Preparations for the Coming Eleetion-A
black Nall Foray.

Beth the great pariies-whigs aud democratic
ARE preparing for the coming struggle in November
ssxt II will be an invgoptinq and exciting con-
ssst We anticipate much sport from il, no matter
who Is beaten or who beats The democrats have
recently effected union at Syracuse and will pro-
baby ante in general effort throughout the State.
IN forming that union, and in the ticket which
they have put forw ard, John Van Buren, and his
followers, no doubt expect to make the whole
democracy Of this State, and Of the North, anti
slavery IN their tendencies. Such position may
give them votes and strength among the fanatical
portion Of the community; but we are in great
doubt whether il will not also lay the foundation
for senous collision, at future day, between the
two great sections Of the republIc-ihe North and
the South. The wings have had, generally. an
.nti-slavery tendency; and If the democrats take
she same 70 sinon, the course OF things will ulti-
nstely lead TO a dissolution Of the confederscy.
This woful result is, howe yer, some little time
ahead. The leaders and directors Of both parties
suly care, dunng the present year, and in the sp-
preaching election, for victory and the spoils Of
Office, adopting or disc ardine principles at any par
scsar place or point, as viii best suit their pres
poets Of success.
