NEW YORK

Notwithstanding the failures hitherto 10 effect
a re-unlon-notwithstanding the repeated declar-
atoms OF their respective presses and their leaders,
that the difference of sentiment between them
was radical and rreconcilable-the two wings of
the New York Democracy have, at last, agreed
to unite for the approaching campaign. The
slavery question is held in allegiance, each fac
ton is to have a moiety of the candidates, and
the party thus to be re-united'hy the cohesive
attraction of the public plunder." Love of the
spo,iS effected what reason and appeals to party
pride could not do. We are not surprised At the
contamination. Principle and consistency have
ever been held in light esteem by New York pol
!tcians, The reconciliation is a triumph for thu
Landowners, they-by far the weakest section or
the pariy-having obtained half the nominations.
We do not fear the effect of this heariless and
temporary coalescence. We predict the Wbigs
will triumph over the united factions.

attention OF the reader. Iii S interesting and, in
some respects, important. 1t is gratifying to find
That the elements OF order are rising out of the
chaos which at first prevailed. The people, il
VIII be seen, have asserted the majesty of the
laws,and punished the turbulent spirits who mob
bed the foreigners. 1t will be recollected that a
portion Of the people were disposed to disregard
General Riley proclamation, appointing a day for
the election OF Delegates toa Convention to form
a State Constitution, and TO proceed ina Dorr-
like manner to organize a government, without
the concurrence of the authorities. A little time
for reflection brough, every thing right. The
Governors proclamation was obeyed, and Dele

There is a good deal of talent returned to the
Convention, which is doubtless now in session.
A Constitution will be framed, submitted to, and
adopted by, the people, and laid before Congress
by the 1st January.

There are strange optical illusions in the
perceptions of popular favor. This mild
and wavering pontif' has passed, IN the
versatile opinion of our latter years, for
fearless sage, possessed of vigorous and
constant soul! God protect us from woun-
ding, by an indiscreet charge, heart
already so stricken; but we cannot con-
ceal the fact, that after aiding in promul-
gazing the revolutionary spirit, by his too
inslnuating advances to popularity, Plus
TX is likely now TO plunge Europe into
more serious collisions by the avidIty with
which he renders himself unpopular. The
holy father is, like the resi- of US, but
man of the present time, too subject to
highly-wrought impressions, TO crude
ideas, too accessible TO those emotions from
external things which compress or over
excite the weakness of our character. Up
on that worn countenance, in thatuIcertaih
smile, in those half-shut eyes, in that air
of complaisant beatitude, one must not ex-
pect TO find the energetic traits of a Greg
ory, or an Alexander. How often, in the
ardor of his pontifcal days, has he trem-
bled in the morning at the remembrance
of some bold step for which he had ap-
plauded himself the night before; how of
ten has NJ. Rossi, to whom, in his bursts
of enthusiasm, he paid not sufficient def
erence, been obliged 10 comfort him in his
hours of depression. Thus is the man
constituted in Plus TX; the pope could
not alter it, and his consciousness adds
to the perplexity of his conduct. Entirely
given up TO the Gregorian party which, at
the time of his accession, he disconnte-
nanced, governed by the spirit of absolute
authority which reigns at Naples, Plus TX
seems to make it his task to close, before
hand, every door by which he might return
to his former position, and our only wish
is to recall him to it.

But let us not be misunderstood. We are not
apologists of evil in any sense. The.use of evil
is to furnish an object for resistance that our va

its extinction. In no case must we submit to it

can always make good victorious over evil, no

Suffering for Conscience Sake.

A faithful adherent of the Free Church,
in respectable, but far from aflluent circum-
stances, was, few months ago, suddenly
called upon to attend the death-bed of a
wealthy uncle, whose nearest relative he
was. This uncle had been distinguished
for the malignity with which he prosecuted
those who were attached TO the principles
which his nephew held, and to his latest
hour, he continued to manifest the same
disposition. On having reached the dying
mans bedside, he was shown two deeds,
one establishing him as sole heir of money
AM. Croperty TO the nmour' many tirevi-
sand pounds, upon cor muon of his renoun-
cling lis Free Church principles and JOIN
ing the Establishment; the other, falling
his agreement, bequeathing the whole 10 a
more distant relation. Upon the expira-
ton Of the few hours given for consldera-
ton, the nephew nobly refused to accept
of the legacy under such restrictions,
choosing rather 10 be "poor in this world,
but rich in faith" inclining rather TO
suffer affllction with the people of God "
than enjoy such pleasures at such a sacr-
flee. The words he uttered on the occa-
sion show the strength and feryor of his
faith he said " God had hitherto prOvl-
ded for him and his family; and though
he was poor as regarded the things of the
world, trusting in the promises of his
Heavenly Father, they would never be
brought to disgrace" He allowed the
deed in his favor TO be destroyed, and sub
mitted to see rival occupy the position OF
power and influence which had been pla-
ced within his reach. Such conduct will
NOT fail of its reward; it will call down
honor from on high, and wherever the
spirit of true Christianity prevails, the re-
membrancc of it will be cherished.-Edin-
