The Union Against Lincoln.

The Union movement contaminated
in this city last week is sweeping over
the Safe. The change it has wrought,
and the enthusiasm 1t has infused, are
miraculous. Before there was doubt
and dependency now all is hopeful
ness and confidence. No sooner was
the movement agreed upon and an
nounced than it was promptly taken up
and adopted by the masses In Kings,
Queens, Suffolk, Westchester, Putnam,
Rockland, Richmond and Sullivan, and
we arc to-day told by the Albany Argw
that the people in Orange, Ulster,
Greene, Duchess, Columbia, Rensscl-
aer and Albany are rushing to its sup
port with unanimity which will sweep
everything before it and settle the re-
suit in TIE State. The Republicans,
panic truck at the enthusiasm and de-
termination Of the Union men, are ma
king their last and most desperate cf-
forts to regain the ground they have
lost. Tie most extensive, expensive,
novel and attractive "dodge" ever at
tempted by then-the Wide Awake
demonstration-is to be played tonight,
in the vain hope that it will revive their
tagging energies and re-enforce the
confidence they have lost. But It
es too late. The common oppo-
ncnts of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES men,
Breckenridge men, Bell men-having
risen superior to party dictation by uni
ting upon a ticket embracing represent
atives from each organization, are now
with equal resoluteness marching onward
to that grander triumph in November,
when Black Republicanism shall receive
its final quietus, and another terra Of
good feeling" dawn upon the country.

AN Irshman out West, conceiving
that little powder thrown upon soa e
green wood would facilitate its burning,
directed small stream from key up
on the smoking pile; but not possessing
hand sufficiently quick to cut this off
at the desirable moment, was blown in
to million peices. The coroner tor the
occasion reasoned out this verdict :" 1t
can't be called suicide, bekase he did mt
mean to kill himself; it wasn't vista

breath, for be hadn't anything left to
breathe with; it is plain he didn't know

ance for the changes they undergo, in
form and sound, in being Anglicised !:

!" hourishing spring" that is, early in the
spring. "Hyson skin" is composed of
the refuse of other kinds, the native

COMING DowN.-Mr. Seward, few
weeks ago, while in Boston, predicted
that New York would give $4,000 ma
jority for the Republican ticket. The
latest news from that gentleman on his
Western tour, reports him as estimating
this majority at 6o,ooO,-a considerable
reduction. The Evening Post of this
city makes a still further reduction,
placing it at $4,000, or a trihe more
than half the majority for Fremont in
1856. Go on, gentlemen. At this rate
you will beat yourselves before Novem-
ber.-J0urnal of Commerce.
