New York City Pontics-NIovements OF Par
ties fbr our November and December Elec-
lions.
While at their late State Council at Albany
the American party have agreed to 20 up to
Syracuse on the Sth of September (the place
end day appointed for the Republican State
Convention), to see if they oan bring about
coalition between the two parties upon COM
mon State ticket and platform the agents in
terested on both sides have not been neglecting
the policy Of q combined movement against the
democracy in this metropolis, in our approach
ing November and December elections. In be-
half Of this combination the following 'calr'
has been put into circulation
Public hurNo.-The electors Of the city and county q
New York. who are opposed to the present national ad

Among the mixed commission" signing this
call are suob notable Ieformers as Horace
Greeley, Joseph Blunt, Ersstus Brooks, Simeon
Baldwin, James de Peyster Ogden and others,
republicans Americans, old line wings, &c.
The platform UPON which they propose to meet
opposition to the Kansas policy Of the admins
tration; a law requiring the adopted citizen
to have been naturalized one year before voting;
sregistry law; and law against the importation
offoreign convicts and paupers'-make up about
as modest an abridgment of both the republican
and American creeds as either party could de-
mand. And we must confess that If the repub-
lican anti slavery platform, when cut down TO
the simple issue of hostility to the administra-
ton Oh account of the Lecompton constitution,
will not satisfy the noPopeIy faction, it will be
useless to make any further efforts to conciliate
them. So, on the other hand, if the rabid emit
Popery, anti Irish Catholic and intensely nativ-
list creed of Know Nothingism, when diluted to
a registry lava law Withholding the elective
franchise from aliens until they shall have been
one year naturalized-anda law against foreign
Migrants, will not satisfy the black republicans
then we may pronounce the mildest mixture of
aDti-Popery and anti slavery an impossible
thing.
This fusion meeting, 1t will be observed, is
bInited to the Issues which will enter
into our November election, and, according
to the Tribune, the special object in view
is to send to the next Congress . delegation
of members from this city "who, whether
personally republicans or Americans, shall
oppose oil attempts to plant slavery in the
federal Territories" and to send to the State
Legislature such men "as will do their utmost
TO prevent corrupt naturalization and illegal
voting" Massa Greeley further assures us that
'every republican who unites in this attempt
may hold the doctrine Of no more slave States
II be sees fit, as every American may insist on q
tventy-one years residence preliminary to
naturalization, or even oppose any naturaliza-
ton at ALL" but these are extra individual
privileges which arc not to appear in the COM
mon platform Of the holy alliance very In
genious and beautiful distinction.
The republican and American State Conven-
ventions meet at Syracuse on the 9Th Of Sep
tember this city fusion meeting upon the plat.
form laid down is to come of on the 9th Ii
may, therefore be considered as an initiative
experiment in behalf OF fusion at Syracuse, and
according to the result here we may anticipate
The result there. And here the combination Of
last December, which resulted in the election Of
Mayor Tiemann, suggests anything but the
impracticability Of the amalgation OF our
republicans and Know Nothings upon
the basis proposed. The scheme of fu-
sion advanced has been evidently well
considered between the high contracting
parties, and that which has been agreed upon
between the managers on both sides, IL may be
ASSUMED will be satisfactory to the bulk of their
followers With the general plan Of the comb
nation thus agreed upon the secondary details
Of candidates may be readily arranged.
II is highly probable, therefore, that even in
the event Of a failure at Syracuse 10 bring the
republicans and Americans together upon a
common State ticket, the two parties in this city
will secure coalition upon their candidates for
Congress and the Legislature. In this view,

result pointed out the future policy Of the oppo.
