A stormy political week is over, and from
present reports the Democratic party has tn
Jumped over the Union ticket This butfew ex-

Democrats, but such 1t seems is the case. The
vote of this city was immense, the principle

Eens uaturalized who were hardly free from the
dirt and dross of the omigrant ship. Suffice it
TO say that while the American party in this
city poIled their usual vote, (S2, oO0) the Demo
Gratis exceeded their usual vote (24,005) by

1900 That an immense amount of fraud has
been perpetrated by one of the parties every
one must conclude, when Philadelphia casts sew
ersl thousand votes more than New York. The
election here passed of peaceabIy, although
there has been scarcely any thing else since than
noise and tnmult, free fights, and other glori-
fications on our Third street.
Yesterday afternoon the ground was bro

Hunting Park'-long may it continue, until

grow to be noble cak-until that noble oak IL
self shall yield to the slow decay of passing
centuries, until succeeding generations of noble
trees shall grow, decay and perish on this spot,
which to-day We consecrate to the common ioy

Fusion AT FAuLr.-Three State Central Conn
mittees assembled in this city yesterday, the OBJ
ject being, we understand, to negotiate for flu
sion electoral ticket. The Republican Commit
| tee represented the Fremont party Of the State;
the Fillmore Committee. the friends of Fillmore
and DonelSo1, and the North American Com.
mittee, well-nobody in general, and their dis.
tinguished selves in particular. The Republi-
can and North American Committee met to-
gether, and agreed upon plan for an electoral
ticket, the purpose Of which was to let the Fill
more and Fremont parties vote the same ticket,
and then divide the electors according TO the
number Of votes cast for each party This pro-
position was submitted to the Fillmore State
Committee, which was in session at another no
tel, and after some debate and delay, it was Fl.
naily rejected. The Fillmore representatives
determined to stand by their own ticket preri-
ously nominated. Thus, the fusion arrange

ment. Nearc quite sure that the men who have
thus assembled in SECRET conclave," will find
that, in protesting to represent the masses Of
their respective parties, they have counted with
nut their hosts. No such confederation will be
ratified by tho true men of either party. We
thought that the Committees would have learned
as much from the events of last Tuesday. Ii
was fusion that drove the Fillmore men into the
Democratic ranks, or kept them at home. 1t
was fusion that cost the Republican party many
votes that could not be brought to the support
of Native Americans. Better then for both par
ties-better above all, for principlc-tbat I'M
mixed tickets should be voted by the friends of
the respective candidates. Principle first, and
