We will not comment on the defiant
violation of principle which this contri
vance of the anarchist, who broke up the
Charleston and Baltimore Conventions ex-
hibits. The question is, can it accomplish
the purpose contemplated in its formation?
and on this we propose to submit some
cvidence which will facilitate solution.
Last year, Immediately after the .Har-
per's Ferry affair, when all the foolish
alarmists and old women in the country
suspected the Republican party of treason
able and revolutionary designs, the COM
bined vote of the united Democracy, and
the American party was only thousand
or thereabouts more than the straight out
Republican vote. 1t is perhaps more cor
rect to say that they were equal. The ell
ection was. for certain State officers, and
the American party made up ticket by
selecting from the regular Democratic and
Republican tickets, and this was elected by
lmajosities varying from three or four hun
dred, to fourteen or fifteen hundred. The
Democratic candidate for Secretary of
State. William Floyd Jones, who was
also on the American ticket beat his Re-
publican opponent, Leavenworth, I45O
votes. This, shows how nearly balanced
the parties were--the Republicans in enc
scale and the Democrats and Americans
in the other. Bot the whole vote of the
State was but SOB. 7SS. whereas it was
596. 1856 ina1S56: and this reserved vote of
92. 1853 is mainly Republicans. for it was
given to Fremont. But let us leave this
element out Of the question, and also the
increased vote-the product Of four years
--and accept last years returns as the ba-
sis. Whether the equilibrium has been
disturbed, on which side the preponder-
ance now lies, is, the point to be ascertain
ell. In the first place. a large body Of the
Americans had joined the Republican party
before. the Syracuse Convention met
The following from the New York World
| is conclusive on this head.
'It will be recollected that In this State
election last fall the Americans made
up an eclectic ticket from the other par
ties. The vote showed that the American
strength in the State was then as readily
voted for Repablicans as for Democrats.
| Since then some of the m ,st important
American presses and leaders have desert
ed to Lincoln. Mr.. Putnam. one of the
most popular and eloquent men in the
party; Mr.. Babcock, Mr.. Vsrnum, as well
as Mr.. Ullman and Gen. Scroggs, who
were once the candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor; and Mr.. Jewett, the
proprietor of the Buffalo Commercial Id
uertissr, who was the chief manager of the
Fillmore campaign in 1856. are now sup
porting the Republican party which had
free soil longings." Il
In the second place, the Breckinridge
electoral ticket will receive some twenty or
thirty thousand votes at least. We take
IL for granted that such men as Dickinson,
lO'Connor. Schell. snd Dix will not join
| the coalition, and the following from yes
