Now that the smoke of the recent political battle in Pennsylwanta bas cleared away, and the public are permitted to look over the fiel@ nod ascertain the real position of the different feotions in the antirepablican army ia that contest, they are able to discover undeniable proof that the defeat of the democratic nomi- nee was brought about by the treachery of party leaders and petty township politicians, who were umable to comprehend the great question at issue, much leas to see the effect of their course upon the fature of this yet youth- ful nation. The real instead of the false atti- tude of the different forces fa that State has thrown a world of light upon the canvass fa this and other Northern States. It reveals the fact that in New York is the only real union of the conservative forces in opposition to the revolutionary doctrines of William H. Seward. This view of the recent contest in that State should have the effect of encouraging those who have forced the selfish politicians who compose the regencies and committees in New York to give way to those who do understand the ques- tions involved in this Presidential contest and have brought about a union upon one electoral ticket. Lostead of sitting quietly down, they ought to buckle on their armor and prepare for the battle, as though ao unfavorable news bad been received from the Keystone State. There is no denying the fact that if Lincoln selected he will, whilst in power, be under the influence of Seward, the high priest of the Tepudlican party. This apostle of the “higher law’ bas just returned from a stamping tour In the West, where he has been promulgating his fanatical doctrines and preparing the minds of the people to back him up in any posl- tion that be may force Lincoln to take. It is one of his peculiarities to make conservative speeches in Washington, euch as serve to throw off all suspicions as to the real objects of the party. It is only on the eve of ‘an import- ant election, and In some Northern city, that he announces the real principles and aims of the party of which he is the leader. On no other occasion do we hear him preaching the “irrepressible conflict,” or giving utterance to eich sentiments ae were contalued in bis re and Senta «and having whilst even this forlorn hope is left fopgs of There is yet time to accomplish (he quicker the republicans, for New Yorkgy, than any other section of the gf) poll of the There is unquestionabjy, to elghty thousand vote in New York, fp¥ the republicans, and majority in opPgtiscrupulous politicians who if the selfish 96en trying to elect Lincoln can bave thusfeir proper place—New York made tkeerned in our union electoral ticket go at ‘ork as though the salvation of the country were in their haods—the fanatical doctrines proclaimed by Seward in his recent Western tour will receive an overwhelming repudi- ation at the ballot-box. What are you, the Committee of Fifteen, doing to meet this great iseue? Having assumed the management of affairs, the eyes of the nation are now turned to ~~ Let no time be lost in preparing for the attle. The Prince's Bali—Cotton, Hardware and Codfiem Predominant. If New York had a second Juvenal he could not find a more fruitful theme for his lash than the ball which the commercial aristocracy of this city gave on Friday night to the Prince of Wales. With a very large experience in public gatherings, we do not re- member ever having seen one which equalled this assembly in extraordinary contrasts “and striking alternations between cleverness and +tupidity in its management. In certain essen- tials, such as the supper—which was one of Delmonico’s greatest triumphs—the very best thing of the kind ever done here, and which was served, all things considered, with mifiracu- lous celerity and precision—the arrangements | of police and the general order of the house, exits and entrances, under the charge of Mr. Moes, no improvement could be suggested. The committee was very fortunate in its employ:s, wih the single exception of the bungling car- penters, who are responsible for the breakiog through of the door. This accident might have been easily guarded against by proper tests before the people were admitted. But after the fleor had been repaired, the supper served, and the ball really commenced, the spectacle was a very curious one. It had been supposed that the best society in New York—the youth and beauty especially of the metropolis— would have been gathered about the Prince, to pay him that graceful homage aad courteous reception to which his position as the first gentleman of Eogland entitles him. New York, as well as other great cities, has a certain number of what are termed society men, They are lively, pleasant fellows, talk nonsense agreeably, dance well, and generally keep things going. Light, frivolous and empty- headed people though they may