Hereafter whenever any country subscription 70 the

This plan is adopted in order to give cur patrons IN

bv fresh remittance, to expect it to cease at the
close of the period for which it had been paid. Sub
scrbers will therefore, understand after this notice,
what is meant by receiving their papers done up IN

By this method we furnish individual subscribers
with proper notice, without putting them TO the ex-
pense of postage, and thus shave Amos Kendall, py

for he has too much experience ever to DC a
partisan-but as a philosopher, as patriot as
an independent, thinking, and rejecting being-an
animal that may be called phenomenon IN human
affairs. The history of the various movements OF
beth parties in every part Of the state from this time
M to November next will be faithfully collected, re-
corded, compared and commented on in this paper.
We shall investigate and analyze the results OF the
last few years. and endeavor to place. accurately ana
fully before readers the state of the question: each
day. each week, or each month, as the new events
turn up on the tide of time, like dead mackere with
their white bellies uppermos on the tide OF the eter-
nal ocean. 1t will be- in fact, such PERIODICAL PM
oscphical analysis of the political elements, heavng
and throwing in this state we daily give OF the
financial elements, rushing and raging throughout the
nation.
In aid of this project perfectly original IN this
country-we desire independent men of both parties
and in every county-sHch men as love beautiful truth
with rapture, and adore more beautiful woman with
deeper rapture-to forward information in detail of
the several districts so that by comparing the whole
in this great central point of thought and beauty, we
may be able to reach some probable and accurate OPT
MON as to the result of the next state election and
the fate of Francis Granger and William l.. Marcy
in November involving as it does the fate OF Henry
CLAY and Martin Van Buren, in 1910.
We are on the eve Of greater movement in New
York, and deeper excitement in the Union, than any
country has ever since the call of Abraham.
The preliminary contest for November begins this
day the work. Both parties, we learn, intend to &C.
ebrate the recent vetory-both claiming 1t to be
theirs-and both swearing, like moss troopers on a
foray that they will carry New York next fall, per
as aut ness, which being interpreted in the locofoco
vernacular, means-"agin all natur."

The New York state elections, which take place W
November next viii determine the ascendancy, either
efthe wing or Of the democratic party in this state
and this decision in New York will inevitably give the
next presidency in the election Of 1870, either to elo-
quent Henry Clay Of Kentucky, Or cunning Martin
Van Buren, Of Kindsrheok.
At the recent election in this city, both parties were
nearly equally balanced the actual difference not be-
inc i6O votes in 40,00o-a mere triAe in popular
contests. The position Of both parties is believed to
Ia similar throughout the stae-that is TO say neck
and neck, tail and tail-very like whale, and very
IKE q whale.
