Ever since, the smash up OF the democratic
party at Charleston and Baltimore, we have
had q general bedla.7 confusion amongst the
cliquee and political factions Of this city with
every appearance Of the city being represented
at Washington and Albany by set OF men
totally unqualified for those important posi-
tions During the last three or four weeks the
squabbles of the flag ends of the numerous frag
ments have been going on in our midst, and the
conventions that have assembled and nominated
their candidates have put forward representa-
tives of at least half dozen factions. Among
those nominated for the State Assembly are
several members of the last Legislature who
were found voting with the piratical crew Of
that body; and among the list of Congressional
candidates are some Of the ex.Aldermen who
have brought disgrace upon the city by their
action at the City Hall, and several other worth
less philosophers who have no idea of the duties
of member of Congress.
There is, however, a CLEAN OF hope that
a better order of things is about to take
place, and that the political vagabonds who have
had everything their own way so long will be
driven back to their hiding places, from which
they should have never emerged. The forma-
ton of Union electoral ticket is working like
magic upon these barroom combinations, and
is destroying the feuds which have given the
pothouse politicians their food aud stock in
trade. The great outpouring of the masses at
the Union ratification meeting Monday night is
one of the significant features of this new order
of things. That assemblage in and around the
Cooper Institute, is the triumph of the indie
pendent press and public opinion over the
all grades and importance, and is an emphatic
warning to all such small fry politicians as John
A. Green, Gid. Tucker and Jim Brady, who are
trying to elect Lincoln, that they must stand
from under, or they will be crushed by the
onward march of this mighty conservative
army.
There is now no installing the signs Of the
times. that whatever other States may do
there is a fair prospect of a triumph Of the
Union forces in the Empire State over the sec
tional republican party and their new
allies-Green, Tucker and Brady; not
however, victory of the Regency faction,
the Tammany faction. the Mozart faction,
the Douglas faction or the Bell faction, but
triumph Of new Union party that has sprung
up, as If by magic, from the ruins left by the
crazy politicians at Charleston and Baltimore
party that owes its origin to the indignation
in the public mind toward the action of the sell
fab and interruptions politicians that have 50
long had the control of the parties of the day.
This same feeling, so thoroughly aroused upon
the Presidential question, is being extended to
our local affairs, and there are already symp-
toms that the wrangles of the petty, trading ward
cabals will be forced to give way to the pres
sure, and a better class of men be brought
coming election.
Now that the Union electoral ticket has been
completed and emphatcally endorsed by the
people, let some attention he paid to the JUDI
cial, county, Legislative and Congressional
tickets, which are Of vital importance to the
city. Let the buying and selling coalitions, and
the worthless philosophers placed In nom
ination by them, be cleared away as so
much rubbish, and let there be a concert
ed action Of all Union loving men upon
such men for Congressman as Hon. John Coch-
rane, that delegation may be sent to Washing
ton from this city that will have some voice in
the halls of Congress. Let there be such an
arrangement in regard to the Assembly candi
dates that none Of those engaged in the bucca-
neering operaions OF last session will ind their
way back to Albany. Every movement that
has for its objects the defeat and overthrow of
the numerous trading and mercenary political
factions that have 90 long di.graced the city,
and the selection Of worthy and upright men to
fll the several city and county Offices, and to
represent the city at Albany and Washington
will receive our hearty co-oGFation.
