"To-morrow-ay, tomorrow" Tomorrow will
see the sharpest contest New York State has wit
messed since the great struggle of 1874, Now that
the publication oPsuch opinion in the columns of
the Union cannot influence the election one way or
the other, may express the opinion that if we
carry the State, we shall have right to be CRATE
full. II would be difficult to conceive of a much
worse state of things existing in a still democratic
State. portion of our party, too large and nauen-
tal to be spared, does not conceal its indifference
or hostility to our nomination for governor; one
whole senate district, (the anti-rent) which, in
1874, gave Mr. Wright nearly $500 majority, is
more likely to give 900 against him. than I'M
der IT; in many of our strongest counties--Che-
mung, for instance-split tickets are in the field.
All over the State it as if some natuation had
possessed friends to put forward their very most
unpopular men, The operation of the license law is
against us in many Of our best counties, as Suf-
folk, Rockland, and so on; to say nothing of the
effect produced by the result in Pennsy lvania
unporfectly understood as it is through the State.
! repeat, we go into the fight under the most
dishear,enng circumstances; and while | hope and
believe that Mr.. Wright will be elected his de-
feat will surprise me but little. His success he
will owe to that large sober, and rejecting class
who are seldom heard Of, except at the polls, and
who have settled confidence in his wisdom and
soundness as statesman and magistrate. That
we hope for success all, is the best proof Of what
his friends so often assert that he is fur the strong
est man in the State. .r. 'r ..,o

The National Intelligencer may find in the follow

Young, the wing candidate for governor some aid

whgery with aboltonism. II is taken from the
Albany Evening Journal--a pretty good guarantee
for its accuracy:
Extract from the speech of John Young, in re-

posed amendments Of the constitution. In Assem-

tleman, and do not know but what he may call me

hension of danger from the enlargement Of suffrage
Neither do know any reason why the color of the
skin should determine the right of a man to VOTE
nor how far that principle should be applied to the
Anglo-Saxon race, and how little unge there must
be in the skin before a is allowed to vote. IL
