THE Eus1on NEW YORK.

The political gamblers in New York
have become desperate. As the cam
paign progresses, every day adds to the
certainty of the election of Lincoln and
Hamlin. No one of the opposing fac
tions pretends to have any hope of an
election by the people. And the idea
of being driven from their plunder at
the public Treasury is driving the lead
ers to madness. In their intense strug-
gle for the spoils, they have assumed
that the masses Of their several factions
were as mere merchandise in their hands,
to be sold and transferred at pleasure.
With the desperate purpose of defeatin
an election by the people, and throwing
it into Congress to be the reward of cor
ruption and bribery, the leaders of the
Douglas and Bell factions first fused
After long negotiation, the Central Com
mittees of these factions entered into an
agreement to divide the spoils between
them, if they could succeed, in the pro-
portion of 25 to 10. Accordingly ten
Douglas men were omitted from the
Democrat electoral ticket, and ten good
Know Nothings substituted, and the
State and county offices were to be di-
vided in about the same ratio. A per-
feet hallalujah! shout went up from all
the Bell and Douglas organs at the sue
cess of this amalgamation. But, alas! it
was soon discovered that hundreds of
the honest voters refused to be sold like
slaves, and utterly repudiated the dis
graceful coalition. It became manifest
that with this fusion, still there was no
chance of getting the spoils. Many OF
the faithful swore by the sceptre Of
Breckinridge, and if they voted their
own ticket the case was hopeless indeed
So bargain was proposed to the lead
ers of the Breckinridge faction to come
into the partnership and share the
spoils. The Breckinridgers would only
come in on the same terms granted to
the Know Nothings-that is ten thirty
ffths of all the, spoils. The Douglas
leaders demurred for long time, and
the committee were at work for a week
trying to make better terms, but the
Breckinridgers were infexible. At las
the Douglasites caved, and gave up ter
more Of their electoral ticket, and sup
piled their places with ten Breckinridgt
men, whom they had, up to that hour
denounced as ''traitors and disunionists.
i The fusion is now complete, as far al
the desperate leaders of the various fac
tions can make it. The Electoral ticke
is composed of fifteen Douglasites, tel
Bell men and ten Breckinridgers. Th'
Irish Catholic and rampant Know Moth
ing-the Slave Code Breckinridger ant
Squatter Douglasite-all phazes, fac
tions, and fanaticisms, are expected tt

of defeating the will of the people, and
throwing the election of President into
Congress to be gambled for by Dema-
gogues. But, thanks to the intelligence
of the people, the scheme cannot sue
ceed. The Indignation of the honest
masses at the efforts of the leaders to
sell and transfer them like slaves, is most
thoroughly aroused, Lincoln's major
ity in New York cannot be less than
one hundred thousand. Even the no
tiorious New York Herald, which engi
neered the schemes of coalition, now
sees the certainty of defeat in the up
rising of the people, and gives up the
contest in that State as hopeless, and
advises dead assault upon Pennsylva-
mia. The leaders there have already
fused, but all accounts bring the cheer
ing assurance that that State is secure
for the Republicans beyond the shadow
of a doubt. The elections just held in
Vermont and Maine are but the precur-
sors of the coming victory. No amount
of falsehoods and slang can longer gull
the people Of the free States. No COM
bination of discordant factions will be
permitted to thwart the will of the peo-
pie. Lincoln and Hamlin will be cleo
ted, The benefcient policy of the Re-
publicans will be carried out in the Ad-
ministration of the government. Peace
and prosperity will bless the people
And none will suffer but the plunderers
who have grown rich upon official cor
ruption, and whose dying struggles now
convulse the land
P.S. Since the above was written,
further developments show that the CO.
alition with the Breckinridge party has
failed, and the whole plot has blown up.
The leaders finally quarreled about the
division of the spoils, and the scheme of
amalgamation failed Lincoln will carry
New York by such a majority as no man
ever received in any State in the Union.

DREADFUL.

