THE DAILY UNION.
YORK ELECTION.


The election in the Empire State takes place Oh
Tuesday next Il excites the greatest attention in
both parties The democrats feel the deepest anxi-
ETY. in the success Of Mr.. Wright He is one of the
most distinguished and accomplished statesmen in the
country His success the present OCCASION too, is
intimately identified with the prosperity of the repub
ican party. The wings are sparing no efforts to
defeat him. They are moving heaven and earth to
effect their object. They are enlsting naliyists,
anti-renters, the odds and ends Of all parties
y their point The interests Of the republican par
" and its principles, of the whole country, are
therefore connected with his triumphant reelection.
IL is great party movement, and nothing but this
consideration could induce US 70 open our lips, with
all due respect upon the subject. Those who are
not for Mr.. Wright, against their party. Ii is
idle TO talk about the cques which have divided
New York. IL is silly to attempt TO mysdfy us by
descantng on old hunkes and barn-burners. 1t is
worss than idle parade at this eleventh hour and
in public and elaborate form, the bill of complaints
which any Of the old hunkers may sttempt TO bring
up, at this time against the bsrnburners, with the
view Of Disgusting their disafecton. Are you with
or against the whgs' Will you directly or indirect.
" cooperate with them by not voting for Mr..
Wright, is now the question: We shall hope that no
democrat nNew York win coItgs p that he was in.
ured months ago by this or that neglect by the
barn-burners (as the cant runs) voting agains
the delegates who claimed seats in some common
convention of the republican party. The republ.
cans at disanee cannot enter into the merits Of these
complaints. But they see how noble it is to aaeri-
fee their private feelings the altar OF their eoua-
try-to 20 for the Acknowledged nominee and can
didae Of the party, because in his success is deeply
interviewer the fate Of party and ofour country;
because to visit upon Mr.. Whght's head some al.
legged wrong Of some Of his friends is in fact to in
jure the republic itself
Can any republican in New York sec the efforts
which are making by the wings to carry their man,
and the coalitions Of all sorts Of elements 10 de-
feat US, and yet not discard all minor
griefs, and unite with their brethren to maintain
the great principles which they have so long as.
serteG Many OF them have b,sn devoted to the
party. They have served their country. Their
own reputation is identified with that great party
and their imperishable principles. Will they now
consult the feelings Of the moment, and sacrifice
iOi
The fedsralists are using every species Of manGu.
vre to deceive the people. Among other humbugs,
they are propagating the misrepresentation that the
administration is Indifferent TO or opposed to Mr..
Wright; and il is but this morning we see in New
York paper schedule of the cabinet divided among
the friends and the opponents Of the accomplished
New York statesman. In justice to the cause Of
truth, we pronounce this to be unjust and untrue.
The wishes OF the administration are strongly, de-
cidedly with Mr.. Wnght and they think any of
their friends are paying a very poor compliment to
them, who suppose them capable Of entertaining
any but the sineerest wishes for his election. We
speak what know; but we speak it for ourselves,
for what is due to Mr.. Wright, what is due ts the
republican party, and not because authorized
by any Of them n make this public declaration Of
the wishes Of the administration. One Of our corre-
spondcnts of New York sees the rocks which are
strewn beneath the surface Of the water. He admits
the danger from the of the s,,reniers and Of
those whose interest may be ufeoied by the re-eIec
ton of Mr.. Wright bu, he calculates upon his sue
cess. He says:
81 believe as truly as believe the Sd of Noyem-
Der will arrive that Sas Wright will be reelected;
u 10 uuo lhat WIN DC large, not
a tithe of what such man should receive; but IL
WiA be enough to cover with confusion lhe open,
prohi gate foe and the insdous opponent, Who would
stab his party in the dark. | have not alluded to
nativism--the candidate of this party is Judge
Edwards, man of pure character, and respectable
attainments He will get in this city about IL 500
votes; John Young about Is ,500 and Sias Wright,
% 900. Still this may only be on approximat on
10 the result, The general impression is that Wright
will have 5000 to 1000 majority over Young.
have estimate that gives Wright in the first
senatorial district, 5000 majority second 1850;
fifth, 1900. Wings in the third senatorial district,
$50; fourth, $50; sixth, $50; seventh ESQ., and
eighth, 4,600. This would elect Wright by $3.50
majority; and am disposed to place confidence IN
it, Of course our opponents figure very differently.
II there be in this estimate, it is in allowing
the wings 80 large majority in the eighth senato-
rial district. We shall probably gain three con-
gressmen in this city, though throughout the State,
we may lose some. The aboltionists will poll about
as many votes the na,ivcs--say Is 600; and the
legislature is doubtful. We shall know more next
week than this but 'as guess" the result will be
pretty much as here stated"
