THE UNION SENTIMENT IN NEW YORK.

The Journal Of Commerce Of Monday says that "the
wish Is expressed in all quarters II except only few
political leaders that the Unon sentiment OF the State
of New York may be combined as to be effective in
the defeat of the Lincoln ticket The late Convention
Syracuse did good work. far as II went In COM
bnng with the Bell and Everett men, and putting on the
Electoral ticket OF the abest and most distinguish
ed Of the members of the Old Wing party. Let that
work now be accomplished by fu1 and frank conf
dence between the State committees as to con-
soidate the nominations for Electors and State officers
upon a single ticket Such is practicable and
ought TO be adopted"
The Atlas and Argus Of Saturday. in article on the
same subject, speaks as follows:
"The tone of the Convention in relation to co-opera
ton TO prevent Republican triumph was admirable 1t
invites common support Of the Electoral ticket presented
by the Conventions as the surost mode Of Withholding
from Lincoln the 35 votes Of New York. With view
to any further measures which may be deemed necessa
~ to secure the concentration Of the conservative sen
ment Of the State aud for the purpose Of such coope
ration the State committee has power 10 fill any vacan
oies which may in any on either State
Electoral ticket and take such measures as they shall
deem proper necessary TO give united expression and
effect to the national conservative sentiment OF this State
We have therefore, not only the direct and emphatic
expression aud action Of the Convention itself in favor
Of patriotic cooperation against Lincoln, but also ample
powers conferred upon the State committee TO take any
further action which may become necessary for that end
To the spirit Of this Conyenton the Democracy-yea all
conservative menof the State will cheerfuly and joy
ousy respond. 1t only requires generous cooperation
on the part Of all national to such victory
over sectionaism as willcrush it out forever"

Tho Work to be Done.

Constitution, that they have great work to do in
binng their energies concentrating their forces and in
other respects securing such unity Of action viii

PARTIES in the country is once for all mpOssibility
The good work. for that natter Is already going go
rously in all parts of the country. The prospects of
the Union party are every day looming up with grander
and more magnificent proportions. The fact is now ap-
parent that the eontes. win be practically narrowed
down to Bell and Everett the side, and Lincoln
and Hamln on the Other. The issue is simply between
nationality aud sectonaism between the friends Of the
Union and the Constitution and their enemies 10 such
contest there i no alternative for conservative men
anywhere To vote for either Breckenridge or Douglas
will be simply throwiug away suffrage for the benefit Of
the Republican party In the North, the Republicans
are making all n, thunder for Breckinridge to keep
him in the Geld for their benefit and to divide the
servAtlve and keep it away from Bell and Everett
Impressed with these facts the people are moving in
masses to rally under the UuiOn party banner Recruits
are daily coming in from all quarters not by hundreds
and thousands but by tens Of thousands While these
facts should inspire friends with confidence and hope
Of success they must at the time be permitted
