all State officers, and for members of Congress,
Legislature, &c. The race between the two
candidates for Governor is so close that it is not
certain who is elected; yet the chances are given
in favor of Mr. Horatio Seymour, the democratic
cardidate. For members of Congress, the demo-
Gratis have elected 16, and the wings IS, aboli-
tionists one. This is a great change; for in the
present Congress there are but two democ rats,
one free-soiler. The wings will have a majori-
ty in the egislature, by which means they will
elect Senator in place of Mr. Dickinson per
haps another one like Seward
