"And what its signs of promise are"
Until now, horrible to view has
been the signs through our politi-
cal horoscope. But day is break
ing in the East, the dawn is march
ing upon the West, and sun light is
creeping over valley and hilltop
from the lakes to the Gulf and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
A great change, imperceptible to
many, has been going on, uniting
for one purpose the great body Of
the Democratic party with the old
Line Wing or American party,
thus substituting conservative I'm
ion men for corrupt, and time serv-
ing disunionists who are q curse to
our party and a disgrace to the
country. The Union in the heart
of these two great conservative par
ties is already effected and the two
organizations have been harmoni-
ously consolidated in many of the
States. The work is still going
bravely on, and before November,
we shall see in the North and in
the South, united Union party
marching shoulder to shoulder,
steadily, but surely, on to victory.
To overcome the sectionalism of
the Yancey's South and the Lin
coins North, and to free the coun-
try of the rotten remnants of this
Administration, is the patriotic
work of this new coalition. BY
the Union movementsin New York
and Kentucky alone, all these OBJ
jects are attained. The defeat of
Lincoln in the Empire State which
is rendered certain by the consoli-
dation of the Douglas-Bell Elector-
al tickets, lays out Northern Sec
tionalism. Without New York all
concede that Lincoln cannot be
elected, and ifdefeated now under all
the present combination of favora-
BILE circumstances, Black Republi-
canism will never rear its head
again as a political Presidential or
ganization.
But will Lincoln be defeated in
New York? - .. .r.
"On that hangs all the Law and
the Prophets" AS sure as there is
selfishncss in man he will be. First
it is for the interest of the Douglas
men, to carry New York against
lincoln, else he may be elected by
the people, and then they are all
laid out. I'd, it is for the Interests
