Union.

1t is proposed that the American State Conven-
ton shall be held at Syracuse on the eth prOximo
the day already fixed upon for the meeting of the
Convention of the Republicans. This proposal is
advocated BY The Buffalo Commercial advertiser
and The DrnkJk Journal, on the ground that it
offers the only effective means Of bringing the two
parties to such cooperation - will certainly and
totally Illustrate any effort on the part of the Dem
ocrats to obtain the control Of the State 10 the CON-
Ing election. We trust that the suggestion may be
adopted BY the proper authorities 10 the American
party and that the two Conventions may thus be
held at the same time and place.
1t il almost needless for Us to state that We are
now, as we long have been, earnestly in favor of
union, which, without any sacrifice principles on

Is one Of row of frame houses occupied as drygoods
stores and dwellings, extending from Blocker street
10 the Sixth avenue So rapidly did the flames spread
that al one time the whole row was in jeopardy but
through the exetions Of the fremen the hames were
speedily subdued. The damage to Mr.. Jscksons
stock and building is estimated at $500 or l,ooo

The stock in the adjoining store was CONSIDERABLY
damaged.

GOING THROUGH Tas MOTIONS.

Why the little handful Of men IN Massachusetts
WHO call themselves Democrats should think 1t
necessary, at stated intervals, TO hold meetings, to
make speeches, and to pass resolutions may be
within their comprehension, bat is certainly with
out ours The Only possible object Of these dem
opstr.tions must be 10 titillate the soul OF Mr.
James Buchanan, who is the only human being
who can gather from these oratorical and revolu-
tionsry exercises the smallest comfort. Mr.. James
may enjoy the reports. He may dilate with emo
,ions almo,t too large for any ordinary creature
when be reads that in the opinion Of Messrs.
Thompson and Sawyer of Massachusetts,, he is the
biggest patriot remaining unincarcersted in Co
lumbs. He has been 90 long left in the lonesome
category of general disesteem, that it may be
solace to him to hear that Mr Edward Riddle still
admi1es him. And Dir. Edward Riddle does.

DICKINSON AID WOOD.

Immediately after the second meeting of the
Astor House Hards, We advised Mr.. Dickinson,
While keeping one eye upon Mr Peter Cagger and the
State COMMITTEE to fix the other intentlg upon Dir.
Fernando Wood, the Chairman of the Astor House
Committee; in .imatDg at the same time that the
latter might be managing for himself in this matter
of selecting delegates to Charleston, quite as much
as for Mr.. ID. From what TRANSFERRED at the recent
me etlng of the State Commit ee, We see that Gov
advice. He has evidently kept vigilant watch
over the e1 Mayor 1t would seem that be and his
friends are Of the opinion that Mr.. Wood, in this
Charleston affair, is looking fret to his own inter.
ests which 10 very natural for him; and, secondly,
to those of Gov. Wise, which is no doubt very
agreeable to him, though from letter Of the Gov
errors, cl,Ddes,inely exhibited at the meeting of
the State Committee, it would appear that be has
DO very eIslted opinion of Woods influence.
Upon the whole, then, We think Mr.. Dickinson
10, only has his eye upon the eIMayor, but Is
getting little jealous of him-which We regret.
We advise Mr. d. to overlook little double dealing
in these matters If be intends to make bis future
bed Wild the SOILS, ne must eAPect W Comc into
close fellowship with good deal Of cheating.
At the time We rendered this advice to Mr.
Dickinson, We took the liberty Of suggesting to
Mr. Wood that if be attempted to cope in diplo-
matte strategy with the Soft leaders, he would fail
AS siensly as did Dame Darlington in her effort to
oyerrescb the Atlantic Ocean with her mop in the
pres, storm at Sldmouth We don't know what
the e1 Nsyor now thinks Of our estimate of the
relative capacity Of the high contracting parties to
the recent Democratic Conference st Albany; but
We doubt not every body else sees q confirmation
Of the truth of our suggestion in the cool and quiet
NAPIER in " hch the State Committee Disposed ofthe
subject-Uatter presented 70 their consideration BY
the Astor House Hards, Of which Mr. Wood WAS
the organ. Like Abolition petitions, under the
Gag Rule Of Congress, some twenty years ago, it
appears to have been laid on the table without
reading reference, or any further action whstever
thereon.
This defeat Of both Dickinson and Wood is an
admirable specimen OF the peculiar tactics of the
New-YOrk Sofia By playing the one of against
the other, they have efectualy betrayed and de-
stroyed both. They frat convinced Dickinson that
Wood was cheating him. They then satisfied
Weed that Dickinson Was merely using him.
