TO The editor n The Union:
The primary elections 10 be held to-morroW) are
interesting the democracy Of our city and county to
degree rarely witnessed in our fall eampsigns
We choose tomorrow, 10 the various wards and dis
tric,s, the committees 10 nominate candidates TO be
supported at the coming election for the otiees of
governor and lieutenant governor of the State, one
State senator, four members OF Congress, sixteen
members Of assembly, the lucrative county offices
Of sheriff. county elsrh, and coroner. The heat Of
the contest is, however, concentrated on the four
members Of Congress. The candidates are hume
rous and strongi Ia the 81 (now represented by
W. s. MeT Isaac v. Fowler, Alderman Hart,
Alderman Charliek, Alderman Purser; in the 4th,
| w. B. Mselay, (the pr esent member Alderman
Messenole, Alderman Smith, Alderman Pearee; in
the 5th, (Woodrfs,) d. @. Broderek, Mark
! Spencer, c. p. Van Ness, (ex-coIlectoT) in the
: 9th, (Campbelps,) Chas. o'Conor, Alderman Walk
or, Samuel J. Tdsn, e. Gillender, r. B. Boyd,
&c. have placed them just about their chances
stand, al this present writing; though is possible
that in more than OF the districts man, not
yet named, will be the regular candidate. IL is in
politics as on the turf, "dark horse often wins
the prize. If the wings and natives run separate
tickets las they give out they willy we shall carry
every district and whether or not, all but the 5h-
perhaps-whieh Is hard "natIve" hole. The del
egates to Syracuse will, presume be all-excePt,
possibly, one or Two, not nore-instfucted for Mr..
Wright.
The whig ticket for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor received in town this morning from Utica by
telegraph, is John Young, Of Livingston county,
and Hamilton Fish, late M. c., from Ihs city. Mil
lard Fillmore, q hsar,) the candidate Of the chunk
er" wings, led Young (who is the candidate Of the
Weed and Greeley whigs) on the FIRST two ballots,
but on the third the Harris (anti-ren) delegates
threw in for Young and nominated him Fish was
then nominated as aee-ofierng to the defeated
"hunEsrs." II is therefore a compromise ticket
made up to combine the whole party. But it will
DO beaten, snd-mark the word l--by a majority
larger than most people expect.
The Maine election is hailed by the whgs as
great trumt h, though their candidate for governor
is left in minority Of fourteen thousand. They
are easily pleased.
The articles on the State finances reported by Mr.
Hoffman have been adopted by our State conven
Iion with but litte material alteration. Taking i
for granted that the constitution presented by the
convention will be adopted, thus, | hope, will bt
set at rest the question which, than any othei
one question, has divided and embarrassed the dem
ocratc party in this State. shall not omit TO give
an analysis Of this important reform.
Governor Wright left town last evening after
stay of some days here and in the neighborhood

rived.
