New-York daily tribune., 1858-10-06

the tricks and lodges BY which the great issue "a
sought to be evaded. In the first Plsce, the anti
Lecoupton strength is doomed 10 be divided snd
to grave extent arrayed against itseI. Grrri'
Smith will draw off and throw sway some Twenty
FIVE Thousand votes, every one of them cast D!
men who utterly condemn and sbhor the Lec"Inp-
ton fraud and its hackers, yet 20 cast that they VIII
have no more effect than If thrown into the Red
Sea. Lorenzo Burrows will poll perhaps fIit!
Tbousand more, every one Of them antl-LrcomP'on'
(for the Pro-Slsvery American. will vote directly
for Parker) yet these Fifty Thoussnd VIII Avail
nothing in the result. If Parker is chosen Cover
nor though by DO more than two-hths OF me en'ire
poll, bis success will resOund through the and :"
verdict Of New.York in favor of James Buchanan
and the general policy which will render his rule
memorable for generations. While, therefore,
probably Sevent, five Thousand snti-Lecompton,
anti. Buchanan votes will be cast for Bsrrow' and
Smith only those cast for Morgan will count E"
such in the popular estimate and in the PRACTICAL
result.
The last session Of Congre" was substantially
absorbed, consumed. by the efforts Of Buchanan
and Co. to force Kansas into the Union a. Slave
State or that failing, to brbe and cocrce her into
an acquiescence in that destiny. Finances, Public
Improvements, Retrcnchment, National Progress
in every shape. were postponed or subordlnated to
this object. Nothing was done, nothing attempted,
on the side Of the dominant party, but to borrow
money and spend it and to press the Lecompton
and English bills with the whole force of party
despotism and the whole patronage Of the Govern
ment And now, do those who thus staked their
all on single issue dare to face that issue before
the People, Do their candidates, their canvassers,
soy, 1--WE AK your votes for the Democratic
" tickets because the Presidents Lecompton policy
was wise, just and patriotic'" Who does not
know that they seek to belite and sink that policy,
to cause it to be ignored and forgotten Is there
not palpabe selfcondemnation and confession Of
judgment in this naked fact
They tell u.s. indeed that the Lecompton issue
is settled. If so, the next thing in order is to
settle with those who raised it. But how is it
settled Has not the Administration been dis
missing Democrats from Office all Summer and Fall
because Of their Oppositon TO its Leeompton
policy Would not any ten men still in our
Custom House be removed in week if they were
to avow Themselves anti-Lecompton' Is not every
steadfast snti.Lecompton Member Of Congress
opposed to the death BY the whole power and
patronage of the Government Is not the DemOc-
racy of Illinois distracted, divided and exposed to
defeat by the efforts of the President and his Office
holders TO unscat and put down Senator Douglas
because of his opposition to the Lecompton and
English bills How can Lecompton BE- a dead
issue for its advocates while they make it live
issue against its adversaries
Electors Of New-York if you consider the pol
icy of James Buchanan with regard to Kansas aud
Slavery fair and i,ist, vote for Amasa j. Parker
and bis colleagues on the Democratic ticket. All
the candidates for State Officers now before you
are fair men, and we presume either set of them
would eDdeavOr to serve you faithfully. AL Of
them are pledged 20 do their utmost To complete
our Public Works at the earliest possible day. We
presume all but GcIrit Smith are friendly to our
Public School System snd to the general State poll
icy hitherto pursued. But Mr.. Morgan aud his
Republican colleagues believe that Slavery should
be restricted to the States now upholdIng il, and
that all the remaining Territories Of the Union
should be eonsecratod to Free Labor and Free
Men-that this should be = paramount object with
the American People and their Government
Messrs Parker & Co.. on the other hand, hold a
position of nominal Indifference and uncOncern as
to the prevalence oi Free or Slave Labor in those
Territories but of real practical connivance at the
Extension of Slavery. Nobody can decenty pre-
tend that the Slave Power will be Indifferent or
idle with regard to this matter and indifference
on the part of the Free States dooms New Mexico,
Arizona and our future territories west and south
west from Arkansas to follow the fortunes and ac
cept the destiny of LOUISIANA Missouri, Texas.
If you believe Freedom better than Slavery for the
future cultyatOrs Of those vast Territories, say
at the polls