be when judged by a severe Front street standard, they still have their places In the social circle, they are welcome in every house, and their presence is absolutely necessary in an affair like the Prince's ball. Then, as a pendant to these Dashaway fellows, we have the type of the thorough society woman—the belle whe goes to three parties a week in the season, and who enggests anti-dancing tracts and me | dical lectures against paper-soled shoes | ond low-necked dresses—the woman who is utterly given over to Satan and all bis works, real Honiton and diamonds included. And the solemn truth is, as we have said before. that the presence of these people is absolutely necessary for an affuir like the Prince's ball, | which should have been a demonstration of young people in honor of one of their own set. The fact was, however, that the floor was managed by sexagenariana, The Grand Cham- berlain or Powter Stick-in waiting was a very respectable and excellent old gentleman, whose dancing days, M any he had, were over balf a century ago, and who has been too busily eo- gaged in amassing money to culttvate bis man- ners, All the persons immediately about the Prince wore the same venerable aspect. Such 8 splendid study of antiques of both sexes has never before been enjoyed in this city. It seemed like going back to the Pyramids; we looked involuntarily for the knee breeches, buckles and silk stockings of our grandfathers, and the. high heeled shoes ‘and enormous headdresses of the women of the century. To see the old fellows eighteenth | hobbling about, interfering with everybody, elaborately disarranging other people's plans, cone whaterer of Welk owe, wus the venerable persons above referred to when they are in their proper places. But we must be permitted to say that, when men or women rise fifty years of age, the floor of a ballroom is not precisely the place where they appear to the best advan- tage as managers and controllers. There were at the Prince’s ball three thousand and twenty- five persons, and of these not more than @ couple of hundred were young dancing people. Had it not been for the Prince and the young men of his suite, the ballwould have been quence was thatthe Prince's party must hav imagined that people in New Yo an anomaly—that is, a ball at which nobody danced. As it was,they barely saved it. The courteous, gentlemanly, highbred manners of sealed | the royal party afforded the strongest and most fuseiness of the old NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1860, which they usurp, and take the mat ter into their own hands. By adoptiu: uvion tickets in the several Congressional dis- tricte, a8 common sense and common danger recommend, the conservatives can yet return & majority to the House of Representatives, who can extract the sting from the serpent of re- publicanism, and render it completely hard less in the next Congress, even though Mr. Lincolo should receive a majority of the electoral vows of the Union and be installed as President in the White House. A republican administration, with an opposition united majority against it in both houses ef Congress, would be powerless for mischief, and could never carry out its revo- lutionary designs, A Warn te the South im Behalf of Lincolm’s Administration, and, Perhaps, @ Little Too Fast. Our ecstatic cotemporary, the Tribune, in the ‘ull confidence of a republican President from and after the 4th of March next, undertexes to give a gentle warning to the politicians of the South. They are thus admonisted that it would be best for them to absddon “the de- vice of representing the repy»ticans as a baod of crazy fanatics, intent o* the immediate and compulsory abolition of 4avery;” that ft is folly longer to persist inepresenting Helper and Jobn Brown as »* expounders of republican principles, ap7 that our Southern brethren would do wt, in this connection, to remember that “it p4 been so habitual with anti-republi- cers and writers—especially at the to represent the republicans as intent are not permitted to go into society until y | are entirely bald and are old enough “ upon quadrilles and otber vanities He same order with the stern severity of ~’ : mists.

