OLE STATE ELECTION.

The People of the State of New-York have re-
solved to try for once the experiment of electing
State Officers and Legislators in utter indepen-
dence of party trammels To this end, they have
framed State Ticket composed in good part of
eminent citizens hitherto holding the most diverse
political opinions. There has been no attempt
| to disarm or soften prejudice by selecting for
| nominees men who have heretofore expressed no
decided opinions on the exciting topics which
have from time to time engrOssed the public
mind, but Wings Democrats, Free-SOilers,
Hunkers, Barnburners Of the most uncOmpro-
missing stamp, closely follow each other, and
will be voted for with equal heartiness and reso-
luton. The masses are convinced that the old
party issues have no pertinence, the old party
watchwords no charm in view of the terrible
ordeal to which the Republic is now sub
jected. What matters it that o citizen was
last year Republcan or Democrat :
Who cares whether he supported Douglas or
Breckenridge, Lincoln or Bell The only im-
pOrtant practical question is" Does he now
" stand unqualifedy by the Union against armed
" and menacing rebellion Does he insist that
" the Government shall be upheld, and the re-
"bellion be put down Is he in favor Of OK.
spending the last dollar, the last cartridge in
" defending the Union and the Constitution 2"
If he is, nobody cares for whom he voted last
year, nor with what party he may act next
year. in case there should then be room for
parties. If he goes heart and soul for putting
down the rebellion and unfolding the just au-
thOrity Of the Government, he is sound on the
only question in which the people feel any decided
interest. If be be honest, capable, and thorough

The Peoples Union movement has this day the
hearty support of twothirds Of our citizens.
It's State Ticket will be elected by over One
Hundred Thousand majority, unless it be loaded
down by unpopular legislative and local nomina
tons. Here is the only danger; aud it cannot
be foo yigilanty watched nor too strenuously
resisted
Every new and popular movement in polite,
naturally attracts to its support the Debris Of all
wrecked and faded party organizations. 1t is
pool of Bethesda, into which all the politically
halt and MANNED, the palsied and the crippled
hasten TO plunge, in the hope of being healed of
their infrmites. That those should attach them
selves to such a movement is inevitable; that
they should control and manage it for their OWN

1" Slavery aud by nothing eise." 1t follows from
this, then, that the most certain way of prevent
ing the Africanization of the South is to emanci.
pate the slaves. Beyond oil question, the negro
will not multiply SO rapidly in freedom as in
slavery. And at the same time the fact that he
increases faster in bondage than out of it is no
more q reason for keeping him in that condition
than the parallel fact that the white man multi
plies more rapidly in poverty than in opulence
would be reason for making all white men
paupers.
1t is not however, to the slow operation OF
the laws of population that we must look a. the
only possible remedy for whatever inconvenience
might result from emancipation. Dir. weston
shows by striking array of facts and figures
that the colonization of the slaves either IN
Africa, in the West Indies, or in some part Of
our own continent, is not only practicable, but
comparatively easy, if set about with yigor ana
determination. The voluntary emigration, with
little or no Government assistance, from the
British Islands in the ten years ending IN $780,
amounted to $500, 900 persons. And THESE emf
grants went not merely across the Atlantic, but
many of them to the remotest regions OF the
earth-to South Africa. NewZealand, and Aus
traia. A proportionate emigration from this
country in the next ten years, on precisely the
same scale as that from Great Britain, would
rid us entirely of our slave population, and
might be carried out, with our immense maritime
resources at much less expense and trouble
than the exodus which has peOpled the sntipOde'
with the English race.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The great news of the day is that we print
from Missouri, which, though not so full as de-
sirable, and clearly somewhat exaggerated, is
yet of the most invigOrating nature. Ii seems
that on Monday last Gen. Price approached our ill.,
trenchments at Lexington to give battle DESTROYS
of achieving an easy victory, he sent to Col. Multi
gan formal summons to surrender, but received
o defiance cOuched in terms more forcibe than
elegant. An attack in force wal Immediately
made on our intrenchments, the advance of the
rebel infantry being covered by terrible fire of
artillery from convenient nights in the vicinity.
But all TO no purpose, for our men drove the
Rebels back with great loss, and sustained every
assault throughout the day with desperate valOr.
Night put an end to the strife, but with the next
day tie attack was renewed, and the Rebels
manifested disposition to hold their
ground, and reduce the place by
Commandment. ReenfOrcements were, how.
ever, cOnTerging from the northwest, south-
west, and eastward, for Col. MuIligan and 10
all probability our next adyices Will report tie
dispersion, if not the total rOut, of Prices army.
The accounts Of the casualties in this battle are
probably exaggerated, but the number of killed
and wounded must be large. II is stated that
4, 900 of the rebels and 500 OF our troops were
lost. Lexington is sn important poiut for the
rebels 10 Obtain, and every effort will be made

KENTUCKY,

Neutrality between the Republic and itsrebe enc
mics has been thoroughly "played out in Ken
lucky. Every sticker for il has by this time be-
trayed his thorough sympathy with the rebellion;
and at last the fact that the Rev. Gen. Polk had
invaded Kentucky on tho west and taken mill
tary possession, in behalf of jeff. Davis Of seye-
raj important positions, while onother force OF
Tennessee Rebels had taken similar possession OF
important positions ia the Cumberland and other
mountains on the SOuth.East, has aroused the
masses to consciousness Of their perlOus and
shameful predcament Kentucky has but this
choice--to resume her place in the Union and
oppose a front of steel TO its enemies; or to fall
a prey to those enemies, who would soon despol
and devastate her as they have already rayaged
Virginia and Missouri. Thus challenged large
majority of the Kentuckians declare for the
Union. and unlike the Unionists Of other Slave
States) eyince a disposition to fight for it.
1.-The dark and bloody ground" bids fair to re-
ceive new baptism of human gore. Tennessee
has half her able-bodied males to-day enrolled
in tho rebel armies, and it is probable that an
effort will be made TO crush Kentucky in the
folds of tho rebel anaconda before she can put
forth her strength in sef-defen.e. She will not
fall. however, without desperate struggle; and
