inquiring rather anxiously as to what will be
the probable result of the Presidential contest
in New York this fall. The Democracy have
so loudly and boastingly asserted that in con.
sequence of their Bell Everett Douglas John.
son Union Irish American Wing Democratic
Succotash Ticket, they will certainly carry
the State, that those who are not fully posted
have their fears that this may be the CASE
But the fact is, this ticket only makes votes
for the Republicans. The masses are to de-
eide the question, and unfortunately for the
unprincipled demagogues who contaminated
the uy-and-sell, they are not in favor of any
such proceeding, and the 9th of November
win prove it. The con.rivers of this attempt
to swindle the people did not lay their plans
deep enough,-did not fully complete the ar
rangements. Already they are in wrangle:
Brooks says that the Americans on the Doug
las electoral ticket are to vote for Bell, while
Ottendorfer, Douglas man and an elector,
says they are to vote for Douglas. Both Of
these men are editors, and one of them, it is
very plain to be seen, speaks falsely. The
great majority of the American party will not
submit to this fraud, and so disguised are
they with the entire performance, that they
will vote for Lincoln. The Albany Statesman,
forsfive years past the leading American pa
per Of New York, states that more than
5000 Americans who have never voted q
Republican ticket, will vote for Lincoln and
Hamlin this fall. Very good proof Of this
may be found in a call for Lincoln and
Hamlin meeting published in the Rochester
Democrat and american, and signed by tour
hundred and fourteen Bell and Everett men
who have repudiated the attempt to sell them
to DOUGLAS.
1t is not the Americans alone that are dis
satisfied; the German Democrats of the EN-
pire State aro very indignant, and the fol-
lowing resolves adopted unanimously At .
numerous meeting Of that class Of citizens,
held at Flushing, L. l., a few days since, is
but the expression Of the entire German vote
of that State:
That shall support only straight Douglas electo-
raj ticket that means only such electors who pledged
" yote for the regular nominees Of the National Democra
cy, Wig: Stephen A. Douglas and Herschel v. johnson
That we earnestly request the Democratic State
Committee TO pledge individually every eector the
Democratic ticket to vote for none hut Douglas and John
and 70 substitute new name for every elector who
refuses such pledge.
New York is safer to-day for Republican
ism this fall, than Iowa. The following
from the New York Tribune, on the pros
poets in that State, certainly places the mat
ter before the people in very plain and can
did manner:
Dragging and lying seem to be the chief
weapons of attack and defense employed by
the Douglasitcs. They are necessarily boast
ing of large accession of strength from i'm
probable quarters. They are pesistently as
sorting that Breckenridge is about to with
draw from the canvass and leave the field to
them. In no part of the country do they
wield these weapons with moro audacity and
vigor than in the State of New York. Hav-
ing virtually abandoned the contest in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, because the Brock.
inridge wing Of the party is in the ascendant
there, they are just now making desperate
assault upon the ranks of Lincoln in this
State. They would fain stimulate the igno-
rant and credulous in their piebald band with
the hope of securing our thirty-five Electoral
votes, and thus defeat Lincoln and carry
Douglas into the House Of Representatives to
the exclusion of Breckinridpe. Let us look
