is 40 use in conoeaing the truth
The above we copy from the New York cores
pondence Of the New Orleans Crescent. We leg
10 call attention TO the opinions and conclusions
SO positively stated by one who knows well tho
political sentiment Il the North, and whosc words
of warning should not DO permitted TO fall upon
listless and insttentive esrs.
Tho late State election in New Foik shows too
plainly what we-have To expect in 1860, and con'
firms the sntcipations Of the writer above quoted.
In that election, the combined vote Of the Demo
Gratis and Americans was barely sufficient to over
come the strength Of the Black Republicans, 1t
is manifest that tho Democratic pnrty of New
York IL stronger with State ticket than it will
be with Presidential ticket healed by the nom
nee of the Charleston Convention. Tho result o!
a straight contest in 1860 in that State, between
the Black Republican candidate on one side. and
the Charleston candidate on tho other. will verify
the prediction Of the above wri,er.and Seward will
carry the State by one hundred and fifty thousand
majority.
This decides the question Of the next prcsiden.
tial election. With Now York tho South VIII be
successful ,thout New York, the election is lost.
Nothing can save the Sonth but the very plan
suggested by this correspondent wit. "a new
and grand rally" and n coordination Of tho
Conservative Opposition"
Such q combination can be organized bv the
Southern Opposition If the Democracy will agree
to enter into it. but caaaot be. organized by tho
Democracy. even with the aid Of the Southern OPP
position. The conservative Opposition Of the
North will NOT vote for the Charleston candidate,
and thus the Charlest on candidate must ine,ita
bly, be defeated. They sUM vote for candidates
presented by the Southern Opposition. aud, mus
much as they h old the balance Of power in New
York, the South may thus be saved from sec
ii r. s~. nha -
for the proper carrying out of this 7lan. it NEG
essary that the Democracy abandon the futile
hope of electing the Charleston nominee aud en-
ter cordially. North and South. into the supper,
of ticket put forward under the auspices OF the
Southern Opposition.
1t was the general impression. Mt tic time u,
Harper's Ferry invasion took place, that that or
cumstance would put an end to the Black Repub
lican party. II was thought that there were hon
est, but misguided men, in that party who, seoinl
such results Of the 'iressible conflict ns tho 20
rag upon Harper's Ferry, would shrink back witt
horror from all further association with such Al
organization. But what has been the real effect
Elections have taken place in several cfthe Nor,t
srn States SINCE and the Black Republicans hay
actually increased in strength So far from |,
sing members by the Harper's Ferry affair, tn
party has materially gained in power, and pr
senss more bold and audaciaus trout than ey.
above quoted, "the old Brown fare-up has act
olty strengthened the Black Republicans"
Nor ia this the worst of it, The execution
Brown and his confederates will strengthen tt
party still more. "His hanging will furnish n,
munitien for ten thousand pulpits, and twtnty-6
hundred Republican papers" They will proclai
him martyr, and call upon the whole North
retalita's upon the South for the execution Of
man that they profess to believe was honest in h
intentions.
1t is easy enough to foresee ,he result " ,
'tnis. Unless there be new diversion Of the c,
rent Of political events, the whole North will
come thoroughly Aboltionised and Black Il
publican triumph 10 1860 be one Of the absolu
.certainties of the future.
