New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-07-31

The Commercial Advertiser of Tuesday contained
a paragraph (coped into our last) expressing very
natural though We trust too gloomy apPrehensions
that Oregon is about to be legally opened to Slavery
nnle.s her Democracy 10 less PrO-Slavery than
its counterpart on the Atlantic. This paragraph
was such as might have appeared in those columns
uuder the Edltorsbip of the lamented Col Stone.
But preceding this was leader In spirit very

palned, which polled only 100000.
a. That it ia the true course for old'fsshloned
Wbiss (~bo are now nearly all either Republicans
or Amercans) to stand off from this contest,
and either not vote at ALL OF vote for the best men
indepc ndeDt of party considerations.
Such WAS the substance-as We understood it
of The Commercials remarkable leader Can
We have been mistaken in regarding it as pslpsbly
written to irspirt and aid the Buchanan Democ-
racy of our Stale Yet because we did 90 regard
aid characterize it, The Commercial falls into
passion, accuses US of " falsehoOd and misrepre-
sentatiOn," AYERS that our allegation merits
only contempt" asserts that it proves that we
" cannot desire to treat opponents with candor"
&c. Why, venerable neishbor that word cop

said "Tby speech bewrayeth thee" mauger all
it's passion and fury If you were not our oppo-
nett, we should certainly not desire to make you
one; but, since you are, we prefer that you should
strike us i'll your proper character and attitude,
and Lot with "the hand of JOab."
The Commercial AYERS that {" we could not knon"
with what motive it penned its article aforesaid.
Possibly not; yet, if we were to see the Editor at
p. IN. on Staten Island boat just leaving White
hall, we might fairly infer that he was going to
Staten Island. And so seeing leader in his paper
plainly calculated 10 insplrit the sham Democracy,
and to be copied and commented upon for that pur-
pose by their journals, We very naturally concluded
that it was written to that end. Was not this
reasonable?
But THE TRIBUNE is very careful not to deny
80 that the coalition which Tile Commercial pre-
81 dicted in fact contemplated and being arranged
g for" SAYS the latter. Yes, Strive do deny it.
We shall be most happy to operate with all those
citizens of our State who stand substantially on the
Platform of the National Convention which met IL
June Is, 1856, as we did cooperate
last Fall on that platform with many who had for
lne.ly been classed as Americans" We do not
ask whether thu man who is right day was right
yesterday or not. And there are certain objects
for which Americans have generally cOntended
in regard to which we entirely concur with them
that of providing efectual safeguards against Illegal
Voting for one We believe that every Election
District or Precinct should have its Registry or
Checklist scrutnzed and perfected days
before that ON which an election is to be held, go
that no man can vote twice at any election, and none
but legal voter can vote at all We are willing to
cooperate in support of any reasonable aud effective
measure calculated to stop for ever the scandaous
abuse Of hunting up and naturalizing aliens in
order to secure their votes in q pending election.
We consider the present term of probation prece-
dent to naturalization quite suHicient-we utterly
protest against any inquiry into or political dis
ability onaccOunt Of the religious faith of our fellow.
citzens-but to the fabrication Of citizens by any
political party for the sake Of their votes, or to the
polling of illegal votes under any pretext whatever
We would have the law oppose its sternest resO-
luton.
Many who had been Americans" voted with
the Republicans last Fall; We trust these and
some more such will do likewise next November;
and We hope for just as much coalition" now as
then, end no more. We no more expect the
american" than the Democratic" State Con-
yentiOn to nominate the Republican" candidates;
we presume there will be three distinct State
Tickets, usta there were then, aid that they will
run in the same relative order now as then Wehope
more Americans will vote the Republican"
ticket; but the great body of the American leaders
and journalists, are satisfied, would prefer the
triumph of the sham Democrats to that Of the Re
publicans.
Says The Commercial:
"Accordirgro TIE TRIBUNE's Incompatible logic,
the Or. dict0D Of a coalition Of the Opposition against
the Democracy is evidence Of deliberate intent to

No, Sir. you are not quite 50 dull as you affect
to be. Itwss the assumption that party which
last Fall polled 275 600 votes now needs and 10 try
