Promiscuous Political News-Items.

NeaD YOTE-ln view or the proposed
union of the elements of opposition in
New York to the Black Republicans of
the State, the position of the American
party deserves some notice. More.
particularly is their action important,
as they exercise some influence, and
their position has been doubtful since
the adhesion of Scroggs, the President
of their State Council, and of Ullman,
once their favorite leader, to the for
tunes of Lincoln.
The State Council was called to-
gether Wednesday of last week at
Schenectady, by President Scroggs, in
the hope that his detection might be
followed by that of large portion Of
the party.
It seems he calculated without his
host. After a few preliminary move
ments, the Council called for General
Prescott, the Vice President, to take
the chair, when Scroggs and his friends
withdrew for consultation. The leading
Americans, with full representation
from 16S councils, passed resolutions
unanimously endorsing the action of
the committee of .thirty-two' which
selected the Douglas and Bell electoral
ticket, and after enthusiastic speeches
from various members, the Council
adjourned with cheers for Bell and
Everett.
Meanwhile, Scroggs, with his few
coadjutors, passed resolutions denounc-
ing the Union electoral ticket, and
graciously giving permission to every
American to vote as he pleased. 1t
is said 100000 Americans remain firm
to the Union principles.

monster meeting such as have been

States.

State has become so warm that the
argument of force is resorted to in
many of their meetings. Says the
Louisville journal:
A terrible fight occurred at Newburg,
Indiana, on Friday night last, between

slavery Democrats. Pistols. clubs,
and bricks were used, batnobody was
seriously injured. -. - 8
