The Election in New York.

An ADDRESS appears IN The New YORK
papers of TIE Oath, from the Chairman
(JOshua ]. Henry )fund the cOmmitte Of the
Union men in New York, directed ITO
the Friends Of the Union," In which, after
elluding 10 Gov. Morgan's shout of triumph
tina, Lincoln sis already elected" and "that
what remains 10 lie done, in the deliberate
voting of the people Of the State, is but
q formal 40, TO execute an irrevocable Re-
nuLIIean Decree" it is said that this pro-
clama,ion of triumph by the Governor OF
New York, has produced profound i'm
preston tn ougbout the country.
Tie address closes with these state
nents.
The Republicans declare, In view Of the
events which surround their expected sue
cess, that submission shall be enforced
Can there be such thing as conquered
submission by one half of Republican
Government, against the other resisting
portion? Is not the argument destruc-
lion?
II the time shall ever arrive when that
shall be the end? To which section will
be the victory, and how shall the conquest
be maintained?
These are considerations which now en-.
force themselves upon the public mind
they are the thoughts of this hour, this Time
of trial and danger, and must be met and
answered.
Sh Il The extremity be reached when it
is in the power of the people of this state
10 extend the hand of protection 10 theis
threatened brethren Of the South, and to
proclaim that fanalicism, aggression and
wrong shall never be permitted TO make
war against those with whom we are allied
in terms of amity, peace and fraternity?--
Are we prepared 10 have the prosperity and
welfare of The whole country placed IN je-
opardy, while we hold the means of assur-
ed safety within our grasp? Tan our pa
triotic men hesitate in their answer Let
but this period oil danger be passed, and
our country will be anchored in safety, and
slavery agitation will never again be found
an element Of threatened peril TO cur exis-
tence as united people. Perpetual peace
will be enduring reward if we now sue
coed. But, il this conflict be pushed to the
last extremity, who can estimate the conse.
9uences?
We feel assured that the people Of This
State vii! rise to the emergency, and prove
themselves equal 10 the duty which has
devolvtd upon Ii. N. We are justified in
declaring that the announcement Of the Ex-
eculive at Albany is without warrant from
al III
cast their votes regardless Of the proclama-
tion of the Governor, on The side Of the q.
ro', and on behalf of the constitution;
rights of every section Of our country.
Determined and vigorous organization is
going on in every county and district Of The
State, and we have the most cheering &C.
counts of good work being done BY the
National men of New York everywhere
within our borders, from the lakes 10 the
ocean, clearly indicating that, If we viii but
labor 10 the end: The coming election will
be crowned with triumphant victory TO our
cause. The UNION upon DIR Electoral
Ticket is perfect, unbfOken and unchaDge-
able.
This great commercial city, true 10 the
interest and duty which ii owes 10 the
union Of the. States, which is the foundation
Of its growth, IFS power and lis pros perity,
will give m overwhelming vote against
Lincoln and Republicanism. This State
has ever been conservative and loyal 10 the
Union. .New York has nerer yet g,ren a
majority on the whole rote in tarOr of Re-
pu5licanism, and we firmly believe she
never will.
At the last Presidential election this
State gave combined vote against the Re-
publican candidate Of 800. 482, while Free
mont received tut 276,000, showing a con.
sentative majority of nearly As 900.
In 1853, the United vote against Morgan
for Governor, was 29l 1893, while the lat
ter polled but 2+7, 1853 votes yielding ma.
iority against him, if the vote had been con-
centraled. of 43 400.
At the election of last year, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Secretary Of State uni.
ting the opposition vote. was elected over
the Republican candid;te. .....
Although the Union majority on that &C.
casion was not as great as the previous
election, the returns show that The deficiency
arose wholly from The want Of sufficient
interest at this end of the State 10 bring
OIL, full vote. To prove this in 1856, the
combined Union vote in the counties of
New York and Kings was 81 ,656, against
25. 6lI for Fremont-showing a Union
majority Of 5000 votes while The aggre-
gate Union vote last year in these two
counties was but 81 ,504. without any SEN
sible increase TO the Republican vote, prov.
ing that nearly $4,000 Union voter, re-
manned away firm the polls, as compared
wslh 1856.
Since 1856 the number of voters in these
two counties increased at least one.ihird,
preserving the like ratio against the Re.
publicaDs. 1t must therefore be obvious
that New York and Kings counties have
but TO do their duty 10 give a majority Of
over 20 600 votes in favor of the Union E.
lectoral ticket, majority more than sufi.
cient 10 trumphanlly overcome the Repub-
-, 81, fofo
