Few York Poiitics-Preparations for the
EIectioa In November next.


The State Central Committee of the whg party,
and the unite official authorities Of the democratic
party, Che latter signed by Charles A. Mann,
Chairman of the Legislative Caucus, and John V.
l.. Puyn, Chairman Of the Democratic State Com
mittee,) have each issued their calls for State
Conventions to nominate State officers TO b, sup
ported al the ensuing election in November next.
The Democratic State Convention will be held at
Syracuse, on "wednesday, the lIth OF September;
and the Wing State Convention will also meet at
Syracuse, on Thursday, the 18th of September
. nett. Each Assembly district in the State one
hundred and tweniy-eight in number, is to elect
one delegate. Both sections Of the democratic
party have united in the call for the conven-
tion Of the llth September, and it is according
ly published in the Albany argus, albany atlas,
and other papers hitherto antagonistic the free
soil question. A similar union of the demo-
ersts, il will be remembered, was attempted
last year, hut was only partially successful, in con-
sequence cf some Of the old hunkers refusing to
eoalesce with the barnburners. The result was,
that the wings elected half of the State ticket,
and a majority of two in the Senate while the
democrats carried bare majority in the House Of
Assembly.
This year the State officers to be elected are, a
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, one Canal Com
missioner, an Inspector Of the State Prisons, and
Clerk THE Court Of Appeals-who are TO be nomi-
mated by the State Convention.
Iii. doubtful whether perfect Union can be ef-
fected in the democratic party yet, il is believed
that their condition is better than that OF the wings,
in the elements required for success. In the first
place, the free soil party and the abolitonsts have
for the last two years, shown much stronger dis
position to affiliate with thu democrats than with
the wings, in this and several other States
and this fact alone would insure the sue
cess Of the democrats at the coming election,
were It not for the repugnance of many Of
the old hunkers to coslesce with the abolidonists,
and their bitter hatred towards Martin and John
Van Buren,, and other bamburner leaders. Thus
we zee that, at the last two or three elections Ia
this city, the old hunkers have preferred to allow
the wings to carry this democratic stronghold than
70 combine with the barburner, or free-soilers
Making due allowance for the obstacles, thus
stated, in the way Of each party, or supPosng them
Co balance each other, as was the case last year,
the wings have new difficulty TO contend with, in
the leud which exists between the particular
flisnds and supporters Of DIR. Senator Seward and
those Of President Fillmore This quarrel il Of long
standing as IL well known, and IL is not essen
tial to eur purpose TO explain its origin. 1t had

The accession ef Mr. Fillmore 20 the Presidency
having thrown the Seward Clique into the back

je,i OF inquiry ~aat course they will pursue at the
sssuing eieciios. Seward aua Weed well know
shat the whg Fsrty have neger been able to get

1s44, when the friends Of Mr.. Clay threw them

friends IN nomination for important offices, the de-
Rat Il the Wing party followed This result, was
stubnied, by many Of the friends Of MIR. Clay. to
The holJing hack, OF want u zeal, on the Psr of
Seward, Weed, aud their frieRls, notwithstanding
nominal support Of Mr. Clay.
Should the nominations by the Wing Conveu-
sons, this fall, not be satisfactory to Messrs
Seward and Weed, we do not expect TO see them
or their friends caalesce with the abolitionsts or
iss-sfed fee soi.srs, for the pafgos. Of forming
a third party; Ia, more probsbe result will be,
that they will leave the friends of the Presdcn, to

result pill le determiaed by the fact ss 10 which

dissensions and defectians.
