Avalanche K U
The great Democratic State Con
vention for fhe nomination of Stat
officers for New York, assembled at
Syracuse and completed its labors in
one dav. An immense concourse of
citizens is represented as having been
present. Resolutions were adopted
unanimously demanding the prompt
restoration of all the States to their
rights under the Constitution, univer
Hal amnesty, reduction of the standing
army, abolition of the Freedmen'
Bureau, restoration of the rightful
authority of the judiciary, and the
subordination of the military to the
civil power. They arraign the ad
ministration for attempting to accom
plish partisan inea.sures by coercing
States into assenting to them, lor sup
porting class interests against those of
the masses, and becoming the pa
tron of accumulated wealth, and
for
the mismanagement of for
fign
teot
itrmirs, and failure to pro-
certain American citizens in
Great Britain and Cuba. Thev de
clare a determination to fulfill all gov
ernnient obligations according to their
letter and spirit, and that it is due to
those from whose labor government
loans must be paid, that " such obli
gations should be discharged when
due, in the manner provided by tin
law which created them that the
multiplication of taxes, the inuisit
rial process by which they are wrung
from the people, and the exemption
from taxation of a large moniid class
is a gross abuse and that taxes should
be simplified, and equally distributed
on the property of the countrv, the
tarn! reduced to a revenue basis, and
thus freedom given to commerce.
With reference to national issues, they
also further resolved "That the Fif
teenth Amendment of the Federal
Constitution, proposed by the Itadical
majority in Congress in a spirit of
contempt of the eople and of the
right of the Suites to rcgulale the elec
tive franchise, and in utter disregard
of the pledges of the party, and at
tempted to be forced upon the States
as a condition of their restoration to
civil gouerninent and to their repre
sentation in the National legislature,
is intend-d to place the question of
suffrage in the hands of the central
powers, and by debasing to demoral
ize the representati ve system."
The President of the Convention,
Hon. Allex C. Bkacu, on taking his
seat, called attentiou to the fact that
tor four j ears, since the war, the Itad
ical party had hen saving the Cnion,
and yet " certain States are still out of
the Cnion, and will remain excluded
until they consent to such change in
the Constitution as a party of the Rad
ical Congress may dictate, and that
their submission shall be the price at
which they are admitted. Professing
to be lovers of liberty, they have sul
jugated the civil authority to military
rule, and have violated every right of
citizens and individuals which the
Constitution guranties to them. Pro-!--.
tig to be the party of purity, they
have exjmnded one-eighth of the cap
ital of the country, and yet have ex
empted from taxation the banking in
terest. Proftssing to be the party of
economy, their administration has
been marked with reckless extrava
gance and with corrupt profligate ex
penditure. The people have become
disgusted with the management of
this party. They will demand vqual
an J exact justice for all. They will
not tolerate legislation for the
especial benefit of the manufac
turer, the banker and the bond
holder. Our citizens will not support
the party which inflicts upon them
such grievous burdens."
The following isa brief extract from
the remarks of Mr. Richard O'Guh-
man:
Now that the hour of returning reason
has corns; now that our hearts can apeak
the words of forgiveneaa to one another;
tmw BArain the old leiuo-rtic party which
of old appealed to and obeyed the will of
the people, to inai biu m again
apieaia to renew the memories and to re
vive the orinciplee that have been trodden
under foot. It reawakes the memories of
the old and true emotions of its better
audits kindlier days, and, preadin(? ,.ut
ila arms of protection orer all honest men
and honest parties throughout the laud, it
holds aloft the ancient banner of the ( ,n
atitution uuder which we were happy.
(Applause. Some men lair or deud is
sues Felfow-eitiieus, Issues may die,
but true principle uuist live forever.
