Hale and others, and that they, In their intense
selHshness, and to forward their political or
commercial speoulations, suffered the project to
ripen and to bear the disastrous fruit that 1t
has borne. They-not the crazy fanatic John
Brown-are the real culprits; and 1t is they,
not he, who, If justice were fairly melted out,
would have to grace the gallows.
Our November Eleotion-The Three State
lution.
Late events have given to our impending
November election On extraordinary degree Of
importance. What Is the prospects viii the
Empire State throw herself into the breach
against the enemies of the Union, or will she
continue to lead the great Northern crusade
organized for the suppression Of Southern sla-
very? These and similar questions, as the
decisive day approaches, may be heard upon
every side. They are questions, however,
which cannot be satisfactorily answered, as
simple statement Of the present condition of
our political parties will abundantly show.
We have three State tickets in the field, fact
which necessarily would seem to involve the
existence of three contending parties. It is
very widely suspected, however, that the third
party to the contest was practically disbanded
in the formation of the third ticket by the
American Utica State Convention "a ticket
which, composed Of one-han the republican
and one.half the democratic ticket, can hardly
be classed with fish, fowl or red herring. 1t is
also charged that this hybrid or mixed ticket
was desperate invention of Scroggs, Ullmann
and Brooks to sell out their stock in the ex-
ploded American party at something above its
real value in the market; that they have failed
to strike bargain, and that their bold attempt
to dispose of their party for their own selfish
purposes has only resulted in its precipitate
dissolution into its original elements
OF the truth or falsity Of these allegations we
know nothing, nor are the motives and selfish
objects of Scroggs, Ullmann and Brooks entitled
to a moments consideration in the broad and
general view In which we are about to treat
the subject We have, then, three State tickets
before the people, complete republican
ticket, complete democratic ticket, and an
American made.up ticket, adopting one-half
and rejecting one-half Of each of these two
complete rival tickets. Thus, should the entire
republican or democratic ticket be elected, the
result may be regaS2ed as q more complete
party victory than any other which has oc-
CURED in this State for many years; but
should the mixed ticket be elected, and bv q
heavy plurality. hail nave more I'M
portant practical result than that Of any politi-
cal election in any State since the October
election of Pennsylvania which decided the
issue Of the last Presidential campaign.
A result of this kind would administer q
wholesome rebuke to the demoralized demo-
cratic party, to its corrupt managers of the Al
bany Regency, and to the revolving rufdanism
of Tammany Hall on the one side, and crush
ing blow to that arch agitator, W. II. Seward,
and his "irrepressible" disunion conflict on the
other. A popular rebuke of this sort, involv-
ing alike the corrupt managers of the democ-
racy and the reasonable doctrines of the
Amounted head Of the republican party, Is very
desirable, and the thing can be done in the elec-
ton of this mixed State ticket. Its success will
show that between the demoralized democracy
and the sectional republicans there is in New
York q popular balance of power competent to
rule them both, and to shape the grand pro-
gramme for 1860 upon broad, practical, ma
tional issues.
In view of this achievement, the results of
our last November election are by no means
discouraging. In that election, "a compared
with our Presidential returns of 1856, the re-
publicans lost 10000 on the popular vote, the
democrats gained $4,000, and the American
party was diminished one-haf, that Is to say,
some GO, 900 votes. From these figures It will
be seen that between the active republican and
democratic forces of last year there is an indie
pendent and reserved force of the popular vote
of 1856, Of sufficient strength to elect the third
party or mixed State ticket Of the present year
by plurality of over 100000.
Vote of 1853 for Morgan Observation-Disclosures. 247 1853
Vote OF 1858 for Parker. .230,5l3
Now let us look at the loose materials as be-
tween these two parties, allowing that the in
creased democratic vote of last year was drawn
from the American camp
American vote OF last November ............ 10000
American vote in reserve Observation-Disclosures 10000
Republicans not voting last year $1,000
Total. Tx, 900
The bulk of which, perhaps, may be made
available in November, in behalf of new par
ty movement for the Presidency against both
the rotten democracy and the Seward republi-
cans.
Thus it will appear that both these unsatis-
factory parties may be rebuked in this State in
November, By plurality Of hundred thousand
for the m'ised ticket, and simply by the third
party playing off the one against the other.
