10 soft shell democracy did everything in the
way of repentance and humiliation that could
be asked Of them by the hards; but, instead of
being received upon this surrender of their
niggerism, with open arms by the hards, they
are "spit upon and execrated," as the Seward
party spat upon the Scott platform Of 1852.
Hear the little hard shell organ of this city,

This reception of the overtures Of capitula-
ton by the poor softs, certainly gives but lit
tie promise Of the brotherly reunion Of the
party in the Empire State. Perhaps it would
be as we'll for the democracy, in making their
estimates Of the Presidential election, to leave
out the State of New York altogether. AS the
case now stands, the sotts unquestionably have
the inside track tor the Cincinnati convention;
and the only decision now remaining with the
hards is whether they will 60 in or stay out on
the terms proposed. The full endorsement by
the softs of the Congressional democratic Ne
braska resolution brings them into line. Now,
what will the hards do? We shouldn't wonder
were they to abandon their original Tammany
brethren absolutely and forever. There is
still, therefore, chance for the American
party, or for Seward; for the softs, single
handed, cannot carry the State against either
the American or Seward ticket. See the results
of our late election.
