ton with the defeat OF Lincoln in November
New York, as in ls4t and 1913 Is the battle
ground, although we have strong hopes that
Pennsylvania will anticipate the EGpire state
in decisive blow to the republican army in
her Pennsy lvania Octobe election, and thus
turn the tide Of victory. as 10 1856.
Meantime our attention has been called to
the distracted. demoralized and divided con-
dition Of the anti republican elements Of the
Eew England States. Last spring, by SEN
sibe coalition these conservative elements car
RED Rhode Island sgainst the republicans in a
fair aud square contest, by q very handsome
majority, and came within few hundred votes
OF revolutionizing Connecticut. From these
authentic manifestations OF a healthy Northern
popular reaction, the conservative masses Of the
people throughout the country were encouraged
TO hope for a brilliant triumph over this Northern
Loly anti slavery alliance ir November. These
hopes, however, were soon paraiyzed by the
reckless desperation Of the rival Presidential
iugglers and gamblers Of the democracy at
Charleston and Baltimore, and from that day
to this the election, by default, has been TO q
great extent, on all sides considered foregone
conclusion.
Acting under this impression our rival de-
mocratic cliques and leaders managers, place
men, Office seekers and organs, all over the
country have been following up the miserable
game OF their self appointed masters at Charles
ton and Baltimore, in tearing each other to
pieces. At length, here in New York, finding
it impossible to endure any longer the senseless
juggleries of Richmond, Cagger, John A.
Green. Gideon j. Tucker and such like party
managers, We find or ica.pendent Union men,
or volunteers in tn.s city, coming to the rescue,
and organizing in few days the very Union
movement demanded by the crisis. Practically
corresponding movement is under good
Roadway in PennsJ lvsnia, and the same spirit
OF everything for the cause, and nothing for
meu who stand in the way, bids fair to restore
to her proper position the conservative State
OF New jersey.
But why are there no signs of similar Onion
in any Of the New England States?
Simply because the people Of those States OF
all parties, have become too much accustomed
to leave their political duties 70 the control Of
their old party hacks, leaders and organs, and
because these old party managers Of the demo-
eracy in the New England States, looking to
the monopoly Of the federal spoils, have found
IL their policy to keep their party conveniently
small, depending upon the South and upon the
great Central and Western States to pull their
chestnuts out Of the fire.
BY way Of example, let us take those model
twaddling democratic organs, the Boston Post,
the Providence Post, the Hartford Tines and
the New Haven Register. These organs, like
the miserable party journals that live upon the
drippings Of tie Treasury at Washington, have
no vocation except that Of feeders At the public
crib. All these aforesaid papers affect to be
devoted 10 the cause Of the democratic party.
They have not yet learned that the democratic
party and it, principles were broken into pieces
at Baltimore, and that toe union Of all the frag-
men,s with all the other conservative forces Of
the North Is demanded TO defeat this proud aud
domineering alliance Of Northern abolition cru
saders.
The Boston Post Is G perfect specimen Of
the antiquatsd horseleech. A a newspaper
1t il Of no sort Of value; for in its distinguish
ing feature Of stale jokes and silly conundrums
1t is surpassed by our caricature pictorials,
and they. in oil conscience, are poor enough.
But still, as the Boston organ Of the democracy,
this Boston specimen Of an old iossiiized
newspaper Of the Ssurian epoch. the Post, for
time ont Of mind, has been kept alive by the
federal spoils claimed as its share, with every
election Of democratic President, when oil
i,s labors have been devoted to the single OBJ
ject Of keeping the party in Massachusetts,
conveniently small" On q smaller scale,
touching the spoils, the Hartford Times, the
Providence Post, and the New Haven Register,
have been and are worthy colaborers Of this
Boston retailer OF old jokes, conundrums and
boarding school poetry. they all belong, in
dull. stupid way, to the same selfish, mean
and inscriptions school Of party spoilsmen as
the Albany Regency.
Under the lead Of such sordid and contracted
organs and engineers, the New England demo
cracy have been trampled under foot since the
downfall Of poor Pierce. and their disasters are
largely due to the importance which he attached
TO such worthless party leeches as the Boston
Post. II the remains Of the democratic party
Of the New England States would recover
commanding position they must combine with
all the other conservative elements around
them, regardless Of their party organs and
party principles, and platforms aud claptrap;
for oil such stuff and nonsense amounts to
nothing. The sound conservative public opinion
Of this city has brought the quibbling intriguers
Of the Albany Regency to terms Of reason, and
New York State will Jet be redeemed. Let
the Independent Union men Of all parties in
NeH ENGLAND irniiata our example for the day
