The Next Election IN New YoxA-Tbe
PrOspect.

Prospect. ....t....
There are strong Indications developing them
selves daily, between Sandy Hook and Niagara
Falls, calculated to lead us to believe that the
anti slavery movement, set on footby VIM IL. Sew
ard, at Syracuse, will be triumphant in this great
State at the next election. The recent elections IN
Penney lvsnia and Ohio, neutralize each other. In
Pennsy lvania, the democratic party have gained
several members Of Congress; and what Is remark
able. four Of the six democratic representatives,
from that Stats, who voted for the Fugitive Slave
bill. have been reelected, the remaining two not
having been candidates, by mere ased majorities,
and some without opposition. The following are
their names
Nm Dimmiek-no opposition
Jsmss X. McLanahan-increasedm majority.
John Robbins, Jr.

Pennsylvania, there fore, stands on the conserva-
tive platform OF the constitution, without having
fallen into the embraces of the destructive and
dangerous isms and epide mics of the age. New
York, this great State, is in critical position,
crisis. lfthe anti slavery movement of Seward and
others succeeds, the fires OF anti-slavery will be
rekindled in the northern States, and the agitation
be re- opt ned in Congress.
rable to Seward and ant-slavery. We confess it
with grief, and chagrin, and dread for the Perma-
nence of the Union and the prosperity o. the re-
public The boilers, as they are called, Granger.
Duer a Co, who seeded from the Syracuse Con-
vention, and called another Convention at Utica
on the 18th instant, are diminishing in courage and
confidence every day; and there is every proba-
bihty that they will exhibit the imbecility of sup
porting the Seward anti slavery ticket, with vapid
protest against the resolutions. Even the inilu-
ence of Mr. Filmore's administration in this city
and State is gradually changing its character, and
falling into the wake of Seward. Mr.. Corwin,
St cretsry of the Treasury, who he's been here for
q few days, and who only left here for Washing
ton yesterday, is generally represented to be in
favor of the Seward platform, and against the
boilers and seceders on the constitutional grounds
assumed by them. The anti-renters have also
taken up the Seward ticket and platforms but, more
lhan ALL the free soil papers attached TO the demo-
cratic party, the Ereniag Post and the albany At
las, helping the ani-slayery platform OF Seward
every day, and even encouraging secedels ON the
democratic party to the wing anti slavery ticket. One
of the democratic leaders, Minthorne Tompkns,
has come out boldly and denounced his own party.
and il is generally believed that Mr.. Van Buren, and
bis dynasty will secretly unite with the Seward in
iuence, TO carry the whole State by an over
whelming vote for the anti. slavery ticket and the
doctrines of the Syracuse Convention.
These are the prospects before us-a triump hant
victory for Seward, indicating the weakness of Mr..
FIllmores administration in this State, and divi-
sion of sentiment in the cabinet and among the
wing journals at Washington. The Republic takes
bold ground ia favor of the constitutional grounl
of Granger 4 Co, but the Iatsligenoer neutralzes
it, There il, therefore, every prospect of al anti
slavery triumph in this great city, with all lis train
of terrible and overwhelming consequences to the
prosperity of this city, and State, and naoL, ana
10 the downfall of the republic in due process of
time The apathy of New York, and of our meg-
chants and mechanics, is most astonishing but
go is.
