rich one.
THE FUSION IN NEW YORK.
The following telegram was published in the New
York papers of yesterday:
ALBANY, Sept. 10, 1860.-The rumor of a pro-
posed union by giving the Breckenridge men ten
electors and two State officers, circulated this
morning, caused great lutter amongst politicians
large majority of the Douglas State Committee
is understood to be entirely opposed to any such
arrangements. Mr.. Richmond, Chairman of the
Committee, is in town to-day, and goes down to
New York tonight, but he is understood to refuse
peremptorily to call the committee together to
consider any such proposition. Several telegraph
| messages have been received here from the W est
discouraging any such arrangement as injurious to
| the ticket.
Dean Richmond, Chairman, and Peter Cagger,
Secretary of the Democratic Central Committee,
issue call for meeting of the Committee at the
| St. Nicholas Hotel in New York, for Friday next,
| Sept. IA, at 10 o'clock. noon.
1t Is well understood here that by large maio
lty the proposition, said to have been made by the
| Breckinridge committee and agreed to by Benz.
| Wood, has been rejected. The majority of the
any authority to agree to any arrangement, but
were simply to consider and discuss propositions
and report them to the State Committee.
On this the Herald comments as follows:
| Our Albany correspondent telegraphs that news
| of the proposed fusion has thrown Cagger & Co.
into dismay, and that Richmond has started hot
foot for this city, to endeavor to break it up. But
it Is too late. The ball has been started, and the
people will accept the fusion without the politci-
| ans. Should Richmond refuse to ratfy the arrange
ment his subordinates have blundered into, then all
that will be wanting ia that the great Union meet
ing which is soon to come off in this city shall pre-
| sent Union ticket of ten Breckinridge, ten Bell
| and fifteen Douglas electors, and appoint Vigil
| ance Committee to see that the corrupt political
managers do not sell themselves to Lincoln and at
| tempt to burke it. BY so doing New York can be
| carried against Lincoln without doubt
The Times, the other hand, says that it i:
settled that there can be fusion of the Breckin
ridge and Douglas factions. At meeting of the
Douglas Campaign Club held on Monday evening
the following among other resolutions in reference
to the matter was adopted:
Resolued, That while earnestly desire the cordia
and permanent union of the Democratic party, are
admonished well by by dearly purchased
perience that union be either successful oer
able but such is founded in principles
those Of conflicting sentiments by whatever may
be dgnifed, is but coalition hostile to harmonious
tion demorazing in all its tendencies destructive of the
interests of the Democratic party and inevitably tending
to defeat, disruption and disgrace.
RESOLVED That of the foregoing resolutions duly
atested by the officers of the Campaign Club be forward
ed to Dean Richmond Esq, Chairman of the State Cen
tra Committee, as the expression of the Douglas Cam
| paign Club Of the city of New York.
Mr.. Thomas W. Field made a speech in support
of the resolutions, in which he said that the cam
paign had just began to open, that the Douglas
party of the State did not need the aid of the
Breckenridge party to defeat their opponents, and
| that if they did there could be no such thing as
union with disunionists. His remarks were enthus
cally applauded.
| SYRACUSE, Sept 1.-THE chairman of the Breck.
inridge State Convention has written letter ac-
cepting the proposition of the Douglas Committee
to give them ten electors and two names their
State ticket and he announces that he will call the
Breckenridge Committee together, to ratify the
| proposed fusion.
