M The New York Fusion. as
Nothing has lranspired iu the political
history of the country, within our recol-
lection, that exemplifes more strongly thu
corruption of the political leaders of the
United States and their want Of princi-5
pie, than the proposed New York fusion
between the supporters of Douglas and
the National Conservative Union party.
OF all the elements that have stirred the
POLITICAL sea to exciting strife, none are
more antagonists than those two which
it is proposed to combine. One is en-
Enthusiastically American, the other bitter.
| ly Anti-Am4rican; one. If we are to be-
lieve its professions, sees cause for great
alarm in the encroachments of political
ecclesia sticism as represented by the Ro-
man Catholic Church--the other en-
braces the most intolerant and active sup
porters of political ecclesiasticism. One
urges an increase of the term of proba.
lion required TO secure citizenship-lhe
other would dispense with the term of
probation and make the foreigner a citi-
zen on application.
/ And al! through the category OF issues
that have been presented aad urged by
the Americans, IL ese two elements are
and have been 6ercely opposed to each
other. 1t is now proposed that they for
get all the past, lay aside the principle
they have advocated, and unite in one
common cause for what? To secure the
spoils Of office!
Whatever may be the pretense. that is
the real and only motive. A few ambiti-
GUS politicians propose to trade away and
barter the votes Of thousands Of freemen
as drovers sell the herds of cattle con.
grcgated at the Bulls Head. In one
breath, they sweep away all devotion TO
principle, and declare themselves pur-
chasable politicians, always open to the
market.
We have too much faith in the virtue
Of the people. suppose for a moment that
such movement can be successful, even
in New York. The politicians may bar
ter and trade, buy and sell each ether
but they may as well attempt 10 mix oil
with water, as to bring these Two ele
ments shoulder to shoulder, and engage
hem in ole eaIty. common movement
Not until the lion and the, lamb shall lie
down together, can such ascheme be con-
summatsd.
The proposition. it seems TO us, will
work harm to the cause of both Bell and
Douglas. Intelligent foreigners, who see
prescription in the policy of the Ameri.
can party must doubt tho honesty OF the
Democracy which extends fraternizing
embrace to the Americans. And those
Americans who are sincere in their devo-
tion TO American principles, must revolt
at the proposition. Nothing aswe be-
fore remarked, presents tho duplicity
of the political leaders of he country
SO ghringly as this scheme Of fusion. l

DEATH OF JOSEPH GALEs.-Joseph Gales,
OF the firm of Gales & Seaton, editors and
proprietors Of the National Intelligencer,
died at his residence at Washington City.
on Saturday evening, July 81, 1860.
Mr.. Gales was Of English parentage.-
lie came with his father to America in
early life. The elder Mr. Gales, at one
time published Republican paper in
North Carolina. where Joseph received a
fine education, in University inthe town
Of Raleigh. His eminenec as writer and
editor is known throughout the world
His goodness Of heart. and his high moral
and social qualities. endeared him to the
hearts Of those who best knew him. His
editorials were perhaps read with more
attention and general instruction, than any
man that ever welded the pen on the con-
tinent. Mr.. gales was the leading editor
OF the Intelligencer for more than fifty
years. 1t may be said Of him, what can
be said Of few in his sphere of life, that
he was never guilty Of an act unworthy of
his proud position lie was a prominent
actor on the stage, and conductor of the
Iutelligencer, during the war Of 1879 and
being gentleman of high intellectual and
social qualities himself, he enjoyed the
confidence and support Of the best mer Of
the nation. During bis connection with
the lntelligencer, he acted for sometime as
reporter for Congress-. The most ilustrous
speakers tnat ever graced the halls Of the
capital, were reported by him. For some
six years previous to his death, he did not
write for the paper, On account OF his fail
ing health the labor Of composition, or
dictation. being too much for the tonicity
of his nervous system. His age was rs
years. In his death the press has lost
one OF its most eminent men.
The National Intelligencer is still pub
lished under the firm Of Gales & Seaton.
Mr.. Seatou, though tbs senior editor, is
still in vigorous health.
