LITERARY INJUSTICE.

distrust. Whether the society shall refuse TO pub;
works which II fears will diminish its usefulness
or its receipts is q QUESTION of policy which it had
a right to decide and the public have an equal
right to support or refuse to support it's decision:
This is legitimate but when the Society repub.
fishes the works of foreign or dead authors, it ID
guilty of q reprehensible error, when it ~alters, OK,
%purgates, and misrepresents the sentiments Of the
writer's. There is no worse Advantages taken OF
an author than this, and Iheh fair men find that
a Religious society is guilty of so miserdblS d Usage,

1t is to us a matter of the profoundest mystery,

the Southern States, has become one vast and en-
tire pack of fools abou: the negro race. Surely
common sense upon the negro question has fed

NHw.yORK-TuE PROSPECT.

Braeging and lying seem to be the chief weapons
of attack and defense employed by the Douglasltes
They arc necessarily Boosting of large accessions
of strength from impro fable quarters They are
persisenty asserting that BreckDrldge is about to
withdraw from the canvass and leave the field to
them. In 10 part sf the country do they WELD
there weapons with more audacity and ygor than
in the State of NewYork. Having virtually
abandoned the contest in Pennsylvania and New
Jertey because the Breckenridge wing of the pa ty
is in the ascendant there they are just now making
desperate assault upon the ranks of Lincoln in
this State. They would fam stimulate the gno-
rant and credulous in their piebald band with the
hope of securing our thrty-fve Electoral votes,
and thus defeat Lincoln and carry Douglas into the
House of Representatives to the exclusion of
Breckenridge. Let us look at the figures and see
if there is the fautest prospect of their success.
AT the state elections of 1853 and 80, the Dem.
Ocratic party of New-YOrk was as united and har.
monous as it has been any time these dozen yearo.
la neither of these contests we're the Republicans
remark ably active, and the result showed that
large vote, mainly from their side, remained at
nUHo' III C1Oh VI 'booo yOn'ej thO o'OioSc iNcpuI-
ican majority was just about 10000. Though the
mode of stating the case which we are adopting is
preiuacial to our tide, We VII assume that the
Republican majority, pure and simple, is now only
10000. We enter the field, then, with this ma
jority over our united Democratic opponents. The
frat thing to be disposed of is the outstanding
Wing and American vote. The best-infOrmed and
uOst cautious calcuators declare that in spite of
the bargain and sale of Hunt & Co., three-fourths
Of this vote will be given to Lincoln But, as our
purpose in this estimate is TO allow our opponents
the benefit Of every doubt, we will assume that 80
much of this vote is cast at all will be equally
divided between Lincoln and Douglas. We have
not a doubt that this is a much larger proportion
than Douglas will get, but let it stand 3d. So far
then, the 20, 900 majority with which the Lincoln
item to be taken into the account is the Breckn
ridge vote. His friends asfert that he will receive
Il large suppOrt-that it will come from every
County in the State-aDd that il will be heavy in
the metropolis and in all the surrounding counties.
Some Of the more sangune advocates of Breckin
ridge claim 100, coo votes. Oilers claim rs 900.
We have never heard a member of that section of
the party put 1t at less than 50, 000 We are con.
fdent that il will b. much larger than is now
generally supposed. Call it 10000, If you please.
10 arrive at the ultimate result, we must withdraw

facts that stand out very

There are certain facts that stand out very
plainly on the face of this business, viz:
]. The legislation of last Winter is not matter
that any body or party covets the credit of.
9. The State Convention Of each party regarded
il as SO corrupt and odous that it sought to throw
the dscredit Of it upon the other.
3. The Democrats stigmatize it as Republican
leyisaton to which the Republicans retort that
the obnoxious acts could not have passed. either
branch of our Legislature without the nearly
"un,pimous vote of the Democratic members, y
which cannot be denied.
Now, then, we wish to say to the People of all
parties that there no for the evils go Justly
complained of in either Of these resolutions It's
true that much Of the legislation of last winter was
prcGigate; it is true that majority OF the men,
beers of each House was Republican; it is further
true that about half the Republicans firmly resisted
the corrupt schemes that were pushed through,
and that seven cighths of the Democrats helped
the worse half of the Republicans to pass Them.
II is true. as the Democratic resolve implies, that
tbis legislation reflects dscredit On the Republican
party. because that party had majority In each
House,; it is nanifestly true as the Republican
resolve retorts that the Democrats have no right to
profit by this bad legislation, because their mem
hers proved far more generally corrupt than the
Republicans. When we have reached tine end of
this pot and kettle crimuaton and Iecrimination,
we find that the evil so justly denounced is not to
be cured by putting up or putting down either
party, but by general uprising against corrupt
legislation, of the People irrespective of party.
What the People have to do 10 the premises is
simply this:
/. Watch the Primary Meetings Of their respec-
tive parties, and that honest, faithful, respon-
slble conscientious, reliable menare nominated for
the Legislature.
9, If men of o different stamp secure n0mina-
tons, by the acts which they so we'll understand,
give them fair notice that they must decline or bs
beaten. Then, if they persist in running, beat
them at the polls.
3. If thoroughly good, Trustworthy man is
nominated by your own party. vote for him; If
..ot, and the opposing candidate Is OF the right
stamp, vote for him; If neither of them will do to
tie TO, consult your neighbors who nave prejudice
in favor of upright legislation, put third cand-
date in nomination, expressly on that ground, and
give him all the votes you can.
If those Who really desire honest lawmakers
will thus act, they can secure them; otherwise
not Trying to make party capital out of the bad
legislation with which party politics had nothing
to do, by tossing the nl-fayored brat from one
side to the other, will preclude any real reform and
subserye no good purpose whatever.

