'SSs'SAo -
the Democratic Party Of the State of New
York are about to harmonize. Meetings
of bunker and barnburner representatives
have been held almost every evening since
the election, and the basis Of union a.
greed upon, which will be promulgated in
time for approval or disapproval at the
next primary meetings.
Much as we cherish the -honored
principles Of the Democratic party-much
as we desire their success-much as we
desire the triumph Of the Democratic party,
after the exhibition of personal malice
which was manifested by the barnburner
faction Of New York during the late cam
paign, and which formed the basis OF their
opposition to the candidates of the demo-
cratic party, were we of the, so called,
bunker party Of that State, we should weigh
the matter long and we'll ere we formed the
unholy alliance. We should desire to know
that the recusants in wishing TO return to
the ranks, are actuated by n sincere repent.
ance for the part they have taken in bring
ing defeat upon the democratic standard,
and, that in the future, no consideration
of personal malice or enmity should hence
forth swerve them from the duty they owe
to the democrat cause.-The cause Of the
country. In short, we should demand in
indemnity for the past and security for
the future;" and until we had it, our voice
should be "still for war;"
That the barnburner opposition to Gen.
Cass was the result Of malice, and not Of
opposition the the principles set forth by the
sDemocratic National Convention, is quite
evident. ssFree soil, free speech, and free
men," was chanted by them for no other
purpose than that of drawing off democrats
from the support Of the democratic dandid-
ates, and betraying the country into the
hands of the federalists, and the slavehold-
ing South. So anxious were they to graft
fy their deep and inveterate hatred, that,
even while they were shouting the favor
lite ca,ch-words Of their party, they depos,
tied their ballots for the Louisiana slave
holder, thus giving evidence that malice,
and malice only, was the ruling motive Of
their action.
THAT VorE.-The Representative from
Medina county, Mr.. JOHNSON, was elected
by one vote. We laarn from the Stark
County Democrat that Mr.. NJ. HAYS, the
printeriof that paper.in the 55th year of his
age, and an indomitable democrat having
got in advance with his work, started on
foot, on the dag previous to the election,
for his residence in Medina county, THIRTY
miles distant, to deposite his vote for the
democratic candidates. That vote secur-
ed the election Of the Democratic member
from that county.
The above shows the importance of one
vote. Had every democrat in Ohio plac-
ed like estimate upon his vote, the gal
liant WELLER would have been elected by
thousands, and we should not have been
asked at this late day, "who's Governor?"
Up AND AT 1T.-Our .'free soil'' friends
have espoused the cause Of the landless
and homeless, and now claim to be the
real true blue s.Vote yourselfa Farm" par
ty. Heretofore we have endeavored, in
our feeble way, almost solitary and alone,
to advance those measures. AS the "free
soilers" claim to be fierce for giving and
securing to every man home, now that
Congress and the State Legislature are u
bout 10 commence their winters work.
we want to see them roll up their sleeves
and go to work.
g While the Taylori, S are rejoicing
with joy unspeakable over their recent tri-
umph, spirit of sadness seems to brood O.
yer the mind Of Greedy. The wings general
ly seem to see nothing ahead but clear
sky and smooth sea, but Greely sees afar
off in the dim distance q dark murky cloud
upon the political horizon, which portends
destruction to the whig craft and crew.
In the Tribune of the 18th he says:
'.The wings of course rejoice, but in gen.
eral very moderately; for they do not fee!
that General Taylor is entirely 'bone OF
their bone and flesh of their hesh,' and
they cannot forget the great disaPpoint-
ment and disaster which followed swiftly
on the sweeping triumph of ls40."
Afraid of being Tylerized, eh2 Go i.
while you can, for in very short time
you can't.

this State commence their session on Mon
