New YoRk. NOVEMBER IA, 1915.


The result of the late election in the State of New
York presents a new aspect in the affairs OF the
Locofoco party. Hitherto the old HunkerS,"
with despotc sway, have controlled the destiny Of
the offce-holders and ofliceseekers. Hope delayed
maketh the heart sick. Some OF the disappointed,
and many of the expectants, during the last twelve
months have exhibited strong symptoms of rebel
lous spirit. While these feelings were fast ripen-
ing, Col. SAMUEL YouNG, an influential and talent
ed /" Brn-buner,'' was unceremoniously thrust
from the Office of Secretary Of State This was the
signal for action. Mr. YOUNG, be it known to you,
is one of the most thorough Jewellers in the State.
On the Destructives he relies for his support.
After Mr.. Young's dismissal from the office OF
Secretary his friends commenced rally for him
as a member Of the Senate His nomination was
opposed by the same section of the Locofoco party
that produced his removal But the Convention
nominated him, and that being done, the $ Barn
burners in every section of the State !" beat to
quarters" He was elected to the Senate. and, by
combination Of odds and ends of every faction
with the :. Barn-burners number of that class of
politicians were elected TO The House of Represen
tatiyes TITS now a matter of doubt whether the
q Old Hunkers'' or the . Barn-burners" have the
greatest number of members IN the Legislature
Each claims the ascendency. heiiere' l.e--e'er,
that the Old Hunkers'' have II. But, at the same
time, as the g Barn-burners'' are the most reck-
or ruin.
Every thing indicates violent collision in the ranks
of the party on the meeting Of the Legislature No
thing can prevent il but unconditional surrender
of profit and pocer by the I" Old Hunkers' TO the
rival faction, which is sometimes termed the
Young Deuaocrarg,'' of which faction, already
remarked, the old Senator is an efficient member.
The Wings in the Legislature are a numerous
and highly respectable party they will possess the
~ anI oh
evil The danger is, that they will unite with one
or the other faction in the promotion of Loco
foco measure, TO which measure no section of the
Wings can ever give their sanction; and which sup
port will only be given by Wing Representative
on the ground of Furnishing those who merit pun
ishment If there is dssension or division among
ourselves, then say, every thing for Cancellation,
harmony, and union; but rallying under the
banner of the open enemy, in support OF his mea-
sures, with the vain and visionary hope that we
may thus obtain an ephemeral triumph. Such ar
rangements and such triumphs are never-failing
sources Of deep modification and disappointment
sometimes of political ruin to party. Such, how
ever, the perilous situation of the Wings in the
Legislature.
Among other intrigues afoat is one in relation TO
the Convention soon to be chosen TO revise the
constitution of the State. By the provisions of the
law, each county may elect its members from any
other county that il deems expedient. Already are
certain .7,aRenters, in this city, intriguing with
gentlemen of their own cloth in Anti Rent counties,
to become the representatives of such counties in
the Convention.

given offence its venerable Editor, and that he IS
in consequence thereof disposed TO have tilt.
Now, am not; but, II / were, should hesitate

age. Perhaps we shall both be more comfortable

The Anti Renters are actively engaged in pro-
curing signatures to petition for the commuiaton
Of the punishment Of STEENBERG and O'CoNNER,
the murderers. Their advocates contend that no
harm was intended when they loaded their muskets
with balls or sugs and went disguised to the place
where the murdered officer was performing his duty

The Buffalo Courier appears TO be at loss TO
Mr. PoLK's policy in reference to Oregon. Not
withstanding the long and labored articles of the
organ the Courier contends that the policy OF the
Executive on this subject has not yet been de-
veIofed nor will il be until the Presidential mes
sage TO Congress shall have been delivered. The
Courier it is suspected, clearly perceive thai
the people are not prepared TO plunge into desc
lating war; which can be avoided by discreet nego
tiaton, without idle menace gasconade The
Courier says; I" For our own part, we have so much
confidence in the prudence of Colonel Polk, as no
to apprehend that he will take any position in his
message calculated to precipitate hostilities.

secure second election TO the Presidency. Why
