NO thorough and complete to insure victory to the
democratic party in that State at the approaching election
in November il will, in two years. result in
thorough reunion, and in success But we have strong
encourag ement that the democracy Of New York will
succeed and win one of their oldfashoned triumphs al
the election soon to take place OF il such be
the result Of the reunion Of the democracy OF that great
and powerful State the ultimate consequences can readi
ly be imagined They will be demonstrated in the over
throw and prostration of the wing party IN the unon
and the reascendency Of the democratic party in the ad
minstraton Of the federal government These are the
ultimate results that to follow from the reunion
and success OF the democracy OF New York.
OF course in view of such results as those to which we
have alluded the leaders of the wing party have very
naturally become alarmed and desperate They see in
the great fact OF democratic Cancellation and harmony in
New York certain evidence of the prosaon and defeat
of all their schemes for the FUTURE and the return OF their
party to hopeless and queruous minority in the Union,
"a it has been almost from the foundation of the govern
men TO the present time Hence the dissatisfaction the
chagrn. the groans. and the desperation Of the wing
press II is not strange that, under such circumstances
the press Of the WING party should resort every expeden
and device which promises the least to defeat the
object of the democratic reunion in New York, or to
make il operate to the prejudice of the democratic party
elsewhere. Hence the wing editors have gone to work
to SOW dssenson between the late sections of the
democratic party in that State with the view of prevent
ing complete and thorough reunion, in order that the
party may be defeated at the approaching elections and
also to produce diversion in the South in favor of the
federal party by falsely charging the democratic party
with coalition with the abolitionists.
When it is remembered that this charge OF coalition
with abotioniss emanates from the organs Of party
that supported for the presidency man who allowed
himself to be represented at the North Wilmot Pro-
visois and at the South just the opposite who voted
for known and avowed aboionist for Vice President
man who has declared, in letter addressed to abo-
lon society in the county which he resides that he is
in favor Of the introduction of the slave trade between the
States. and that susains an administration contain

unaccountable Yet the whole history OF the wing par

party, and thence down through all its mutations OF name
and strategy the present time, presents bat one con-

Yet what are the facts upon which they base their
charges Of coalition between the northern democracy
and the aboitoniss particularly in reference 10 the New
York democracy We viii answer. In the first place. The
