, of Saratoga, On taking the chair Mr, Mitchell briefly ad- dressed the Convention as follows:— MR. MITCHELL’S SPEECH. GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—I return my sincere tuanks lor the honor you have conierred in calilog upon me to preside temporarily over your deiwerations, Ir is as gratifying to my feelings as it was unexpected, It mignt have jallen to many others more worthy, but to no one who could entertain a more lively sense of its duties und re- spons vilities, or who could share in & higher estimate of the principles and objects which have called us together, ‘the occusion upon which tais most respectable and patriotic assemblage has been convened is one ol deep interest and con- cern, We are met here to-day pot only to select candidates ior some of the most responsible onices in the State, but to indicate lines of policy tat shaliconiorm to the honest and earnest senti- ments oi the people and that suall contribute to the perpetuity of the republican ascendancy in the conduct of the gvoverpment in State and national affairs, 80 long, at least, as that party shail adhere to the wise maxims wh.ci Aave teretolore ruled its course. And you will remember, my friends, that we came here as the representatives of a party that emoodies unflincning advocacy of economy , retrenchment and reform in every direction. One year ago delegates met in this building to nom1- hate a ticket, having at heart these cardial ob- jects, and the jortunate choice then made was rati- fied by the people and becaine the instrument of wresting the State government trom the control of a corrupt and dangerous combination, There was then nominated a gentieman ior the office of Chiet Executive of the State who borne high the standard of the republican party as the emblem of truth and justice, Who nas held that stanaard as high as he did the American flag during the revel- nder him our state administration has been s. When this change was effected our af- fairs were going a downward course. It is not ne- cexsary to be'specific, but | cannot lorbear an allu- s10n to the profligate expenditure which augmented the State debt by more than $6,000,00), and which 1 congratulate you, gentlemen, upon the suc- cessiul adoption tinder republican management of @ More auspicious system Of administration, and it is our duty to-day to pursue tne policy which has been crowned witi) these beneficent results, Let us continue to act tor the best interests of the whole people, I desire in this connection to speak personally of the individual whose discharge of pubhe duty imparts consistency and unity to re- publican action, In the chief mayistrate of ths State, whose nomination within these walls was ratified by the popular voice, the people called into | belore and since for his antegrity, purity and hign sense oi honor. In the periormance of his duty he nas | gathered tresh laurels. The republican party have | aright to be proud of their relationship to one | who has Jully answered the requirements of the | times, and ‘whose official career has exv.orted praise irom sources most disposed to censure, Nor can I speak in less giowing terms of tue ad- ministration of the general government, Our standard bearer and our grea’ chiel, who led our | armies to victory m the cause of Union and tib- erty, has proved as eflicient 10 civil administration ashe was in that capacity which brought us at first to the Knowledge and appreciation of his abilities in aditferent sphere. ‘Ihe more we see of him the stronger he grows in the hearts of the people. His policy, seconded by able constitutional advisers and eloqueutly enforced by W YOrkK’s favorite son, is leading the country upward and onward to a higher and more glorious destiny. Let us not Jorget on this occasion what every patriot and lover of his country should torever bear in mind, that the insidious 1oe to republican | institutions is corruption. Let us prove by our ; actions here and elsewtiere that we are stecled against the enemy, and that we will tolerate its presence in no department of the government— legislauve, judicial or municipal. We owe this duty to ourselves and to our children, to the memory oi our fathers and to the cause of liberty throughout the world. I trust I may express the hope that in our action to-day we shall derogate in no respect irom tue ligh proiessions of the republican party. Let anspotted names be in- scribed upon the banners under which we march to victory.at the polls. Let our candidates be men who will see to Jt faithiully that tne people's money shall not be unlawfully taken from the treasury. I have po doubt that such is your inten- tion. There can be no question then th reference to the issue. A solemn duty rests upon tuis Con- Yention ;.an imperauve duty, for the reason that the skies are bright, and the ticket that shall be nominated by this spirit is sure to be triumphant in November. I say such a ticket must be success- jul, because it is plainly to be observed that our democratic opponents are a disabled and crumbiung mass, That faction, withthe taint of disloyaity upon its garments, cannot cope.with the republi- can party, wounded as it was upon the stern prin- ciples of right and se oIt.was in that faith that the war for the Union was car- ried on to a glorious termination. The power employed in that contest stiil exists, and cannot he overthrown, ‘The party that pronounced the war a Jailure has proved a failuve itsell. its shattered and demoralized remnants cannot be successfully marshalled against ihe surces that by their vigor, energy and toresight savea the consti- tution and tae Kepubli Let ws, my fiends, go forward in this spirit and we cannot juil to conquer. Let us avoid dissention in our ranks, keep the car- dinal doctrines of our creed ever in ‘view, and, marching shoulder to shoulder to the contest now impending, add another to the long list of tri- umphs which have been achieved in the interest of good government, and which Poi gage peel to republican institutions in this jena, Gentlemen ol the Convention, what is your pleasure’ On motion of Senator Mapprx, John T. Cunning- ningham, of Warren, and Stephen B. French, of Suffolk, were appointed temporary secretaries, The roll of delegaies was caliedsaud there were no contestants reported.

