Theavowc purposo of the convention was t effect reforms in the administration ( the Slate Government. In soino ( its departments retrenchment and r< form is doubt lesa greatly neededsome of its oiliccs arc filled by incon potent and corrupt men?who nhoul be driven from the places they occi py. More economy in the appropri; l ions and disbursement of public mot ey should he practiced. How arc theso objects to be aUait ed V The only reforms in the Stat Government, that can bo succcssfull; accomplished, at least for many year to come, must be by and through th Republican party, and its organi;:r lions. They have control of ail th departments of the State Govcrr incut, and have a majority of mor than thirty thousand voters, to pre serve and perpetuate that control. S I long as an opposing party, disavowim I n ?i! * - - i lti-jiuiMM-anism, is organized m 111 !State to defeat and displace them, st lonpr will party machinery and ap pe:ils to party appliances preserve it unity and supremacy. If we v.*an an illustration of the strength ant constancy of party organization i: securing self-perpetuation, look to tin State of Vermont, for thirty year! prior to the war, when it annually rolled up its 25,000 cr more majority for the Whig party, despite ail tin efforts of the Democracy, aided mosi of the time by Federal influence am: patronage. When you attempt to rc form a parly by destroying it?whicl is i no present mode of reform ndop ted?the first law of nature, eclf-pre servation, appeals to each member o: that party to resist the now move ment, and avert its dcBtruetion; bucI an antagonism has another moat bale ful influence; tho most active anil oftentimes the most unscrupulous partisans exaggerato the importance o! maintaining par<y usage and disci plino, and the great mass of the honest portion of the party arc thus di verted from a careful examination into the fitness of thoso 6ceking to rep resent them, and from abuses and corruptions existing in tho party.

Some of bin leaders, whito and color' cd. may be incompetent, corrupt, and treacb eroug; blithe would exhibit a tlrange oblivioii#neP9 if lie would consent to join an autrigo nibtie organization to destroy his own party even before lie had attempted to reform it.

Tlje greatest obstacle In nccopling this eu( cestion by ninny conscientious men who ha\ heretofore belonged to Democratic and oth< organizations, was removed by the nomins lions and platform of the late reform conven tion. The distinguished nominee of that coi vontion for Governor, ia a Republican; bis a sociate for Lieutenant-Governor, no less di tinguished, was formerly a Democrat Tli convention was composed mainly of gcntleme who formerly belonged to the Democratic pa ty. The platform adopted, ia its essentii feature, was Republican it accepted and pr posed to sustain tbe fifteenth constitution: amendment, and made no political issue wit the Republican party, except reform.