Ai.planse.j Slavery 6 a dad iasu

that idea went down in 1 lie storm of n :
btit the right of the States, the rik'bts of
anir-governmeiil of .States in all their lo
cal coneers, that is the principle on Uek
i t Ksj in this country, and that pritn ipio
is to be vindicated anew. Applause.) I
like tar manly protest against the so
called Fifteenth Amendment t-i Mm t'on
stilutlon. in your resolutions. 1 1 ll called
an amendment, but it is In fact ' -inversion
of the Constitution; it ia inconsis
tent with the vital principle by which the
Constitution lives, the right to regulate
suffrage in the States; the riht to say
who shall choose the legislators of States.
What are these but the right to make laws
in that State, ami when that is surren
dered in the groat State of Sew York, the
State-is dead. tJreat applause As for
negro suflrage, I have no opinion to give;
our frienda in South Carolina may like it
and adopt It. Let them it la the concern
of their Stale; but that we in New York
have any authority to compel them to
adopt It and to say who shall be voters in
their State, or that they should have a
right tosay to ns who shall be voters in our
State, thai ia subversive of the very prin
ciples of the Constitution, the very prin
ciples in the words " I'nited States;" for if
it is carried the Status are dead. Ap
plause. That is the steady march of em
pire which is being developed. The prin
ciples of the Republican party are unity,
consolidation, and empire at last.
The chief issue in New York as
well as in the Southern States is negro
suffrage and the Fifteenth Amend
ment. And this will be handled with
out gloves in the course of the canvass
on which the State has now entered.
New York has not ratified, and the
result will be a rescission of theresolu
tion which was adopnd by the late
Legislature if the weight of reason is
able to overcome the blind fanaticism
of party. As indicating the course of
the caneass In the Empire State, we
we take from the proceedings of this
initial convention an extract at more
considerable length from the report of
the principal speech delivered by Hon
S. J. Tilden, as follows: ;
It was but a fewlays ago that I met one
of the most eminent Kei-uhlicaiis in tin
I'nited States, and he put up his hands
with a jesture that awea me into snent
attention, and said: "I will tell you one
thinir. between us. Grant ia a failure."
The name of the autherof this unexpect
ed communication is contiuential, but the
secret itself is known to the whole Ke
publican party. Notwithstanding that
great matters of national coiii-ern are
treated with levity, the administration ot
(ien. Urant is assiduously endeavoring to
work what is practically revolution in
the most important element the Consti
tution of eur Government. I "mean the
suffrage by the Fifteenth Amendment.
Thev attempt, in the first place, to take
from the people of the States that control
of suffrage which tbey have immemori
Jlv exercised, of saying who shall vote
within those States ;applaus and
transfer that question to Congress. They
are creating a state of the law in which,
by a change of the naturalization laws,
half a million of Chinese may be brought
into the State of New York and made
voters without the consent, and in fact
against the will, of the people of theState
aJ New York. They are creating a state
of the law in which,' without any change
in the naturalization laws, half a million
of liberated African slaves can come with
in this State and Income voters against
the will of the people of this state.
Now, gentlemen, let me not be told that
half a million of Chinese will
not come, or that half a million
of Africans will not come. v hat l otneoi
to is, that such a state f tksj law is gree
ted. It has no effecLno pra- tie al pur

bat have been left to us as a legacy by
lie war uist closed. liul shall we submit
to an innovation like this the most dan
gerous which was ever attempted m any
period of our national history, the moat
centralizing, the most calculate! to
hang" our tr.c institutions mto an im
penal despotism, and to take away the
nosl sacred riguls or mo pcoi,i ot Amer
ica. Now, are we to look forward to an
event which mav never happen, and
ought never to happen, and announee our
leteruuuation tieloreliand to accept it; or
are we as a party to stand, as w c have
ever stood, for the right, and accept the
wrong when we we must, and not
liefore. Great applause. The Democ
racy, true to their traditions, have in all
itues past been in favor of enlargiiu; the
franchise and extending it to all those
members of society w ho were capable of
oenig aiuaigaiuaiisi wiin society, and uc-
come incorporate with it as part of oue
homogeneous mass. Applause. The
Democracy have never been in favor of
creating castes in this country, or allow
ing caste to be created. If there is
a race among us bet ween whom and us
God and nature have set a barrier that n
irreversible, who cannot be admitted into
the sacred and holy relations of domestic
life, who cannot marry our children, and
whom our children cannot marry; if such
a race exist in this country, it fa a caste,
and to that the Iiemocracy is tinfavorably
diaposed. It might be of no consequence
if this broad aud tsstuliful country were
dominated over by an aristocracy or au
imperial despotism of what quality or
character the men who labor and toil' are;
but when we attempt tr. establish this
continent a commonwealth of freemen in
which all adults (male) shall participate
equally in the powers of the government,
it ia a matter of indisputable necessity
that we have uo castes which we caii
avoid, and that we guard carefully how
we admit others Into aocisl and political
partnership with ua. If Republican Oov-
ernmeut I mean Kepublu-anuovernnicnt
in the good old sense of Democracy rf
free institutions are lo continue to exist,
it ia because we are able to elevate aud to
educate the masses of our people. Our
ancestors taught u that lesson. It is a
nart !
