We have before us now the call end pledge of the ? party in the Twentieth ward, and it is only following the example of two or three other wards which have gone be ore it in the good work. New York Politics and Bartlesx—The Pros- pect for November, ‘The democracy having finiehed their momen- tous labore at Syracuse, the order of battle on all sides for our November electioa is at length definitely arranged. There are four parties in the field, to wit—the republican, the American, the democratic, and Gerrit Smith parties. Hach of these parties is represented by a fall State ticket, excepting the Smith party, the ticket of which is limited to Smith as their candidate for Governor upon the most radical ideas of “tem- perance and freedom.” Mr. Smith, however, is not fighting his battle single handed, for that powerful apostle of cold water, Father Delevan, has generously come to the reacue. The republican party having declined to put Thurlow Weed into “a back seat ia the new car,” as waa required in order to conciliate his enemies of the dark lantern, and having in- dignantly refused to back down on the aigger question, as was demanded by the Know Nothings, in order to conciliate their brethren in the slave States, who are “walting for some- thing to turn up,” we find the republicans recuced to their own resources upon the State ticket. Thus the result of last fall will most probably be repeated; for the chances are de- cidedly in favor of the conclusion tat once again the opposition, between two stools, will fall to the ground. ‘The anti-slavery platform of the republicans has been reduced to the mere skeleton of the living, active and terrible giant it was but two short years ago. Is is a bloodless, fleshless scarecrow, which may still serve the purpose of frightening a few old grannies, but which can no longer alarm the sensible masses of the people concerning the horrible designs of the “slave democracy” and the “slave power,” The admission of Minnesota, and the prospective ad- mission of Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon and Wash- ington Territories, all as free States, leave the South and the “slave power” completely at the mercy of the all-powerful North. The nigger agitation, therefore has exhausted itself, there being scarcely enough left of it to keep ihe late overwhelming republican organization of the North in a state of decent discipline. Indeed, with the loss of “bleeding Kansas,’ the party bas been “growing small by degrees” in almost every Northern State, and is particularly in a condition vi disintegration ia the State of New York. In this view, the resolutions of the republi- cans at Syracuse, levelled at the administration, in connection with the slavery question, will | yield, we fear, bat a scanty crop in November, inasmuch as the people are in the habit of jadg- ing an administration more by its results than upon empty abstractions. Asfor the rump of the American party, it is reduced to the single alternative of showing the republicans tbe ae- cessity of a coalition upon any terms, and it will doubtless take good care upon the State ticket to make good tiis couviction. On the other hand, while the opposition forces are thus divided and adrift upon dilferenes tween sections, and factions, and cliques, and principler, and theories, and reforms, and ridi culous crotchets and kinks upon niggers. and aliens, and the Pope of Rome, and © tem perance and freedom,’ and what not, the democracy, in the administration of Mr. Bu- chanan, have a solid platform of principles and measures upon which all factions and frac- tions of the party may cordially stand together And here we see, from the gathering strength of the administration in every quarter, that it is the sure reliance of the democratic party: and thot while they have no other basis of union and success, they may confidently take the field under the wing of the administration. ‘The only real issue in this State canvass is upon Mr. Buchanan’s administration: and opon its practical results the party supporting it need have no fear of the dismantled. disorganized and divided opposition. !n 1856 Judge Parker, for Governor, was beaten by Mr. King by a plurality exceeding sixty-five thousand votes— in 1867 the democracy carried the State, « hundred thousand votes or #0 being missing on the republican side. These voters remained at home; ard this fall, should they come oat, a majority of them, we suspect, will be, or con be, ba. drawn over to the aiministration sive: for the next step afler indifference to the party with which a man bas been acting Is to deeort it, especially hausted. The democracy can rally and reunite upon the administration as their platform; but th opposition odds and ends of old whiggery, tiaf falo democracy, republicanivm, Know Nothing- iam. “temperauce and freedom,” &c., can never patch up a platform of abstractions apon which they can combine. Their policy is the policy of hostility to the federal administration, as the policy of the democrats is the policy of sustain. | ing it, throagh thick and thin. Next upon this policy of ho-tility, after the example of 1510, it isthe programme of the opposition forevs to rally under some such universally azceptable name as that of General Seott; for all other | schemes of fusion will signally fail, North and South. if its active capital has Divenston or Traps wy Quarantine Exac Tions Yiatow Fever sot Covtaciors.