The three great Democratic organization

The three great Democratic organizations
of New York city have announced their
position in the pending political contest.
Tammany Hall, with but single dissentient
voice, led off for the Giant of Illinois
Mozart Hall, though less decided in giving
in it's adhesion, has nevertheless endorsed
him, and last, though by no means least, the
Empire Club, which exercises all-powerful
influence with the many voters of the down.
town wards, has nailed up the Douglas flag,
and goes into the campaign with its usual
vigor and enthusiasm. In places removed
beyond the influence of New York local
politics, the character and power of an
organization like this Empire Club can
scarcely be conceived. Among the laboring
men this Club exercises resistless sway. Its
real head, the head that plans and dictates
its movements, is Captain Rynders. Its
nominal President is James Irving.

A Union Electoral Ticket--The Latest
Dodge Of the Traitors.

The federal office. holders, and their
hangers-on, who support BRECKENRIDGE,
are just now busy in advocating the project
of compromise with the Democracy, who
sustain DOUGLAS, under which an Electoral
ticket shall be agreed on, to be composed OF
men pledged
First, 10 vote for DOUGLAS in the Elec-
toral College, in case the vote of Minnesota
will elect him;
Second, To vote for BRECKENRIDGE, in
case the vote of Minnesota will not elect
DOUGLAS, and will elect the former-and
Third, TO vote for DOUGLAS, as the first
choice of the State, in case the vote OF
Minnesota will elect neither.
Our opinion of this proposition may be
inferred, when we say that it is one which
could be made only by knave, and be en-
tertained only by fool. And we say the
same of any other proposition which recog-
nizes any rights in the Democratic party
on the part of the BRECKENRIDGE faction
or any claims whatever upon Democratic
consideration or sympathy.
This scheme, which is vailed under the
covering of hypocritical pretence for har-
mony, is proposed simply for the purpose OF
DESTROYING the moral force of DOUGLASS
position before the people. The differ.
ence between Douglasism, as embodied
in the Popular Sovereignty platform, and
Buchananism as set forth in the Slave
Code creed, is as wide and distant as
it is possible for any one to conceive,
or, for any two antagonistic organizations to
occupy. For DOUGLAS, or for DOUGLASS
friends, to negotiate with any organization
whatever, on the basis of transfer Of
strength to such organization, in case of
success, is to make an acknowledgment OF
one of two facts first, that there is no es-
sential difference between the negotiating
parties, in point of principle or, second,
that principle in this contest is of no practi-
cal account, and that both sides are en-
gagged simply in corrupt scramble for the
spoils. :.
AS friends of Judge DOUGLAS, we should
protest against any such arrangement, if we
thought there was danger enough to war
rant either protest or fear of its accomplish.
ment. But we cherish no such fear. The
trick is too transparent to catch any but
the silliest fats. The secessionists can e
their own way at their own pleasure. Tht
Democracy will have no af6liation with
them under any contingency. There wouli
be as much sense and more modesty in 6
proposition of like nature from the Black
Republicans. And compromise with thu
Black Republicans would be entered intt
by the Democracy, just about as quick as i
would be with the seeding traitors.

The Declaration Of Independence Mon
ument.

umcnts
Hon. WILLIAM G. ALEXANDER, of New
Jersey, WILLIAM CURTIS MOVES, and the
other trustees appointed by the thirteen ori~
ginal States to superintend the construction
of monument in Philadelphia to commem-
crate the Declaration of Independence, have
made their report. The spot selected for
the erection of the monument is near the
centre of Independence Square. AS three
of the original thirteen States have taken
no action in the matter, they have appor.
toned the expense among the remaining ten,
as follows, assuming the ratio of representa-
ton as basis: New Hampshire, $4,000 !;
Massachusetts, $l6,83O; Rhode Island,
$4,000; Connecticut, $6,12O; New York,
$50,490; New Jersey, $3.50; Penrsyl-
vania, $38, 250 Delaware, $3.50; Mary
land, $3.50; Georgia, $12,24O. These
amounts will be proportionably reduced
when the remaining States shall pass SINH
lar laws. In the judgment of the trustees
the installments of the contributions will be
required, and they respectfully call for them
at the following times: One fourth on the
LIST day of July, 1861, and the remainder in
three equal installments, payable on the lst
day of January and July, 1862, and the LIST
day of January, 1868. The design of the
monument is not yet determined, but it is
expected that the corner stone will be laid
july 4, 1861.

Editors Pioneer and Democrat
IS. G., an abolition Republican has
Just returned from st. Paul. He says that there
is to be National Democratic paper published
at st. Paul-thesonly Democratic paper that is
published there he wants that should
subscribe for it. He says there will be spe.
cimen copy sent to me. He asked me to hand
him 81 so.
Now what does this mean when Republicans
are trying to get subscribers to such paper?
l have no time to write more,
Yours, --, PM.
We will tell you, friend, what it means.
The Black Republicans, few of the BUcH-
ANAN Office holders, and the three Delegates
to Charleston who sold themselves to the
Administration and the Secessionsts, in>
tend to hunt together during the ensuing
canvass. The latter class will resort to any
scheme of treachery and corruption to give
the electoral vote of Minnesota to LINCOLN.
They know their disunion candidates do not
stand the ghost of chance of success, and
they prefer LINCOLN to DOUGLAS. If by
getting up BRECKENRIDGE ticket this fall,
they can draw off enough votes from DoUa-
LAS to defeat him, they will assuredly do so.
1t is the same game that IKE Cook and
his DANTE band, played in Illinois, in 1853
The only difference is, that here, GEORGE L.
BECKER and HENRY M. RICE, will assume
the role of disorganizers and traitors to the
party. A glorious combination it will be-,
to see BECKER and RAMSEY, RICE and VIII
KINsoN, FRIDLEY and SEcoMBE, EDGERToN
and WINDOW, and the smaller fry of Federal
Office holders and Black Republicans, all
working to accomplish common purpose.
But, thank God, the people are all right ;
and DOUGLAS will carry Minnesota despite
the unhOly alliance.

Facts to be Remembered.

The Black Republicans publicly rejoice
over the nomination of Breckenridge.
The friends of Breckenridge admit that
running him for President furnishes the only
hope which Lincoln can have of reaching
the Presidency.
The Lincoln and Breckenridge parties
agree in supporting Congressional interview
ton with slavery in the Territories. If the
friends of Douglas are defeated, intervention
will follow, and the irrepressible conflict will
commence.
1t is just as bad for the Democrats to de-
feat their party by voting for Breckenridge,
as it would be to defeat it by voting for
Lincoln.

The CoNTRAoT FOR CLEANING THE STREETS.
At the last regular semi-weekly meeting of
the Board of City Improvements, an effort
was made to award the contracts for clean
ing the streets. The Board seems to feel the
necessity for caution in regard to this matter,
and it has therefore been deferred from time
to time, 80 that the members might be able
to satisfy themselves in regard TO the ability
of the would-be contractors to fulfill their
agreements. There was quite difference
in the bids for the various districts, and as
the contracts are to be made for three years,
there has been laudable desire on the part
of the Board to make the best possible ar
rangement to arrive at the end contemplated.
A number of motions to award the districts
to different parties were negatived, until
Mr. Horton moved to contract with Ser.
LOngley to clean the Western District for
$30,900 which was decided in the affirmative
by the following vote;
Ayes-Messrs. Horton, Gilbert and the
Mayor.
Nays-Messrs. Stagge and Kiersted.
No other district was awarded, but we
believe it is understood that the bids still lie
upon the table for furth er consideration.
