View York state Electon-The Results and
Its Consequences.
The returns of the election from the last twenty
oeunnes received, have changed the aspect Of af-
fairs which the previous returns indicated Nearly
every politician on Wednesday evening seemed to
admit the election of Seymour, the democratic
candidate for Governor but a few hours turned
iAe tatles, and We are now enabled TO present re-
ported maores from all the counties in the State,
except three, which, we think, may in the main be
Iehed upon. If correct, or nearly so, they settle
The question of the election Of Governor in favor
81 Washington Hunt, the wing candidate, by
very small majority probably about one thousand.
With regard to the Lieutenant Governor, il is diff
heuit 10 form an opinion but our impressions are
,hs the extra vote obtained for Mr. Cornell in this
atty and other places where the Union ticket has
teen supported will not be sufficient TO overbalancs
ihe inti.Tept and abolition vote given TO the demo-
cratic candidate, Sanford E. Church, in the interior
Of the State.
Mr.. Blakely, the wing candidate for Canal Com
missioner, was adopted by the anti-renters, but
lhere is very little probability of his election In
deed, if Mr.. Hunt is elected Governor, the chances
are that he is the only wing on the State ticket
who is not defeated.
The wings entered into the gnbernatorial cleo
democrats. While the candidate of the latter was
tat little known to the people, having only
appeared in public life as a member Of the
Assembly, and Speaker of that quickly forgotten
body, for one session-the wing candidate was
known throughout the State having been last year
slected Comptroller; previous to which, he had
been conspicuous member of Congress from the
Niagara district. lie had been at one time a de-
Yvnrtaf then a and GnalIy u,h;, of
the modern school, retaining throughout his poll
Ical changes great personal popularity with all
classes of the people. AS the first financial officer
al the state, and member Of the Canal Board, the
name of Washington Hunt had become as familiar
a. household words, in every city, town, village
and hamlet in the State, and along the borders of
,he canals and railroads; and when, by general
consent Of the wings, he was presented as their
candidate for Governor, thousands were prepared
70 echo his name from every hill and valley TO ex
iol him as a second Citation and TO urge his election
as important to the interests of the State.
The democratic party labored under the dis
advantages Of an imperfect union Of the hunk
,Is and Landowners, as was shown by their
partial defeat at the election last year, and
great jealousy was felt between the two
sections of the party Under these circumstances,
and from the known anti-slavery feeling of the
people OF the central and western counties of the
STATE, which had been turned in favor of the
Seward section OF the whigs, who form the vas,
majority Of that party, very few judges of public
opinion entertained any serious expectation of the
election Of Seymour, after the nomination of Hunt
and his associates on The wing State ticket had
zen confirmed by the convention of national
wings al Utica.
The remarkable run Of Seymour throughout the
State, therefore, has astenished our politicians,
and many who desired his election as demonsira-
tion against abolition, now doubtless regret that
they had not joined the Union commercial move
ment at Castle Garden, which has nearly, If no,
quite, poved successful. That movement was
commenced week or two too late to ensure sue
cess but those engaged ia it, well as others, can
NO, now fail TO see that had this city given the
majority for Seymour that was expected from that
eperauon-say five thousand, instead Of the mea-
gre one thousand il receiyed-ihe Union ticket
would have been entirely successful in the State,
and the influence ct This city felt for long time TO
cone, as counierpoise to the sntirent and aboli-
ion vote Of the interior. As IL is, this demonstra
lion Of the Union may operate adyantigsously, by
show ing that there is importint balance Of poll.
ticsi power resting in this city, to be called into
action on some future occasion.
With regard to the operations Of the National
wings, or "Siver Grays," as they have been
dubbed by the Hon Francis Granger, one Ct their
Iesders, we cannot yet discover them In this con-
t-si even while the smoke il clearing away, eNceP;
a. auxiliary 10 the Seward section Of their party,
whose nominations they have echoed, by giving
them increase msiortes in counties supposed
20 be under their influence, unaffected by the
IL. L. - 49,
bers will be too nconsiderabe in the ranks Of their
associates to enable them 70 exercise any contro
in appointments, or otherwise; and i is difficult 70
perceive " hat movement ihey can now make, to
preserve distinctive character save themselves
from sinking into insignifcance.
What effect this election will have upon the
great question Ct union or dsunion, remains to be
seen our impressions are that il will have a ten.
dency to excite and encourage the disunionisis Of
the South to further attempts at secession and agi-
taiion against the North.
