The only declaration of the late Soft Convention
with regard to the use TO be made of the socalled
Union men on its Electoral ticket, is contained in
its fifth resolution, which reads as follows:
Rsored That no result of the pen ling Presidential contest
will prove disastrous the peace and integrity of the Union
and much to be deprecated the election Of Abraham
Lincoln the sectional candidate Of the Republican party and
that recognizing the duty of all patriotic conservative citizens
in sverng such calamity and extending to them
cordial fellowship in such work, invite them, the
mode Of Withholding from him thyve electoral votes
of New York and thereby securing his defeat to
port Of the Electoral ticket presented by this Convention
pesng to It's high persons and political character vindics
tion of the wisdom and bey OF its selection and guarantee
that SURFACES of all Unonoyng citizens may be safely
med the Electoral College thus composed Of dipassiouate
honorable ard that for the purpose Of such cooperation
the State Committee be authorized to nil any vacancy that
occur the Electoral State tickets by resignation otherwise
take such shall proper to give
united expression and effect to the national conservative
liments Of the State"
What piece of mystifcatOn is here When
the Bellies in New. Jersey sold out to the Breck
inridgers, the terms were carefully fixed, and not
q loOphole was left for cheating in case the CON-
bined ticket should happen to be elected. But
here all is purpOsely left in maze. There was
some fear that the Union party would rebel at the
plan of voting solid for Douglas, and so it was hid
in mist of yerbiage. However, that is the de.
sign. All the Electors no niD ated at Syracuse
ale uDreservedly pledged to Douglas, and cannot
bonorably vote for anybody else. There is nOt get
a single Bel. Erereh EieetOr in nomination in this
State,

AS an act of Justice to the Hon. w. Hunt, We
ieel ourselves bound to state that before finally
merging himself with the Douglas DemOcracy-all
of course for the greater glory Of Bell and Everett
he took the advice of one of the most distin
guisbed and influential of the Beleyeret leaders in
New. England. Our readers will hardly require to
be informed that we here refer to the Hon. George
Lunt of Massachusetts, of whom it is perhaps not
inyidious to say that, while he is sometimes violent
and ipjudicious as journalist he is nevertheless
one of the shrewdest and most far seeing politicians
of whom his party can boast. Mr.. Lunt, as we
are informed gave to Mr.. Hunts project of be-
coming Douglasite his full appreciation, fact
which is perhaps not surprising considering that
The Boston Courier, the able journal which Mr..
Lunt controls, has repeatedly manifested stroog
disposition to attach itself to the Democratic party,
though its preference seems to be rather for the
Slave Code than the Squatter Sovereign school OF
Democracy. However, Mr.. Lunt cordially advised
his friend at Lockport to 60 in for Douglas, adding
that Republican objections to such coalition
were no better than objections to mans alying
himself with terrier to kill Enthusiastically an
original and strong simile Upon this counsel
the Ex-Governor has acted and we hope he will
enjoy long and an hOnored career in the Demo
cratic household, at least long as that household
sticks together. With these few words we bid him
farewell for the present; and when he stops
repeating his old speech with Bell and Everett for
his text, and delivers it openly aud honestly in be-
half of Douglas and johnson, we viii gratuitously
report the fact to the public, who will probably
respect him all the more for it.

MRS. GIRNEK.

In another column we publish card from gen.
tleman connected by marriage with the Quincy
family, asking suspension of public opinion as to
the letter purporting TO come from Mrs John
Henry Quincy, and published in our columns
week ago. We cheeriulIy publish this card, and
unite most earnestly ia the request if there be any
reason for supposing that tne letter is not au-
thentic. If the name and fame of Mrs. Quincy
has not ceased TO be of the slightest moment to her
friends, il they have not so far it lies in their
power, wiped II out utterly from their memory, if
they had not already given up their relative as one
already irretreyaby lost, We can very easily I'M
derstand how the publication Of such Il letter must
wound them deeply, and how they must cling to
the hope that it is q wild and wicked forgery
Their reasons for supposiDg it to be so have been
laid before us, aud they strong enough to raise
doubt On the other hand is the evidence " hlch
first persuaded us that the letter was genuine, and
that though shaken, is not overthrow by the
testimony which the friends present. Thus the
question must rest in suspense till Mrs. Quincy
herself can be heard from; and letters, We I'M
derstand have already been written to that pur.
Doae.

In these times of political cheating and political
humbug, il is pleasing to find an old friend COZ
Quoting himself in an open and manly way. Mr..
James s. Thayer Of this city, of yore Wing, hsv-
ing determined to turn Douglasite, went like an
honest citizen and got himself elected to the syra-
cuse Convention, where be sat and voted aad
spoke like an outright and genuine follower Of the
great squatter Sovereign. What disgust hs
must have felt in his nmost soul for the fellows that
came sneaking in under pretence of being for Bel
and Everett. What was the reason that Brooks
and Hunt and Duer couldn't do il decently like

We bave received grave complaints from the
XIth, XvIIth, and XXth Wards, Of unfarness
and fraud 10 the management Of the late Repuoli-
can Primary Elections. We cannot make room
for all these statements; but we can lay down one
general rule for in every case Of Loeal abuse OF
power in this fashion. Let the aggrieyed go at
once to the leaders in the delegation-packiug
business, and say to them, "If you nominste
"your local candidates by such meaps, we Will
"yote against them" Having said this, If the
abuse is repeated, prove as good as your word.
That will soon cure the evil.

