To- morrow is the New York State Election
for county officers and the State Legislature, and
we shall feel no surprise if the Wings carry The
State! Ir their strength were united and con-
densed, we should feel strong conviction that
they would do so As il is, such result is not
impossible by sny means, and if defeated, will
probably DO de ieated by Wing squabbles in the
city Of New York, where new political sects are
eternally springing up, ever TO the prejudice Of
the Wing cause, and always to the advantage Of
Locofocoism, which remains combined by the
cohesive power Of the public plumber
