POLITICAL.

A delegation of New ork breckenridge political
leaders (headed by Gideon j. Tucker, who also
heads the Breckenridge electoral ticket at the
National Hotel, in this city. Their erraDd is,
doubtless, or of consultation with the managing
friends of Breckenridge and Lane in this city, with
reference to the proprety of acceding to the pend
ing proposition for a fusion OF the Breckenridge
force in New Eork with the already fused Bell and
Douglas forces. We trust that they may be unani-
mOuSly and promptly advised to make the arrange
ment, without which there can be no hope what
ever that the vote of New York will fail to be cast
for Lincoln. We estimate the vote of Breckenridge
and Lane in New York at full seventy-fve thou
sand; far higher figure than the managers of the
other wings of the opposition to Lincoln are will
ing to accede to them But even if their ticket
could poll but ten thousand votes in New York, it
is highly probable that those ten thousand may
settle the contest there Washington Star.
THE REPUBLICAN PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.
The World is not as confident of success as other
Republican journals, and therefore says:
Although the Republicans carried New York for
Fremont, by plurality of eighty thousand, they
were in an absolute minority of more than forty
four thousand. The whole North was at that time
in a blaze of excitement The outrage upon Mr..
Sumner and the Kansas troubles were then fresh,
and created profound sensation all over the North.
Almost every telegram from the West added fuel
to the flame. At present, there is nothing in
rent events to produce violent ebullition in the
public mind, and the Republican party must lose
the advantages which accrued to it in the exciting
occurrences of 1856. Another circumstance un-
favorable to the Republicans is the fact that New
York is to be the main battle-ground of the cam
paign, as Pennsylvania was in 1856. 1t was seen
then that if Pennsylvania could be taken from Fire.
mont he would be beaten, as it seems now that
Lincoln will be beaten if he loses New ork. There
are also certain matters connected with our inter-
nal State affairs which will help to place the Repub
licans in worse position than they occupied in the
last Presidential election. The infamous legislation
of last winter was perpetrated by a Legislature
in both branches of which the Republicans had
large majority; and their opponents will insist on
holding the party responsible for results which it
was clearly and undeniaby in its power to prevent
This formidable weapon will be thrust home with
telling force wherever any one OF the army OF
Democratic speakers addresses public meeting.

mates at the International Hotel were alarmed by
a loud explosion in one OF the rooms in an upper
story of that establishment. Officers Quinn and
Conner, of the Sixth ward, hearing the detonation

GERS entered the room they found it in tlames the

mans apparel. A few pals of water soon Tighted
matters and the inmates of the hotel regained their
former composure. If the guest had placed his
valuabes, the law specifies, in the safe of the es
tablishment the consequences would, undoubtedly,
have been of graver character. Of Tuesday
