Thus are happily dispelled all apprehensions
OF divided counsels and conflicting action in the
Fall canvass among those citizens of our State
who mean to stand by their Government TO the
utmost in the momentOus struggle, forced upon
it by Southern treason. For our own part,
holding with the most advanced Republicans,
and believing that the Union cannot be saVet
unless Slavery shall be Oyertbrown, We have no
desire to make our personal convictions the
test of political fellowship, but vote just as
readily and heartily for Democrat who stands
for putting the Rebellion square down as for
Republican. Let us first decide that We have
cOuntry-not a mere mass meeting or for
tuitous huddle Of human beings-and then We
can at leisure discuss and decide less imminent
questions. 1t would be absurd TO keep up q
quarrel about Slavery Extension after Slavery
shall have ceased to exist; and no one can say
to-day whether the issues of loG0 will have any
pertinence, any consequence, in 1863. Let US
trust to the Future TO suggest its own needs,
while We attend manially, thoroughly to the
duties OF to-day.

negro. hate, being based on Slavery is KEPT
within bounds; that of the North, being manly

they tell us that mercy to the penitent must

Union IN NEw-YORK.

Prior 10 our last State Election, when
Peace Meetings" were being held in seme
localities and threatened in others, the Repub.
Ican State Committee wisely and patrioticaly
invited union Of parties on the broad plat
form Of unhinchiDg support Of the Government
in its fearful struggle with red.handed Treason.
The Democratic State Committee saw fit to
repel this proHer-to reject it with contumely,
/ in terms scarcely less than abusiye-but the
Democratic masses were not truly represented
in this action. Candidates who were profered
nominations On the regular Democratic State
ticket declined them because of the unpatriotic
attitude assumed by the managers of their
party, and Mass State Convention assembled
at Syracuse simultaneously with that called on
a most liberal basis by the Republican State
Committee, and candidates for all the State
Offices falling vacant but one were agreed on
by the two Conventions. Those candidates
we're elected in November by larger majority
than was ever given for those of any party.
| One Hundred and Seuen Thousand Majority for
| the candidates whose names were borne on
! both the Republican and Union tickets, while
the only Office with regard to which those tick
cts differed was won by a Regency Democrat,
should have shown all but the willfuly blind
that an exclusive party ticket would not be
countenanced by the People, pending the over
shadoNiDg issue of life or death TO the Nation.

Nnghi, S1,OsL
Mr.. Wright actually received Ten Thousand
colleagues on the Democratic ticket, showing
that Democrats who were willing to support
Union candidates preferred TO stick to their
party where Republicans held of from a union
and insisted on sticking to party.
The Legislature chosen at this election was
Overwhelmingly opposed to the Dean-Richmond
Democracy, but the majority was made up in
nearly equal parts of Union Republicans,
Union Democrats. and Republicans who had
supported and been chosen upon Republican
party tickets. These Of course have differed
upon some of the questions which have arisen
during the session, and high hopes have been
entertained by the common adversary of
breakup during or at the close of the session.
Certain journals have talked very loudly of
boiling in case they failed to have their own
way, and The albany Argas has eagerly
'aught up every such utterance, and fabricated

seward with the Union movement, and their

i've reorganization of the Republican party.

and designed to respect it. There can be but
one reasonable ground Of objection to the oath
Of allegiance when properly exercised, and that
isa justification ofthe right of opposition to the
constituted authorities of the Government and
until this Is established the oath is not objection
able. There is. however, such thing as an abuse
OF power on the part Of those having authority,
and in that case we contend the sin of disgrace
is on the part of him who administers and not
him who takes the oath.
