The APPROACHING ELEcrIoN.-The several
parties in this State are armed and ready for the
contest which will take place in this State the
day after Tomorrow, Tuesday, between sunrise
and sunset. The wings are united and sanguine
of success. The democrats, on the contrary, are
split and divided into factions, and feel despon-
dent. Their only hope is in electingthe Assem-.
bly, ticket.
We have rarely seen the democrats in such a
quandary as they are in at present. Hitherto
they have managed, by threats and promises, to
reconcile their differences before the eventful
hour of meeting their opponents; but all hope of
healing the breach now existing among them
seems to have fled, unless they take drink and
settle their troubles before sunset tomorrow
The barnburners have become desperate, and
seem determined to cut connection with the old
hunkers, and we look for some amusing scenes
between them hereafter.
The nominations of the wings, aboltionist.,
democrats, national reformers, &c., SC, are
made-they are probably as good as the gen.
eral run of nominations in these days. Our
voters can take their choice, and vote for such of
them as are, in their opinion, most competent to
fill the Offices for which they are nomina ted and
this we would encourage them to do We would
like to see some of the nominees of each party
elected, for experience has shown that when Of
fees OF trust and emolument are divided be-
tween rival parties, the duties appertaining to
them are better discharged than if they were
filled by nominees of but one

THK Navy OF THE UNITED STATES. -aWhen
the next Congress shall have convened, and v hen
our affairs with Mexico shall have been disposed
OF, whether for peace or a continuance Of the
war, we shall renew our appeals to our federal
Legislators to place our naval arm on more COM
prehensive and larger footing than it is in now,
ever, or has been.
That it is not adequate in time of peace TO
protect our commerce, or in time of war to re-
sst the fleets of the other great powers of
the world, is 4 proposition which our read
ers will agree with us in thinking needs no
proof The fact IL, unfortunately, too palpable.
Even in the war with Mexico, the inadequacy of
our navy has been fully manifested. Instead
ofhaving means at hand Gifts own for transport
ing troops to the enemy's country, our govern
| ment was obliged to go into the market
at time when freights were unusually
high, and charter merchant vessels at ruinous
charges. Indeed, it is pretty we'll ascer-
tanned that, several occasions, it paid rates of
freight which, in few months, would suffice to
purchase the same vessels. The money expend-
ed in the war would have gone good way in
increasing the navy, and placing the government
in an independent position.
If we were situated in this manner in war
with Mexico, how would it fare with us in
war with England, or any other of the great
European powers? How would we have been
situated in case we had had Mexico and Eng
land on our hands at the same time Such an
event, at one time, did not seem improbable.
In fact, it is pretty well known that Mexico de-
layed commencing hostilities, to the result of
our dispute on the Oregon question. She hoped
and expected that that would have led to hosti-
lities between the two countries. Such. how
ever, did not befall u.s.
We are directly at issue with France and Eng
land on the American balance Of power question.
Those powers have asserted principle which
we have never admitted, and which we have de-
cded upon not to admit-without regard to con-
sequences 1t is now incorporated with us, and
we cannot recede from the position we have ia
ken in regard to it, without disgrace. Until those
powers then recede, or until they shall have al
lowed it to slumber so long that it will, like the
principle of the right of search and impressment,
have become obsolete by iapsus temporis,we shall
be liable to war at any moment.
In the event of war, how would we stand,
promising that as recently as last summer, we
had not vessel to even return salute to that Of
a foreign ship of war that visited our harbor!
The following is a comparative view of the ma
vles of England and the United States
