ments and tender caresses which have passed between
know nothingsm and black -republicanism with "a view
to marriage which would unite the family proper
ty, and build up the fallen fortunes OF both houses
after the wedding day fixed the cake ordered and
the guests hidden to the feast suddenly hear that ut
is all broken OFF and that too for dscreditabe
reasons. Black-repnbcanism promised ample settle
ments abundant pocket and pin money, and hand
some jonture but know nothingism wanted more than
mere promise deeds properly signed sealed,
and delvered and when those were not forthcoming back
ed cut with Just Indignation Yes the fusion over
lhe peoples party has not been formed and the union
of the opposition still remains thing to be desired by
the Commercial Advertiser The match makers cannot
be blamed for the result They abored hard and long
Threats coaxing, argument, brides, champagne and
whiskey all tried by the chiefs of the fusion but to
purpose and the conventions broke up having noni
mated separate tickets and having abused each other
with warmth and vigor which excluded polteness MI
Morgan the black republican candidate Tor governor Is
very respectable merchant of this city and was lead
ing member Il believe, chairman) Of the republican
convention IN 1856 He is Ihurlow- w eed Seward
republican Of the deepest dye, and was the promi-
nent financial manager and wire-puler IN New York
for Fremont during the last presidential campaign.
'sThe blood Of all the Kings" has been outragcousy
treated Hon. John A. was a candidate, and got only
four votes although was well known that he was most
anxious not to return to Jamaica for two years longer
Lorenzo Borrows the know nothing nominee for gov
ernor halls from Albion, Orleans county was member
Of the 3s and SD Congresses and is Of the strongest
men In the dark lantern party Both parties have put
their best foot foremost and are resolved TO fight the
battle out with oil their strength and war to the knife
has taken the place Of the cordial cooperation which
the New York Tribune, Express, and Commercial Adver-
tiser have earnestly recommended.
The consequence will be that the united democracy
win sweep the State by immense majority--far larger
than that with which won in 1851. The republicans
readiness To yield large and important portion of
their abotonsm will ALLEVIATE all the really honest IA
natics who believe i'm the ''man and a brother and
Unce-Tom policy on the slavery question and their
Willingness to agree that foreign born citizens shall
wait year after naturalization before they vote
will deprive them of the support Of the German re-
publicans who did such good service In the Fremont
campaign and the fence-men of their party, who
Joined them because they thought republicansm was
going TO win, and who have been waiting for an oppor-
tunty TO descend decenty and go over, will
brace the occasion of doing with much apparent
priety. The know-nothngs will also suffer from the
eaoe their leaders ready to FORM and the fence
of their organization whose name is legion, will
jump down with alacrity from their unpleasant po-
sition and seek other associations The former demo-
Gratis who were led away into know nohingism three
years ago will certainly return to their first love- and the
straight native Americans will be more hostile than
ever to the black republicans, Who tried to cheat
them into a fusion and abandonment of their
principles From all these causes the democrats
will gain immense accessions of strength, and their
nominations the 10th inst will 1t Is confidently ex
peced be of that high character as TO command the re-
spect and support of every in their own party and
Of a considerable portion of their opponents Our pros
poets brighter. Confidence in the frmness,
integrity and wisdom of Mr. Buchanan and his cabinet
every day becoming general and the determine
ton to endorse him this fall by immense vote in ia
vor Of national democracy is hourly widespread and
more emphatic. Nothing now cloud our pros
poets but indiscretions To forget old feuds
and squabbles and frown down every attempt to
split ranks and create factions in favor of amb
tons individuals is the paramount duty of every nation
al democrat and that that duty will be ably and energet
icay performed have the best reason to believe The
who would strive to revive the buried destruction Of
piz
rate conventions, ID in my estimation, as much traitor
10 the party the democrat who would support Haskn
Clark for reelection to Congress
The former Of these aforementioned worthless was utter
ly crushed yesterday. There meeting held at Ford
ham, Wcstchester county, Of the first assembly district
convention for the purpose Of elecng delegate to rep
the district in tho State convention BY unan
nous vote Edward Haght, esq., president of the Bank
OF the Commonwealth, elected Mr.. Haight is a
sterling national democrat gentleman of large fortune
great influence acknowledged ability, and well-deserved
popularity. He is saunch friend and supporter of Mr.
Bachapans administration, and consequently most ac
tive opponent Of Mr. Haskns reelection and of all his
political schemes aud intrigues His unanimous election
delegate Is therefore, to be considered unanimous
condemnation of Hin and were there any to doubt
this fact the following resolutions, which ''enthus
astically and unanimously adopted would etectually
remove IT, copy them with unaoyed satisfaction, be-
they exactly express my own sentiments because
they fully verify all my predictions as to the result OF the
struggle In the 9th congressional district and bear out
Of that district Here they arc:
,ecf (as democracy of the assembly

Poor John ID. present when they read and il
II were possible to feel any compassion for whose
reacherous conduct has deserved the most condgn pun
ishment he might have been pitisd when he heard his
death warrant pronounced amid the deacnng shouts
OF the men whose interests he so basely betrayed
record these successes with intense satisfaction, no,
only account Of their present value but because they
furnish such abundant and well grounded hope OF future
triumph in the Empire State.