try . in. -' ) I to-day believe, and yon to
day beJWivo, it sa Washington and Jeffer
son taught it.
W ith resricct to the African race now
among us, we must deal with them in a
spirit of Christian humanity, and in a lib
eral construction of the obligations of n
government which is just to all who are
embiac d ithin its jurisdiction. The only
bum the negro race his to suffrage here
arises from the fad that they are natives
to tho soil. They were brought here by
an act which the civilised world is now
unanimous in denouncing as a crime.
They are here, and we are to deal with the
question of suffrage to them in a practical
spirit, and on our principle to leave each
State to deal with that question aa that
State thinks best. The Democracy of New
York lias always been liberal in its policy
on this subject ; it has refused to withdraw
the subject of suffrage from any, or to
narrow the rule by which any have gained
it; but it protests against the doctiinethat
any Chinaman or African has a right to
come into thia country and claim suffrage
as a national right, and enter into com
plete political partnership w ith us without
our consent. We reject this doctrine, just
as we wonld reject that doctrine that any
one of them would have the right to come
in and enter injo a partnership in a pri
vate business. We seject tbat doctriue aa
we would reject the doctrine tbat
an African or a negro has a right
to marry our daughter without our
consent arid without hers. The great
social compact is not a voluntary com
pact on one side, and compulsory on the
other, aud we deny the principle that the
Chinaman and the negro have each a
right to enter into it with us, and that we
shall have no choice to say whetheror not
we will enter into it with them. We say
there is a reciprocity in the relation, re
ciprocity in the right to accept or to de
cline it. I know that the Democracy has
been charged with being opposed to pro
gress (old fogies 1, and that its claim to he
. ..nsidered the real party of lilieral and
humane and progressive principles has
been denied. The Democracy has under
taken to provide for all, according to our
idea of our system of government, and to
carry out the ideasoffreedom to the largest
possible extent, but they respect the char
acter and would defend' the intorosts and
rights of white labor, and thev feel that
we should 1)0 cautious of any policy that
would impair cither. While you nnd

lc i e t he theory thev nrotess. and arc u
doubt actuated by the most sincere and
philanthropic motives as a general tlilui

aside and talk with him on the question
of suffrage. In five minates h will tellynu

The corruptions of politicians, the
public plunderings, the peculation
and defalcations are not frw. But w
could wish these things might be con
fined to the arenas of the officials and
the outlaws and not invade also the
churches and colleges of the land
We regret to say that two instances of
corruption and breaches of onieial
trust have been discovered in a defal
cation of some of the officers of the
Northern Methodist Book Concern
and also of one of the Board of Direc
tors of Brown University. The Book
Concern is despoiled of some $350,000
and the college of SloO,000. A land
grant, estimated at $1,000,000, is sup
posed to have all disappeared but $50,
000. It is difficult to see how the
blame is to be restricted to any single
individual, since the fund has been
disappearing for a considerable time
Wat have some earnest friends to
constitutional liberty, we are glad to
know, among the moderate Bepubli
cans of the North, and one among
those was Gen. ltAWi.i.ss. As one
of the Cabinet advisers, almost his
last strength and breath was spent in
resistence to the schemes of his less
conservative and more revolutionary
and imiH-rial coadjutors. The New
York World states on information
that
At the last session of the Cabinet, a ma
tured plan to coerce the South into the
support of the extremists was presented
Gen. Rawlins was the last around tin
board lo speak. He was there against the
protest of his physicians. It i9 likely that
the terrific blow'with which, in emphasis,
of his words, his feeble fist struck the
table, cracked his helirt-strings I tell
you, gentlemen, youaran't do it."

