The Fall Eiection-The Hunkers md the
Landowners.
AS the time appointed for the holding of the fall
election in this State approaches, the desire of the
rank and file of the two factions into which the de-
smocrauc party is divided, to be united, seems to
increase. This is very natural, under the circum-
stances for both are very hungry at the present
time, and, unless they succeed at the coming cleo
ZION, they will be deprived of pap for much longer
lime than they are accustomed to. Indeed, so
weak and emaciated have they become by their
involuntary abstinence, that we doubt whether
they could keep alive another year, unless they get
pull from the public treasury, or sop from the
political kitchen. The desire for union is, therefore,
easily accounted for.
But this is not the only ground on which such
pnion is desired.
The result the ensuing election with an M
p'rant influence politics and parties, not only in
{ S, but Other States as well, especially in those
which have hitherto been democratic. IL the demo-
eras unite, end succeed in carrying the election,
The political character of the State will be changed,
and an emollent applied to the disputes between
the democrats in other parts OF the country. At
this election, the people will be called upon to vote
for Comptroller, Secretary Of State, Attor-
ney General, State Engineer and Surveyor,
Treasurer, Judge Of the Court OF Appeals,
Canal Commissioner, State Prison Inspector, an
entire new Senate Of thirty members, and House
Of Assembly of one hundred and twenty.eight.
These, however, are independent fthe city tickets,
the whole comprising a vast amount oil political
influence and patronage, and a very handsome
fund OF plumber 10 the successful party. Is il any
wonder, then, that the barnbumers and hunkers
are DESTROYS Of presenting unbroken front,
and bringing all their forces into the field al
the coming election, when such vast prize
elftens before their eycsl We spprehend that
that much abused but much talked OF COM
modify, principle, would be thrust aside by any
political 1ariy that ever existed, for even one
half Of the power, and patronage, and Office that
will be the spoils OF the successful party the cleo
lion that viii take place in November next. We
do not mean the masses-tor we believe the
rank and file Of all parties are honest-but we al
lude TO the leaders-he wire. pullers, the men be-
hind The scenes, who rule and lead them, and even
save them The trouble Of selecting candidates for

NCihiag towards union or harmony having re-
suited from the convention and conference at
Rene, new attempt at reconciliation was thought
Of Accordir ely, the LunkeTs held a separate con-
ytLGon, shot time since for the nomination Of
State candidaies-a list Of whom they put before
the public, with the inlimation that one.half OF
iht m might be repudaied by the barnburaers, and
candidates OF their selection substituted, II
they, the barnbumcrs, were disposed to take that
oourse in order TO bring about reconciliation,
far as the State ticket ives concerned, under the
impression, no doubt, that il harmony and uaiied
sciion were secured IN that respect, the movement
would be followed on the local tickets
We shall soon know whether this effort Of the
hnnkers will succeed or not.
The barnburners will meet in convention in
Itica tomorrow, and in a day or two after
wsrts We shall be informed of what their
Vi VS. are. This il the second attempt at reunion
that has been made but if that fail, 90 pairi-
otto are both factions, end go eager are they

Office, that siill another attempt at reunion
will be made on the Iith inst. at Syracuse.
On that day democratic Union Convention
will meet at that place, which will undertake the
patriotic duty oil soldering the two factions to-
gether, IN case the barabuiners do not sdop, the
course left open TO them BY the hunkers. If the F,
