What is troubling q certain little Demo-
cratic clique in this city is. the fear that
Mr.. Leonard wiH be reelected. This would
disappoint certain Democrats great deal
more than his defeat. We are rather in
cined to the opinion that they think Mr..
Thorington is the only man who can beat
Mr.. Leonard, and for that reason they are
exceedingly anxious not to have him run
for County Judge.-Gdzette.

The Express says that the Americans, in Conyen-
ton have nominated Mr.. Havemeyer This is not
the truth, as may be seen by reference to
the address OF the American COmmi tee,
in smother column. The American COnyen.
ton. by means of an intrigue, first nomi-
mated Mr. Ogden on Friday night, Nov. IS, the
Convention adjourning over to Monday night, Nov.
-. At the adjourned meeting an animated and
prolonged discussion took place, and the Conyen-
ton arrived at the conclusion that by retaining
Ogden in the field they were only helping to elect
Fernando Wood. ThereupOn they reconsidered
the nomination of Ogden laid it on the table, and
by large majority, nominated Opdyke. AT this
body of those who had most zealously resisted the
withdrawal of Ogden, and who were in the mino-
rity on the FINAL vote nominating Opdyke, bolted,
and got up bogus Convention, at which they nomi-
mated Hayemeyer These are the simple facts.
Opdgke is The regular candidate Of the americans,
regularly nominated by their City Convention.
Whether the object Of the boilers really is to elect
Fernando Wood by drawing off votes from Opdyke,
il something which they know better than We do;
but il ia plain that such ia the tendency of their
action The suspicion that such is their purpose is
strengthened by The course Of The Express, which
would apparently prefer tho election of Wood to
that Of the regular Republican and American can
didEte.

TO uEsITATING REPUBLICANS,

u 1ttTe are any sheh HJI
That was admirable advice which an old legisla-
tor gave to his young successor" Always give the
"vote that won't need any explanation" That is
safe ard sure.
A Republican vote for Havemeyer tomorrow
will badly need explaining to every Republican out
Of our city as well as to nine-tenths of those in it.
II ia, manifestly, not vote toward electing Re
publican President In 1860. 1t is not a vote 10 re-
buke the past aggressions and the meditated fur
Their exactions Of the Slave Power. 1t is not vote
to electrify the hearts Of Republicans throughout
the Union 1t is not a vote TO diminish the local
msjority which oyerwhelms and the local despotism
that enthralls US in this City. 1t is not vote to
rebube the Registrar outrage nor the Fifth avenue
Hotel Manifesto. Republican reader will you not
endeaEor to dssuade any of your friends from cast
ing that vote?

Among the Vice-Presidents at the Havemeyer
of Mr.. Richard T. Compton, late President Of the
Board known as the Forty Thieves, and Mr. Oliver
Charlick, George Laws right hand man, aud one
of the most noted eOruptiOnists of the city. These
are both such intimate friends of Mr.. Hayemeyer
that he recommended them as candidates for Mayor
to the Peoples Committee in 1857, when be refused
to stand against the Tammany nominee. But the
name of Gershom Cohen, Mr.. Hayemeyer's third
friend, is omitted. Whyf
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1859-12-05

Tammany herself begins to feel that her selfPres-
eryaton demands she should throw her vote TO-
Mr.. Opdyke. The election of Wood would be the
death -kne of the Tammany organization and its
leaders are too shrewd to throw away their votes
on man whom they now know they cannot elect.
As an indication of this, We note that at the Tam
many meeting on Saturday evening, while great
and lugubrious effort was made to rdicule the NOM
nation of Mr. Hull, not word was said against
Mr. Opdyke. Indeed, John McKeon eulogized him
as follows:
The Republicans have presented gentleman against whom
have word say gentleman Of the highest integrity
a against whom have heard one word-Mr OPP
dyke"
This is q clear indication that the Tammany
managers mean, in case of need to poll sufficient
number of votes for Opdyke to defeat Wood, and
that they would Ike votes for Tilden in exchange.
Let Republicans show, by solid vote for Solomon
L. Hull that they need no such bargaining.

