Important POLITICAL Manlrestoes.

we puDllau tO-uay Two important polllcal manlles-
toesone from Gerrit Smith, theleader ofthe Liberty
party, and the other from the Temperance Alliance
Of this State. Both are intended to affect the APP
preaching elections and, doubtless they viii exert
a very considerable influence upon them,
The document from the Liberty party expresses
discomfort with the slow progress Of the free soers
and aboitionsts, and proposes to point to brighter
prospects, and lead the way, in great convention
to be held on the LIST of September, at Buffalo, be-
fore which the lights of Pittsburg must pale, as
the stars quenched by the light Of the sun The
sincere and honest anti slavery menwill rally around
this centre, and platform will be sent forth to the
world, upon which every true believer in abolition
take his stand and do battle against the slave
power. Fred Douglass win make Buffalo ring with his
savage eloquence, and journals, in almost every city
in the Union, will echo his sanguinary appeals, ard
difuse his revolutionary and anarchical sentiments
among the abolitonists, OF all sexes and all shades
of color The result will be to produce deep salts
faction with the two leading parties and their plat
forms
The movement of the Alliance viii have the same
tendency, though it is designed more Immediately
to affect the State elections. Its manifesto
gives glowing description of the evils of
intemperance, and states that the temperance
party are def ermined to organize on the 18th of
September, in Rochester when they will insist upon
having the Maine law passed i'll this State and in
the event Of being refused, they viii make the po-
tca parties feel their power, BY turning the scale
either side the other and this WILL more or
less, affect the Presidential election.
1t is true, that men who compose both the parties
peculiar class Of men Of one idea-a class from
which our lunatic asylums are so largely replensh-
ed. STILL their action will have an important effect
and viii probably influence the result TO the amount
of $4,000 votes. The only question is, which of the
leading parties will it afect-wbich of the two
political scales viii it kick to heayenl From
careful examination of the materials of which
these isms are composed we come to the conclusion
that they will most affect the wing party. The
democracy are better organized, more methodioal,
and more under the influence of discipline. In the
wing party there is an 'aggomeration," az their
own organs express il, Of men Of all classes and
ideas who happen to dislike the dominant power
When the repulson becomes greater than the attrac
ton these discordaDt elements fly of and effect Sc
parate organizations, and sometimes form COM
tinatiens with others. We would not be surprised
if the Liberty party and the Temperance Alliance
united their forces at Buffalo, Rochester, in order
TO present powerful front to whatsoever Of the two
enemies they may select or TO make a grand show Of
figures on their own hook by which they win demon
strse their strength in more decisive manner than
by joining either OF the corrupt parties in their bat
tie for the spoils Of Office.
The wing party has been for some time in power,
and its present dsorganized state shows the inca
pacty Of its leaders for governmenttheir inability
to manage their party and keep it together The
Pittsburg Convention has dsorganized it in Ohio,
and New England, and the Liberty party, at Buffalo,
and the Temperance party, at Rochester, will disor-
ganze it in this State and particularly in this city
50 that the wing losses on the WHOLE viii be very
:erious, from the operation Of the sms and schisms
One good effect win spring from the success Of the
temperance party-the destruction of the low grog
geries and the rowdy influences which have COM
pletely controlled the primary elections Of both po
litica parties and the wings to still greater extent
than their rivals How it win work in other re-
spects we cannot as yet determine, but we shall
wait and see Meantime, these movements will be
looked forward TO with intense interest by tho poll
ticans and Office seekers, and the managers Of both
the high contending parties will work like moles and
beavers for the next ortng ht three weeks TO in
fuence the action Of the coming conventions in their
own favor and against their adversaries.
