Tho last session of the National Democratic
state Committee ut the Astor House on Satur-
day, cvinced q disposition to decisive action.

sibility of failure upoa the other side.
The perfect understanding which e1tsted BE-
tween the high contracting parties was admira.

Nationals a. belonging to the class which policy

men accustomed to deal with such persons. As.
Benjamin Wood, with iniuitable cooloess, asked
Mr. Green snd his committee to withdraw the
Drsckinridge electoral ticket, and aeeeptin con-

they had cheated in times and pa4t, and would

that such IN imputat,ou was On indiguity. He
went on with the trade 1st al it the facts of ha-
tired On the Que side aud contempt on the other
were too well understood to require any waste
Of words. The "geuesous confidence which

know-No.hings had no part in these negotia-
tona Ii WA. trial Of skill all the way through.
When Mf. Green pronounced his ultimatum
to be two names on the >tate ticket aud ten
electoral candidates, M.. Wood declared, wish
every appearance Of surprise, that abe could
not think OF such thine"-and there the con-
ference closed. The Dreckinrid9crs had placed
the onus of the miscarriage On their adver-
saries, aud could go to their constituents with
an ayowul tha: they hsd conceded all that IVES
reasonable; while, ut the same time, thar had
honorsbly escaped the Process of being skinned
again By the Bofts.:
But, II God Who aeems at last to haro found
kiadred associates in the Douslas leaders,
aIrciIy wsested this advantage from ,h=ir
grasp. Waiting till the National Committee
hal adjourned and it's chairman got cut cf the
way, be wrote and published a letter accepting
their ul.lnatum. The place huaters and friends
Of the Collector were in trmult Of eagernsss
to get the committee together once more, and
close the engagement, but they did not succeed.
The eHort will now ia nude to o7eraTe Mr.
Green and h:s coadjutoEs By threatening to
unite without their agency, and it intmated
thas the President will b. frightened into a
change OF tactics, and induced 10 conform to
the wishes 0: the fusioaists. The game of Nr,
Richmond aud bis friends is not 70 carry tho
electoral ticket. but to make Hs. Kelly Govern
or; while the Nationals, who advocate union.
do so in the hope of securing cffic IS and patron
ago in this Garner OF the State. Mr. Green.
however, does not iptend to ra.assemble this
committee.
In tue meantime the German Democrats IRE
getting thoroughly disgussed with the whole
busineso. The St9ats Z3iGtng of TO-DAY. edited
By one Of the Douglas etectors, says:
"WEoever shares these views must desire q
fusion Of all the anti Lincoln elements at anr
price whatever; and if the Democratic State
Central Committee recognizes tile right Of the
members Of the Union party On the Electoral
ticket to vote for tzlt ard Everett. it must, Of
necessty, accept the terms of the Breckenridge
men. Otherwise it will iuva1idste its ONLY x
cu.e for fusing with Bell and E1erett. Then,
however, the State Central Committee {Doug-
las) hes no logger Z right to cali itself tae re-
preventative Of the Democracy Of the Sta!e Of
New York. 1t may ask the citizens Of New
York to Euppor: an ant-Liacoln ticket without
taTnest1y c7ns;!er soAeth<r th1 da.gs- to1ou-d
sehicA they ore drifting il not greater than that
tehich it is seBgAt 0Gpoid."
This ls pretty sure iatimatioa that il the
Doug|asises consent 10 unite with the Breckia
ridges, the Germans will feel 1t liberty to vote
d they please. They will regard the act as q
formal abandonment nf the distinct orsani1a-
ton of the Democratic party, and hold them
selves thereafter released from ell ties OF hdel-
ity. In the interior Of the State, it will be se en-
BY the letter Of Mr. Parsons, which We publish
elsewhere, the saue views prevail. Old De1o.
crats tEa themselves without party. The
planks on which th=y have 80 long stood are
Gu. from uader thon By the leaders, and they
are quietly dropped into chaos. The more
spirited snd independent among them refuse to
BE- handled in thus way, and prefer joining an
orRauizai like that Of the Republicans.
Ehich has sou1e vitality aud cohesion.
