pRoGREss OF FUSION.

by outside pressure anu inrPuou " '"o '"
patriotism which CLOVIS in their own bosoms, the
r.. &. g. T. Committee have healed their differ
epces. have taken the business Of Fusion out OF
the hands of a Sub Committee which they had
appointed. and in full conclave have resolved upon
their future course.
At the meeting on Thursday, the following
gentlemen we're present: Samuel f. Butterworth,
Wilson G. Hunt, Daniel f. Tiemann, Andrew
Mount, Henry Grinnel, Daniel Devlin, Edwin
Croswell, Charles A. Secor, Samuel j. Tilden,
Peter B. Sweeny, James Monroe, Joshua j.
Henry, S. l.. NJ Barlow, and Jehial Reed.
Mr.. O'Conor, the only absentee, sent letter
stating that he was with them in spirit. After
an interchange of opinion, they delegated full
power to a Sub. Committee Of five, of which
Mr.. Butterworth was Chairman, Mr. CroSswell
a member, and Mr.. J. j. Henry not member.
The omission of Mr. Henry from this Sub-Com-
mttee lie supposed 10 have reference to his appoint
ment on the Electoral Ticket, though we can hardly
see any reason why Mr.. j. j. Henry, who was so
free from false modesty as TO place the name OF
Mr. J. j. Henry on the Committee, should have
any scruples at being one of Subcommittee to
put Mr.. J. j. Henry on the Electoral Ticket. This
Sub Committee telegraphed to Mr. Cagger to come
down and fuse with them, and yesterday they met
in the Assay Office to be fused under the imme-
date eye of Mr. Superintendent Butterworth.
But 10 Richmond came, and 10 Cagger, nor q
word of recognition from either Of those great
men, and the whole business seemed destined to
prove ridiculous abortion.
Meanwhile the outside pressure became so &C.
we're, the great house of H. S. & L. submitting to
a regular siege, that at length the whole Commit
tee came together again, and began de moro, as we
have stated above. We are happy to be able to
give the public accurate information of the result
of their delibeI ations. 1t was first determined
that the entire Committee should send to AL.
bany for Mr.. Peter Csgger and accordingly,
yielding to the sweet influence of the summons,
that gentleman is to be in town this morning if
nothing happens and if the boat does mt get stuck
on the Oyerslaugh.
Three propositions are to be submitted in success.
sion to Mr. Csgger; that is, if he will not take
No ], No. is to be tried and so on. These propO-
sitiOns are in form and substance about as follows:
l. Mr.. Brady to withdraw as candidate for Gov
ernor and his name to be placed on the Fusion
ticket as ElectOr at Large, with the names Of ten
other Breckenridge men on the same ticket as
Electors.
2. In case this is not assented TO, and the diff
Guilty shall arise on the proposition in regard to
Mr. Brady, to withdraw his name, and propose
that the ten Electors alone shall be granted.
3. Should this not be granted, then to propose
the original proposition of Mr.. Cagger, that six
Breckenridge men only shall be placed upon the
Fusion ticket.
1t is the intention Of the Committee to present
this sliding scale to Mr.. Cagger, in succession,
without scQuanting him with the fact that second
proposition is yet to come after the fret, or third
after the second. Philanthropists as we are, it
gives us great pleasure to simplify matters, and
thus save both parties much useless expenditure Of
time AMI talents that might be devoted to nObler
purpose.
Should Mr.. Cagger, however, decline to accept
either of the pleasant propositions of this sliding
scale his acquiescence is to be urged on thegrOund
that the acceptance of either OF them will be ac-
companied with large bonus in ready money, the
Committee urging the argument that as money car
red the election in Pennsylvania in 1856, SO money
only more of Unjust do the work in NeE-YOrk
in 1860. The Committee furthermore are ready to
give Mr.. Cagger positive assurance that ONE MIL
LION Of dollars will be raised in this city. The
Committee will present the names of four
~. =.
give twenty-five thousand dollars each stem parties
who are pledged to give ten thousand dollars each;
and large number who may be relied upon to give
sums varying from one thousand to FIVE thousand
each. This large sum is to be devoted to the pur-
chase Of influential men, particularly among the
Germans, in whom an inordinate love of money,
the Committee assert, makes them an easy prey.
The leading men among them, it is thought will
be unable to resist the temptation of the heavy
brides which the Committee can afford to pay out
of fund of a million of dollars
If Mr.. Cagger shall yield to the Seductions of
these rich promises and Aattering prospects, the
next point in the programme is to destroy the Breck
nridge ticket That it will not be withdrawn
is plain. Therefore it is to be destroyed, and to
effect this it is understood in the Committee that
six men upon that ticket stand ready, for consii
GRAFTON, to withdraw their names. This will leave
but one ticket in the field against the Republicans.
Candor however, requires us to add that the Com
mittee have not succeeded in obtaining an inter-
view with Mr.. Brady, and are proceeding entirely
on the Confidence principle, in presumiug that he
will accede to their wishes and withdraw to oblige
them.
This is the basis Of the plan to be discussed be-
tween the Union Committee and Mr.. Cagger
