exceedingly ludicrcus. They managed the
ball from purely business point OF view, and
found partner for the Prince exactly as they
would have sold him an invoice of dry goods,
a barrel Of pork, bale Of 1tton, bnshel OF
corn, half dozen penknives, or quintal OF
coddsh The grand moth, dollars aud cents
was written on their foreheads and branded
upon their coat tails. The atmosphere was re-
dolent of the odor Of Wall street; the very
tickets looked like bank notes. and the bill OF
exchange should have appeared among the
decorations. The ball was an apotheosis Of
trade, and was therefore terribly slow.
Let 1t be understood that we have nothing
but sentiments Of the most profound respect Tor
the venerable persons above referred
to when they are in their proper
places. But we must be permitted TO say thai,
when men or women rise City years of age.
the floor of a ballroom is not precisely the
place where they appear to the best advan-
tage as managers and controllers. There were
at the Princes ball three thousand and twenty
Eve persons, and Of these not more than
couple Of hundred were young dancing people.
Had 1t not been for the Prince and the young
men of his suite, the bali would have been
an anomaly-that Is, ball at which nobody
danced As 1t wa, they barely saved it. The
courteous, gentlemanly, highbred manners OF
the royal party afforded the strongest and most
agreeable contrast TO the fuseiness OF the old
fellows about them. 1t would appear that
nearly all the tickets were monopolized by
clique Of old fogies, who distributed them
among fosAls of their own order and the con-
| quer &c was that the Princes party must have

The Eject OF Union Tickets Upon the Next
Congress ami Upon the RsPabIican
Cause.
II the union Of the conservative elements on
one Presidential ticket In this State should not
be successful In defeating Lincoln, the union of
that interest in the several Congressional dis
trics may at least have the effect of contri
buting to secure majority in the next House
Of Representatives as there Is now In the
Senate; and that is grand point to be gained
when it is considered that Lincoln, II elected,
cannot carry out the republican programme
without Congress at his back to snstain him.
BY uniting the conservative elements In the
different Congressional districts Of this city and
State upon a single ticket In each, the result
would be 9 defeat of the republican candidates
for the House of Representatives, and the cleo
ton Of opposition members. But what do We
find! The conservative interest divided upon
two or three tickets In every district while the
republicans are united In q compact solid
column. This Ii insanity, and can only result
In certain defeat and disaster. Some Of the
candidates are taken from the grogshops and
are the very worst specimens Of our citizens
Now, this ought not to be.
Among the sspirants TO seats in the House Of
Representatives, we have as yet seen only the
names Of two candidates who occupy the right
position. These men are Benjamin Wood, OF the
Third district, and John Cochrape, OF the Sixth. |
These gentlemen have combined on q single !
ticket the whole conservative elements Of their
respective districts, and We trust that no other |
ticket opposed to black republicanism will be |
started In either district We have every con |
Hdence that these candidates Will be successful,
and we hope that . similar course will be
adopted in every district throughout the city
and State. When bad men combine good men
ought TO unite. BY union alone the conserva.
tive interest can stand; by division I, must fall
A house divided against itself cannot stand. |
Division In the ranks OF the conservative |
element Is Ike the madness which now |
threatens TO destroy the cause Of pa
triotism in Italy, by bringing the
patriot King Victor Emanuel, and the patriot |
chief Garibadi, and their adherents, into COLI.
sion, and thus rkking the loss OF all ,ha, has
been gained by the revolution, and giving an
opportunity to Austria to extend once more
her iron rule over lost province and to check |
the growth OF liberal ideas throughout the |
whole peninsula
Every friend Of conservatism, every man
hostile to the anti-slavery programme Of black
ought therefore, TO be fully i'm
pressed himself with the necessity OF union, and |
impress II upon The minds of all who cherish /
the same sentiments, whether they call them
selves Breckenridge men, or Bell men, or Doug
las men. In no instance let two conservative
tickets be run In the same district; and IL there
Is no other way Of deciding between the elsus
