and has rallied to the side Of Thurlow Weed,
B. +. Butler and Gen. James Watson Webb, in
support OF the harmonious mixed commission
Of King, Cook d Co.
The net results of this Tabernacle fusion
ratification indicate-frst, the concentra-
ton of all the radical anti-slavery mate
rails in the State to the support of the
Seward ticket; and secondly, the deser-
ton of all the conservative men that
have hitherto supported the Seward party, to
some other ticket of the several opposition
tickets in the field. And though the demo-
Gratis are divided, and the Know Nothings are
not as harmonious as they should be, it is
quite possible that, between these opposition
forces, the Seward omnium gatherum will come
out of the election as pointedly admonished of
the hopelessness Of their game, as in Maine,
Ohio, or Pennsylvania. So mote it bel

The News from Europe-Posltion Of the Ar
mics In the Crimea.


There is evidently some confusion and mis-
statement in the telegraphic account of the
Canada's news; and it seems probable that
the whole has reached us after being diluted
and refracted by passage through British
medium. Up to the 2Gth September, that is to
say fifteen days after the capture of the city
by the Allies, no decisive movement had taken
place. The Allies were apparently possessing
themselves quietly of the town, without serious
molestation from the Russian forts on the
north side: and the Russians were doing their
best to strengthen their front on Sebastopol
and to extend their left wing on the Bakshi-
serai road Some practice between the bat
teries had taken place, which proved that the
guns on the north shore had orange extending
completely over the city to the trenches of the
late bcsiegers; but on the other hand, the
French artillerymen felt confident of replying
with good effect from Fort Nicholas. -Four
days before the last despatch from Gortschakoff
left, on allied detachment advancing oyer tho
heights of Inkermann, drove In the picke.s Of
the Russian centre a skirmish ensued which
ended, as usual, in the retreat Of the Russians

Governor Shannon and the Slavery Question

thorough investigation OF the matter.

means Of ascertaining, but we shrewdly sus-
pect he has had a very long finger in the pie.
At ali events as far az the New York admins
tra.ion democracy are concerned, their numer-
GUS assertions to the black republicans, since
the removal of Reeder, show that Marcy knew
what he was about in protesting against his re-
moval.
Next 70 the letter Of Mr. B. F. Butler, the
most notable feature Of this Tabernacle ratif-
cation was the speech of Gen. Wilson of Mas
sachuse.ts, in which he took occasion to glorify
himself little for his active agency in the
work of breaking the American party into
ten thousand fragments" And yet, the late
elections in Maine, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
very broadly indicate that Gen. Wilson and
his philadelphia abolition deserters have made
little or nothing from that operation. Per-
haps, in volunteering as an abolition missiona.
ry in New York, the partizans of Brother Will
son may have to deplore the loss of his valua-
BILE services in Massachusetts,. Treason has
crept into The fusion camp there, as well as
here and elsewhere, and he had better hurry
back home without further delay.
Next after Gen. Wilson, at the Tabernacle.
came Gen. James W. Nye, very frank and
fair dealing man, full of anti-slavery crochets,
as we find him. He could not persuade or
drive Messrs. John Van Buren, and John Coch-
rane to go the entire Buffalo figure over again
at Syracuse, and so he has deserted them and
gone over TO the Seward Holy Alliance. Some
of the soft she'll ticket, of the same stripe az
Preston King, are satisfactory TO Gen Nye,
but they are in bad company and 50 he has
abandoned them aud their ricketty platform,
