WHO TELLS TlIELIEl

The poor, pcddling politicians who
have attempted to dispose of the vote of
New York by a,trick that would d : grace
thlmble.rigger on a race course, are al
ready quarrcling about the conditions of
the contract entered into at Syracuse.
BOBBY Brooks Of the New York Express,
a ferocious Know-Nothiug and one of
the high contracting parties, being ques
toned about the way in which the Bell
men on the electoral ticket would vote, if
elected, said in his journal that they
would vote for Bell and no one else, and
that they were nominated with that un-
derstanding That seems very explicit;
but when the paragraph in which this
assertion is made met the eyes Of Mr..
Ottendorfer, editor Of the New York
Stats Zsitusg, ADD one Of the electors
named ir the coalition, he replied:
At the Democratic State Convention
at Syracuse it was expressly understood,
and in the proceedings of the State Com
mite it was declared, that the electors
appointed by this Convention, in case of
their election, should, under all circum-
stances, cast their votes for Douglas and
johnson, and that the result of the Pres
idcntial canvass, either in this or any
other State, should in no wise influence
Cor change) this ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
therefore every vote given for this ticket
shall count wholly and entirely for Doug
las and johnson.
"Cn!or this supposition, and with
this unders landing, the elector Of the
Fifth District Was nominated under all
other circumstances he would have pre-
cmptorily declined the honor
But to slow that the Erpress does not
yield its point, and that others besides
the editor of the n. Y. !Staots Zeitung
have different understanding Of the
Syracuse dicker, We copy the following ::
From the n. Y. Express, Aug. 18th
Bell:
Now the Express has just as much
authority for saying that the twenty five
Douglas Electors on the State Union
ticket will vote for Bell and Everett, as
the Tribune has for saying that the ten
Bell and Everett Electors will vote for
Douglas. Every intelligent man knows
that neither statement would be true,
and they know also that the thirty. Eve
State Electors will vote as representatives
of their respective parties.
From the Rochester Union, Aug. II,
Douglas.
The electoral ticket embraces some
candidates selected from that large and
influential body of men known as Ma.
tional Union men or National Americans
This is an important step towards the re-
organization Of parties SO as to embrace
the great mass of the American people in
but TWO political organizations. instead
Of four or five. THE TICKET IS A
CLEAN DOUGLAS TICKET. ITS
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER is IN
NO SENSE CHANGED BY THE AID
MISSION OF THE NATIONAL UN.
ION ELECTORS; but from this time
forward THEY ARE OF US and form q
part of the great dominant party Of the
future.
Now the question is, who tells the lie,
or rather who has been cheated in this
bad transaction? That somebody is sold,
is plain. If Brooks is right, the German
has "put his foot in it," If Mr.. Often.
dorfer is correct, Brooks has disposed Of
his party cheap. Who has been diddled,
and how will the Bell men vote That's
one question, and the other, not like un-
to it, is, How long will bargain which
admits of such latitude Of Interpretation
be satisfactory to the rank and file Of the
parties that made it
