THE WEATHER AND THE YELLOW FEVER
We are happy to say that the yellow fever has
subsidized, and that there are but very few cases
at Quarantine, Staten Island and Fort Haml-
ton. We are now having the last Of the
warm weather, and in few days we shall be
purified by the regular equinoctial storm. II Is
gratifying to know that the Philadelphia alarm
lists have failed in their endeavors TO turn the
trade from New York, and that our city was
never more prosperous, our merchants never
more busy. The great book trade sales com
menced yesterday, and we're attended by hun
dreds Of booksellers from all parts of the Union.
Other branches Of trade have likewise taken
splendid start, and our hotels are crowded with
country merchants buying their fall goods We
shall have stirring autumn and gay winter.

NEW YORK STATE ELECTIONS


Now with the aid Of the extracts from the
on, (and without the other statistics laid before
the Cincinnati Convention by the sofia. which i
not necessary now to gve,) we shall be able to
understand these discrepancies in the bard shell
vote. The split between the two democratic fac
tons in 1853 resulted in fair test OF the respec-
tive strength Of each in the fall election, and
they were thus proved to stand nearly equal at
some ninety odd thousand votes In 1859 the
position Of Horaiio Seymour Isoft) on the liquor
question doubtless secured him some hard she'll
votes. and whig votes too; but he being identi-
fed with the Pierce administration, large num-

Hence the reduction OF the hard vote to some
"a 900. Thus began the fusion OF the hards
with the Know Nothings In 1855 we Cad the
soft she'll vote standing nearly up 70 the mark Of
its original strength in SO, bat the hard falls
short some 10000, and the greatly increasd
Know Nothing vote viii explain where much 81
this hard shell balance was thrown. BY this
time the hards had come to the belief. with other
deluded politicians that Know Nothingism was
destined to rule the country, and they began to
be as thick as thieves among the Know Nothing
lodges
II the softs had been for Buchanan AT Cnciu-
natl they might have had everything their own
way; bat they we're for poor Pierce, and il be-
came necessary 10 cut them down. Hence ihe
admission Of both hards aud softs upon a footing
Of equality, by which process poor Pierce and
Douglas were both cheated Of the vote Of New
York, and Buchanan nominated. The Conven-
ton substantially declared that the sympathy Of
the softs for free white labor in the Territories
against black slave labor, was a. great q crime
as the dark lantern oaths and Ned Buntline asso-
Citations Of the hards with the Know Nothines-
that the hereses Of the one faction ncutralized the
neresies Of the other. and that. therefore. they
stood upon eqs al ground, and both factions were
democrats, good and true, and entitled 20 an
equal representation in behalf Of the great demo
cratic party.
But this charming arrangement, which opcrat-
ed so sweetly among our hard and soft spoils-
men at Cincinnati, has not worked quite so hap
ply among The honest masses Of the party at

TIE MAINE ELEcToN.-Everybody is talking
about the Maine election. 1t threw the Captain
Rynders torch light procession, big gun. war
horse and sky rockets far into the shade. There
has been no such sweeping Waterloo defeat since
the hard cider times OF 1sI0 The Wash
ingion tJson Of Wednesday has not got
the news. That respectable publication finds
some comfort in stating that the vote Of last
year was one hundred and ten thousand, and ap-
pending to that the statement that they have
only returns this year Of sixty-eight thousand
votes in one hundred and sixty-seven towns
Their comfort is that forty thousand voters stad
at home, and that they will all come out in No
vember for Buchanan. They also hope that the
Official returns will reduce Hamlin's majority
but, as the vote il full one, and rs Hamlin has
beaten everything, even in the democratic Mala-
koiss We are afraid that there is no balm for the
In,on's lacerated feelings Maine has gone
horse. foot and dragons. The Fremonters are
full of joy as well they may be- The election
in Massachusetts, two years ago, when Gardner
swept the State, was an astonisher; but this is

of honest hards, toe, not for sale, win End this
horrible Pierce Buchanan policy Of making
Kansas slave State, by fire, sword and slaughter,
dose TOO bitter to swallow, with all the
sweetening that can be offered And while
our Know Nethings, from the desertion Of the
bulk of their late democratic hard she'll
recruits, are left in bad way, the reunited de-
mocracy themselves find that their reunion is hut
sham, a delusion, and q snare. Hence the des-
perate expedent Of democratic trade-a regular
bargain and sale--with the remains of the Know
Nothing lodges, through which Mr.. Buchanan is
to have the New York Know Nothing vote for
President, and Erastus Brooks * NJ the demo-
cratic vote for Governor.
These are the materials and this is the ar
rangement with which the Irish Catholics are
confidently expected to cooperate. They Of
course, are ready to be sold for the benefit Of
Erastus Brooks if they are ready for this nice
little plot And why should they object to
Brooks? To be sure, he hates the Catholics and
their religion as the devil hates holy water; has
labored hard to show to the world that their
Archbishop is little better than liar ahypocrite
and cheat, obtaining money and property upon
false pretences. But what of that, if the CO.
operation Of the Irish Catholics upon Brooks is
really necessary to secure the Know Nothing
vote for Buchanan so that he may be elected?
The killing of the Irish waiter Heating by a
hard shell democrat, and the protection afforded
by the democracy of Congress to the homicide,
was rather hard upon Irish sympathies, we know;
but let our Irish fellow citizens only look at the
frightful catalogue of murders and crimes COM
mitted by the democracy in Kansas, and to which
we are all called upon to submit at the hazard of
disunion, and they will soon learn to forget the
case of poor Heating
Meantime, we would respectfully ask Of Arch
bishop Hughes how far he is willing to ce-ope-
rate in this charming democratic and Know
Nothing plot whereby the Know Nothings are
to support Buchanan in this State; provided, al
ways, that the democrats-lrish Catholics, and
all-vote heartily for Erastus Brooks as Gov
ernor?

STILL ANOTHER LETTER FROM RUFUS CHoArE.
About the funniest things in this highly
amusing, though all-important Presidential cam
paign are the political letters which we have had,
from time 10 time, beginning with the 'ebo shin
and turkey gzzard" epistle Of Gov. Wise, OF
Virginia, and including that Of Rufus Choate,
written for the purpose of inducing the voters OF
Maine TO support the democratic ticket. The re-
suit which attended this latter effort would have
deferred any sensible politician from making
another attempt of the same kiud-at least until
the memory Of the failure of the other had be-
come somewhat obliterated. But not SO. Mr..
Choate, like the Palnurus of Virginia-as Mr..
Wise has been called-fancies himself great on
letters, and cannot resist the temptation Of
spreading himself in that line on every possible
occasion. The last mssive from him that we find
in print is one directed to the chairman OF q
committee Of arrangements for mass meeting
Of the democracy at Concord, last week. Here
