New York politics, just now, are, by all odds. the most interesting political puzzle of the day. In Maine the democracy are in a snarl; in Mas- sachurctia they are halting between a perma- nent free soil coalition and @ split; in Missouri the harda and softs are waging the fierce old war of the roses; fn Georgia. it is hard work to make the democratic unionists and secessionists stick together; but in New York, both the old parties appear to be inexplicably and hopeless- ly disorganized, while the tree soilers, par ex- cellence, like hungry Cossacks, are hanging upon their flanks and rear, ready to cut in and cut out upon either side, without a ‘moment's warning. In fact, the two old parties being both divided. we have now two whig parties, or factions, and two democratic parties to look after, in addi- tion to the regular standing dish of the Buffalo platform and ite free soil abolition party, so that we have an aggregate in New York of five par- ties on the turf, to contest it for the State ticket and the Legislature in the November election. The “free democracy” lead off in their State Con- vention at Syracure, on the 31st instant. The de- mocrats including both factions—free soil and compromise—meet in a common assemblage at Syracuse on the 13th of Septemher; and the Whig State Committee, in behalf of both fac- tions of the old whig party. have asread +a poB eters eesese ¢ plan, the elements, and the iseue of the election, will therefore be decided apon between these three several con- ventions at Syracuse. The “free democracy” will, doubtless, nomi- nate a State ticket, not with any prospect of electing it. but with the view of keeping up the discipline of their independeat of ganization for future contingencies, At the late Presi- éentiul election, John P. Hale carried off some twenty-five thousand votes, and the whigs sufered heavily by this diversion—the demo- crats of the Buffalo stripe having gone over, almoet in solid body, for Pierce and King. All other things being equal. therefore, it might be safely assumed that the whigs would suffer Correspondingly from the independent free soil ticket in the ensuing election. But all other thinge are not equal—not by a long shot; and hence the interest, the animosity, and the mystery, connected with the present singular and amusing condition of New York politics. The free damocracy, at all events. leads of at Syracuse, on Wednesday next; and we fully expect them to launch forth a bona fide free soil State ticket, to test their strength in No- vember. The subsequent movements of the discordant whigs and democrats will do much to determine the charscter and extent of the free soil vote. The “reunited” demoeracy meet in conven- tion at Syracuse. on the 13th September. us aforceaid. Will they harmonise? Doubtfal— exceedingly. How they can harmonise we can'timagine, The epoila have beem divided — the Van Bures Buffalo faction have carried off the lion’s share—the hunkers, poor ®!lowa, are disappointed. No donbt of that; and an old politician expecting office, depending wpon of fice, and feiling to get office, ie « hard eustomer to reconcile upon political abstractions. There is an outcry of rebellion —there are movements on foct for revenge. The Albany Argus is mustariag up one eet of delegates of the huaker | stripe, and the At/as ie the champion of a4- ministration eoft shell delegates, approving what has beon done in the divizion of the spoils, because they like it, umd deprecating Gisafiection, because they have not only lost uo thing, bat have got a great deal more than they expected. True, they hate the fugitive slave law: bat they will stick ina general way to the Balti- more platform till it thunders, swear by the in augurel in the abstract, till sundown; and hang sa high as Bamanall traitore who ques- tion the witdom of the President and bis cali- uet in dispensing the public plunder. The At Jas iv the organ Of this iuction—the controlling faction. we apprehend, of the New York demo- cracy, if we wey judge of certain late move- mente in Tammany Hall emd the coal hole. But the Argus fuctiou, thongh they may not have a full ect of delegutes at Albany, will have enough there to “stir up a sbindy.” if they are pot frightened off too soon. From the affec tionate barmony between the rgus and the Atlee, we may count upon ® “serimmage” and and we have our fears that th id have too far to be reconciled either by the la brieations of office or the medical ekill of Jobe Van Buren, John is a great political at Syracuse conventions ; Wit we aro fearful bat the present malady of the honkers is part orate had | We therefore count upon two democratic tickets for November. or one which will be tecratched to pieces at the polls, Thus mach for the harmonious reunited democracy of New York six months after the inauguration. John Randolph said that the seven cardinal prioci- ples ef the modern politicians were the five loaves and the two fisher. Randolph wasright. They were the underpinning of the Baltimore platform, and, being taken away, it threatens to fall to the ground. But the whigs—the badly-beaten and sup- pored to be defunct whig party—what of them? Their State Committee bas agreed to calla State Convention. But where is the party? Split into two parts, like the “bloody demo- eracy”—one free soil and abolition, the other compromise and national; and the two whig organs at Albany, the Journal and the Rezister, jurt as lovingly quarreling as the two Dromios of ‘the unterrified.” We doubt, first, whether the whigs can drum up a State Convention at all; but it they do, the ticket they will appoint aud the principles they will declare are beyond the reach of our teleseope. If the Fillmore men ‘dare totouch the ehibboleth of the compromise, there will be an insurrection in the ranks; and ifthe Seward men venture to thrust upon the convention too many of the obnoxious disciples of the arch-agitator. all the fat is in the fire again. A leading Seward organ proposes to drop the slavery issue altogether, to leave the administration entirely to the care of the demo- crate, and thos standing clean and clear of the two greatest obstructions to success, to’ put forth a State ticket on the broad issues of State reform—the whole platform to rest upon the solid foundation of the Maine Liqnor law. This is a model plan for re-uniting’and re-or- ganizing the whig party. It will doubtless be tried on; but we fear that the anti-Seward influence will overrule it. Much, for the chances of the whigs, will depend upon the re- sults of the Democratic State Convention. If the democrats are reconciled and unit- ed upon a compromise ticket. then the whigs may possibly fall back upon the Maine law; otherwise the result of the whig convention is all in the fog. In fact. there is but little hope of any satisfactory re- union of either of the two old parties. We rather suspect they will both go to Syracuse divided in spirit, and will leave definitely dis- organized, With this prospect before us, and considering, too, that the “free democracy” are to have a ticket of their own, there is a most beautiful and attractive opening for a grand independent movement of the Temperance Alliance. includ- ing the women’s rights associations, for the redemption ard regeneration of this great com- monwealth, out-and-out. Why, then, do not the Sons and Daughters of Temperance organ- ize, call a State convention, and nominate an independent Siate ticket, headed by Mrs. Bloomer, upon the new and impregnable plat- form of the Maine Liquor law? Why not? In aecrub race, why should-not the Maine law and the women’s rights party put in with their new broom, and ecrub them all? Strong minded women of New York, to the rescue! Now is the time.

