The Syracuse Union Electoral
Alarm in the Republican camp

beIay serious MAJ Lu the LlnCOu cdup'
From the dey, many weeks ago, when the pro-
position was first preached for coalition In
this State among the elements opposed TO the
republican party, down to this day, the Hon.
Massa Greeley has kept up a continuous fire OF
shot and shells, and hand grenades against
Hunt Duer and Brooks on account of their
sale of the Bell-Everett party to the Douglas
squatter sovereignty democracy. Now We I'M
derstand the meaning of these incessant missiles
against "Hunt, Duer and Brooks" The event
which Greeley has been 80 much afraid of has
come to pass-a cordial coalition between the
Bell-Everett party and the Douglas democracy
upon o common electoral ticket-and the pros
poets of Mr.. Lincoln are somewhat suddenly
clouded.
Thurlow Weed is facetious on the subject
He says that "the democracy opened its doors,
and federalists, bank men, silver grays and
Know Nothngs walked in;' that "the Douglas
democracy, after night of protracted
labor and severe pains, has gone through the
perils of parturition;' that the "patient taxed
all the skill Of Doctors Richmond and Hunt,
neither of whom left the bedside for moment
or closed their eyes during the night" and that
the offspring (twius), who will require tender
nursing, were Immediately christened, one
"Squatter Sovereignty" and the other, slave
you seen SAM Master Weed also names this
union ticket "The Hybrid ticket" and "The Sue
cotash ticket" but he will become a little more
serious before many days are ever.
Our more sagacious philosophers of the Tri-
bime are already convinced that this anti-Lin'
coin coalition is joke, but that there is danger
in it to the republican cause. To break the force
of it, they charge that the ten Bell and Everett
men on said electoral ticket are in reality Doug
las men, and intend, if they have the chance, to
cast their votes for Douglas-that, in fact, not a
single Bell and Everett electoral candidate for
this State has yet been appointed. The design
of this is, Of course, to create distrust among
the supporters of Bell and Everett and in the
Breckenridge camp. But it is one of those
weak inventions of the enemy which will only
excite the contempt Of the parties directly con-
cerned.
Our opinion that this late coalition at SYRIA
cuse will open the way to concentration Of all
the Union elements in this State on common
electoral ticket against Lincoln, is in fair way
to a speedy confirmation. We understand that
there is TO be Joint conference at Saratoga
Springs, on Tuesday next, Of the committee Of
the Douglas party, the Bell party and the Breck-
inridge party respectively charged with this
business of joint electoral ticket; that the OBJ
ject of this meeting is to rearrange the Syracuse
ticket, so as to include the Breckenridge party,
and that, upon the basis Of ten electors there is
no doubt Of this party joining the coalition. If
thus adopted, this joint stock electoral ticket
will stand
Douglas cleo Is
Breckenridge electors. 10

But any division of the electors that will be
satisfactory to the several parties concerned
will answer the great purpose in view,
the defeat Of Lincoln by the concentration
upon common electoral ticket against him of
the anti-black republican popular majority Of
the Empire State. In 1856, under the full pres
sure Of the Kansas excitement, and the astound-
ing popularity of Fremont, his vote in this
State fell between forty and fifty thousand be-
hind the united vote Of Buchanan and Fillmore
Now, with this latter vote united against Lin.
coln-an unpopular man in the New York re-
publican camp, for obvious reasons-what Is
there to prevent his defeat, by the triumph of
the union electoral ticket in this State to the
tune of fifty thousand majority!
