An Impudent Appeal.

The Washington Jnion seeing the Wings
in this State plunging into all sorts of dlsrep-
utable alliances and expedents to catch vo-
ters-is inconsolabe because those whom it
now gra,iouslv deigns to recognize as Demo
Gratis, will not follow such lead strike hands
with the Free Soil and Soft factionists, and
oo-alesce with them in sustaining a recreant
and besotted Administration in its efforts To
keep up the show of party in this State, ON
the liquor basis With big tears in its va
cant eyes and with cracked voice, it nvokcs
another ''bcastly coalition -
''If this condition of things does not bring the
Democracy Of New York to their senses, they
lost beyond redemption. Such a coalition this
must sweep the State unless it is met by cordial
union Of the entire Democratic party"
Such an appeal to the National Democracy
of New York from the organ of an Admins
tration which in its efforts to ''crush" them
''out' has literally annihlated itselt-would
| deserve to be treated with derision and silent
contempt but for it, matchless impuience and
effrontery. As it is, it ought not to pass
| without remark.
The Administration has now little else than
a nominal party in this State. Its beneficial
| ries in office, and their purchased support are
its only reliance. They are the fresh dcser-
ters from the Democratic party whose nece,-
stiles or venality, or both, pointed them out
They support the Administration because
paid for it, and according to contract, express
or implied. But where out of the range Of
Presidential patronage, has the Administra.
tion a partizan whose support or allegiance
| 1t can count upon or commando
We need scarcely say that the National
Democracy of this State spurn the dishonor
and the fatality Of an association with the
Administration and its forlorn faction
With such faction they can hold no parley
nor form any alliance. They have mission
to perform which is Inconsistent with such a
"union,' were it desirable thus to bind a live
with u dead body. They have wrong. to
avenge and principles to vindicate, which
being able Of themselves to achieve, they
have no need of embarrassing aid from Ad
mnistration quarters. Towards the Admin
istration and its handful Of partizans, their
designs are unchangeably hostile and the,
will maintain that attitude until they con
quer peace, or compel an unconditional sur
render.

Northern and Southern Charities.

\ few days since. we made a remark on
the action of the American Board of Commits
sioners for Foreign Missions. with reference
to the Choctaw Missions. and quoted a short
article from New York paper on the Icla
tive amount Of contributions to that board,
from the North and the South.
Though only that particular organ';otioH
for missionary effort WAS intended, some ap-
pear to have understood that comparison
was made between Northern and southern
libcrality, taking all societies into account.
That view of the case would he an unfair one,
as indicated in the following article from the
". Chronicle.
We doubt whether, taken a a whole, the
Southern constitutions to all missionary OBJ
.ccts anything like equal, in proportion
to population, to those from the North and
if they were, it would have no bearing on the
prolricty of the action of the Board, in the
case of the Choctaw Missions (; nevertheless
there should be no msconccption of the point
which was really presented.
NoRTu AND SoUTn-Wc regret to see in
some OF religious papcrs-in the y. y. Fran
! gciiSf, Tor lnstance-a comparative statement
| of the receipts of the American Board from
the slavcholding and the non-slaveholding
| States, published as if it were a correct pre-
scntation of what is given for Foreign Ms
! SONS in the two classes of States respectively
Such a statement may be legitimatey used IA
showing the constituency of the American
Board, and in considering questions in res
pect to which regard should be had to th'
| prevalent sentiment of the constituency. Bu
it should be remembered that there are othe
Boards Of Foreign Missions in the country
and that the denominations of Christian
which make our Board their agent, are ioun'
almost exclusively in the non-slayeholdinj
States. In the sluveholding States there ar
not more than some half dozen Congrega
tional churches, perhaps few REFORMED
Dutch, and some New School Preslyterians
the latter being, however, but small mino
rity in comparison with the Old School Pres
byterian., who have a board Of their own. 1
Judge correctly of the whole question, grea
many facts must be taken into account be
sides the receipts Of any single Board, an
full and fair statements are always important