—We learn from a large importing houve in this city in the West India trade, that they had stopped the shipment of sugars from l’orto Rico direct to this port, and had sent cargoes to New Haver and were at present receiving them in New York by schooners navigating Long Isand Sound, with a material saving of expense. This diversion of trade acts injuriously upon the le gitimate lighterage and labor of the city. Other cargocs have been sent from the West Indies to under more reasonable (Quarantine charges, have come to New York. It is strange that we can eat the sugars and rantine os contagious articles, which are as capablejof conveying and catch the disease. juite et not ic We see that Dr. Waleer and Dr. Biseell but testify to the settled convictions of every intelligent physician acquainted with the disease in every part of the world, when theyfleciare shat the yellow fever is not conta that is, a patient carried from the in fected air of the tropics. or of the hold of aship to the bealthy air of Staten Island, or to the city, would be incapable of commani it to othere. All experience is against supposition; and since the Quarantine firetesteblished at ite present site, there bas gious been no well authenticated instance in which the disease has from one family to an- other on Staten Island. If it were a contagious isease, not a summer would pass that it would not sweep over New York and its vioinity. It is a disease cantracted by the infécted air at the point of its origin, or of air brought | from the infected port in the hold of a ship. A | contagious disease spreads from one person to | another, however pure the air or healthy the | locality, Quarantine laws at best are great humbugs; but when administered as our are at | present, they are intolerably oppressive. Our worthy Mayor seems to have a yellow fever-phobia, and he had better recommend the closing of the port by sinking vessels at tho Narrows @ la Sebastopol. Rovat. Visrrens—Tre Queen or Geear Bri- TAIN AND HER Canapian Lives —We publish today a wumber of amusing articles from Eoglich journals, in relation to the sag- gested visit of the “doar little Queen,” as the Albion calls her, to the wilds of North America. The London Ames thinks it would be @ good idea for her Majesty’s loyal sub- jecta in the Canadas to have a eight of her gracious pereon, and quite agtecs with the Hera in its-eetimate of the grand reception which would await her both in the States and in British America: The Liverpool Mercury says very truly that a vieit to New York “might be as effective in consolidating the peace of the world as a visit to Cherbourg or Berlin.” But | they all arrive at the conciusion that the journey _ is surrounded with tco many difficulties to be | within the bounds of probability. It seems doubtful, indeed, whether the Canadians can succeed in borrowing the Prince of Wales for the opening of their Industrial Exhibition. And eo it seems we are not to have a royal | visit. It is a splendid idea knocked in the head by the intervention of a stormy sea. It is too bad. Think of what a grand opening fora celebration the Queen’s visit would make in New York! We have had some queens here, though not hereditary ones. Who does aot re- member the éremendous excitement created by the Queen of the Dance, Fanoy Klsster. Men fought for a glance at the tips of her toes, and thought it an honor to assist in dragging her carriage. Then there was another ovation to Jenny Lind, the Queen of Soxg, who literally walked on flowers from the time she stepped upon our eoil until she returned to Karope fall ot glory and dollare. Koguth, an ew-Governor, and an immense humbug, reteived the honors of « first class stateeman and a conquering hero, when he was only a defeated politician of the | emallest calibre. But, suppose we had areal | Queen--the repreeentative of an empire upon which the sun never rets—the sovereign of a people tha: we like the better the oftener we quarrel with them—the idol of our loving eousins and our best customers! Why, the cable carnival would be nothing to the re- ception which we should give to the British Queen. The stately and solemn official greetings | of France and I’russia would sink into insigniti- cance before the enthusiastic welcome offered to Enyland’s sovereign by the American people. ‘The shout of congratulation which would ex- tend from the forests of Maine to the capes of Viorida, from the shores of Jersey te the Gold- eu Gate, would drown all the artillery of Cher- bourg. thousand years, all our international amenities wad courtesies, all