Judge William Kent must find himself among
strange bed-ellOws on the Douglas Electoratick
He was formerly Wing, then Seward Whig
and then a non Seward Wing. Then, we think,
he became a Republican, so far, at least, as
to vote the Fremont ticket in 1860. OF
late he has prOfessed, We are told, to be q
Be'leyerett or Union man. And now, suddenly,
to the surprise of his friends he turns up in this
une expected manner, as Douglas Democrat. Is
it possible there can be any mistake about it Per-
haps Mr. Brooks of The Express can enlighten us
MIR Erasius Brooks. Pray, Mr.. Brooks, do you
know any thing concerning the matter Was Judge
Kents name obtained to placing his name on this
ticket Ifobtained at ALL was it not after a very
positive previous denial Ifobtained at ali, how
were the strong first mged-if such reasons
were 30 urged-oyercome Is there not a letter
that will shed some light upon this subject The
Judges old friends know that he is in feeble health
and this apparently cratic course Of his, in per
mittipg his name to be- thus used, makes them more
anxious than ever.

We offer our sympathy to our friends of Tam
many Hall. We have had many bout with them
in our day, but as becomes gallant foe when his
enemy is in distress, we are now moved to address
them in words of commiseration and consolation
only. Let them remember that misfortune is the
lot of humanity and that true greatness consists in
bearing with fortitude the calamities that co ne
upon us without preparation. In the midst of
overwhelming evils, the philosOphic mind finds
support in the recoectiOns of the past as well as
in the bright anticipatons of the future; and genu
ine magnanmity is sustained in times of unmerted
depression by the sense of what it owes to the dig
nIy of its own departed grandeur. Tammany Hall
has been up, and now it is down. Let US hope
that the Old Wigwam may ally patience with
pride, and grace suffering by submissions; but if
the unchastened propensties of any of its braves
should make them thirst for revenge, we will sug
gest to them that vote for Lincoln and Hamn
will do tie business with certainty that is per-
feet, and an efficacy that cannot fail.

HumJpg: The pretense of Hunt, Brooks, and
Duer, that they are for Bell and Everett.
Hu,nbrg: The pretense that the Hon. W. Hunt
fears the sectionalism of Abraham Lincoln and tho
Republican party.
Hv,nJug: The pretense that there are any Union
men on the Syracuse Electoral ticket. They arc
all Douglas men, and bound to vote for Douglas
only.
Hunting: The idea that the Conservative voters
of New.York can be deluded BY devices so shallow
and transparent.

Mr.. Kelley, the nominee for Governor, is pleas
ant, estimable gentlemen, who, having grown rich
as city merchant, has retired to a country seat
and plays farmer very credibly, though of course
not proftably. He has not an enemy in the world,
and will poll fair party vote But who considers
him fit successor to such men as John Jay, the
Clintons, Tompkins, Marcy, Seward, and Wright ?
Judge Allen, for Lieut.. Governor, is far ADLER
man, and would make stronger and better Gov
ernOr.
Messrs. Rhodes and Wright, the subordinate
candidates, are moderate men in every way.
The Electoral Ticket, as q whole, is weak,
though it displays some strong names. Why was
it not headed by Horatio Seymour and Washington
Hunt' When you go in for coalition it is never
well to be sbamefaced about it, and the failure to
give the new recruits one Of the State Electors
was a blunder Hiding the (pretended) Bell
Electors away down the list, was the very way
10 render them doubly distasteful.

These are all respectable citizens; but where
is the evidence that they will vote in any contn.
gency for Bell and Everett Let us see the docu-
ments Mr. Kidd has been Democrat for the last
two or three years, if the most obsequious de-
vOtion to the bebests of Corning, Dean Richmond
and Cagger make one a Democrat. Mr. Kent
has taken no active part in politics for a long
time pat. Mr.. st. John may safely be re
lied on to do whatever the most rancorous hatred
to the Republican cause may suggest; ditto to Mr..
BurrOws but we have not apartice Of eyidencethat
man of the above would, if elected, vote for Bell
and Everett Gentlemen let us have fair show
of bands Do not seek votes under the pretense
of devotion to the " Union" ticket, and then east
them for some one else. We call on The Express
whose editor was one OF the bargalners at SYRIA

would, if elected vote for Bell In fact, do they
intend in any case to do anything but vote for

as having been hung. These reports should be

resented that there are 1000 Abolitionists 10 a

1t appears, until some authoritative statement TO
the contrary shall be furnished, that the so.caed
Union men who are on the Douglas ticket are
not, in any contingency, to vote for Bell and Ever
EFT, but for Douglas Only. At least nothing was
said in the Convention about their voting for Bell
and Everett under any circumstances. This, too,
agrees with the programme Of Hunt, Brooks and
Duer, which has been to cast the whole Electoral
vote of New-York for Douglas. Perhaps theywill
be able to do it.

party; but we don't see how it can properly DO
