The Observation-Disclosures.


It seems that the Americans" alias Known
things of New York, have failed in their attempt to
mite with the Black Republicans. This failure
seems not to have been the result of any differences
in principle, but was in consequence of disagree
ment about the offices. The K. Ms asked for half
the offices and the Blacks would only offer them
onefourth, insisting that that was the relative
strength of the K. Ms. The N. Y. Times, Black
Republican, says:
AFTER Wednesday next there will be, as there
were last year, three State tickets in the field, and
the Democrats enjoy jubilant confidence that the
result will be entirely similar. They find themselves
delighted with the failure of the Republicans and
Americans to unite. 1t is piece of good fortune
which they eagerly hoped for, but scarcely dared to
expect; and they feel that nothing short of S 'me
equivalent folly on their own part can endanger the
success of their ticket in November. To citizens
of other States, and possibly to unsophsticated
persons at home, the persistent separ ,tion of the
two Conventions at Syracuse may an inexplica-
bic mystery. There aoas no essential or epen impor
tant difference in their arooced principles Each

carry the State, or at least that the danger of
defeat imminent, and large majority Of the
delegates in each was sincerely DESTROYS of union

auable."
1t will be recollected that both Conventions were
called at the same time, with view of forming a
COALITION Committees of conference were appoint
ed, who agreed upon plan of union. "But," says
the Times, before the report could be adopted a
more rigid discipline began to be apparent among
the Republicans, and although the basis of union
was substantially agreed upon, and an understand
ing in respect to the ticket entered into, the Repub
licans in disregard of these premises proceeded to
nominate full ticket of their own. This action
necessitated similar nominations by the Americans
and the result is before the public
In Massachusetts, the Banks party had its own
way. One of the resolutions reads thus:
"Rssozred That the handspring of our action in
all national affairs is an unaterable opposition to
the extension of slavery; that care little in what
particular phrase of language the principle be
couched or by what form of legislation it be carried
into effect"
And the President of the Convention said:
Whether in 1860 or in 1864, the hour would yet
come when the bright sun would rise upon no mas
ter and set upon no slave. Ay, God lived,
these words were true; as sure as human hearts
peat and felt. Be faithful, men and brethren of the
tree States of the Union, after the of your
power, and old Kentucky and broad Missouri will
re'eeho your shouts and aid to carry your banner
