TIE CAMPAIGN ~ NEW YORK.
Notwithstanding the cloud that hangs
over the whole country, in consequence
OF tho long continued and universally
extending commercial depression, the
friends OF honest government are i'll
this State considerably elatcd ut tho
speedy change which every token indi-
Gates. The positions OF the respective
political parties MO 80 different that
they may DO looked upon rs oppositcs.
Tho Democrats with chcerfulncss, in
compact solid phalanx, present their
faces to tho foe, like men who feel
within them that Unborn strength that
shnll bring to them success. The Re-
publicans sec failure as their doom. anu
traverse tho city rs men who have re.
linquishel hope. Tho Democrats,
sinking I'LL their minor differences, have
enrolled themselves under their skillful
generals. and with them will march TO
victory. Tho Republicans have no
leaders left. Those who did formerly
assume direction have now their per-
sonal affairs to attend to. The party is
split up into contending factions, and
for active service In tho great battle
that is about TO be fought are totally un-
prepared.
The statement that thoro arc dissen-
sions among tho Democrats, that Gov
ernor Tilden and Hendricks arc not III
accord respecting the policy of the
party, arc simply tho unfounded asser-
tions Of opponents, who, tiuding moth
ing reh ut whIuh. to cnrp, test the
strength of their imagination and their
hearers or their renders crcduliiy.
Upon every essential question our can
didntGs arc perfectly agreed, and the
party Is unit Il is fully understood
that the. great issue is between honesty
and dishonesty, purity OF administration
und roguery in Office, government for
the people. aud personal prerogatire.
In their determination to uproot tho
evil that has usurped the sent of au-
hority, and to place therein tho legiti-
nato occupant, tho two Governors anil
tho whole party arc of one mind. And
many others, who have never yet acted
with tho party, Hro Of the same mind.
As timo passes, tho falsity Of Rcpubli-
cnn promises and tho various tendency
of their platform, i'll contradistinction
with the manly and straightforward ut
tcrnnces of tho Democrats, and the
record Of their candidates, become more
fully established, and. rs q consequence,
VIC have tho pleasure of announcing
daily accessions to our ranks.
Ono thing which is greatly exercising
tho Republicans, aud daily threatening
an irreparHble split among them even
wider than has yet bccn made, is the
candidacy for the Goyernorship. Soma
tor Conkling is determined that his
friend Cornell shall bo tho recipient Of
tho nomination. Cornell earned The
gratitude Of Conkling by writing tho
letter which announced the alleged an
swer of the StGto TO tho impudent as.
aertions OF the Union League Club.
But by the same means he Incurred the
displeasuro Of the club, which cuntaims
somo Of tho most influential members of
tho party, whose friends outside ore ar
rayed with them against him. II is as
sorted that tho Senator has uncuuiyo.

tho canvass for the nomination, but, on
tho contrary, intends to pros The mat
