The FAN Election In this State.


lions for the nomination Of officers to be elected
on the first Of November next, is near at hand,
and the hustle and preparation for the event have
bren distinctly heard, throughout the State. for
some time past. The democrats will hold theirs
at Syracuse on Wednesday next, and the wings
theirs on the sixth of October at the same place.
Nominations are 10 be made for the following
offices-
Conn troiler Canal Commissioners.
Attorney General, inspectors of State Prisons.
A. is generally the case, there six or eight
cand dates OF each party for each of these Offices
each of whom has his particular claim for
the Office, and each of whom has more or less
popularity. The democrats, it is supposed, will
have great difficulty in making nominations that
will be acceptable to the party at large, in conse-
quence of the desire for one portion of them to
have new men, and of another to retain the cd
men. The cause of this trouble can be traced TO
craving for pap by some hungry ofice-seekers
who have looked, with longing eyes and watery
mouths in vain, for number of years, for offices,
as rewards for the time and labor they have
spent in the cause of their party. They have
tasted so long that they are become desperate.
In this election the people will probably be
called Upon to elect Lieutenant Governor in
place of Mr.. Gardiner, who has been elevated to
the bench. A bill for that purpose passed the
lower house Of the Legislature on Saturday last,
and it will probably be passed In the Senate to-
Day or tomorrow, in time for the democrats to
nominate a candidate at their convention on
Wednesday.
The result of the approaching election will be
looked forward to with much interest by all
parties, in every State of the Union. In view
OF the effect it will exercise the Presidential
election, the two parties will use every means
in their power to secure ne election of their
own candidates. The ST. .ggle will, without
doubt, be one of the fercest that ever took place
In this State.
We shall report progress, and give the names
Oft candidates as soon as they are nominated.

he would improve the condition of Ecuador, and
indeed the whole of Central America.
