The Democracy Of the Empire state In a
Stew.
The democracy of the Empire State begin to
exhibit symptoms of a lively effervescence in the
camp. The soothing syrups administered by the
quacks at Cincinnati have done no good to the
foul stomachs and disordered livers of the breth-
rem. They have come away from the great
Democratic National Convention in q worse con-
dition than ever, and are undergoing hard
purging. When they went to Cincinnati they
were divided into two factions; now they are
split up into three and each has called separate
State Convention at the same place, the newest,
which is also the Oldest and most radical division,
leading the way.
The third division of the radical democracy,
with their time honored leaders OF the old Jack
sonian school, meet in convention at Syracuse to-
morrow; the softs assemble there on the 30th, and
the hards gather together there on the same day,
but not in the same hall to begin with although
the design isareunion upon the principles Of bro
thery love for the sake Of the plumber before the
divisions Of the loving democracy hards
and softs-all three infringing for the ascendency
and the spois, and all perfectly Indifferent to the
soothing mixture Of honey and whiskey applied
for their relief at Cincinnati.
The question arises, what has caused all this
difficulty and this wrangling and discord, where
all should be harmony and union The moment
the hards and softs came so near to kissing and
making up as to agree to meet in the same city
on the same day, out comes a startling manifesto
from the old Jacksonian radicals, for an ndepen-
dent democratic convention at the same place
six days in advance of the stultified hards and
softs. The truth is. these old line radical demo-
managers, candidate and platform they have had
enough Of your superannuated old fogies, who
ought to be upon the retired list; and these men,
therefore Of the honest Old Hickory stamp, re
gard with the coolest repugnance the nomination
Of Mr. Buchanan upon the Cincinnati platform as
fashioned by Southern democratic niger drivers
and Southwestern filibusters. The nomination
Of Mr.. Buchanan thus falls worse than still-born
upon the New York democracy. 1t has given u
three democratic factions instead of two, and
likely enough there will be several more before
November.
Thus we see that one of the causes of the pre-
sent discords among our democratic brethren
may be rightfully attributed to the old fogy
nomination of Mr.. Buchanan-an old gentle
man, cold phlegmatic and timid, yet easily led
by the nose by the designing managers who
have him in charge-Mr. Forney, chairman.
Another cause Of these family jars is the apple
Of discord thrown among the brethren by the
conspirators Of the great Central Railroad Con-
solidation scheme. This monopoly, with its over
shadowing influence, radiating from Wall street,
has its agents scattered about the State, working
among all cliques and parties, for the control Of
our November State elections. If this railroad
coalition can secure Erastus Corning, Addison
Gardiner. Dean Richmond, or some such useful
man, as the Union democratic candidate for Go
vernon, they viii only be too happy In fact, in
view Of this important desideratum the election
Of Mr.. Buchanan is matter Of perfect contempt
What would Mr.. Buchanan's success or defeat
amount to with these Central Railroad confede-
rates, compared with the millions Of money to be
pocketed. and the Camden and Amboy dcspot-
ism which will be placed In their hands by se-
curing proper Governor State ticket and Legs
lature for the State Of New York That's the
question.
The plans Of the conspirators for the establish
ment Of New Jersey Railroad olgarchy over
New York are comprehensive and minute in
their ramfcations Funds will not be wanting
to carry them on; for we learn that August Bel
mont, the wealthy Jew Of the financial house
Of the Rothschilds, has added this Central
road movement to bis other specializing
amusements at the Hague, and il pre-
pared to furnish supplies for the cause
a. they may be needed. Still there il
danger that the spectators will fail unless some
thing Is done upon the spot with these radical
democrats who meet in Syracuse tomorrow.
Then, again, we understand that along the South
ern tier Of counties and also along up the river.
on both sides, certain impracticable anti-monopo-
ly hards and softs are resolved to send delegates
to Syracuse that will insist upon some new and
untrammelled candidate for Governor. In this
view. we are also informed that along the South
ern border counties, Fernando Wood has been
indicated as the proper man TO bring forward
against the specializing railroad democrats In
this city, too, very large proportion Of the
hards and softs are resolved that the Central
Railroad clique shall not carry their point and
are ready to unite upon Wood against them.
Thus our readers viii perceive that the New
York democracy are involved in most beautiful
intricate and desperate game-three separate fac
tons upon the Niger question, and fourth. or
speculators' faction, mixing in with them all.
Beyond the Cayuga fridge the Presidential con-
test is between Fremont and Fillmore; this side
Of the bridge, IL is between Fremont and Blu
chsnan for poor Mr.. Fillmore east Of that bridge
viii hardly be heard Of in November. But this
Central Railroad monopoly is operating
