We publish elsewhere in to-day's issue list
OF the candidates who have been placed in no
mination by the several political cliques and
factions of this city for the offices to be filled at
the next general election, which will furnish
some idea Of the efforts that are being made BY
the professional trading politicians to obtain
control of every official position that they may
have full sway both at the City Hall and Al
bany, az we'll as at Washington.
The array of names there presented, with few
honorable exceptions, is disgrace to the city,
tickets. A majority of those nominated for
Congress hsye not the remotest idea of the
bearing of the important questions that come
under the charge of members of Congress, and,
should they be elected, they will be merely the
mouthpieces Of the cliques that have placed
them in nomination, instead of guarding our
national prosperity and doing all within their
power to enact such laws as will protect and
develope the varied interests Of our widespread
country. In the nominations for Legislature
several Of those engaged in toe peculatiug ope
rations OF last winter have turned up,
having received the endorsement OF some
one Of the numerous factions, and they are now
in hot pursuit Of the rich placers at Albany.
The republicans OF the Eleventh Assembly dis.
trict have again brought forward Cummings d.
Tucker, who was a member OF the Committee
on Cities and Villages last winter, and one OF
the chief managers in preparing those pluader-
ing schemes for the action of the Legislature,
and who was also found voting with the piIatical
crew in ain ost every instance. The city rail
roads were the measures that he gave his special
support, both in committee and by his votes.
His democratic colsborer on the sane com
mttee has likewise been trotted out ~ Tam.
many in the Twelfth district, as well - three
or four other democratic members who evinced
q warm friendship to Weed and his measures
last winter.
Fortunately for the interests of this city, II is
one thing to get the nomination from few pro-
fessional politicians, and quite another to secure
an election by the people. We trust that our
property holders and taxpayers viii not be en-
ticed into the support of these philosophers by
the cry Of regular party nominations that will
be raised about their ears all sides, but select
from the tickets nominated, irrespective of
party, such men as are qualified for the several
positions and worthy Of their support; and in
those districts where no such can be found,
bring out their independent candidates, and for
once send men TO Washington and Albany
worthy to represent and qualified to speak for
the commercial capital Of the nation If those
philosophers whose votes are recorded in favor
Of those peculating schemes Of last winter are
re elected, let us have no more grumblng about
the rural members plundering the city Of Its
valuable franchises.

Election.
TIE black republican journals are trying 10
'oduce an impression that the Pennsylvania
election cannot result adversely to the pros
poets Of Lincoln; for, they argue, II Curtin Is
defeated 1t will not indicate that Lincoln will
meet the same fate there, while If Foster Is
oyerthrown he Union Presidential ticket in
Penney lvania cannot possibly succeed.
This style Of argument Is preposterous non
stnse, and i is the emanation of doub, and fear
on the part of the black republican leaders
The result of the election ON Tuesday next in
Pennsylvania will foreshsdow the result Of the
Pr sidential contest. If Curtin Is elected by u
majority Of five thousand votes or upwards, Mr..
Lincoln will carry that State In November, and
be the President elect of the United States;
while If Foster should be returned as Governor
Of the State the day after tomorrow, Lin
coin and his followers may chang their
harps upon the Willows" for he will
not be able TO carry Pennsylvania 10
N wen Der, and failing in that he cannot be
elected President We believe that Curtin will
require majority Of Eve thousand now to ena-
bic ire black republicans to carry the State in
November for be is that much more popular
there than Lincoln and bis revolutionary theo-
ries.
The conservative and moderate portion of
the black republican party in this State, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey have been sorely ex-
ercised by the radical and ultra doctrines pro-
Claimed by Seward in his Western tour lately,
and have been doing what they can to prevent
the people from seeing before the election the
unavoidable policy that the fanatical leaders
have fastened upon their party. Thousands
whose interests are indissolubly connected with
the trade and fraternity Of the whole Union
have been startled at the development which
their party ties have taken, under the fostering
hands Of Seward, Sumner, Wilson and Helper,
aud are drawing back from the revolutionary
abyss into which these leaders would plunge
them They are not prepared to declare "war
against slavery wherever it may exist" The
sense of Justice begins to operate with them and
they recognise the right Of the South to the
practice Of self government, whether 1t be in
matters of moral, social, political or material
good government; for, as the Spanish proverb
expresses it, "A fool can manage his own house
hold better than can g wise man that of a
stranger"
In giving vent to bis abolition sentiments and
ultra revolutionary proclivities during his re-
cent tour in the West, Mr.. Seward has been per
forming the part that Is popularity attributed
to pig thrown into q river. Instinct tells
him to swim; but no pig will swim
against the current He goes with the tide,
down stream, and In his efforts throws his fore
feet so high that each stroke cuts new
cash 10 his own throat Thus be never reaches
the shore, and hastens his end BY the violence
OF his own efforts So It has been with Mr..
Stewards recent efforts In the West They have
cut his party TO pieces in this part Of the coun-
try, as will be seen In the Pennsylvania election
on Tuesday, and In this State In November.

genius of our Institutions. When we annex Il
IL adjacent territory, and the inhabitants, being
white men. are admitted into our political
union on terms of perfect equality. We annex
no distant territory. There is no land 50 far
from Great Britain that she does not seek to
make 1t her own by force. or fraud, while she re-
duces the people to slavery. Her career
In India is an evidence Of this. 1t is more tia
two hundred and fifty years since she gained
a footing in that country, and what the condi
ton Of the natives ia at this day, and
how little she has been successful In Sc
curing their loyalty or improving their civili-
cation, the late war in India fully revealed
From the time of Hastings and Give her rule
has been one Of CALLING oppression, without an
example in the history Of modern times. This
Is the great difficulty that lies at the bottom of
all her intercourse with China and Japan. The
Chinese and japanese governments fear that
the English will serve them in the end ~ they
have served the natives of India.
The American system is entirely different
In few short years we have gained by peace
full diplomacy what neither England nor
France could accomplish for centuries We
have not only established friendly relations
with China and japan, but gained their conf
dence. They know from our history and
our system of government that we do not want
conquest, but commerce; and we have satisfied
them that the benefits Of our Intercourse with
them are mutual, and that we give as much as we
receive. To our friendly Offices are due British
participation in the benefits of the CONNER
cial intercourse which we secured for ourselves
in japan. 1t is no part of the American system
to monopolize commerce or trade or anything
else Judging from our success, the American
system is evidently the best, and had the Euro
pesn Powers long since adopted 1t in the East,
their civilization would have obtained far
greater hold than it has yet gained in Asia
The American plan is the offspring of higher
system Of government, which appeals more to
the intelligence of mankind than to the force OF
the beast of prey, or Of the human savage Of
the wilderness. Hence our rapid progress in
commerce, our peace with all the world, and
our marvellous and unprecedented growth in
an the elements Of great nation.
