The Coming State Election-Its National
lmuOrtnnce.

the patriotic course Of President Lincoln, at
the coming State election, will remove every
vestige Of hope still lingering in the breasts of
Southern traitors that there is considerable
body Of sympathizers with their rebellion to be
found in the non-slavcholding States. If any
nation in the popular mind it is that, in the
midst Of the fearful struggle in which the coun-
try is engaged to suppress insurrection. every
effort is being made by miscreant politicians, in
our midst, to throw impediments in the way of
properly prosecuting the war. The basest and
most villanous conspiracy has been inagura-
ted, by the rotten, democratic leaders Of the
old barnburner faction, who gave an ascend
ency to abolitionism fifteen years ago, to roll
up the anti-administration ticket which was
nominated early last month at Syracuse, and
the open boast is made by Richmond, Caggcr
and their associates that they are being aided,
in their Ubiquitous Vaccinations, by dsaffected
republicans, who arc resolved either TO rule or
ruin, and will sacrifice every principle rather
than permit an endorsement of the energetic
and statesmanlike measures that have been
adopted within the last few weeks by Mr.. Lin
coin and his advisers
There is not the shadow Of doubt that the
Peoples ticket, headed by Daniel s. Dickinson,
and closing with the name of Frederick A.
Tallmadge, will be elected by majority of
close upon three hundred thousand votes in
November next The great principle Of ma
tional unity-so potent to unite the sympathies
and concentrate the strength Of an enlightened
and viltuous pcople-has been aroused in New
York with all its force. Patriotism, reverence
for the past, respect for established authority
and love for our beneficent institutions, all con
tribute to maintain it. TO impair the oneness
Of the republic, or to believe that its integrity
cannot DO restored, appears sacrilegc, from
which the sensitive mind Of every true hearted
citizen shudders and the odiousness Of the
word treason attaches to those who are striving
to rend the parts of the homogeneous whole
asunder. To it has been owing the spontaneous
outbnrst Of enthusiasm, within the last six
months, in favor Of vigorous and efficient
policy to re-cstablish the Union upon its pris-
tine basis at whatever cost OF life and treasure
that the eXigencics OF the case may demand.
The hundreds Of thousands Of brave soldiers
who are arrayed against rebellion on our
frontier, have been sent from their homes
by fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and
wives, TO perform a sacred and solemn duty,
and they will not shrink from its performance.
nor return to their fircsdcs until il has been nc
complished. What punishment can be devised,
however. severe enough to inhict upon those
who would fetter their hands, or obstruct their
progress in so holy cause.
Ever since the bombardment of Fort Sumter
rebel sympathizers. in the State of New York,
have been busly engaged in schemng how they
could best thwart the measures of the President
of the United States. and sately manifest TIE
sympathy they cherish towards firc-eating
rebels. For while. they confidently awaited
war. and encouraged open manifestations Of
hostility against the government. AS the con-
viction grew upon their minds, however. that,
with each succeeding week, the people were be-
coming more ardent, and more deeply interested.
in the movement that had begun they changed
their tactics, and adopted the Judas Iscariot pcli-
cy of protesting greater zeal than those who
had imperilled their very existence upon The
issue that had been created. Thus We see Conf
denoe Cassidy, in the dishonest Albany Atlas and
Aryns declaring that he and Peter Cagger, with
the paltry faction OF which they and Dean Rich

There never was ticket put forward by any
faction, for more unworthy purpose. than that
which is headed by Floyd Jones, and which is
pledged to opposition to the most necessary
United States. to crush out treason. With the
infamous ninth resolution blazoned upon its
banner, il appeals to the venality. proigacy

Gus elements TO magnify lis power. II will be

moderate and patriotic rebuke Of General FIRE.

to receive them all, to some other federal for

that treason is to be cut off root and branch, in
whatever shape it may present itself and the
fanatic endeavors of Richmond, Cagger and
their Tammany Hall afiiates to paralyze the
energies of the President. ought not to be al
lowed to continue single day.
