NEW YORK POLITICS.

Whatever may be the result of the election in New York
next week. we are now inspired with confidence in
the early and eecual reunion of the New York democr
CIV than we been for three years Our confidence is
based upon the evidence which that the honest rank
and file of the party intend the doctrine Of oP
lar soyeregny New York. and to throw overheard those
factious and schemng leaders who have heretofore kept
the party divided from motives purely selfish and
personal The late speech and letter of John Van Buren,
are evidently contributing the ultimate publication Of
the party from the faint of Van Buren, ireesoilism
His Wanting assumption that the so;s of New York
are standing on the platform which his father voted
for 10 I8s is epudaed and secuted by the great body of
the true democrats who have been acting with that organ
cation for the last years Their platform in 1853
tanned no such plank as which John Van Buren, boasts
of having inserted in the late Syracuse credit the
platform of 1853 which sound in regard sectional
questions that the ofis recognised by the rcg
lar democratic organization and which cordially
operated with The Albany Atlas The late Syracuse
lutions as construed by John Van Buren, wholly DIFF
ercnt from that PLATFORM and glad to The
democrats OF New York coming out in strong terms of
condemnation of that platform These remarks are sua-
gested by the following article the subject from the
Journal of Commerce:
"THE DEMOCRACY OF TIoGA couSTy.--The following