....
What
a Tennesseean Thinks of An
drew Johnson.
IS MR. JOHNSON THE MAN rOK SENATOR?
Editor Appeal: The advocates of An
drew Johnson represent him as having
suffered vicariously for the South, as a
niartvr in defense of the Constitution
therefore, sav they, he should Is sent
back to tho Senate, that he may flay alive
the audacious despots who arc forcing
governments upon an unwilling people
bv the use ol the sword, vt o grant tnat
Congress is truly obnoxious to this
barge, and that others equally grave and
alarming might be truthfully made
against that laxly. It would be difficult
lor Mr. Johnson or any other person to
xaggerale the cruel usurpations ot the
I oderal (.tovcrnmeiit since the termina
tion of tho war. Bui if there is a uiau in
or out of the State 'whose arraignment
and inculpation of the Government at
i astungioii is wholly luettectual for good,
that man Is" Mr, Johnson. And this
would tc so were he a person of great
moral power, of scholarly attainments.
well versed in political science, and thor
oughly acquainted w-ith the Constitution
and laws of his country. We ignore the
lact, patent to everybody, that within the
last leu years he has been uutrue lo all
lornvr professions. Tho bare proposition
to send him to the Senate, now or
at any time, as the champion of op
position to Executive or Congressional
usurpation, is an insult to all intelligent
menwnowre laminar wim nis count less
usurpations, while he was military Gov
ernor, and especially while be was acting
l'residcni. The messages which ware sent
to Congress over his signature in ISfIT "8,
and which are falsely claimed to have
been written by him, were bristling with
anathemas against that body for its wan
ton violations of the Constitution. Kverr
speech which he delivered in the State last
tamer whan he was exhibiting his
wounds, and asking " nothing but a little
earth for charity " was a denunciation of
Congress tor its disregard of the require
ments and inhibitions of the Constitution.
We have no defense to offer for Congress;
wo abhor its reconstruction measures, and
he studied cruelty of those who were re
sponsible for their enforcement. But has
ongress. at any time, attempted to exer-
ise despotic powers which Mr. Johnson
had not previously claimed and exercised
for himself?
Has Congress imposed any burdens, res-
raintsor indignities upon the Southern
States or people, which had not beeu pre
viously imposed by Mr. Johnson himself?
Can he point to ono infraction of the
Constitution by Congress, which-has not
he excuse or precedent established bv
himself?
Did Congress or any Northern function
ary, including It. t . liutler, during the
war or sinei its clone, display a meaner I
irit of revenge toward individuals
e South than Mr. Johnson has exhibited
atuce the surrender of the Confederate
ariniesT Let facts which are already re
corded, and which have passed into his-
lory, furnish answers to these questions.
We propose fairly to compare thf official
eondui-t of President Jamison with the
action ot Congress. The final quarrel be
tween him and his Republican allies orig
i lated in a dispute as to the right of either
or ' it li to insnlt, hang or govern the per -pie
of the conquered States. He insisted
that he had the exclusive right to do so;
that having at least six months start in
tho matter, Coi.gn-ss should sanction all
his usurpations. His right thus to rule
the Southern States was not only denied
by Congress, but that body claimed the
solo txiwer of doiug what Mr. Mohnson
bad done. Congress triumphed over the
President, since when he has been uu
sparing in his abuse of that body for
usurpations which he unblushingly com
mitted himself.