our parades and displays, all our gas lights and illuminations, all our bon- fires and joyous demonstrations, would be con- ccntrated in one grand ovation to the Queen. But it may come yet; and in our day a British sovereign may ride up Broadway. In the mean- time, as we cannot have the Queen of England, | we are to have Picolomini, the Queen of the Opera, und one of the most fascinating of so- vereigns. We must all join together and give her # glorious reception. Without somebody to reccive w should relapse into a state of hope- less stupidity ; e0 let it be Picolomini—the youth- ful, beautiful and charming Queen of Song. She lately received « grand ovation in Dublin; but the New Yorkers, in such matters. can beat the Irish “all to smash.” Tur Dewoctare Srur rs ruts Crry.—The late Dean Richmond and Peter Cagger doings at Syracuse, instead of closing up, have widened the breach between the Tam-- many and anti-Tammany faction? of this city. Ife will be a master engineer who can bridge the chasm over. It isa deep and awfal abyss, which threatens to eagulph all the spoils of this county and of thie mighty corporation, amounting to thousands and millions of dol lars, in the November and December elections, And all this may be lost without af- fecting the integrity of the State ticket. Let the Sachems of Tammany light ap their largest pipe of peace and proceed to smoke it, or all may be lost, exeept the mere empty honors of a State victory. crate men are apt to resort to desperate extremities, and the parties so ignominiously expelled from the tabernach Syracuee are inno humor now for children’s play. Unless <peedily looked after they may possibly fuse with the opposition. apoa this ; ticket and that ticket. bere and there, all over this island, in November and in December. We almost despair of peace. We are almost con- vineed that the hottest, bitterest and most de- structive fight of the fuctions of the lust twenty years is at hand, and that the list of the killed and wounded will be poritively shocking to con- | | template with the close of the December elee- | tion. But now Is the time for the taxpayers to enter the arena, With the opposition all at sixes and sevens, and with the democracy di- vided into two fighting factions, the taxpayers ave an opening and an inv’ ion to enter the liste, which they should not decline. Two or | three meetings will organize a party an de | velope a ticket which will take the city from the spoilsmen, and save us two or three millions & year of our pretent and prospective taxation.

One or two of oar wembers of Congress are doubtless largely figuring in this business, on account of some peltry disappointments and personal grudges of their own. But, ew 4 (ranted that the Collector should be a man fully competent for the important official duties of his office, ie not Mr. Schell equal to every requisition of this sort? He is; and no man can entertain « doubt | of the perfect security of the interests of the treasury with the Custom House under his supervision. And should it be urged that Mr. Schell is not the politician, the shrewd engineer in diepensing the spoils which his office requires, we have oaly to ok, is there amanliviag upoa All the historical recollections of a | triet the face of the earth who, with # thousand Offices in his gift, could eatisfy a thousand office- holders and ten thousand applicants!

Asuucans Convivsy om a Spranisn = Don- Gxon.—We publish in another column a very in- | teresting letter from an American sailor, now confined in the Spanish State prion at Seville. He was second mate of the ship Waverley, which arrived at Manila three years ago with a cargo of rebellious coolies on board, in conflict with whom the officers and crew committed great elaughter. The letter of Mr. Wecks iscaim and moderate in tone, and has none of thecharacter- istic marks of having come from a bad man. He | mate of the ship) to six years’ imprisonment, | and both are now in the chain gang at Seville. | Our government should have complete informa- | tion of the trial at Manila of these officers ofan | American vessel, and if these mea bave been ua- | justly condemned, immediate steps should be | taken for their liberation. Because they are | “both very poer, and have no rich friends to | stir the goverriment,”’ as Mr. Weeks says in his | Letter, the State Department should be the more ready to take the case up at once. It has been too much the habit of that department to ne- glect cases of individual oppression abroad, un- lees the parties have influential friends to besiege the Secretary. As these men are from Mr. Ap- pleton’s own State, we commend their case to | his early attention. Tun Quaran Grounp’ Morte .cen.

But it so happens | that the grounds and hospitals are mortgaged by the Commissioners of Emigration for $100,000, and in all probability his Honor will have to add that snug little sum to the $:100,000 required for rebuilding yellow fever and small- pox hospitals on Staten Island.
