the Presidential eontest "tae repub02sn is the
most thoroughly senseiess, baseless. aiules',
Inconsistent and insincere. Il has nc corstit-.
tio1al principles to stand upon. and it lives xp
TO 40 moral ones" II charges, moreover, that
its Only object Il to clutch the spells Of Office,
that it Is composed Of two wings, one favorable
10 liberty and the other to slavery; aud that
in order to keep these two wings together long
enough to obtain the spoiIs tae leaders cry to
one wing Put Us in power and we will dc every
thing We consttutionally can for liberty: and to
tie other, put us In power; you can dc 1t with
perfect safety to slavery for constitution Ally we
can do nothing against it where It's" Such il
the opinion Of the anti-slavery extremists with
regard to the republican party. The republi-
cans they say, pretend to treat the constitution
as an anti slavery document. but attempt to
perve-t ii into warrant for the continuation
Of slavery where it exists; while the radical
aholitionits denounce ii IS prosiavery in
strunent and pronounce II an evil and curse
not to be respected or endured.
OF NJ. Seward Individually the aboiitionista
speak il no measured terms Of abuse, stigma
Using hin "a "a shameless MAJ" calling hin.
weak and wicked" ard charging him with
deliberate heartlessners towards the negro,
sc nonstrous as to be disgusting In corclu-
sior, they declare that the great object to be
attained OF the coming election is, "to procure
the defeat of the republican."-s sentiment n
which We entirely agree with them
THE TARASY DEsocRACT.-The aachems Of
Tammarv, in the matter Of their city and
county nominations, have placed their exclu-
sive candidates for Supreme Judge, Recorder,
City Judge, Surrogate, Register and Super
visor before the people. Their ticket, how
ever, limited to the corrupt eabal Of the Old
Wigwan, will of course be defeated. TIE
prestige CT defeat has followed these derc rgl-
lied party sachems Tor several years Netting
but bad luck has been their portion since they
commenced their dirty squabbles over the
spells and plurder of Mr.. Buchanan's adlii-
nistraion. They have Disguised him, sickened
the community, and ruined the business of their
policy shop with their laundering and unblush-
Jog rascaliles. Witness the living evidences
of the impotency Of old Tammany in orr pre-
sent Mayor and Comptroller, and other officials,
elected in defiance Of her regular romine-
TOES.
IL the present emergency there was &C hope
for the deluded sacher.s except in gene
rous arrangement of union with the other
fragments Of the broken up democracy;
but the first overtrres to this end were 60 In
dignantly rejected as to cut of any other. The
silly sachems should have learned something
from the lesson lately taught them ~ the Al
bany Regency; but the silly sachems are like
the silly old French Bourbons: they learn
nothing and they forget nothing. They will
rule as tie legitimate masters Of this city, by
the divine rights OF the Coal Hole, or they will
consent to be crushed out Aod thus, since
1857, thev have been undergoing tie crushing
out process, aud this election will finish them,
unless we are very much mistaken.
Every honest man in this community must
share In our hope that the incoming of the New
Year will be signalized with the absolute extir-
guisbment Of that shameless, debauched, derc-
RAILING ana utterly eorrrPs and uisgracef1l close
corporation of political Peter Funks, old Tam
many Hall. 1t Is time that the history OF this
institution, which is but record Of rowdyifm.
spoliations, debaucheries, violence and blood.
were brought to close. This Offensive Old
Wigwam is mockery of the freedom Of tae
elective franchise, and standing reproach
against this intelligent community, which ought
not to be any longer tolerated. The people Of
this city have done much for the abatement Of
this public nuisance, and we hope and believe
that this tine they will effectualy dispose Of It.
