GREAT NEWS FROM ALBANYH

The AntI-LincOIn Union Contaminated
The Coopsr Institute Electoral Ticket Formally Adopted
by the Douglas State COnanEittee
From the New York journal of Commerce, Oct 4.
We have the great pleasure Of announcing to our
renders the contamination of the union or eo-ope-
ration so long desired and earnestly labored for
by patriotic citizens OF different shades OF poucS
in this State opposed to the election Of sectional
President The Electoral Ticket designated by the
Committee of Fifteen, appointed for the purpose by
the great Coopers Institute meeting has been form
ala ddOpted bV the Douglas State COMMITTEE whereof
Dean Richmond is Chairman, with the single aria
ton that instead of Henry S. Randall Eector at
Large in place of Hon. Reuben II. WalwOrth nomi-
mated by the Douglas State Convention, the Hon.
Green c. Bronson, has been substituted, with the
consent and approval of the Committee of Fifteen
represented by Samuel F. Butterworth as a Sub
Committee This modification was found to be ne
cessary chiefly for the reason that 1t was under
stood that Mr. Randall the original nominee of the
Committee of Fifteen, who had been previously
nominated by the Breckenridge State Convention,
was not prepared to accept the present nonlnatlen
if made Judge Bronson is a Breckenridge man.
1t is much to be regretted that the Electoral Tick
ct so happily contaminated and approved by the
Committee Of Fifteen, by the Douglas State Commit
tee the Mozart Hall Democracy, the Tammany Hall
Democracy, the Union or BeIl-Everett national
men, the Breckenridge Democratic Volunteer ASso-
citation, and by the Breckenridge rank and file
throughout the State with but few exceptions, could
not have had the approval of the Breckenridge
State Committee whereof John A Greene Jr., Is
| Chairman. This would have made the cooperation
perfect and would have almost ensured the defeat
of Lincoln in this State which Is equivalent to his
! defeat in the nation at large.
But even without such approval, there Is the
greatest announcement for the AntiLincOln forces
| to give long pull, strong pull, and pull alto
gether in the confident hope of dealing death blow
to Sectionalism and the Irrepressible Conflict And
! who knows but the Breckenridge State Committee,
notwithstanding the known opposition of its Chair
| man and some few of its members. may yet, as a
! Committee endorse the Anti-Lincoln Ticket? We
do not despair of such result, though we are not
acquainted with the particular views OF all It's mem
bers Some of them we are confident VIII be ready
as individuals, to give it their approval But now
ever this NAV be, the ticket must be put through
inst AZ it now stands. We mean it must be elected
1t can be- and as Gen. jackson would say, 1t shall
! be. Almost the entire Anti-Lincoln press of the
State of all shades will support 1t heart and hand
The anti-LincOn merchants whl support 1t to man
The Anti Lincoln masses will do the same. And II
must succeed.
But this is not all the good news. Besides the
Union Electoral ticket the Douglas State ticket has
been so modified by the Douglas State Committee,
| that Breckenridge men can honorably vote Tor II:
| Said Committee, in accordance with the views OF
the Committee Of Fifteen, have substituted Col.
Grain of Herxmer Breckenridge man. for Lieut..
Governor in place Of Mr.. Allen of Oswego, the
Douglas nominee. who has declined.
Thus the vast maOrity-aimOst al-Of the Anti
Lincoln forces in the State are brought into unit
ed phalanx both on the Electoral and State tickets,
in opposition to the sectional candidates.
1t is not believed that Mr. Greene and his adheT-
ents can divert any considerable number OF voters
from the Union Ticket Every man who votes for
any other Electoral ticket. under existing circum-
stances, will Eaolo that directly or indirectly he Is
promoting the election of Lincoln: and that it IS
what no true Breckenridge man viii be willing to
