The Fall Comprehensive Parties In the
Field.


he funniest and the most exciting struggles
ever witnessed in this State. For the last
six weeks, each of the five parties who
have entered for the race, has been engaged in
hunting up its most available men, canvassng
voters, polling its strength, abusing its opponents
through its own particular organ, and, through
the same trump of fame" apotheosizing its
own candidate, whom the said organ presents for
the universal admiration of mankind las a sort OF
concentrated essence of all the virtues and graces
that edorn mankind.
Its really curious TO observe the course of any of
these party prints at the eve of election. How it
frets and fumes, and swears that the country is
ruined unless that man, above all other men, its
own candidate, ,(whom il has, in all probability,
abused within few months with all the virll-
lence and slang of the fish markeO be elected to
office! How its put tersout oburgatons on all who
differ from it in the least particular How ready
IL is in giving the lie to any statement that all
bears hard upon any man OF its party, and how
unblushingly it will make reservations amount
ing, in effect, to declaration that black is white
and white is black 1t is, therefore, highly anus
ing TO read the organs of the different parties in
this State about this time and to note the abuse,
scurrility, vituperation, lies, humbug, barney,
fusome laudation, and arrant nonsense with
which they filled.
Each of the five parties, wings, democrats, ma
tives, abolitionists, and anti.renters, ha made
its nominations for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, all of which we give with the exception
of tho native nominee for Governor that indiv.
dual being kept from public view, for what rea-
son we know not, unless il be to produce him on
the day of election, for the sake of effect or some-
thing else.

John Young will, doubtless, draw out the entire
strength of his own section of the wing party; but
there is very considerable portion OF the party
who cannot swallow him, even with fish sauce.
In fact, the conservative wings are vehementy
opposed to him, more especially as he is known
TO favor the doctrines of the anti-renters. This
tendency of his becomes more apparent from the
fact. that he is taken up as the candidate of the
anti-renters for Governor. That portion OF the
wing party known as the Scott wings, will either
throw away their votes, or throw them for the ma
tive candidate, whoever he may be. The anti
rent vote will scarcely counter balance the loss of
the Scott wing and native votes, and there is,
therefore, scarcely possibility of John Young
being elected. But stranger things have occurred
The democrats have wisely taken our advice,
healed all their difficulties, shaken hands like
brothers, and now present an unbroken front to
the enemy. The wranging which prevailed be-
fore the nomination of Silas Wright has entirely
ceased since that event. The utmost unanimity
now prevails, where before there was nought
will poll as large vote as he did in 1874, but
we are confident, notwithstanding, that he stands
the best chance of election. The journals that
have been his biterest opponents, have, since his
nomination, given in their adherence, and with
that steadfast discipline which has always ce-
mented the party have united, if not cordially, at
least with an appearance of cheerfuness, in sup
port of the nominee. They have become news
paper Oily Gammons.
This perfect discipline is one of the most re-
markable features of the democratic party The
wings have often attempted to acquire it, but al
ways without success. We have again and again
endeavored to impress upon the wings the neces-
sity of union, but they have always been either too
stupid too headstrong (they call it intelli-
gence) to adopt our counsel. They will
now reap the consequences, and we scarcely
bic all the time that the enemy is banding together
his forces and taking measures to ensure victo-
ry. We have again and again enaeavored, by
mild reproof to win them to forget their differen-
ces, even for time, and to attend to the common
interests, instead of calling each OTHER hard names
They have the strength in the State but they
lack the tact which the huge paws possess
But our advice has been thrown away. We now
wash hands of all responsibility so far as our
guardianship Of the wing party is concerned, and
declare that we will be no longer sponsors. advis.

As for the natives, we do not know their can

The battle. If they succeed in making diversion

with their principles, it is the most they can ex-

wings.
VI the abclitlonists, we have only to say that
they are in bad odor, as they always have been,
with the public, and their hopes are about as for
