PRosPECrs OF THE ELEcrIoN-MEMBERs OF Cox |
aAIss.=The election of the thirtyfour members |
of Congress to represent the State OF New York in
the next Congress, is perhaps the most important
point in the contest to be decided to-day. We
have published the nominations Of the wing and
democratic parties in the respective districts, and
now proceed to give the prospects of the csndi-
dates, as far as information on which we can
depend has reached US. We leave out of view
the four districts of this city, respecting which
opinions vary from day with regard to the result,
owing to the new combinations constantly form
ing, and the rapidity with which changes take
place in our ever varying population.
The election of democrats may be conceded in
the following districts, where the majority OF that
party is uniformly large, VIII
Dist Counties Democratic Nominees.
7-wsstohsstsr and Rookland, Abram. P: stevens.
9-Orsnge and Sullivan, William Murray.
lo-chnt1n, Franklin and Joseph Russell.
17-Herkimer ana Montgomery, Alex. II. Busl.
1S-et. Lawrence and Lewis, Preston King.
19-Jeferson, Willard Ives
2i-0tssgo and sohoharis, william W. Snow
The election of wings may also be conceded in
the following districts, where the wing majorties
are usually large, viz:
Dist. Counties. Wig Nominees.
2-Kipgs and Richmond, Obadiah Bovine.
l-WsshiDgton and Essex, John II. Boyd
lo-serssSss, Fulton Hamilton John Wells.
2S-Monroe, AM Sohermerhor
2s-ontsrio' and Livingston, Jsdsdish To.iord.
3l-Chautauuue and Cattsraugus Fred. g. Martin.
So Gsnssss and wyoming, A. P. Hssoal
34-Nisga CARA and Orleans, LorenEo Burrows.
In the districts which will be most contested, we
consider that the democrats have the best chance
in the following
Dist. Counties Nominees.
/ Suffolk and Queens, John q Floyd
S-Dutchess and Putnam, Gilbert Dean.
And the wings in the following districts;-
10-Ulster and Delaware, N. 6cnoonmaker.
11-Columbia and Greene, Edward 2. Cowles.
and Tos' E Msnsy Rs1 %ss.
s-Tonpiins, Chemuns Yates Us wslb asds
27-Wsyne and Seneca VIM eackett.
In the 10th aud Ilth districts the wings will be
assisted, as former occasions, by the anti-rent
votes; and in the other four OF the above districts
there is strong ant-slavery feeling operating in
favor of the wing candidates, which it is supposed
will effect their election.
With regard to the remaining districts, they are
considered doubtful by the best judges of politics
residing therein-hence the difficulty of forming
an opinion respecting them.
In the 18th district, Albany county, John
L. Schoolcraf, the present wing member, is oP-
posed by Erastus Corning, a strong conservative
or bunker democrat; and as John ]. Slingerland,
formerly member, will draw off part of the anti
rent vote, the democrats have confidence in the
election of Mr.. Coming, particularly as he will re-
ceive many wing votes. In the 18th district,
Rensselaer, county, the democrats have nominated
David L. Seymour, bunker, who is considered
strong man; while the wings have new candi-
date in Russell Sage. The latter will require part of
the antrent vote of the county to elect him. In the
10th district, Oneida county, the probabilities are
in favor of the election of Timothy jenkins, hun
ker, over o. B. Matteson, the present wing men,
Der, who is Objectionable to many Of the wings.
In the 23d district, Oswego and Madison, both Of
the candidates are favorable to the views of the
free soilers-viz, John Williams wing, and Lean
der Babcock, democrat; the probabilities are in
favor Of the election of the latter.
In the 9th district Onondaga, the chances
seem to favor the election of V. w. Smith, wing,
who is editor Of the Syracuse Journal; his replies
to the queries OF the ti-slavery men being more
satisfactory than those of his opponent, DIR. Daniel
T. Jones, who voted for Cass in lsis. hut CLAIMS
to b- free soiler. A large majority Of the demo-
| Gratis Of Onondaga voted for Van Durcn In ISIS,
and last year the combined democratic forces had
only majority of Is over the wings in the coun-
ty The 3Oth district, Steuben and Allegheny gave
democratic majority last year of 9o2 on the State
ticket; but such is the state Of feeling between the
hupkers and barnburners, that the wings entertain
a strong confidence in carrying the district. The
nominees are, Philip Church, jr., wing, and Reu-
ben Robe, barnburner democrat.
In the LIST district, Suffolk and Queens, much
dissatisfaction is felt among the bunker democrats
at the nomination of Charles A. Floyd, barnburner.
Hence, many democrats avow their Intention of
voting for Judge Rose, the wing candidate-but
Mr. Floyds chance is still the best for election.
| ona view of the whole ground, il seems certain
that the Seward wings and barnburner democrats
will elect all Of the delegation to the next Con-
gress, except the four members from this city,
three or four national wings, and perhaps three or
four hunkers, or national democrats, from the in.
terror.

which has occupied much Of public attention
and been made the subject of diplomatic negota-
lions between the governments ofthe United States
and Mexico, is about TO be undertaken in great
earnest, and with that degree ofenergy which en-.
sures success.
