Nothings would easily elect their candidates. They had
the card in their own hands, and had it been played skill
fully they might easily have achieved al the honors and
emoluments too But the demon of ambition entered
their ranks. HIS sooy presence created dissentons
which cannot be appeased. The candidates for Office
we're legion. Their County Convention held last week,
displayed a contest for Office annatng, acrimo-
NOUS and unreenting than any ever witnessed at the
conventions of either Of the old parties Although the

Van Buren's "freemen and witnesses" did al the cce

King, Mann, Wood Co. have deserted to the wing camp
This class of ultra aboionits have heretofore been the
ticket. The only regret remaining is that john Van
Buren, does not openly join them. Could no be shaken
the aboonsts, where he rightully bel ,ngs Tho demo-
crazy could unite upon single State ticket and
9uently upon local tickets, in twenyfour hours There
have been two ions in this city where both fac
tiops have cordially united The first couple of weeks
since, when Judge Parker was nominated by acclamaon

gal profession in this city Until within years he acted
with tho wing party, but when Seward and Weed con-
verted it into sectional abolition concern Mr.. Porter
abandoned it, declared himself adherent to the main
doctrines Of Clay and Webster and believing that the
principles of the national democrats the only true
grounds upon which friend to the Union could stand,

Teasoner classical scholar, and most aabe aud

thrown CONSERVATION into the fusion camp The wings
are Iaralyzed and thunder struck. Such nomination
they had conception of. But Mr.. Porter not only
unites the two sections of the democratic party to man.

Senate His election is conceded by every one except of
course the republican saints
There is an effort making to adopt single democratic
state cket. The pursuing by the Atlas has
rendered it certain that the soft administration ticket
is doomed to defeat Its recent articles against the
Kansas law and the administration and in favor of the
aboonsts has destroyed all its influence for the ticket
The hards had any real expectation of electing
their ticket and only refused to offer the olive branch
Syracuse because the Kings Nyes and Others then

Those putrd and filthy excresences have been
luckily removed. The two State committees with
ptoprety hold conferences and in good faith under
take TO elect single ticket. Let them take the matter
into immediate consideration Should either refuse thus
to confer, then 1t will be incumbent upon the
other section to institute another State convention with
out distinction Of section and bring forward union de-

John Cccbrane John Van Buren, IT'S not too late yet
to ''save the naion'-some five weeks to the day Of
election.