Hsvssysr "a certain OF receiving thousand. o. Reggoea1
y0tes." Nv.
Tbi. short line tells the whole story. Mr.. Have
never was nominated because the Tammany lead
ems supposed that he would draw of Republican
votes. and help them to keep Jim Irving, Johnny
Austin, Tom Bynes, and other similar ornaments
of Tammapy in good Offices; and, what is OF more
consequence TO them, help them to seats N the
Charleston Convention.
But the folly of this calculation is already APP
parent to everybody but The N. Y. Times.
The number of Democratic votes given to Op-
dyke will be- al least three times as great as that OF
Republican votes given TO Hayemeyer.
Where ia the evidence that the Republicans are
going to support the Tammany candidate So few
Republicans signed the call for the Exchange meet
ing that the whole thing was ridiculous Not sin
gle Republican has spoken before any Hayemeyer
sssemblage Not Republican newspaper advo-
Gates the cause of Tammany; and the Republicans
were never go much alive nor so active in the sup
port Of their own ticket
No, No The Republicans will all vote for OPP
dyke; and, with the help of Americans, Peoples
men, Independent Democrats, and no-party tax
PAYERS, they riH elect him !

Very manyths large majority Of those who support Mr..
OpyE DO have doubt because they believe alone
defeat Fernando Wood. II we thought so should act
with them. THE ~ \. Times
Ha hs bOyl ssy thou sO art thou there true psnnyl
Hamlet
When the canvass began The ". Y. Times had
nothing but denunciation and abuse for the sup
porters of Opdyke. The least it could say Of them
was that they were conspiring to elect Fernando
Wood. But now that Havemeyer has gradually
sunk down into the mere proportions of the poti-
cal representative of Tammany Hall, while the
People of all parties are concentrating on Opdyke,
our contemporary moderates his tone and improves
his manners. We recognize the change with
pleasure. We infer from it that by the time Mr..
opdyke is inaugurated at the City Hall our cotem-
porary viii perceive that the purpose for which he
was nominated was TO relieve tho city at once of
two evils and disgaces which are pretty nearly
equal, namely, Fernando Wood and Tammsny
Hall.

The contest between the rival Democratic fac
tous in our Municipal Election, is simply struggle
between Mozart Hall and Tammany Hall for front
seats in the Charleston Convention. The Seits
bavpg failed in the State election to get an indorse-
rnent of their bold stroke in the selection OF the
seyenty.fiv delegates at Syracuse, are laborng
desperately to retrieve their position with the pres
tge of Municipal triumph. If Wood should
happen to get more votes than Hayemeyer, he
would doubtless obtain seats for at least thirtyye
Hard delegates at Charleston-much to the annoy
ance of Seymour, Cagger & Co. Knowing this,
the Softs are moving heaven, earth, and the other
place, to push Havemeyer ahead of Wood. 1t is
very pretty fight as it stands and all discreet Re-
publcans will leave the combatants to tug at each
Others throats, while they carry Opdyke over the
heads of both. "Let the potsherds strive with the
80 potsherds, and dash each other in pieces
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1859-12-05

Threats are muttered that the prescription in times
past inflicted on Republican merchants for publicly
asserting their principles is now to be applied to
those who go for Hayemeyer. The temper of the
South so il ia said is such that even the act Of
supporting for Mayor of New-YOrk man who was
once Free Soiler, and who came near voting for
Fremont, is not to be forgiven. All men dealing
with the South viii henceiorth be- subjected to
stricter surveillance than ever; and beginning is
10 be made by cutting of the trade Of those who are
known AZ connected with the Hayemeyer move
ment.
For our part, we shall have no regrets to ex-
pend over such an attempt to coerce Northern
men. We presume that good many who have
hitherto had more or less the appearance OF going
upon their bellies, win come erect, defiant, end
manlike, out of the process

The Tammany meeting at the Cooper Institute,
on Saturday evening was well attended, ~ the
result of orders from the City Inspectors Depart
ment, Custom House, and Post-Office. As to
bands banners and calcium Lights, it was got up
regardless of expense. John +. Deyelin, in calling
the meeting to order, attempted to explain the ap-
parent slur upon him in Mr.. Hayemeyers letter OF
acceptance. Jas. B. Nicholson, Secretary OF the
Balance Dock Co.. of which Samuel j. Tilden is n
principal stakeholder and manager, presided. Of
the speakers Jas. T. Brady demolished Fernando;
John Van Buren, figured Opdyke out, and, in e1-
planning bis trucking to the Irish at Tamnany
Hall, made it worse, ending by saving the Union;
John McKeOn gave the documents on Fernando,
and eulOgized Opdyke and Havemeyer; Thos. +.
Meagher said he should vote for Havemeyer, as De
Peyster Ogden had retired; and Michael Doheny
said that great many Irishmen had implored him
not to come there and set his face against his own
people.

