DISBURSEMENT OF TIE NEW YORK

New YORK. October q. 1850.

NEW YORK, October 81, 1850.
Our over-abundant Democratic fellow
citizens on this island do not, as you may
imagine, like the present political outlook
in the East, and their fussy attempt to
make believe that they are pleased with it
is very entertaining to the Republicans,
who, fear, very wickedly enjoy their I'M
easiness and discomfort. The Irish and
Irish-American loafers and ruffians who
hang about the City Hall, and who usually
have an insolent air and brutal manners,
have caught some of the detection of their
masters, and are, for the nonce, al
most decent in their behavior. They
know not how to dissemble, as do their
superiors in intelligence if not in principle.
They have, with all their stupidity, feel
ing that they are beaten, and their Tam.

even themselves. While they have felt

it is Indiana in particular that has de-
stroyed their eager hopes. They were
so absolutely sure of it that they
were constantly saying: "The Octo-
Der election in Indiana will settle
the question of the next Presidency. Ii
we win there in October, we shall win
throughout the country in November. If
the Republicans elect Porter, they can
elect Garfield" They would not, of course,

not been perfectly confident of Indiana.

purchasers and wire pullers, out all to no
purpose. The Indianians now assert that
they could have managed matters better
had they been let alone; that too many
Democratic cooks spoiled the October
broth that they did not want any out
side interference. They are so bitterly
disappointed, SO extremely angry, that
they are resolved to find somebody TO put
the blame upon. The managers here are
similarly affected. They are privately ac-
cusing one another of laundering; and
their ordinations and determinations are
said to be endless. John Kelly is charged
with defeating Tilden at the Cincinnati
Convention, when Tllden was, it is as
serted, the only man to nominate, the only
man who could be elected. Despite the
outward harmony OF the party in the city,
it is full of inner dissensions, as the ID OF
November will be likely to show.
THE APPREHENSION OF THE DEMOCRATS
Is disclosed by their averment that the
Republicans are colonizing" here. The
idea of the Republicans doing anything of
that sort in this hotbed and stronghold OF
the corrupt Democracy, in the city where
organized frauds have been part of the
Democratic machinery for years The
Tammanyites have been and are still
frightened at the large registration in the
Republican districts, and virtuous John
Kelly has been crying out against Radi-
cal craft and cozening. Most righteous
John is soreiy distressed. He seems to be
bewildered by the foreshadowing of disas-
ter. He is no longer plausible. Only
day or two since his newspaper, the E0eR-
ing Express, accounted for the rout in
Indiana by the horde of Republican ballot
suffers and shoulder hitters brought over
from Kentucky. Kentucky may have any
number of gentry OF that order, but they,
as the whole world knows, are certainly
not Republicans. The Erpress will next
charge the venerable Bank Presidents and
philanthropists of the Nineteenth Ward
with forming an armed conspiracy to in
timidate at the polls the host Of gentle and
conscientious repeaters of the Fourth and
Sixth Ward. Although the election OF
Garfield is now generally conceded by I'M
biased persons, the Republicans will not
relax any effort in this city or State. They
are working like beavers, and will work
up to the hour of closing the polls on the
ID ult. The widespread opinion that

doubt that New York State will give from

November; and there are those who con-
tidently predict that it will reach 40, coo.

THE LATEST AMERICAN PLAY.
You have probably observed that John
Habberton's +" Deacon Crankett, produced
at Union Square Theater, has been severe
ly, and, may add, very uniustiy handled
by the newspaper critics. The fact that
he is a brother journalistic is now on
the staff OF the Herald-may be one
reason why they have abused it
so unsparinely; for it seems to be
the rule that every newspaper scribe here
considers every other member of the pro-
fession as his natural enemy. Deacon
Crankett is really good and effective
