THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE

The coaton in New York between the Hunkers Barn
burners and Aboitionss is event so notable and
pregnant with important results that cannot omit to
refer to ii frequently occasion offers The ascendency
OF the two last named factions which had coaesced
time before, over the Hunkers who still struggled to main
tam the elements OF nationality and conservatism in their
political organization presents parallel with the deve
lopment and the supremacy Of Locoocoism the
thSdox leaders of Tammany Hall about the period Of
ence which insgaed and controlled the movement then
has prompted and directed the recent rupture and re-orga-
nization.
We ask the attention of readers to the following
quotation from the New orl Times, a leading Demo-
cratic Hker Journal edited by that veteran in politics.
1t sto be utterly impossible for the Democrats
body, to vote Tor the State union ticket which their
delegates have adopted. Indeed have no confidence
that either iunkers or BarnbunerS will vote for it for
neither can do so with honor if any value be attach
ed to their avowed and frequently declared
The Democrats have been favorable carry slave
y into new territories, but always denied the power of
Congress under the Constitution to prohibit it by law
his union makes them surrender that belief by solemn
resolution The Democrats in convention were instructed
by their constituents extend the hand of forgiveness to
the recusant Barnburners but ony condition that
e'o test should be adopted and the old Democratic plat
form sustained. What IS the RESULT The chairman of
the free-Sol or Abolition committee in reference to this
union, said
eve expect to make the Democratic party of this
State the great ANTI-SLAvERY PARTY OF THIS STATE
and through make the Democratic party of the Uni
ted States the great ANrI-SL PARTY THE UNI
TED STATES. Those who do not contemplate this result
With this open declaration of war against the constu-
donal rights OF the Southern States, and this
tempt to drive eleuen States out Of the Union by the
Enlistment OF an abolition party any honest patriotic
Democrat vote that Union State ticket? The Barnbur-
ners have the entire victory Of this coalition themselves
giving only few prominent offices in the State 10 the
Hunkes and the Van Buren, dynasty the ticket should
succeed will be still in the ascendency We have no be-
iefthat it succeed Those who go only for victory
may vote t-hose who attach value to principle cannot
do Should the State Of New ork elect Joint Demo-
cratic and Abolition ticket, there will be great political
movement made throughout the Union The entire De-
mocracy of the slave States will rally round the present
Administration. The President being Southern man. is
to be relied upon in ultimately defeating the plans of the
Aboltonss against the integrity OF the Union This will
be the result OF any successful political against
| the rights OF the South.
The sectional character of this organization assum
ing the name OF Democracy stamps upon it aspect hi
thero unknown to any political formation this country
Blythe exclusive nature otis principle repels from its
communion every State the South OF Mason and Dxons
lme-every State below the Ohio Those in the South
who have pleased themselves with the strange deusion
that they constituted portion of the Democracy may
now have an opportunity to discover their mistake
1t would be unworthy the gravity Of this subject
speak OF 1t as aamss, or to seek to use it as Of
political subservienee for political purposes But the
movement at the North has been deliberately made the
whole country has wnessed; there has been conceal
ment; no attempt at, concealment Openly and without
disguise crusade against the Southern portion of the
Union IS proclaimed and the organization of powerful
party Is put In motion to carry on the A local in
stltuonn the States against which this movement is made
denounced by who have nothing do with it. who
are not responsible Tor It, VINO have right whatever
erere withit Thus the matter stands Novendeed il is
and somewhat startling: But what most astonishing is
to find journals at the South still uerng the usual argon
about Democracy though they knew what they meant
and were quite satisfied with it, and with themselves
Such purbnd stupidity must be left to talk in its sleep
We told these shonsghted disciples that the party which
they called the Democratic which had elected Mr. Polk
Which had supported General Cass. was dead, il they
would but know tive told them this long before John
Van Buren, announced the result of his posi- mortem
animation OF the body of the defunct
The late Official might recoect how we endeavored to
illustrate this fact to make apparentto the
capacity We cited the case OF man whose neck was
severed by keen instrument so Gecaely and smoothly
thar he Knew nothing Of it. and only when he at
tempted to walk and his head fell to the ground that he
became aware of his own decaptation Then there was
the touching story OF the almanac maker who labored
hard to to the public that he was not dead Strange
that individuals abonng for precisely such purpose po-
itiealy, and installing in their the action Of
gavanism for the principle of e should not have been
awakened from their haucnation by the recollection OF
| their astrological predecessor
The combination effected in New ork is but the crown
ing act Of series of similar coalitions throughout the
North and the Northw No step has been taken
since the formation of the government looking so directly
as this at the destruction of the Union.-Bah. Aaer.
