la the event of any such disagreement be-
tween tire Seward ard Fillmore managers at
Syracuse, there will be a fine opening made for
he Democratic Convention. But how ssaad
the democracy of the Empire State: In this
city the Taumany and anti Tamnany cl'ques,
over the spoils Of the Custom House add the
Corporation, are now In q state of confusion,
oisorder discord and contention which pro
misses anything but a seasonable or
practical adjustment. Here and there, too,
throughout the State, we are admouished Of
the resuscitatiou of the old feud between the
hards and sotts, of jealousies against the
Albany lobby, Junta Of Richmond, Corning.
Crosswell d Co., and Of Douglas organs aud
Douglas sympathzers among the rank and file
Of the party.
Tits is a somewhat gloomy coloring Of the
condition Of the democracy Of this grsat and
important commonwealth; but there is a
brighter side of the picture, which should not
he overlooked The late elections in Missouri,
Kentucky and North Carolina show that prac-
teal reaction has commenced in the public
mind in favor of the administration Of Mr.
Buchanan and the party supporting 1t. The de-
feat Of Blair for Congress in the st. Louis die
trict shows that the Kansas excitement, upon
which be was first elected has served its pur-
pose, and can only be revived again through
the folly of the democratic party. Let it be
Understood and made known that the admins
with her present population, and as speedily as
possible, and in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New York and New Jersey, the effect
will work like q charm in the reunion of the
party: hut let the foolish and suicidal counsels
of the Washington onion and Charleston Mcr-
cry be understood as representing the policy of
the administration and the democratic party,
and there will soon be an end OF the democra-
tic revival so auspiciously commenced in the
late Southern elections.
In one word, if asked, can the democracy
succeed in any Northern State this fall, by
silly adhesion to the nonscnsical restric-
ton Of the English compromise, we should
answer, mo" On the other hand, upon
the basis Of o general agreement that the
Epglish restriction shall be no bar to the ad-
mission Of Kansas, the democracy may not only
retain their present Northern representation in
Congress, but they may secure some important
gains in the apr oaching Northern fall cleo
tons But We shall abandon all hopes of any
democratic Congressional gains, here or else
where. in the North, should the Syracuse Demo
cratic Convention adopt and proclaim the ruin
GUS nonsense Of the Washington Uaiop, concern
ing that useless and worse than useless, restric-
ton of the English bill, which. in the event Of
the rejection Of the Lecompton constitution,
would shut Of. the admission of Kansas until
she shall have acquired the full federal ratio
of $3.50 population.
Upon this point we have heretofore ex-
pressed our opinion that the Washington Union
represents neither the interests nor the wishes
OF the administration. 1t is only necessary to
turn TO Mr.. Buchanan's special Kansas message
to Congress to be convinced that his policy is
the admission of kansas at the first opportuni-
ty. regardless Of special enabling laws or re-
styictions. 1t only remains for the party to
second this policy, in order to make a good ex-
hibit in cur approaching fall elections for tho
next Congress and the next Presidency. This
English restriction is the last remaining rem
nant Of the Kansas difficulty upon which the
opposition neutrality-suspicious., Americans
and fshy democrats-can practically and gene
rally fuse; bat upon this they can fuse, for the
question involves asectioual pro-slsvcry issue Of
the most offensive character TO Nortbern mon,
and a most foolish and untcnablc discrimination
as between the I.ccompton and any other State
constitution for Kansas.
The opposition elements In Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania republicans and Know
Notbings- appear To have accomplished prac-
teal coalition. In this State the efforts OF
Greeley and others in the same direction seem
10 bc gaining ground upon the hostile policy Of
We, and Webb. The New York democracy,
therefore, would do well TO consult the Kansas
policy Of the administration, as given in Mr..
Buchanan's special Lccompton message, if
they would rob the opposition Of the last avail
able vestigc OF this Kansas agitation, snd turn
their guns against them Otherwise, the
Douglas detection viii be widencd, and the op-
position alliance will be strengthened under the
destructive counsels Of the Washington CniorA
