The rejection by the Albany Regency clique
of the fusion basis arranged and accepted by
their own appointed subcommittee, demon
s'rates, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that
Richmond, Cagger 4 Co. are determined to
maintain confusion among the national ccnser-
vative interests Of this State, in order that its
electoral vote may be thrown for Lincoln by
the black republican minority Of the popular
vote
There are facts and Condolences In recent
events, while the negotiations for fusion we're
pending, that should not pass unperceived by
the public eye, and which should DO rsmem-
bered. 1t has been evident from the first mo
ment Of the split at Baltimore, that II the con
seryative interests here could be honestly
united in support of one electoral ticket,
the vote Of New York could be
taken away from the black republicans
by majority running from forty
thousand to one hundred thousand In
the popular vote. With this conviction in
the public mind, Mr.. Seward has been conf.
Minnesota, that New York will 60 for Lincoln
by a plurality OF eighty thousand, the Albany
clique meanwhile, vibrating between Albany
and New York, protesting to be endeavoring to
effect fusion of the conservative elements
against the black republicans. But II Is a
singular coincidence that whenever Dean Rich
mond came to New York to talk about fusion,
Thurlow Weed had business which called him
70 the city also. and during the recent con.
ferences Of the Richmond clique at the ST. Mich
olas, be has been one Of the most confident and
satisfied politicians in town. Now that the de-
signs Of these trading politicians have become
manifest, the repeated declaration of Mr.. Doug
las that 1.-The next President must come from
Illinois attains new and important signI-
fcance.
BY the course they have pursued the Albany
Regency clique have made it manifest that they
can never again obtain admission to national
convention, and this conviction may lie at the
root Of their plans to secure as much plumber
as possible through connivance with their new
allies. They have seen and tasted the fortunes
made by railroad combinations in this State.
and the power they have conferred and now
they long for similar spoils from the federal
administration through fusion Of all the great
Northern railroad interests. To obtain this
confusion Of the conservative political elements
was necessary, and for this they have labored
They still profess willingness to avoid such
disaster, and they have secured from the Doug
las State Committee the vesting of sub-com
mittee-of which Dean Richmond and Peter
Cagger constitute the working majority with
full power to make and unmake State electo
raj ticket as circumstances may render
polite. By this act the certainty of cast
ing the electoral vote OF the Empire
State for Lincoln and Hamlin is secured
This defeat Of the wishes Of the great conser-
vative elements in New York throws the fate Of
the present struggle into the States Of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey, where It Is 10 be hoped
q more honest and national set Of political
managers will enable the conservatives TO til
umph. The final result In those States will
depend on that Of the Pennsylvania State
eleCtlOu Oh the ulutu OI next m0ntn. III
Foster Is elected there as Governor the
combinations Of the spoismen and fa
natics will be defeated. To prevent such
result, and to divert the aid of the New
York merchants from that contest, will now be
the aim Of the Albany Regency. For this pur-
pose they will delay, and negotiate, and per-
haps endeavor TO throw Gnal action over until
after the Union meeting tomorrow night II
therefore becomes the more incumbent on the
conservative interests that will be represented
there, to appoint q vigilance committee to
watch the course Of these trading politicians
whose only aim Is their own profit, without
regard to the great national interests at
stake-and through which all the money coutri-
buted to defeat Lincoln should be disbursed. In
order TO prevent iH being diverted TO the pur.
poses Of the enemy and the profit Of q few trca-
cherous leaders. An honest and shrewd yigi-
lance committee, appointed BY the conservative
Union meeting tomorrow night, with power to
direct the use Of the money to wherever the
true fight may lie, may yet save us from the de-
structive political agitation and chaos with
which the country Is threatened.
