The political campaign has fairly opened in
New York. On Tuesday week last the Old
Hunkers met in Convention at Syracuse. and
nominated candidates for the State Offices
The Bsrnburners will soon follow the example
and the Wing Convention was fixed for yes.
terday. the 18th inst. AS yet it is not ascer-
tanned whether the Abolitionists power will
present regular ticket. In any event, there
will be three formal nominations in the field
and doubtless the Wing candidates will be
chosen by heavy majorities. Governor Young
Hon. Washington Hunt, Hon. Hamilton Fish
and Mr.. Patterson, are among the most prom
inent names on the Wing side for Governor.