Goveruor Wood.ord addressed the Convention a3 foliows :— GENERAL WOODFORD'S SPEECH GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION—We meet to re- new our allegtance to the ideas which have thus far been tie creed of the republican party, to take counsel as to the presert needs of our State and na‘ion; to deciare our wews and Purp ones and to nominate suitable candidates for the several State ofices to be filea at the coming election. We say Irankly that we meet as republicans to declare republican principles, to nominate honest, capabie and consistent republicans and to perpetuate a republican administration of our State and nation, We are proud, very proud of the past history of our great organization. It has been the history of our nation, written with the sword on many a field, incorporated into the legislation, may, into the very constiution, the organic law ol our people. It is a grand story simply told tn these brief Words, “Liberty, Union, Justice.’ But we also know that our past record is only of present value, as it gives assurance of future weil doing. It is the certificate 0: Lie ful servant. [ft tells of capacity; it does not insure success hereaiter, We have done well in other days, 80 muca the greater reason why we should do weil now; 80 much the greater shaine if we do ill. We frankly claim that in the past our party has deserved ‘success by the manner in which that party has scrved the people, the State and the nation. We as frankly admit that we deserve success only 80 long as we shall continue to meet and tuifil the needs of the present time, We as frankly admit that the great republican party, with all its high, heroic memories of vattie elds and council cham- bers, ol broken shackles and a united land, with all its sated nimes o1 Lincoln, Stanton and Seward, should peid its banners and retire from its function of government so soon as it proves false to its trust or incompetent in its administiation, The State was before the party. The party is for the State, not the State tor the party. So long as the republican organization shalt rule faithfully and well the State which it bere in saiety through the storm and shock of civil war, so long let the grand oid party wear the crown and bear the rule. Ofone htt be assured, names change, ideas never. The party name in which we glory tius'to-day may pass mto history all bright with the great achievements and noble words of our elder biothers, and -only tarnivyhed by our mis- deeds; but the ideas of our great organization shall live and rule among men in our State and nation, if not in our name then in some others, if notin, and throaghous then in and through others better, maniier and more deserving than we. In the republican column and under the republican banner we have only lougit the old, old battie of , Manhood against class privileges ani class j clams, of " the many against the few, ot the essence of liberty against — the | the essence ol tyranny. While our human nature remains Weuk ‘and érring, and the conditions of tume, sense and matter endure, that battle is im- pending. 1 trust tat ior many years we may still fight that battie and this same column, ‘under this suine banner, cheered by our great memories and | emulating the deeds and words of our elder br thers gone beiore. When, if ever, this column shali move out oi its true position: when, if ever, it shail found on the side of injuetice, oppres- sion or dishonesty, then I pray that its banner may go down in de eat and its high places ol power may be vacant among the rulers of the land. Such is the record of the past; such are the responsibilities of the present, As we met the cuties ef yesterday, so let us seek to meet the duties 0: to-day, AS we deserved success in 1856 and in 1860, by unbending fidelity to the rights of our common manhood, although that manhood croucied in une slave cabin and was sold at the auction blo as we deserved success jrom 1561 to 1565, in the words and spirit of our great leader, vy fiehtingit out on the old line ofcompelling abso- lute suvmisvion ‘0 the law and unconditional preser- vation o1 our national Union; as we deserved suc- cess Irom 1865 to 1868, by generous charity to our beaieu brothers, and yet by resolutely demanding equal justice to those who had been our faithiul alles in the war, and whose wrengs had brought such terrible retribution upon the land; as we de- served success during all the first term of the present adininistration by faithiully keeping the plighted iaith of the nation in the steady payment of our debt, in the steady reduction of taxation, in the steady,eniorcement of tue laws, in generous eflort to deal justly by the Indian, in the settie- ment of our ditferences with the mother land by the Christian methods of peaceiul arbitration, rather than in the bloody tribunal of battle, so let us deserve success to-day by the declaration ot just and wise principles, by the nomination of pure aud. able candidates,’ and by squarely living up to our decisrations, Let us in faithful obe- dience to the law ana the enforcement 01 its be- bests ewulate the spirit and imitate the example of our silent but sure President when he stood un- moved.and resolute amid the storm oi financtal disaster that swept the avenues and streets of the Metvopolis on Sunday last. Great amid the shock of batt ec he was greater and myre seii-contained amid the crash of credit and monetary disaster, Let us.write in letters of gold over the portals of the tempie of the Republic those brave strong Words of Ulysses 8. Grant:—‘ihe private citizen may pos sibly break the law if he will accept the conse- | quence; but the President oi the United States cannot, in time of peace, violate tne law and be responsivility, we frankly recognize li; we deliber- ately accept its duties, we ‘humbly ask for strengtn and wisdom to fulfil our high opportunities in the nation, We must enforce honest administration, save every dollar o! unne- cesgary and unwise expenditure, avoid useless and experimental legis,ation, encourage the States lately in rebellion to resume in practice, #8 well as in theory, the .unctions 01 local self-government, en- conrage them to rely more upon themseives and less upon the general federal authority. We must seek by economy, . honesty and practical common sense to cure the corruptions of men and the demoralizing tendency of great and long continued political powers. In our own loved Commonwealth of New York we must keep th se same ends of integrity and econ- omy of administration steadily, strictly in view. ‘The terrible corruptions in the local governments of our largest cities have burdened our munictpalt- ties with enormous local debts, whose {nil burden and extent areeven as yet but partially realized. The great«developments of local rauroads by town and local aid has imposed a like indebtedness upon our rural :townships and counties. It has been easy to boriow, and, therefore, has seemed easy to pay. It will be for some years dificult to borrow, and will, thereiore, be dificult to av. Tile strain will be severe. I trust it willibe met bravely and honestly; but this one thing ds sure, the taxpayers of this State will not and should: not torgive any legisiator or official who spends or votes one dollar in excess of actnal | Need, or in advance of the very surest and most { certain internal improvement.
