NEW YORK ALL RIGHT.

The result of the Convention at Syracuse,
yesterday, cannot but be in the highest de.
gree gratifying to the friends of the Union,
the opponents of Sectionalism, and all who
desire to stamp, deep and broad, the brand
of popular reprobation upon the pestilent
doctrines of the higher law, and an irrepres-
sible conflict between the free and slave
states of this confederacy. An electoral
ticket has been formed, composed of we'll
known citizens, men of sterling patriotism,
integrity, and worth and to that ticket
there is no reason to doubt the conservative,
Union-loving people of the Empire State
will accord an undivided and enthusiastic
support.
The result, in that event, cannot be con-
sidered matter of conjecture. If it does
not give the final death h-blow to sectional.
ism, in New York, it will at least compel
the Summers, the Stewards, the Lovejoys, the
Helpers, and the Giddingses, to take back
seats for another four years, and place IN
the White House, on the fourth day OF
March next, a statesman and patriot, who
knows "No NORTH, NO SOUTH, NO EAST, NO
WEST, NOTHING BUT HIS COUNTRY y We
have not doubt that there are thousands
of honest, sober-minded, conservative Re-
publicans who, affrighted now at the reiter-
ated ultraisms of Mr. Seward and his friends,
will help us to ring the Bell and as for the
Democrats, there being but really one great
question now at issue, in this campaign, the
question, namely, of the Union, or Disunion,
flor after all, that is the point,) there is
nothing to keep them back from coming
over, en- masse, in support of the Union, the
Constitution, and the enforcement OF the
laws Daylight is breaking and with
grand combination of the national elements,
not for men, but for principles in New
York, let our friends in other States rely
upon it, that Lincolnism is foredOomed to
defeat. That conviction should quicken
their patriotism, and stimulate them to re-
newed energy, so that when November
comes, it can be said, with as much truth
as ever, Gas goes New York, so goes the
Union"
ALABAMA ELECTION.
The disunionists have been sadly fogged
at the recent county elections in this State,
by union when it was necessary of the
Bell and Douglas men, but in most counties,
the Yanceyites polled the smallest vote of
the three parties. The New York Herald
says of these elections
They have had some little local elections in
Alabama, which, in ordinary times, would pass
unnOticed outside of the State, but which, at
this crisis, are as important as the first desul-
tory skirmishes to grand and decisive battle.

movement at Charleston, under Mr.. Yancey,

So it appears. Sand if this thing is done in
the green tree, what will not be done in the
dry?" Indeed, it would seem that this late Ken
lucky election speaks the sentiment of the
whole South, and it would not be surprising,
from all the signs of the times, if Bell and
Everett were to carry every Southern State.
including even South Carolina. This is the way
the people of the South are rising against the
disuni0nists of their section.
ARKANSAS ALL RIGHT.
1t now seems to be conclusively settled
that Rector Independent Douglas Demo
craft has been elected Governor of Arkansas
and that T. G. Hindman has been defeated
for Congress. 1t will be remembered that
Hindman headed the anti-Douglas delegation
to the National Convention.
A BRECKENRIDGE ELECTOR FOR DOUGLAS.
Mr.. Walter H. Payne, nominated on the
electoral ticket by the New York Breckin-
ridge Convention, has declined to serve.
He appears in card in the New Y York
Neays, in which he pronounces himself for
Stephen A. Douglas, as the only man who
can defeat Lincoln, and for the Douglas
platform, as one on which every true Demo-
crat can stand. He thinks it inconsistent
in Dickinson, and the other lizards" asso-
ciated with him, to fight now against the
very principles for which they contended in
1896. He says that in his own county

DOUGLAS TO GO TO GEORGIA.
At the recent Democratic Convention, in
Georgia, the following resolution was
adopted
RESOLVED, That this Convention, through its
President and Vice Presidents, invite the Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas, the candidate of the Ma.
tiOnal Democracy for the Presidency, to visit
this State at his convenience to exchange
courtesies with his friends, and remove the
prejudices of his enemies.
THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ROUT IN ALABA-
MA SIGNAL AND COMPLETE!
The rout OF the Breckenridge Disunionists
in Alabama has been nearly as overwhelm-
ing as it was in Kentucky and Missouri.
If there was any State in the Union that
the Boilers felt perfectly certain of carrying,
it was Alabama. The news of their defeat
there will fall upon them with crushing
force! Yancey has been beaten in his own
county and in his own Congressional Dis
trict! The Montgomery (Alabama) Con.
federation, in giving the election returns,
says:
When the news began to come in last Tues
day of their defeat in the several counties of
this district, not one could scarcely be seen on
the street. Even in Montgomery, the home of
their gallant and much beloved Yancey." had
the cause of Breckenridge been doomed.
Even in Chambers, the home of their sworthv
ally" and 'their own beloved Dowdell." had
