The state of New YOrk--The
Alarm Spreading I'm the Repub-
IiCam Camp.

Last week the rejoicings of the Republicans
over the divisions of the Democracy, and in
view Of the certain success of the great Illinois
rail splitter, were strangely disturbed by Il dis
NAL groan or two from the venerable Thurlow
Weed over the dangerous confidence and leth-
argy in his party camp. Now we perceive
that the alarm sounded by the famous Albany
compiler of Statistics on free wool has been
taken up by the Hon. Massa Greeley, who APP
pears to be as much perplexed with the vote
OF New York in November next as ever he
was with that troublesome thousand dollars
Des Moines improvement lobby draft from Or
sinus Benajah Matteson.
Thus the uneasy philosopher ofthe Tribune
admonishes his party that this great State is
not to be carried without a struggle-that the
elements of a formidable hostile combination
exist-that skilful managers are hard at work
to bring these elements together, and that there
is reason to anticipate before November the
formation "ofa hybrid, tesselated, three-legged
anti-republican ticket, on which all the
strength of the hostile faction will be concen-
trated." Accordingly our alarmed philoso-
pher, with the earnestness of II good night
Waterman, strikes the pavement with his bat
on to wake up his sleeping colleague to meet
the formidable hybrid conspiracy by which
they are surrounded. He Justify cries out
that this state of blind security, Of Needless
trust III iucK, be not allowed to continue an
other week Admit that II could not hazard
the electoral vote, ITS inevitable effect must be
TO saddle the next Administration Told Abe's)
win a Congress hostile to its principles, Jeal-
Gus OF lts popularity, and determined TO GRIP
pie and battle its every effort
what neXtf An early State Convention is
demanded, a powerful republican electoral
ucket and an earnest proclamation that the
republican party is sternly opposed to the job
berry and bribery which have disgraced the
recent legislative history of our State. Here
we have a republican weakness-an ankle
bone out OF joint, If you please-or a sore
spot in the ribs of Thurlow Weed, which
brings him face to face with the incorruptible
Greedy Here honest men of all parties have
a common ground of action against Weeds
republican lobby, in a matter which loudly
calls upon the people for reform. Taking up
the thing with the whole schedule o~fdrawbacks
against the republican cause in the Empire
State, we do not wonder that the calculating
Greedy, as well as the statistical Weed, should
be somewhat frightened.
First, upon an impartial estimate of the
whole popular vote of this State, made up
from the returns of all our State elections
since 1856, with the Presidential vote of that
year rs the basis of our calculations, we find
the Republican party, so late as last Novem-
Der, in a popular minority of some 10000.
Since that election we contend that the party
bas been losing instead Of gaining ground
The nomination of Douglas for the Presidency
has, at a single dash, carried away the anti
Lecompton Democratic element from the Re-
publican camp, which is the loss of that bal
