New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1860-08-15

.educed Hards, calmly repose upon their sekno'S'-
edged fidelity to the rulitg power Of the party
their underwriting devotion to its testprinciples,
and the consolng consciousness that, when this
6tfnl 6eht is over, the deserters must in all hu-
mility renew their allegiance to the National nag
and fall into the rear ranks Of the party OF DO
drummed out 81 the camp, or sent to the trenches
to be shot
And vet. with this ultimstum staring them In
the face, the slippery jockeys who meet to buy ana
sell at the Central City Tattersalls to-day, will
assume to be the Democratic party of New-York.
For they are as bold and brazen in preteasion' as
they are reckless and roguish in practice And
with the larger share of the journals OF the or
oonization under their control, and more money at
command than their rivals, and with an imposing
array of ambitious leaders, and long retinue OF
noisy and deluded followers, they will seem, to
superficial observers, to make good their assump-
tion. But, those who have studied the analogous
contest of le48, and remember how confidently
the 6ery Barnburners fought that good fight, and
how calmly the cool Hunkers waited for the result
now look below the seething surface OF current
events and discover their ultimate destination.
They know that now, as then the insurgents that
follow the fortunes of the rebel chief must, when
the realities of the ballot.box have dispeled the IL
lusions of the canvass either escape to join con-
genial associates in other organizations, or submit
TO do degrading penance in the party they have
deserted.
The antagonistic characters of the men who con-
troll the rival factions are the most salient and sig
nifcant feature of the contest. The names OF
Dickinson, Schell, Tucker Brady, Folett, and
Mather whose couDsels ruled the Breckenridge as
semblage, have been synonyms of National De
mocracy ever since the Slavery question disturbed
the party while Richmond, Church, Cagger,
Ludlow, Cassidy, and Cochrane, whose lightest
word will be- memorable law at Syracuse, to-day,
achieved their first laurels in fighting the " Sec
tiopal" battles of "Free Soil and Free Men,"
Since they sacrificed principles for patronage and
power, they have used the Democratic party Of
New York to pacfy the Presidential pretensons of
some of their leaders, to crafty others with minor
Federal and State offices, to enrich Others by secur-
ing special fayors to a mammoth railroad corpora
ton and TO cheat and crush out men of the type OF
Daniel s. Dickinson. They have W entered into
contract to "run the Douglas craft till Novem-
Der, when having made all they can by the ven
ture, the buccaneers will scutte Der, take to the
boats, and board the first galleon that will give
them access to the treasure in it's hold, and the
good sheer in its cabin.
The subject of uniting with the BieckiDridgeites
and the Belleveretts may come before the Conven
ton. Should terms Of purchase he proposed the
salable portion of the latter will be likely to be
caught by them-for they are hungry enough to
bite at the naked hook. But the Hands, having
learned that by coalition the softs mean cheating,
that by fusion they intend fraud, and that their
idea of fair division is to give away the husks
and keep the kernel themselves, will doubtless
snurn he offer
