So mud6 for the rump Of the Fillmore Ameri-
con party. They are in the market They

Brooks and his s'et put up their price at SO high
figure that there is no prospect of a bargain
The Chevalier Webb, indeed turns up his nose i'll
perfect disgust at the mpudence OF the overtur es
laid down by the Exprtvs; the Epening Post is
equally disguised at the idea Of giving BOBBY
Brooks the place of Thurlow Weed, and the
amiable TburlOw himself says our only terms
are those Of an unconditional capituati0n.
Consequently, the rump Of the late great Anne
ricsn fzzle is greatly excited; and American
State councils and American State conventions,
in view of Q separate American State, Con-
gressional and Legislative ticket for November,
are the order Of the day. The chances, there
fore, in this State, are decidedly in favor of
republican ticket under the wing OF Seward,
and separate American ticket under the ban
ner of Crittenden. These two parties. We
think. may be safely predicted from the circum
stances detailed and from the late mysterious
silence of Gen Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs in
reference to Fillmore and Seward coalition
upon bleeding Kansas and the "sggressions
of the slave power"
The rump of the Know Nothing party iu this
State may possibly have FILTERED away to fifty
thousand votes under the management of the
central junta; but if these fifty thousand votes
shall be turned over to the democratic side, as
it is threatened they will be, Sewardism will
be laid out fiat in November, with any.
thing approaching to union and concert
Of action among the democracy. But the
troubles of the Seward republicans do not stop
here. A call has been issued for an independent
Temperance and Freedom" convention at
Syracuse on the 4th Of August with view to
the nomination of Gerrit Smith as the "Tem-
perance and Freedom" party candidate for
Governor. We should not be at all surprised
Seward republican camp full fifty thousand ad-
vocates of a prohibitory liquor law, and State
notification of the Fugitive Slave law.
With this visible prospect, therefore, of the
division Of the opposition elements of the State
into three separate parties in our November
election, there is fine opening for our terrified
democracy, and "a long pull, strong pull,
and pull all together" They are lying dor
mant, at present, like frogs at the bottom of a
pond before the breaking up of hard winter
What with Lecompton, Senator Douglas, and
the Tammany squabbles about the spoils of the
Custom House, the democracy Of the Empire
City and the Empire State are, indeed sadly
down in the mouth. But as Lecompton is
now out of the way, and as the broils over the
Custom House plumber have been brought to a
focus, and as the opposition forces, instead of
waiting, are breaking to pieces, now is the time
for the dismantled democracy to repair
damages and right the ship. New York may
be restored into the democratic line this fall
and with New York thus redeemed, Seward
will be put down, and the good work Of
democratic national reunion for 1860 will be
more than half completed Lot tho democracy
stir their stumps.