Eah party the President and Congress
has bad a " policy." From the death
of Lincoln in April, 1865, until the follow
ing December, the President was wholiy
unrestrained, for Congress was not In
session, and he alone had the power to
conveneit. The President, therefore, wts
autocrat of the conquered States. Being
commander-in-chief of the army and navy,
and claiming and exercising the power oi
suspending the writ of habeas corpus in
presence of the Supreme Court, and iu
all the States, Wis power was absolute,
aud we assert that during the brief inter
val between the death of Liuculn and the
meeting of Congress, he was himself
guilty of more inexcusable crimes, more
acts of savagery, more displays of bitter
ness and revenge, more flagrant viola
tions of individual rights and usurpation
of power, than he can lay at ibp door of a
Itadical Cougress since that time.
Johnson has always maintained that
tho rebellious States were never oat of the
Union, yet he treated them as conquered
provinces. The Congress, more logical,
regarded the Confederacy as a ife aeto
Government, and agreed, with Mr. John
son, that they were subject to the will of
the conqueror.
Johnson attempted o excuse his
usurped authority, by saying that
he was engagisi in an effert to
furnish the Southern States "a repub
lican form of government." The RaUical
Congress replied that it was none of his
business, and cited the 4th section of the
4th article of the Constitution, as follows:
The United Slates shall guarantee to
every State in this Cnion a republican
form of Koverment. But Mr. Jobiison
and Congress were agreed that the South
ern States had never had government of
a " republican form." They were agreed
that these Stales slrr-uld be forced to
change their goveriimeut. The quarrel
was as to who should be the absolute mas
ter Congress or the President.
Johnson claimed and exercised the
right to appoint Governors for the South
ern States. Congress denied his author
ity, and provided for an election, in which
not one-tenth as many were denied the
ballot as were excluded from the pills in
Tennessee under the late Stato govern
ment created by hiuiseif. Under John
son's ' policy " we had Holden, Joe
Brown and Brownlow. Under the policy
of Congress we have Walker in Virginia.
Johnson ordered an election lor mem
bers of the Legislature throughout the
South. Congress has pro-rided for the
same thing in the reconstruction laws.
Johnson ordered the Legislatures elect
ed under his proclmatiuns, to change
their Stale Constitution so as to abolish
and prohibit slavery; to ratify the Four
teenth Amendment, inter listing slavery
in all the States and Territories; and to
repudiate all debts contracted in aid of
the rebellion. Congress, not to be outdone
by him, orders the rebellious Statesto rat
ify the Fifteenth Amendment.
Johnson claimed and exercised the pow
er of removirsjl and appointing all State
officers, from Alderman down to Govern
or. It was frequently done with no more
formality than a telegram. Tho case of
Raphael Sernmes, of Mobile, is in point.
He was elected Comit y J udse by t he people
at an election ordered by Mr. Johnson,
but the latter telegraphed to the military
authorities that Semmes should not have
tho otlice, and appointed another person.
Congress hasonly substituted the military
commander of the district for tho Presi
dent. That officer, under an act of Con
gress, now exercises the despotic power
which Mr. Johnson claimed for himself.
.lohson asserted and exercised the pow
er, after the war, of organizing military
commissions, outside the rebel states, for
the trial of obnoxious persons, who had
never been in any military service, who
had never been on rebel soil, and whf
were aceuseM of ordinary offenses.
This, too, where the courts Had
been always open, and wn--ro tne
civil functionaries were willing, able and
ready to trv the accused. Congress has
conferred this power upon the militiary
commanders of military districts, but they
are confined to the unreconstructed rebel
States. Congress has not provided for
murderous military commissions to try
women in the District of Columbia, or for
transporting citizens ofTennessee to Ken
tucky to be tried by these lawless tribu
nals.
Mr. Johnson, after the war, became the
champion of military commissions. He
convened one in the District of Columbia
for the trial of u iroman. The members of
the commission were selected rn- himself.
