TICKET
| It affords us great pleasure to announce to-day
that the Committee of Fifteen appointed by the
great Union meeting, at the Coopers Institute,
have discharged the important duty devolting upon
them in such manner as to realize the expecta-
tions of the Public, and to entitle them to the
heartiest thanks of their fellow men. The Boil and
Douglass Electoral ticket after careful and delibe-
rate consultation, has been re-constructedj 80 rs 70
give full and fair expression possible, to the
wishes of the friends OF Mr. Breckinrdge, We
have every reason to believe that the action Of the
Fifteen in that as in other respects will receive the
cordial approval of every true Union man. that may
have been standing aloof hitherto ttnder that or
ganization. There is another consideration. The
ticket as now presented independently Of the Ma
tional sentiment. which is its ground work, has this
advantage over others it is, in good degree the
work of the people themselves without ntermedi-
ate manipulation Of, or interference from the poll
ticians. Hence, it is not mtchanic-made ticket
but the direct offspring Of the peoples viii, that
declared ITSELF in mass convention at the Cooper
Institute, on the 18th of Observation-Disclosures

of all parties, indeed, Sectional Republicans
joining in the declaration. Now, If ever the Voice
of the People could be the Voice of God--it seems
to us It was the voice which found utcrance there
and the voice which now, in obedience to that
utterance, recommends to 'all the citizens of the
State of New York, who are opposed to the cleo
ton of Lincoln and Hamlin, and who are in favor
of preserving the Union of these States upon the
basis of the Constitution, hearty and cordial
support of the Ticket now submitted las officially
printed elsewhere) to their consideration.
The good work of bringing the people together,
then, having been happily accomplished, nothing
now remains to be done but to go on perfecting the
minor details of organization throughout the State
The time is short There isno time to be lost. But
little more than forty days intervenes between now
and election. Let every man. therefore, 60 TO work.
There are some dark places here and there, in the
State, which only need little light to drive from
them the pestilental vapots Of Bepublicanism-
that light can only be dffused by systematic cir
culaton of Union documents, keeping pace with the
perseverng exertions of the best speakers We can
bring into the field. The Republicans, it ought
not to be forgotten, are vigilant industrious, and
spending, like water the money stolen from our
taxpayers last winter not only to hand over the
State to their sectional Presidential candidate, but
to retain the Albany power and plunder us Overland
over again, next winter.
Fellow-citzens Friends of the Union and the
Constitution With PATRIOTISM for your motto, and
not PLUNDER-with PRINCIPLE to uphold, and not
MEN, merely, let us up to the work before us,
hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder. Now is
the day, and now is the hour. The contest, you
need not be reminded, is not an ordinary one. Mo-
menteus events hang upon it. country saved or
country lost, is the ISSUE We have never doubt
ed that with the opposition to Lincoln united, we
could beat him iu New York but let us endeavor
to show our Union friends elsewhere, that we can
do something more than barely beat him. The
thing can be done by fifty thousand majority, just
as well as by five thousand, If the combination,
now perfected, is but backed up it ought to be-
and we are sure it will be--by determination, en-
ergy perseverance and patriotism.