The Republicans have done noby in the canvas
for the Mayoralty, but we should be guilty Of 10.
Justice did we not state the fact that the Amer.
cans, though fewer in numbers, have fully equaled
them in zeal and industry. No small part Of The
triumph, which we believe will be achieved in tho
election of Mr. 0pdyke tomorrow, will be due to
their untripg efforts. Where many have done well
it is almost invdious to mention single names; bu!
we believe that Messrs. A. J. II. Duganne, Daniel
Ullmann, and r. F. Andrews have rendered scr.
vices to the good cause which should not DO for.

The principal organ of the Havemeyer specula'
ton has at last ventured upon some figures with
regard to the present Mayoralty contest 1t esti-
mates that Wood will have One-half Of the Demo-
crate vote, which it estimates at 10000, Thus
Wood has 10000 and Hayemeyer 10000. And
what possible ground, naIvely asks our Havemeyer
organ, have the Republicans for supposing that
they can cast over 10000 votes'
We will answer this question. The Republicans
cast in 1853 above 81 900 votes, and in 1857 above

thing like the excitement which now prevails; in

Our thanks are due to John Van Dureu. Re
has foretold the election Of Havemeyer and the d.
feat of Opdyke, and has put it into figures. lie
didn't do it quite so splendidy as he did when Be
said that Buchanan would carry the State By
$4,000 and then by $4,000 majority, after which
the Republicans went and gave it to Fremont; but
he cyphered out Hayemeyer's election sufficiently
to render that of Opdyke pretty certain. Only
let us remember that in this city Tammany Hal
has the Post-Ofhce, the Custom House, and
the City Government, with all their patron
age, while Wood has his clubs aud bis
Irishmen. The Republicans, the Americans, and
the Independent voters have to beat them both

Never, in any Municipal election, have We known
such animation as now peryades the city. The
great Republican meeting of Thursday night was
but the center Of series Of similar demonstrations
in majority of the Wards Of the city. AT all oil
them the same confidence, the same high enthusl-
asm the same unainching steadiness OF purpose,
were manifested. In these great demonstrations
We had a cheering assurance Of the Vital Hold
which Republican principles have upon the members
Of the party. Whatever happens, thus much is
certain-,hat the Republicans Of New-fork stand
immoyably by their fsg.
And now. Friends To work A whole day is
before w. in which TO confirm our forces fully ar
ray our strength, and make entirely ready for the
glorious victory which is within our grasp to NOR
rvw. And let if be- borne in mind that il is q VIC
tory for which good men Of all other parties rA ore
as a dek Of gratitude Let US save New-York from
the danger Of Fernando Wood; let us snatch it
from the yultures of TammaDy Hall; and there is
no taxpayer, there is no honest citizen Of any
school OF politics, who, after the election over
aud the excited feelings of partisanship have
become Gained who viii not say that We have done
well. Therefore, let not only every Republican, but
every independent taxpayer who is not restrained
BY engagements that cannot be escaped, gire his
day and tomorrow TO the public ssrriee. There is no
occasion for more meetings. it is the quiet, noise
less effort that now is wanted. Let every man
visit bis doubtful neighbors aud acquaintance, con-
yerse with them, and, if possible, convince them
that il is their duty, as citizens of New-York, to
vote for GEORGE OPDYKE. Let each one spend
this evening especially in this good work. We need
rot here repeat the reasons which ought to bring
every voter to this conclusion; they are already
clear as light in the mind and the heart of every
one who has thoroughly examined the subject.
A thousand earnest men, whe should spend
this day and eyaping in the manner we have indi.
Gated, might add votes enough to the strength OF
Opdyke to render his majority not merely sufficient,
but overwhelming.
And then tomorrow let US oil not only vote, but
see that all our friends and neighbors vote also
Let each man be vigilance committee not merely
in appearance, but in deed. And thus Newfork
will certainly be redeemed