The Democratic organ published at
Charleston, Va, has column of horrors
under the following fearfully terrific
headlines:

This is an awful state of things in

Only think of it! Stephen Arnold

various kinds of ''treason' of which he

Stephen! You ought not to have went

But, in addition to all these several
sorts of "treason, Stephen, it seems, has
gone into the slave trade business on a

all, he has sold them all 'to the Black

that having been "sold'' to US by your

THE ELECTION IN VERMONT.

Vermont, we believe, is the native
State of Stephen A. Douglas. But she
ought not to be held responsible for the
wayward course Of her unworthy SON.
She is not the first mother whose fond
hopes for promising boy have been
blasted in the career of that same bows
manhood. And especially ought not the
Green Mountain State be made to suffer
in her reputation for having produced
the Little Dwarf, since she has so en-
phatically repudiated the abortion
Vermont held her election in the early
part Of the month; and although no Re-
publican ever doubted her fidelity to the
cause Of free labor, yet, from the boast
ing and rantlng of the Douglas orators
and editors, many were prepared to see
the contest close one. Douglas him
self stumped the State and rehearsed,
even to nausea, his thread bare humbugs,
and his satellites filled the land with false
statements of his triumphant progress
through the State. Well, the election
has come off, and although the Breckin-
ridge and Douglas men were cordially
united on State officers, the Republicans
swept the State by more than t,oenty- -t,oo
thousand majority, oDer both factions com
bined! This is five thousand more than
was ever given for any party before. In
fact, it is nearly a clean sweep. Yer
mont stands an example of fidelity to
truth and justice. If the want of votes

For years past the staple of all Dem
ocratic literature in Vermont has been
the charge Of "Abozaionisn''' on the
Republican party, If it were not for
the feeling of disgust, excited by the
everlasting repetition of the slang, one
would suppose that there must be some
thing horrible in the term, or at least
that the people of Vermont would GER
tainly discard any man upon whona' the
epithet was fastened. No matter who is
nominated by the Republicans, or for
what Office, the howl is instantly set up
and continued until election. The peo-
pie are told ad nauseuns, that the Re
publican candidates are "A6olitionists, -
and their doctrines are "Abolitaontsn,, !"
and the very heavens are made to rever-
berate "44bozatonisns!" Election day,
however, comes, and the Republican can
didates are all elected. Another un-
earthly screech of 'sAbolitionists!'' and
"-4boluionisns!' winds up the campaign,
and doses of "AboAtionism!" fill up the
vacation until the next canvass, when
the frantic shrieks of "A6olittonistr' are
renewed with double vehemence, and
followed by Republican majority
double of the year before.
Such has been the stock in trade OF
the Democratic party in Vermont for
years past, and in no former campaign
was the "Abolition' slang used so reck
lessly and in such an unbroken torrent
as in that just closed And the result
is exactly correspondent. There is

QUEER.

The Douglas men say that they are
the Democratic party, and that they
have been cheated and betrayed by Bu-
chanan, Breckinridge, &c. 1t is very
strange that all their trusted men betray
them. Pierce was a model President
when elected So said our Democrats.
But he "betrayed' the party, and was
superseded by Buchanan, that s'wise,
conservative, pure and immaculate DEM
ocratic Statesman" And with Breck-
inridge to aid him, our Democratic
friends thought they had secured boon
to their country. These great statesmen
called to the Cabinet, and other official
posts, the Casses, Blacks, Touceys, and
such like, the shining lights of the party.
Where are they now2 AL ''traitors, ~

Our Douglasites say they have been "be-
trayed' by all of these, their trusted
leaders. The strength of the party was
in the South. Democrats shouted them
selves hoarse over Democratic victo-
ries' in the South. Now they say these
Southern men over whose election they
went wild with joy, have ''betrayed'
them, and are all TRAITORS and disunion-
lists. % Is it not queer?
We have thirty three States, and con.

and quite gratifying to them to hear
you shout over their election. And the
squad you are now straining every nerve
to elect, must admire your easy gulla-

your services, judging you by your ac-

you have been operated upon so long