Upon her arraignment she was insulted
and mocked as no female prisoner has
been since the days of Alice Lisle. She
was denied counsel, refused the common
est privileges of the Constitution and
laws.kept in ftiains during the trial, con
demned without proof and ordered imme
diately to the scaffold. This occurred in
the city o;' Washington, after the surren
der of the rebel armies, where au armetl
rebel had never been seen; where the
courts h id tioen continuously .open since
tne British had occupied theciryin 1814;
while the Chief Justice was in the citv.
and the Judges of the Circuit Court ot the
I ".strict or Columbia ready and willing to
try the prisoner, ine legal profession
all intelligent, solier persons, were
appalled! A wtirain, a Christian wo
man, was about toll - executed without
law! That execution would be murder.
A Republican judg" determined to make
an effort to save her life. At the instance
of her friends a writ of habeas corpus was
issued by this judge. He knew that it
was a writ of right, a privileged Consti.u
lional writ, and that to refuse it was to
become a perjurer and a murderer. The
writ was placed in theands of the Mar
shal of the District of Columbia. At this
junclure Mr. Johnson suspended the
writ, nothing more could be done. Ihe
juotg-' was surrounded by Mr. Johnson's
bayonets. Me uttered a jecble pretest
and adjourned his court. In a few irx-
knestta this woman, as all thoughtful men
then admitted, all lawyers knew, and as
the Supreme Court has since decided, was
publicly murdered in the presence of a
mob. Congress has suspended the writ of
habeas corpus only in the unroi-on-
structed States, but it bos provided for an
appeal to tho Supremo Court. But for
this Verger's bodv would, ere this, have
been rotting in the Yazoo swamps.
The quarrel lietween Congress and
Johnson did not originate in principle; it
was oi joaiousy. -ui saiisueu witn Doing
naiie i'resnlent bv Uncnin s death, aud
unable to live without beiug in office, or a
csudidate, he set about to reelect himself.
fenuessee had been reconstructed bvhim.
Under Brownlow it was safe. His object
was to reconstruct the other rebel States
iu his own interests. This motlveexiiiains
his appointment of such men as Holden
tnd Joe Brown. lie t-It unsafe with the
Republican party of the North, for thev
were restive under the shame and humil
iation thev were compelled to endure
when Johnson was inducted in the Viee-
Presldencv. He wished to be nominated;
hev determined he should not. Discov
ering this, he began to talk of the rights
of the Stales. Finally, they road bimout
of the Republican ranks. He protested
tgsinst this, and labored for two years to
buildup a third parly. To this end he
endeavored to make the Philadelphia Coi -
vention subservient. His motives were
quickly discerned, and from that moment
ue Convention sanK out oi sight; under
his auspices it was powerless. We next
lind him in the New York Convention,
isking Democrats to nominate him for the
Presidency over George H. Pendleton?
They were rivals for the Vice-Presidency
onlv four years before Pendleton on the
Democratic ticket with McClellan, and
ohnson on the Black Republican ticket
with Lincoln. Pendleton's friends
should have said to him: " Foi r
years ago Mr. Pendleton was vour
rival for the Vice Presidency. Conscrva-
ives and Democrats in Tennessee organ
ized an electoral ticket, pledged to vote
for him and against you. Upon that
ticket were the names of some of her moat
prominent citizens Bailie Peyton, Emer
son Eiheridgo and others, tou had pre
viously organized a ticket pledged to vote
for yourself; vou were tHu Military Gov-
raor of the State. Seeing that, in anv
fair election, the State was overwhelm-
ngly against you, you resorted to the
vilest means to dcleat the will of the peo
ple; you promulged a horrible test-oath,
which no Christian gentleman could take.
A distinguished patriot attempted to
speak in the city or Nashville, where yonr
headquarters were and where vou held
nightly revel to speak in behalf of this
are. That speaker was insnlted by a mob;
aine t'endleton, whose rival you now
tnat moil was ol all colors, and was m-ting
in your behalf. The meeting was broken
up, the speaker driven from the stand,
and publicly you flanked jour hench
men for tbe performance. Finally, you
f irced the friends f Mr. Pendleton to
Withdraw their ticket and ah union the
unequal contest. What yon f8 &-
we know; what yon nmr are or iruty hrre
nft -r he, we do not care to know."