The latter, with a mixture of humor and sar- caem, contains some rather hard knocks, direct- ed against Mr. Dillaye ; but all,fof course, con- ceived in the spirit of true brotherly lové and democratic affection.

We publish these communications, induced thereto by the moet benevolent intentions. Feelings which have no vent are apt to become intensified, and so the fraternal misunderetand- ings which originated in the Albany meeting, might, if onnaturally restrained, result in a con- firmed and uncompromising epirit of hostility; but by giving the benefit of our wide circula- tion as @ eafety-valve, to prevent an explosion, the natural consequence will he that Messrs.

INVESTIGATIONS INTO Recent RaiiRoap Acct- LENTS.— We publish in our columne this morn. ing, our special report of the second day’s pro- linge on the trial of Charles H. Comstoek, theconcucter of the train which encountered the terrible casualty at Norwalk bridge in May fast. The defendant is indicted fur manslaugh- ter; the allegations of the prowecution being that the calamity waa the result of his carelessnesa and negligence in conducting the train. This trial ia taking place before the County Court in Danbury, Faisiield county, Connecticut and ex- cites much attention. We also publish to-day, the report of the first dey’s proceedings of a Court of Investigation composed of Railroad Commissioners; now in session in Providence, R. L, charged with ex- emining a3 to the causes of the fatal collision which occurred on the Providence and Worces- ter Railroad. in the early part of this month. Most of the fucte and circumstances elicited in these investigations will have been alréady too well known to our readers ; but we do not on that account omit their repetition, as brought ont in the cov of these trials. Our objeot is. by the publication of these reports, at once to inister to the intense interest which the com- munity feelin respect to these terrible railroad casvaltes, end at the same time to keep the eabject of railroad mismanagement before tbe public until measures are adopted to render travelling a matter ofmuch lesa danger than it now unfortunately is.
