Ward Meetings-Great Excitcme mt mpor-
tant Results Ahead -Loo'x out

ms cNy, 10 select Delegates 10 IammaLy Hall,
who are to nominate candidates for Senator, Sheriff.
Coroner, County Clerk and Assembly, to be elected
this fall, ere held to-day, aud in several there will
be warm work, bloody noses and darSened peppers
The importance of this result, in personal sense,
will be seen when it is known that there are some
hundred candidates in the field, all striving TO OBJ
tain chance for preference. This will draw forth
much personal feeling at the several poll districts,
which will terminate in aught but quiet and order
In the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh, Ninth and Fourteenth Wards, there will
be close contest between the Van Buren, and anti
Van Buren, factions, aided and assisted by personal
predictions for certain candida les. The promi-
nent candidates for Sheriff are John ]. Westervelt,
the present popular deputy, Alderman Emmans, of
the Sixth Ward, Harry Atwood, of the Seventeenth
Ward, Alderman Hatfield, Of the Eleventh, and
some dozen others. For County Clerk James Conner,
the type founder, Samuel Osgood, recent Deputy
County Clerk, Alderman Waterman, of the Ninth
Ward, and Assistant Alderman Smith, and some
twenty others For Coroner, DIR. Archer, the
present incumbent, ex Alderman Nash, DR.. Van
Zant, and some thirty others, good, bad, and
Indifferent, few of whom in any way quail
lied to perform the duties of the Office. For
Senate and Assembly all the young fedging law
yers of the party, ONE twenty OF other professions
with little brains end less common sense, and half
dozen capable, able, and honest men, who stand
the least chance of the lot. The ensuing election
will therefore be one of great interest to politicians,
il settles the choice Of three of the most impor-
tant offices within the gift of the people for the
space OF three years The aspect of POLITICAL or we
might add partizan AFFAIRS in this city, is strikingy
peculiar at this period, and will be fraught with
strange results a: the November election The
wing party were never better organized since the
days of TiIpecapoe and Tyler too, and the demo-
cratic party were never In more distracted posi-
tion-arising mainly from the illtempered and i'll
advised course OF their partizan organs, who have
been the principal means of sowing dscord and
dissension The nominations by the democratic
party at Tammany Hall, it Is presumed
from the tenor of the Van Buren, press,
will be made solely from the Van Buren,
ranks, and all dissenters, or those who may have a
first preference for any other candidate for the Pres
dency, will be thrown overheard as entitled to no
benefits or party emoluments. Such course will
arouse the opposition Of the disappointed applicants,
VINO, with the elements already Ignited, will fan a
flame not easily quenched. The result, therefore,
will probably be nomination of second set of
democratic candidates, who will be presented at the
general meeting at Tammany Hall, for con-
currence and nought bnt Cancellation by the
Van Buren, press, and Cancellation by the Van
Buren, partizans, will ever prevent such result.
third ticket thus engendered, with selection OF
good, honest able and capable men, of business
habits, as candidates, will receive the support of
from two to three, perhaps five thousand democratic
voters. The wing party, notwithstanding the false
Lights and contemplated movements of one of
their partzan sheets, will come into the field with
one of the strongest tickets ever nominated, with
Morris Franklin for Senator, at its head. They WILL
therefore, poll full party vote, which will bring
them within few thousand of their opponents. II,
third ticket should be nominated as now
appears to be very probable, the chances will be in
favor of the success of the whg party, who may
thus luckily secure the whole county ticket We
throw out these suggestions order that either and
all parties can take just much advantage Of each
other as they please; and also to show party rid
den community the necessity OF compelling each
party to select men for nomination to these impor-
tant offices in which the public have implicit con.
fdence. None others can be elected this fall, not
withstanding any and every attempt 10 force them
upon the people by party tactics. The time has
gone by when corrupt party presses, and still
corrupt partizan leaders, can compel the indepen.
dem voters of this city to swallow any and every
thing they may feel disposed to present as candi-
dates.
