Troy, N. Y., 2. A letter from Senator Conkling to Hon. J. H. Griswold, published this afternoon, urges unity and harmony in the republican party in the ensuing campaign. He alluded to the re-nomination of Gen. Grant, and says that the path of the republicans, now that the State is given over to a rascal, a prey to a horde of thieves, who infesting our chief city, disgrace humanity and mildew the commonwealth by their pestilential profligacy. These plunderers have seized upon the State government, legislature and all the municipal agencies of the city of New York, and hitherto they have tampered with party organizations, also debauching and controlling them. The question facing us is whether this degrading flagitious sway shall cease or be perpetuated and fortified anew.
