warns the party that q bolt may be regarded as
q fixed fact. What then? The Democratic
of September. They may fail to harmonic
upon a State ticket-the seceders may go
of to Utica or some other place. and
nominate another ticket; and that will bring
US back to the split of 1913. Such is the gloomy
prospect before us, in advance of the first
annual message Of Gen. Pierce. before he has
proposed single measure of public policy to
either house of Congress.
The dsorganized and apparently utter help
less condition of the whig party Of this State
will probably contribute to hasten this demo-
-cratic dissolution, rather than to encourage the
hards and softs to a reconciliation Between
the Fillmore and the Seward divisions of the
late whig association there has been as yet no
approach to q compromise. Master Greeley
gives up the party as absolutely defunct and
on all sides there is tacit acquiescence in this
Judgment. as far as New York is concerned.
The appointment of Wing State Convention
has yet to be made. A fine opening is offered
for a new organization, upon new platform,
which will take root and flourish, and extend

the abominable isms Of Seward and his organs,
that we fear the majority can only reorganize
upon free-soil anti-rent, woman's rights, land
reform, Maine liquor law, and protective tariff
platform, or something Of that sort. But
then there will be an opportunity for an indie
pendent movement of the Fillmore and Web
ster constitutional Union compromise wings;
and the expedient of a junction between them
and the hard shells. has already in various
quarters, as we are informed, been discussed.
Thus, then, from review of the present
condition OF the dscordant elements of both
the old parties in New York, there is not
only the danger to be consulted of another
split among the democracy, but there is also
the possible contingency to be looked after. Of
the revival of the Seward branch Of the late
whig party on bona tide abolition and revo-
lutionary platform, and the fusion of the
Fillmore and Webster portion with the demo-
cratic hard Shells or Old Guard into an indie
pendent national Union party; otherwise, the
New York result this fall will probably be an
easy triumph Of the Albany Atlas and Van
Buren, wing of the democracy. leaving dis
affected and communicated hard shells, and
all the factions of the late whig party, scattered
over the field, as the loose materials of a dis
organized opposition. powerless from its divi-
sions, though in the aggregate representing
large majority of the people. Meantime, let
all concerned brush up for the Syracuse Con-
vention. Heads up!

Last night a meeting, or rather an attempt at
one, was held up town, at the corner Of Broadway
and the Eighth avenue in the vicinity of that yet

the lots in which it is to be located. There was
vast amount of confusion, one appearing to know
exactly what his neighbor wanted, or what he want
ed himself. There was show of opposition raised by
some to the act of the Legislature but the folly Of
the thing was clearly shown by the chairman, and
after deal of fussiDg, the meeting adjourned sine
die, having come to no determination as to what
they would do.
