DEAR SIR AS the result Of the recent political
contest is, like the strife ITSELF matter of history
II may not be inappropriate to say something OF the
future course of the victorious army Governor
Wright, as you are aware, has recently been in
town, making his arrangements for the winter.
He was the guest OF his old friend, the Compt-
roller but was not unfrequenlly cosetted with Mr..
Croswel, and Gov. Marcy. The barn-surners,
and the od-hunkers. will, like the lion and lamb,
now lie down together, at least as far as the
Governor is concerned, who will not be governed
by regency of either division. II is said that
Mr. w. has taken the three story house, attached
to Congress Hall, of Mr.. Landon, and that Mr. l..
Is to supply table, attendance, &c. ne. II this is
SO, the Governors guests will be sure of excellent
feels at least.
There will be some changes in high places. First.
Attorney General Barker resigns, and returns to
his Practice; and not, as many say, to be candl-
date Tor the United States Senate There are nu-
merous applicants already in the field; the first is
deem the best. Judge Parker, who succeeded
last winter in getting the appointment OF Circuit
Judge over Mr. Van Buren,, is also candidate;
but why he leaves his seat on the bench, is mys-
terry TO every one. Your city furnishes several
candidates Robert III. Morris and John W. Ed
monds are most generally spoken of; and western
New York will have It's applicants. II is sngu-
lar TACT, that the three Attorney Generals prece-
ding Mr.. Hall, as also Mr.. Barker, were western
men. Mr.. Talcott, Justice Bronson, and Justice
Beardsley, were all from Oneida county.
There being but corporals guard OF old demo-
cratic members in the assembly this year, the
speakership is rather puzzler. Mr.. Horatio Sey-
mour, who has been twice member, is the Ar
gus candidate, and from what can learn, with
good look, as they say, for the place. Mr.. S. is
wealthy, has been Mayor OF Utica, and is a man
Of respectable talents. He is reader debater but
in other respects, is about on a par with Hon. r.
II Morris OF your city. Mr.. Rose of this city.
deputy, and Mr.. Welsh Of Utica, are now the pro.
mlnent candidates for the clerkship.
Gov. Wright will, it is presumed, make new
adiutant general, Gen. Niven, the present incum-
care about the ofiice-Mr. II. L. Temple, OF this
city, will receive the appointment. Mr. Temple is
a fine, intelligent, gentlemany young man was
formerly OF the army married wealthy, and lives
in handsome style, and has done much, personally
and pecuniarily, for the party. He was candl-
date, not personally, but by his friends, to Gov.
Bouck for the same place; Gov. b however, APP
pointed his son-in-law, and thereby incurred the
first Of the successful hostility of the Atlas clique
Navigation on the canal will probably terminate
to-day, but it is said that there very few boats
on the way, as nearly all the goods for the west
were despatched In season.
Mr. Joseph Burke, better known as Master
Burke, who has been residing here for several
years as teacher Of music and student at law,
Is about to visit Europe to complete his musical
education, especially on the violin. Many of the
dietanti, place him between Vieux Temps and
Artot, and think, in a few years, he will equal il
not surpass the former. He has complimentary
concert on Thursday, which will be most crowd
ed affair, for Burke Is very great favorte with
the elite OF society here. Phillips gave two concerts
here last week, with fair houses, nothing more.
The Swiss Bell Ringers have also given two exhi-
biti0ns, with solsh success Our tneatricals
