as No Fusion i'm New York.
There is little prospect of a fusion of the
Hards and Softs in New York. The matter
has been tried OH and will notfit. From the
Herald we learn that the Conventions Of -the
two factions will not meet upon the same day
as it was originally Supposed they would.
The Hards first fixed upon the 5th of Sep
tember, and the Softs upon the Goth inst,
thereupon the Hards re-considered their ac-
ton and appointed the 23d as the day Of
their Convention, being six days before the
meeting of the Softs. The Herald says:
The "hards'' will thus be the first party
in the field. They will have the choice of
the battle ground, determine upon the pro-
graninie of The campaign, and select the is
sues on which the contest must be decided.
This movement of the "hards" is coup
Dictate upon the administration softs, who are
panic stricken; they expected to meet first
nominate mongrel ticket, part abolition,
part "soft" and part hard"-calling it d
Union ticket, and expecting to force the
6 hards". to adopt it, or else to keep them out
of the Cincinnati National Convention as dis
organizers: '7 ss,' - aeAa ~
The hards, in the first place, called their
State Convention for September 5th, at Syra-
cuse, the usual time and place appointed by
the softs. This was understood to be an
overture to the softs, inviting them to call
their;convention for the same day-face the
music on the Nebraska bill and the slavery
issue, drop the administration, and thus
wheel the whole democratic party into line
against the abolitionists marshalled under
Seward. In such a fight, the national mel
in the American party would probably have
sustained the democratic ticket, which would
have swept the State. .-
To the astonishment of all except the ini-
tiated this bold overture of the hards was re-
jected by the softs, who, afraid to confront
the adamantines, called their convention for
the Goth of August, thus hoping to escape
the responsibility of meeting the issues upon
which alone they could unite with the hards:
at the same time calculating to get a SOCIAL
ed democratic ticket in the field ahead of the
hards, with milk and water Marcy resolutions;
then to nominate two OF three plastic hards
along with the Custom House men, and so
eeaaPel the harsls to accept the programme,
or, by nominating separate ticket, throw
the State into the hands of the opposition,
and thus incur odium with the next Presi-
dental Convention, which would result in
their being driven out of the party.
eD This action makes the State sure for the
Republicans if they will only take advantage
of the game that this division throws into
their hands.
BAD FOR THE REpUBLIcANs.-We under
stand that G. L. Emerson, late nominal edi-
tor of the Democrat, and Tom Wall, the
jailor of Ramsey County, are about to follow
in the wake of the Republican speakers, and
annihlate all such men as Marshall, Wilkin-
son, Jewett, Nourse, &c. That will be bad
business decidedly! Something should be
done Immediately to check and stop such
dire calamity. ,-
MoDEsr-VERY The St. Paul Democrat
is the personal property of Mr.. Rice-that
is, the types, presses, &C., of the establishment
belong to him. When it speaks, it is Mr..
Rice himself that speaks; and Mr.. Rice daily
proclaims through the columns of the Demo-
crat, that he is the only man in Minnesota fit
to represent Minnesota in Congress. Very
modest man
"DEMoCRAcY."-S years ago, in tie
days of Andrew jackson, when we first began
to take an interest in politics, Democracy was
name which was used to represent a great
and powerful party, founded upon reason and
principle Now, the requirements to stamp
man as a good Democrat" are that he
shall uphold band of lawless border rufians
on the frontiers of Missouri and help chase
down every fugitive slave that escapes from
Southern bondage. Any one who does not
make himself a tool to carry out these
'sprinciplcs" is no Democrat these days. For
refusing to work in this servile harness, Gov.
Reeder was kicked out of o1Iice and out of
the party.
"Nor FOR THE Public EYE."-The Pi
oneer informs us that Mr.. Olmsted's letter
W NcT1llslllS was liOC WIltCCu iOi Ci1O
public eye" All this is no affair of ours,
but it had struck us that the position of the
Pioneers candidate was previously sufficient
ly equivocal without heaping this additional
load of agony upon his back. The Republi-
cans, however, have only to march straight
forward and mind their own business.
WILLIAM r. MARsHALL.-The Republican
party have nominated this gentleman as De-
iegate to Congress in opposition to Henry M.
Rice, the present incumbent. Of Mr.. Mar
shall's fitness for the responsible duties to
which he is about to be called, we are not
appraised, being stranger to us. The pa
pers of his district, where he is known,
award to him ability every way suited to
the position. We shall rejoice in the cleo
ton of a known and conceded Anti-Nebraska
candidate in Minnesota.-L0 Crosse Rep.
TRuE.-A lady says, "The secret you dare
not tell your mother is dangerous secret,
and one that win be likely to bring you to
sorrow."