It 1s ise you won't dine and be bored We do Ippeeches, and we must do something witta to keep up our trade with Mr. Buil.” }d that is the moral of the Prince's ball. The Effect of Union Tic: If the union of the conservative elements on one Presidential ticket in thie State should not be successful in defeating Lincoln, the union of that interest in the several Congressional dis- trictes may at least have the effect of contri- buting to secure a majority in the next Honse of Reprerentatives, as there is now in the Senate; and that is a grand point to be gained when it is considered that Lincoln, if elected, cannot carry out the republican programme witbout a Congress at his back to sustain him. By uniting the conservative elements in the @ifferent Congressional districts ot this city and State upon a single ticket in each, the result would be a defeat of the republican candidates for the House of Representatives, and the elec- tion of opposition members. But what do we find? The conservative interest divided upon two or three tickets in every district, while the republicans are united in a compact, solid column. This is insanity, and can only result in certain defeat and disaster. Some of the candidates are taken from the grogshops, and are the very worst epecimens of our citizens. Now, this ought not to be. Among the aspirants to seats in the House of Representatives, we have as yet seen only the names of two candidates who occupy the right position. These men are Benjamin Wood, of the Third district, and John Cochrane, of the Sixth. These gentlemen have combined on a single ticket the whole conservative elements of their respective districts, and we trust that no other ticket opposed to black republicanism will be started in elther district. We have every con- fidence that these candidates will be successful, and we hope that a similar course will be adopted in every district throughout the city and State. When bad men combine, good men ovght to unite. By union alone the conserva. tive interest can stand; by division it must fall. Ahouse divided against itself cannot stand. Division in the ranks of the conservative element is like the madness which now threatens to destroy the cause of pa- trictism in Italy, by bringing the patriot King Victor Emanuel, and the patriot chief Garibaldi, and their adherents, into oolii- sion, and thus risking the loas of all that has been gained by the revolution, and giving an opportunity to Austria to extend once more her iron rule over a lost province, and to check the growih of liberal ideas throughout the whole peninsula. Every friend of conservatism, every man hostile to the anti-slavery programme of black republicanism, ought, therefore, to be fully im- pressed himself with the necessity of union, and imprees it upon the minds of all who cherish the same sentiments, whether they call them- selves Breckinridge men, or Bell men, or Doug las men. In no instance let two conservative tickets be run in the same district; and if there is no other way of deciding between the claims of two or three candidates, let it be done by lot. But it appears to us that the conservative voters could fairly and equitably settle the matter by a very simple process. Let them hold a primary election in the district, and let ballot boxes be erected, and all the con servative voters of every denomination de- posit their votes therein, and let the men who receives the largest number be the candidate put forward in the legal election, and let the otbere withdraw from the contest and give bim their warmest support. This is the only eensible course. The idea of splitting the conservative interest is absurd, and the man who advises it must either be a knave, a fool or an ignoramua. The notion of preserving par ties in their integrity, which the shock of tevo- lution has shattered, is sheer nonsense. These demoralized and disorganized parties must form ® new political combination; in conformity with the march of events and the spirit of the time ‘There Is one live party in the country, and that ie the bisck republican. The ouly other live Party there can be is a conservative one in op- position to republicanism There cannot be two or three conservative parties, warring against each other as well as against the com mon enemy. They would cense to be conserva: tive, and no longer deeerve the neme. All old party claims and names, founded on obsolete issues, must be merged in the one new name and the one cause. If the local politicians kick agalnet this imple plan of anfety, the peo pie chu Ack thew wel actical busi- | of the plaves | dae cede. compulsory emancipation of the blacks, at a pegro insurrection (perbaps more than one) is very likely to follow the knowledge of | a republican triumph.” This danger, we are next told, “is one which calls for the exercise of wisdom, vigilance and true courage throughout the slave States to pre- vent @ most deplorable waste of human lives; and that it is “most desirable that the sensible, patriotic citizens of the South should interpore at once to stop the ridiculous gasconade of disunion;” for that this thing “can exert no influence over the free States, except to confirm them in their fixed re- solve not to be bullied out of their convictions by menaces which strike at the root of constitu: tional government,” and much more in the same vein. We interpret it all as signifying that unless the conservatives of the South come up at once toa cordial acquiescence in Lia- coln’s election, they will be apt to suffer