plan or treaty could not be agreed upon where
by the divided democracy of this great State

white coated philosopher of the Tribune says

difficulty. The Bell-Evereh managers of
this State, snnbbed and sneered At and bullied
Greeley, from 1856 down to this day, are ready
for any arrangement and any alliance which will
break the back bone of the republican party.
They will jump with joy into coalition ticket
with the Breckenridge and Douglas democracy
The Brooks brothers, Gen. Gustavus Aaolphus
Scroggs and such shining lights among the
Bell-ringers. will go into this business with
something of that holy zeal of the Irish vol
unteers who have entered into the military
service of the Pope. O,ly let the two
factions Of the democracy agree upon a
common electoral ticket for this Common
wealth. and the Bell Everett party will
adopt it-'free gratis. for nothing''-if the de-
mocracy cannot afford to pay anything to these
allies.
So tight, too is the money masket-so scanty
have been the subsidies, the contributions and
pickings among the baggage carriers OF the
democracy thus far, for the purposes of
this campaign that We believe either fac
ton. or both, in this st ate, may be bought
in for the small sum of, say fifty thou
sand dollars The feder al administration has
little OF no money to Civ, 10 either wing of the
party Collector Sehell, Of tbs Custom House,
does not shell ont; the clerks thereof and of
the Post Once are moi called upon to throw
their money away. Ant so, too. with our cor
poraiioa susordinates- They turn on their
heels and give the cold shoulder TO their party
beggars, whether they wear the white rose of
boots Of Douglas or ths patent feathers Of Bfeck-
Inridge. Never beio re were our democratic
whippers-in. drumm ers, e1igrant runners, re-
cruiting sergeants and slpulder-hitters, hards-

Some of them, it is said. impelled by the keen
instincts OF their empty stomachs. are smelling
around the republican headquarters, as If they

In this crisis Of distress, peace becomes an
easy matter between our Douglas and Breckin-
ridge factions. Let August Belmont, NJ. Watts
Sherman, and Others Of the bankers ald cash
contributing arissoeracy Of the democracy, put
their heads and their contributions together to
the extent Of fifty thousand dollars, and the
work Of joint stock democratic electoral
ticket on th,s specie basis will be rs easy

rira.s lry uoDsand dollars will bring the
New York democracy TO terms.
Let the experiment be tried. There is a
broad chasm between squatter sovereignty and
Southern rights in the Territories; but the Al
mighty Dollar will bridge II over and reduce
the Almighty Niger TO submission, when the
decision rests between mere abstraction aud
the substantial arguments of bread and butter
and segars aud whiskey.
