The Election I'm New York.
The general election takes place in this State
to-day, beginning with sunrise, and ending at sun
down. and embracing President Congressman,
Governor, State Senators and Assemblymen II
1t Is one OF the greatest and most important elec-
tons that has ever taken place in this city 81
State. The excitement producedis extraordinary
With respect to the city, only two important
parties come into the feld-the American Demo
Gratis. with their candidates, and the "American
hepuohcans; Tor 1t is singular fact, that during
the last few days, the old Wing party have all bu,
entirely abandoned their own tickets and lhell
own organization. The confused and misty con.
oluon OF things In this city, as to what may proba-
bly, be the result, is well known to the community
ana 10 the Country. The great fermentation of a
local, az well as of general character, which ha.
taken place in New York during the last few years,
has now been brought almost TO head, and We
are at last presented with new party under the
name Of american Republicans" entirely abb
abandoned their own standard, with large
portion OF the Democrats. The election, therefore
with regard 10 members of Congress and Assem-.
bly,, has been generally conceded to the American
Republicans; but the fermentation urlpg the last
few days, and the symptoms are of such contra
dictory character, that we begin to doubt what the
result will be- We think 1t is altogether uncertain
as to who will have the majority in New York
Tonight will tell the whole tale.
The mysterious character of the result in this
city is also heightened by the extreme closeness of
The Presidential contest throughout the country
II Is now generally believed that although the re-
cent results from Pennsylvania give preponde-
rance to Mr. Folks chances yet that this city will
decide the State, and that the latter will decide
the question of the Presidency. Hence arises the
unprecedented excitement at present prevalent in
this city and State. We trust, however, that what
ever may be the result, the peace of the city may
be preserved, and that no collision will take place,
and no obstruction be offered to prevent fair and
impartial decision at the ballot boxes.
We shall give tomorrow morning full report of
the election in this city, which may possibly de-
eide the question of the Presidency.
SERMONS AND CHURCHES. We gave in our
columns yesterday, very interesting report of the
religious services and sermon at ST. Patrck's Ca
thedral on Sunday last, and we continue, in this
days paper, the reports of the sermons in three
other churches-St. Pauls, the Church of the
Messiah, and DIR. Springs. Accompanying these
sermons in our weekly edition, we mean to pre-
sent beautiful engravings of the edifces in which
they were delivered; in the same way as we ser
we'd up to our readers the Church of ST. Thomas
Indeed, that novel effort, IN the way of reporting
religious services, and accompanying the report
with good engraving ofthe church, has been ap-
proved OF SO much by all classes, and all sects that
we mean to follow it up after the election is over,
and we have quiet times, until every church in the
city has had pictorial representation in the
columns of our weekly paper.
1t is well known to the moral and religious por-
ton OF the community, that in the hundred churches
open in this city every Sabbath, discourses of
the most eloquent and interesting character are FIRE
quenily delivered-but which, in consequence of
their not being reported, are confined to the COM
paratively very limited audience to whom they are
addressed. As. for insrance,we learn from morn
ing contemporary that on last Sabbath very
important sermon, constituting a species of re-
ply to the discourse Of Major Noah, on the
restoration of the Jews, was delivered at the
University Chapel, by DR.. Potts. Had we
known that such thing was in contempla-
ton, we should have had the discourse re-
ported at full length in our paper yesterday NOR
ming, as to bring to bear on that important
subject of the restoration of the Jews, all the
intellect and talent available. The sermon
delivered in st. Pau's, which we report, has some
bearing on the recent controversylabout Puseyism;
and we understand that in the afternoon another
discourse OF a similar tendency was delivered in
the same church. All these facts, therefore, show
that it is time for the press-an independent and
honest presto unite with the various religious
societies of the present day, with reference to
tarianism, for the purpose OF endeavorlng to pro-
mote the spread of morality and religion, by the
circulation of whatever IS good, impressive, and
edifying in the discourses delivered at our various
churches. And why should we not Surely such
publications are likely to be at least as important
and beneficial in their influence, as the reports
which we are in the habit OF making of trials 10
the courts Of law, and sketches of police, which
are sometimes esteemed OF doubtful utility. This
subject is one which deserves good deal of con-
sderation
ABOLITION AND FINAL EXTINCTION OF THE WING
PARTY!-The Courier f. Enquirer of yesterday
morning-a journal which first officiated at the
BIRTH and baptism ofthe wing party, has now, after
a somewhat eventual existence of few years
pronounced the funeral Grafton over the remains
of that organization, and screamed sort of re-
QUEEN over its grave, in long manifesto,
giving up every thing, and going over, bag and bag
gage, to the American Republicans. Here is. an
extract from the long manifesto to which we
allude,-
