From the above it viii be seen that the
Breckites desire no arrangement. and that
ihus interposes unnecessary difficulties.
In connection with the above. We invite

TIE large and enthusiastic meeting held at
the Cooper Institute in New York LAST Mon
day evening, which the Tribune acknowl-
edges was one OF the greatest demonstrations
o: the campaign, had for its object the con-
centration of the anti-Lincoln strength of
the State upon one electoral ticket. This
result was the manifest desire OF the whole
meeting, but the practical difficulty in Carry
ing out this purpose, lie yet to 5e encoanter-
I'd. The President of the meeting, Joshua J.
Henry. Esq, is a Breckenridge Democrat, and
10 him was assigned the duty of appointing
committee to whom will be entrusted the re-
sponsibility OF selecting an electoral ticket
to represent all the integral points OF oppo-
sition to Republicanism aud give them
strength and unity. The Journal of Com
merce, the most respectable of the Breckin-
ridge organs OF the Empire State while anx
ious for some such concentrations, has but lit
tIe expectation that the Cooper Institute
meeting will effect that object. claims
that the committee to be selected. nneu en-
toripg upon the duty assigned them, will be
very ant TO find that instead of uHiliaq all
the anti-Lincoln strength of the State upon
one ticket, they will be adding one to the
number of anti-Lincoln tickets already in
the fold, and that this must necessarily be
the case. as far as they shall add new name
to those already in nomination. Or BTeck
inridge contemporary says:

two anti-L lincoln tickets already nominated
and so mt add any new names 10 the lis

So likewise those Breckenridge voters whose
sympathies are with their State Committee,
will vote for their own nominees. We con-
slider it entirely hopeless that the great Dody
of the voters of either party VIII leave ihelr
own ticket to vote for the Cooper Institute
ticket, unless the latter shall recece the atbttc and
formal endorsement Of both the d1ltl-L1c0tn ottte
Committees. Is such an endorsement to be

We refer to this subject to show that the

ing done their worst to imperil the cause OF
the Union by distracting the Democratic par
ty to advance the pretensions of Southern
Secessionists. they now put clogs to the
wheels of the great movement for national
pacif1cation unless the Yanceys aud Boyces
and Rhetts are assigned prominent positions
their presses and through their Chief. Major
Breckenridge, in his Ashland speech, derided
the Bell and Everett movement as weak,
vain, and illusory. they now. although they
see their own peril and the peril of the
ton, stand to make selfish terms and wish to
dictate To the large majority of anti-LineOln
strength. We regard this conduct as inexcu-
sable. The time prophesied by Henry Clay
mas arrived: there are but two paTtIes-one
tor the Cnicn and the other against the Un-
ion. Those who are for the Union took the
Initiative to proclaim their allegiance TO tn
Union, the Constitution. and the Enforce
.nent of the Laws, and were siigmatiZed as
''Old gentlemen fogies' by those who were
@rangling and believing over regular or
CARNATIONS, and making shadOwy mountains
OF principles out Of the mole-hils OF abstrac
tons. We want all the assistance We can
obtain for the Union cause. but those who
come with mercenary and time: CRYING views

battling for the Union proves mighty cap
tain. and let those who doubt IL look back
over the field and contemplate the panora-
INA unfolded By the four months which hive
succeeded the Baltimore nominations of Bell
and Everett. With nothing but the banner
OF living light aud its proudly emhlazoned
motto, the contest was commenced almost
hopelessly, but soon from every hill the bea-
con fires were enkindled; Union meetings
were held, volunteers began to rally around
the standard, and now there is hardly State
in the confederacy where the Union party
does not hold the balance of power, and
where, il aided by National Democrats, il
could not defeat the Republican candidates.
We have no patience with the Secessionists.
who are imperiiling triumph which is so
nearly within our grasp. Mercenary, selfish,
and intolerant, they prefer the Democratic
party TO the success of those conservative
statesmen who would, If elected. maintain
the country's honor and integrity. restore its
harmony, and drive forth the monster spirit
of partisan bigotry. If Lincoln should be
elected, the Breckinridge men must be held
responsible for the result. Cancellation and
compromise have been rendered to them by
the friends of Bell and Douglas, but they
have been jiected. Rule or RUM is their
motto, let the people fully understand this
and then await the Tetribution which they
will heap upon the heads Of the politicians
