THE GREAT CONSERVATIVE PATTY.
An alliance seems recently to have
been effectual to this end between GER
tain elements heretofore hostile. The
Bader State Io'i,iticians are the
remnant of the old Whig and Know
Nothing parties, who, al! their lives
cherished and intenIe hatred Of the
Democracy. They now unite with that
party to effect this object. The Re-
publicans of the Albany school, under
tho sagacieus leadership Of Mr.. Weed,
who, for long years fought the Van
Buren regency, and finally broke it
down though the agency of free soil,
are also hand in glove with their old
opponents. Thus tho army Of the De.
mocracy takes the next great political
battle supported on the left by the fol-
lowers of Clay and Crittenden, and on
the right by the spccirl friends IF Will,
lam II. Seward. Such host may well
feel confident. 1t is a combination tor
victory. The elements have been we'll
shaped Not in vain have the border
State politicians thronged the hall of
the Presidential Mansion.-Not in vain
has the discreet Secretary Of State in.
Cured the reputation Of having become
imbecile. Not in vain has the whole
Administration suffered the odium of
drifting viii the tide for lack of pol
icy. They could well afford to dispense
with the applause of the radicals, while
they silently directed that nnder cur
rent which was to refer the gigantic
question, with which they would not
granple to the decision of another
Presidential election.
THE ARMY CONSERVATIVE.
Without reference to the result of tho
war, I consider the chances Of the con
servatites in the election far superior to
that of the administration. Great reli-
aace is placed by the latter on the vote
of soldiers; but in my opinion, this is de-
lusive. They will be affected in like
manner with the rest of the people. and,
moreover, viii be tired of military scrv
ice and anxious to return omc.-They
will be dissatisfied from a Thousand
causes and desire change, The suffer
ing and Indignation vet to be engenacr-
ed by the unlimited issue Of an ire
deemahle paper currency, will Of itself
overwhelm the administration party.
and sink it deeper than plummet ever
s,uuded But the Democrats, in my
judgment, safely calculate that thcv can
take issue on any one Of hundred
necessary incidents Of the war, and
defeat their opponents bya large ma
jori'y.
THE PROCLAMATION A FAILURE.
Many suppose that tie eff ct # the
wroclamation Of emancipation will be to
80 thoroughly: speedily and completely
annihilate and ext;rpate slavery, that
the shareholders will have no longer a
motive to act tosather. This is an
egregious mistake. The proclamation
will have no such effect. Its constitu.
tionality is 6enied. 1t is still unexecu.
ted, and its vali'lity undetermi ned
The whole subject is yet open to debate
and fiaal settlement. The Juditial De.
partment is to render its decision upon
it; and, in the mean time, it is to lie
the controlling issue in popular cleo
ton for President. This state of things
will undoubtedly inspire the shareholders
with more rcsolute purpose than
ever. Their effort will not, as hereto
fore, he to prevent the Abolitonists
from freeing their slaves, as a distant
andspeculative proposition,but to sescue
him from the graspof the enemy already
actually laid upon him. 1t will redoublc
their will and bring out every latent
energy.
