Democratic Uaion in New York.

The unprecedented misrule and abuse of power In the present blue light administration have opened the eyes of the disaffected democracy of New York They have been taught wisdom by experience. By our recent defeat th.y have been reminded of the truth of the old maxim, Nunted we stand, divided we fail.'' Iu contemplating the miseries entailed upon the country by the elevation to power of an ultra conservative party, they have seen the effects of their own unnatural schisns and needless intes- tine dissentions- They have at length determined to disregard the raitOrous ns,igatiOns of the ambi tious conspirators of kinderhook and the Albany Regency and laying aside the fire brand of dissen- tioa, the free soil question. to unite the scat,esed forces of the party upon the broad platform of dem ocratc principles.
 The mass Union Convention at Syracuse have nominated State ticket composed equally oi ''Barnburners'' and "0id HuBkers." With this ticket with this spirit of concation, with this Union of the democracy, which should ever be ''oue and indivisibIe. :" they will sweep like empes, oysl the Empire State. oblsrang all traces of the late triumph of federalism.
 Alluding to the nominations of the Syracuse con veniiou, the New York Herald, an original Taylor paper, says;
 This union on the State ticket will pervade every district and operate in the same direction on the tickets put forth in the cities and couaties There Is every probability from the indications given out that most treme ndous impulse will be given to the coming election by this union; and that the old mocracy. again coaesced. will be electrified in an electric age, and show some sparks of their asceal energy, to the astonishment of ths other States aroun nd them, and the wonder of the whig exhu nations and fossil remains of the. custom house here.
 The conduct of the whig leaders in tifis city and State u the distribution of office, will help aud as- sist the united democracy in carrying the coming election with a perfect tornaio--a comprehensive storm of victory No party tha; ever reached pow CT under such favorable auspices the whigs did in the election of General Taylor, have so misnan- aged aud abused that power by such wsfuI and srocious distribution of office. they hsve done during the last few mouths to which may add the sympaty, the atroeoas sympathy, exhibited by every of the cabinet towards the continuance despOtism on both continents
 We think, therefore, in looking over tho field of operations with the greatest candor there Is every prospect that the whigs of this State tn the ens. ing election, will be routed, horse, foot, and dra- goons; aud that it will be the commencement of a new revolution of parties throughout the whole of this mighty republic We are not disposed to cry over the roat-nat al aii.
