Nkw roRK, Oct. 2, 1876
The news was received in town last evening by
telegraph, Of the nomination Of Mr. Wright on the
hrst ballot by ll2 out OF 1876 votes and then unaa-
na0usi according to usage, and ofJudge Gardiner as
lieutenant governor, by reclamation. The conven-
ton was very full only two members OF the whole
number having failed to vote. Much time Was con-
sumed N deciding the claims Of the opposing
delegations from Albany, Oneida and Madi-
son counties. This task, in the highest degree
delicate and difficult, discharged by the conven-
ton, seems TO be generally felt, with the fullest
reference, not less TO the interests Of the democratic
psrty, than to the rights Of the tganls,

The National Inelligencer, or it's affiliated presses,
may attempt to play the same game during the
present war, as the British presses did during the
war of 1912. They may strike at our re-
sources. The Intelligcncer may persuade Mex
leo not TO yield, because, though sho be des-
titute of money, our own treasury may soon
be exhausted. This insidious scheme for keep
ing up the spirits Of the enemy, is only cal
cuated to deceive Mexico. We want no sins,os of
war, either in the treasury, or in the field. We
have more than four millions of our surplus left,
besides than eight millions of treasury notes
to issue. Here are more than twelve millions to 20
upon, to support the expenses Of the war. Long
before it has run out, we may be in possession of
more than half of Mexico; and thus present the
strongest motives TO her people to call upon their
government to yield to our terms, and to terminate
the war. The wing presses may deceive Mex leo
to her ruin, If she be mad enough to hearken to
their councils.

The wing prophets are fast losing all thsr repu-
taton for sagaeity. Mr. Webster sounded the
ominous note of "repeal" before the tariff bill had
passed. and predicted nothing but disaster and ruin
to the country from its enactment. His panic cries
have turned out to be idle eremiads. Mr. Clay
then appeared, 10 his prophets robe, to predict that
the repeal Of the British corn-laws would scarcely
contribute to take off our breadstufs and to relieve
our farmers and that our new revenue law would
pour many foreign goods into our markets as to
compel US to pay for them with specie, and thus
subject us to all the dstresses which its expectation
generally produces. This vaticinalion of Mr..
Clay is every way unfortunate. Compare his fan
eies with the following tacs they are set forth in
the "New York Sun" of yesterday mornings
"SrIRRiNG NEWS FROM ABRoAD.-Our advces by
the Great Western are Of the highest importance to
this country. There is an unprecedented demand for
american grain -four, and provisions, in consequence
Of the failure OF the potato crop throughout the
whole Of Europe. Indian and other grains are
also partial failure in the countri>s bordering on
the Black sea, whence England has drawn supplies
in former years. These events, with the demand
existing in England for cotton, which is also adj
vancng in price, cannot fail 10 increase the prosperity
Of the people Of this country. The balance Of trade is
now in our favor; and we may look for impordtions
Of specie into this country from England in the course
of few months, provided our exports Of flour and
grain not interrupted. Money is very abundant
in England. Government proposes to cxpcnd fifty
millions Of dollars on railroads and other sate works
in Ireland, to afford employment for the poor. The
Bank of England is loaning money freely at three
per cent. per annum; and on every hand, notwith-
standing the apprehended scarcity Of food there

UNION AND HARMONY.-SILAS WRIGHT OUR
NEXT GOVERNOR.
As we expected, the nomination Of Silas Wright
has been unanimously made. We stated Yesterday
that more than one hundred out of the one hundred
and twenty-eight delegates, were the warm friends
of Sas Wrights denomination. The democratic
party is united party and there will be no dssenp
sions in our ranks. We 90 into the canvass with a
certainty of success, and with one of the pures men
and ablest statesmen IN the country at tho head of
our ticket
The nomination of Mr.. Wright is an evidence of
determination on the part of the true friends of
democratic reform and democratic progress, not to
desert those who have proved true 10 the principles
of democracy. The unanimity with which he was
nominated shows how weak and few were those
who opposed him. We were satisfied that the intel
igent and honest portion of the democracy of this
State were strongly in favor of Sias Wright's re-
nomination, though we were also aware that an
organized and skilfully directed movement, on the
part Of few who opposed him, was in active onsra
ton. Seeing all this, and believing that the best
interests of the democratic party and its princjpea
were in jeopardy, we boldly came out in his favor
Therefore, we feel doubly grati6ed at the resuItit
is just aa we predcted--and we predict now that
his reelection is almost matter of certainty. We
do not exaggerate when we say to our friends. and
our opponents also, that Silas Wright will be elect
ed by 10000 majority over all opposing candidates.