hs,s 40 400 votes from The Doa slastes; an then,

these 40 900 votes from the Douslasites; anthem,
practically, the majority Of Lincoln will be his
original 90 900, with this 40, 900 added, making an
aggregate Of 10000.
1t is said that few epublicans-lobbyists,
legislative cormorants, disappointed enpectaut',
&c.-will refuse to support Lincoln. There may
be a small squad of such creatures. Ii they
would only openly desert our standard, and march
straight over to the enemy in broad daylight, 1t
would be benefit to Lincoln. For every such
corrupt deserter he would receive two honest re-
crnts. The contact of these rotten rogues is con-
tsgion; their support is weakness. Let them CO.
And, as we are making calculation that will be
more than verified by the final result, we viii de-
duet 10 600 for defectioDs of all sorts. This viii
leave to Lincoln majority Of $4,000. We do not
believe it will be one vote below that figure.
All that remains for our friends to do is to
enligbten the people by documents and speeches;
discipline our forces; perfect our organization;
and prepare to get all our voters to the polls. Re-
pubhcans remember that there are some thirteen
thousand school districts 10 the State OF New
York, and that single additional vote in each OF
these will swell the majority of Lincoln to most
gratifying aggregate.

Warrington Hunt last evening told his followers
that sectionalism was very bad thiDg-that the
Republican and Breckenridge parties were sec
tional, while the Bell and Douglas were not; that
the choice of President lay between Bell and Lin
coin; and that he had no doubt that ten Of the
Electors on the Douglas Democratic Ticket would
vote for Bell and Everett. But Mr.. Hunts opinion
is not what is required to settle the controversy;
il may be very honest and sincere, but no more so
than that of Mr. Ottendorler, their colleague on the
ticket, and Mr. McMaster, who helped frame it,
who as confidently assert that the whole thirty
i've were nominated as Douglas men, and, as hon
Orable meD, must so vote if elected Why does
Mr.. Hunt seek to put us of with opinions when
the facts are fully at hand He can publish
simple card, signed by his ten Electors tomorrow,
if he WILL stating over their own names for just
whom they severally intend to vote. If he does
this, and the ten say they shall vote for Bell and
Eyele tt they will either be put off the Douglas
ticket, or some Democrats will take themselves off
that's fiat.
Mr. Hunt assumes that all the Democrats prefer
Bell and Everett to Lincoln and Hamliu. He is
not authorized to speak 70! them, and they do not
say this Let them speak for themselves.
Mr.. Hunt coDcocts a bugbesr which he styles
Coalition, ard proceeds to demolish it. The
friends of Bell and Douglas, he says, have right
to cOalesce. To be sure they have, if they do not
deceive They have no right to commend candi-
iates to one set of voters as for Bell and to an
other set as for Douglas. That is the point, Wash

II is hard TO believe that all of the ten gentle
toe Douglas electoral ticket as Bell men, have vol
unfairly consented to apolitical subterfuge whereby
a large body Of their fellow. citizens are to be en-
tced into yOiiIg for man to whom they would
NOT knowingly give their sufirages. We do not
like to credit so damaging an mputaton upon the
integrity of these ten persons, some of whom, We
know, ard all of whom, We presume, have hitherto
had the reputation of being honest and honorable
men. But what alternative is left us, under the
silence OF those who still permit their names to re-
main on that ticket They are claimed on one
hard as Douglas men, on another as Bell men, aud
they ktow that so long as they keep silent they are
coDsentiUg to knayish political trick, calculated
and intended to cheat the least intelligent of the
voters of those two parties into giving votes the
effect of which they do not understand. Does

We asked some days since, if it were true, as
we had heard, that DR.. McChesney Of Trenton
had declined to run for Elector on the Bell and
also on the Fusion ticket. The Trenton True
American (Dem.) replies:
authorized that the letter Of declenon Of Dr.
C. G. MeCtesnry OF the Electors the Bell aud Everett
Electoral Ticket written solely account OF recent attic
tion and his irm state Of health but that the Doctor
till ,ns ever and decided oldLine Whig and
firm supporter Of the Of Bell and Everett the true
rnd tried friends of the Union and all its interests"
The Electors meet at Trenton, where DR.. N.
resides, and it would probably take him an hour to
meet with them and cast his vote, supposing he
should be elected. If not elected he would of
course be spared even this trouble. We submit,
therefore, that The Ameriean'. excuse does not
inyadate the admitted fact.