for their neglect, in the outbreak. here and there, of rervile insurrections. This is certainly a terrible rod of coercion to hold over the Southern States. Yon must sup port our President and party in power, or look out that your slavesdo not turn upon you. Have a care, or they may really believe that the mission of the republican party is to free them, and, thus encouraged, they may strike for their own deliverance. Is not this a despe- rate expedient to frighten the South into sub mission; Can any good come of it! On the other hand, Is it not fearfully suggestive of the future programme of the republican party* These warnings of our republican co- temporary are based upon the cer- tainty of Lincoln's election. But he is not yet elected, and his friends should not forget the old truism of “many a slip ‘twixt the cup and lip.” Pennsylvania, Obio and Indiana bave al) gone by the board, and cannot be re- covered against Lincoln, we admit; but in all these States the fuctious jealousies and person- al feuds among Douglas men, Breckinridge men and Beil-Everett men have been stronger to divide them than have been their common interests to unite them. Their iatestine quar Tels set them to devouring each other, and while thus engaged their common enemy step- ped forward and knocked them all in the head. In New York the same state of things would now exist bad such old party caucus and worn out back politicians as Dean Richmond and John A. Green, and others of the same sort, been permitted to rule the roast. But their foolish and suicidal proceedings on both sides disgusted our sober, practical, conservative men, and the consequence is that from aa inde- pendent volunteer union committee in this city we have secared s union electoral ticket for this State egainst Lincoln, upon whioh all the factions concerned are cordially, and from a proper sense of necessity, concentrating their strength. The battle has still to be fought in New York, and she holds the balance of power ia ber hands. According to all our election re- sults of the last four years, from year to year, there is a conservative majority in this State against the republican party of at least forty thousand; and it may still be strong enough to turn the scale in November, allowing a liberal margin for desertions and defections. And so, before the Tribune proceeds to lift the curtain upon the second act of the republican drama, let us bave the denouement of the first. The maid, with the milking pail on her bead, was very confident of a new silk gown; but in the very act of deciding upon the color thereof she forgot the law of gravitation, and all was lost Lincoln cannot be elected without the vote of New York, and he will have to Sight to get it. Tuk Potaneuruta Newsrarens ayp Tut New Yous Henauo.—The Philadelphia news- papers are apparently very much astonished at the result of the Pennsylvania election, and are perplexing their brains with all sorts of theories to account for the crushing defest of Foster. Their utter ignorance of what was coming betrays their iacompetency as the orgaus of public opinion. They virtually con- cede this point in attributing tbe overwhelm- ing succere of Ourtin to the influence of the atrocious New York Hera in behalf of Fos ter. In faot, of all the little cliques of the pro vinctal newepaper prees, the little olfque of emall beer political organs of Philade!pbia are moetin the habit of attributing aay result of ny election, anywhere, to the infuence of the Henato, os the advocate or opponent of the victorious party. Thus It appears we elect Tom by supporting bis adversary Dick about as often as we elect Harry by advocating lis own cluims. But as a class of uewepaper men, ovr Ibila delpbie cotemporaries are scurry piace mpoope, with all the petty jealousies and mean and mo- lignant traite peculiar to the lowbred, eulgar fellow. In this ostegory the North American ts net included, for, aithough a somewhat straight jaced old Mies Nancy in some things, it takes « proad, practical, comptebensive rango in tte slews upon mong things. But come et ite neigh- bors are aa destitute of the teachings of common decency o# (bey are of the principles of com- Taeg lave avi eved Do cilia eagacity to com ebend the fact that, in descend- ing to foul mo ‘hed personal asssulte upon tbe viriter or inv ted guest to their city, they ure oply betrayi » stbemselves as illbred vil- lage curs, unacou- omed to the usages of higher society, From time to time we bave been constrained to give these Philadelphia newspaper emall fry « liwe pruning down, and they may take it for granted that we eball repeat our instructions whenever the occasion may require it. We know thut, even with a little scoring, they like be advertised in the HexaLp; but let them be civil if they wieh to be mentioned by name. —— New York Comgressions! Nominations.
