upon her.
Surely, il is disgrace and misery enough 10 see
the General Government in such hands ~ conlroi
il, working underground in every direction 10 give
new extension to slsyeholding, and seeking BY al
sorts Of contrivsnces 70 tighten the grasp OF that
arrogant and domineering faction upon the ihSo'ss
of the American people. 1t is bad enough to DC
obliged to submit 10 such an infection when I'M
posed upon US by no fault of our own; but Tor
New-York 10 put collar about her own neck, 70
submit BY her own act to the disgrace of choosing
white slave for Governor-the only sort OF slaves,
thank Heaven. left among us, as We have emanci-
pated our black ones-would be altogether intol-
cradle The Free-Lsbor citizens of the State OF
New.York cannot intend thus to disgrace them
selves They all mean TO be at the polls on election
day. and being there, so 70 vote as to make their
votes available to the Free-Lsbor cause. They
will not allow themselves TO be deluded into throw
ing away their ballots either to crafty the vanity
of any individual however amiable, or for the sake
Of merely keeping upa political organization all
the legitimate and attainabe objects of which can
be accomplished, and can only be accomplished, by
sincere and jealous cooperation with the Repub-
Ecan party This is not the time for splitting
up into factions, or going on upon SIDE
issues This is no time for caracolng upon hobbies,
each man according to his own csprces. There is
great question pending in this country which
ought to absorb az it does really involve all minor
questions Shall we be ruled by a slayehOldng
aristocracy at the South in connection with an
Office holding and moneyed arstocracy at the North
or shall this country be what the founders of our
National Independence desired and expected-a
country of Repubicanism Equality and Free
Labor Shall the great intelligent middle class of
farmers and artisans shape the policy and control
the legislation of the United States or shall We be
governed by the shareholders Of the South and the
capitalists of the North playing by means OF set
of demagogue politicians, upon the prejudices and
controlling the votes of the most ignorant, vicious
and depraved of our City population and where
that does not suffice, making mp the deficiency by
fraud violence and balot-box stuffng, after the
fashion so lately practced in Kansas and still more
recently in the ST. Louis election
Ii now for the first time in the history of the
country that our republican system, upon which we
have 80 much prided ourselves, is fairly brought to
the test. Till very recently the two arlstocra-
cies of the country, the planting arstocracy OF the
South and the moneyed aristocracy of the North,
have been at cross purposes, and have fought
against each other thus giving to the great repub-
lican masses an opportunity to slip in, and, BY in
clininc now TO this side aud now to that, to exer
else no inconsderable influence on the course of
affairs At length, Herod and PLATE are made
friends. These two aristocracles, 50 long hostile,
are at last reconciled to each other. They have
united to make common cause against the Free
Labor Republicanism Of the country. The great
increase of our city populations and the large num-
Der of foreign voters whose ignorance and inexpe-
rence expose them to be deluded and misled by
paid demagogues, are the mesns-along with fraud
and violence-to which they look for trampiDg
the Free-Labor masses under foot and for estib
fishing here at the North the power and authority
of the moneyed aristocracy as firmly as the
power of the planting aristocracy is estab-
lished IN the slsveholding States. If the
mddling interest-thst interest which has hitherto
controlled in great measure the politics of this
State-do not wish to see themselves reduced to
the same political nsignifcance with the eelabor
interest of the holding States it is full time
that they were on the alert. The whole force of
the General Government is eXerted to the utmost
pitch to forward the conspiracy against them-a
force vastly augmented BY the extravagant system
of Government expenditures, not merely in the in
crease of Offices and salaries, but by means of
Government contracts and the fat jobs and pckings
of that sort with which political services are re-
warded and votes bought up. This City, where
80 much wealth is concentrated, has fallen already
under the power of this aristocratical faction
quite ready to give up the control of the external
relations and general policy of the Union to the
shareholders for the sake of their aid and assistance
and that of the Federal oficeholders and the mob
at their disposal, in crushing out the too rampant
spirit, as they think of republican equality. What
they are struggling for now, is TO extend the same
system to the State. They count not 80 much on
their own strength as upon divisions among US and
diversions in their favor, made under the disguise
OF special Zeal against the objects at which they
aim. We trust the triumphant election OF the
Republican State ticket will give them quiet re-
buke, and will prove that the mass of the people
of the State are beyond the reach Of their mach
nations
