New York at the Coming Election.
If anything should excite the indignation of
loyal citizens, at the present time, it is that, in
the very midst Of the great struggle in which
the country is engaged to suppress rebellion,
every effort is being made by secession sympa-
thzers, in the North, to embarrass the President,
and throw impediments in the way of success
fully prosecuting the war None Of these have.
been baser and more perfdous than the putting
forward. by the rotten, democratic leaders of
the old barnburner faction, who gave an ascen-
dency to abolitionism fifteen years ago, of an
antiadmnstration State ticket, pledged to de-
nunciation of the wisest and most essential
steps that have been taken by our energetic and
statesmanlike Chief Magistrate, in order to sow
the seeds OF discomfort and insurrection through
out the rural districts The disreputable organs
of the ex-barnburners, at the head of which
stands the sheet edited by Confidence Cassidy,
pour forth daily diatribes against the great
peoples party, rcvile its candidates, and are
even guilty of the audacity of declaring, that
the patry faction of which Dean Richmond and
Peter Cagger are the avowed wirepulers, is
"alone capable of carrying on successful war;
or securing an honorable peace"
Under the tutelage of an aristocracy, in Great
Britain jealous of the success of American
institutions, the Garrisons, Tappars, Greeleys,
Raymonds, Cheevers, Wendell Phillipses, and
Gerrit Smiths of the North. established and per-
petuated the'school of politics which has had
for its motto for a quarter of a century, that
the constitution of the United States is ''league
with hell and covenant with death" To them,
and to their unceasing intrigues, it has been
owing that the slaveholding States have been
gOaded into rebellion; but anti-savery fanati-
csm never would have achieved its diabolical
triumph. had it not been for the aid which it
received, subsequently to the Mexican war,
from the Van Buren, barnburners Of that day.
A viler, more corrupt and debased school of
disorganizers and mischiefmakers, was never
sprung upon the republic than that which went
forth from the Buffalo Convention, to prevent
conservative victory in 1s4S. AT the head of
the clique which betrayed the true interest of
the nation at that time, stood the very men who
are engaged in the work of frustrating the well
laid schemes of President Lincoln now, for the
restoration of the integrity of the United States
There never was ticket put forward by any
faction, for more unworthy purpose, than that
which was nominated, at Syracuse, few weeks
since, by the anti-national, barnburner Regency.
Its sole object is to enable band of venal
demagogues to boast, after peace shall have
evolved out of our present discord, that they
have always sympathized with secession, and to
claim practical gratitude from the South for
their reasonable Vaccinations. Everywhere
they are creating discussions and distrust.
They are causing the recruiting offices in the
villages and interior towns of New York to be
forsaken, and are preventing, by every manner
of false representation, fresh levying of troops
They are playing into the hands of the Garrison
and Greeley ultraists, who have raised their
veices against the President, for not having
sanctioned the Illegal proclamation of General
Fremont, and are fomenting quarrels among
local factions, in order to shackle the free de-
velopement of the great uprising of patriotism
which is being witnessed in the North II is
