IN view vi lneir waning fortunes anO
the increasing certainty that the late
fusion in the State of New York will re-
suit 10 their total defeat, the Republicans
OF that State, who, up to this time,
thought they had nothing else to do bat
to walk leisnrely over the track, and
pocket the States, are beginning to sing
different tune-sre coming to the con-
clusion that there has got to be some
work done, and that quickly.
The New York Times, one of the Re
publican organs of the Empire State, re.
minds its readers that they have got a
hard road to travel, and that they have
great reason to be alarmed 10 that State
1t says:
1t is very easy to ridicule this fusion as Of nc
importance, and TO Condemn 1t a. an utter sur
render Of everything like political principle
and consistency. Blu: i, viii have 9 marked

ard VI tnere were to be Q complete aud cordial
union Of all their opponents against them their
chances Of success would be snail.
The New York Evening Post started
an alarm. Mr. Bryant says. eve have
now before us, aud we say this in no
croaking spirit, one OF the most desper-
ate contests that has ever been fought
in this State Mr.. Bryant heads tie
electoral ticket in that State, and no man
is better aware Of the true state of affairs
than himself. The fact that the loss of
New York is death blow to the Re.
publican victory-and likewise the death
of the Republican party, there is no
wonder that this alarm has been raised
by the sentinel on the wall. The loss
of the thirty-fve electoral votes which
New York gives cannot be in any man
ner repaired. Lincoln can get no votes
in the South, and as in the North, inclu-
ding Oregon and California, neither OF
which the Republicans expect to carry,
there are but 1872 votes, and as l52 con-
stltute majority, he must either have
New York or nothing. This shows that
New York will be the prominent battle
field of the campaign. As to the sue
cess Of the Fusion party in New York,
we have but few DOUBTS, and what few
have entertained are growing weaker
and weaker. New Yo,k never has
been Republican State. Fremont did
not get majority of the vote there by
nearly fifty thousand, and in 1857 the
Republicans were routed in the State
campaign-not being able even to OBJ
tain plurality. In 1858 Parker was
defeated by Morgan by about $4,000
votes, yet the people were opposed to
the election Of Morgan by about $4,000
votes.
Speaking of the State of affairs in that
State, the New York Nems, which is
sound authority, says shat the Demo-
cratic party is now stronger in the State
by at least 10000 votes than they were
in 1853. when they cast 100000 for
Judge Parker. This is caused by the
great popularity Of Judge Douglas, and
by the return Of Democrats who were
msed cy the false issues of 1856. Their
votes this fall will swell up to 100000
at the lowest calculation, without the
aid of the Union vote. Owing to the
popularity Of their candidate for Pres-
dent, the divisions, disunions and bitter
feuds in their ranks, and the heavy load
ofthe SINS of the last Legislature, and of
the fruits of the John Brown raid, which
they are compelled to carry, the Repnb-
Iican party cannot expect to carry as ma
ny votes this fall as they did in 1856, by
$4,000. This would give the State to
the Democrats, without the aid of the
conservative Union friends of Mr.. Bell,
bv plurality vote. United with them,
$4,000 strong, as they undoubtedly
are, there can be no longer any doubt as
to abe result Of the confess on the great
battlefield Of the Union. New York
will consign the Northern sectional Alb
clifton Black Republican candidate for
the Presi !ency to the shades of private
life, as assuredIy as the sun of the first
Monday of November shall set over her
Western hills"
Dare not Meet the Issue.
