their Secretary Of State that they are re-
ouired to elect a Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Clerk of the Court Of Appeals, Canal
Commissioner and State Prison Inspector
on Tuesday, the 9th day Of November next
together with thirty -four Representatives ia
Congress. an one hundred and twentJ-eisht
members Of Assembly leach BY single Dis
tricts) and various local officers. Even more
important than these elections do we esteem
the vote 10 be cast at the same time for or
against the continuance Of the FREE School
system enacted by the Legislature of lS49,
ard this year partially put in operation, IN
der the embarrassment Of a most determined
and unscrupulous opposition. No device,
no trick will be spared to make the Poor
believe that they may vote to defeat the law
vet not vote the overthrow Of the Free School
principle, but we confidently trust all such
devices will be hopeless. If the entire cleo
toral population Of our State shall but clear
" understand and appreciate the truth that
to vote for the repeal Of the Law is to de-
cree the downfall and humiliation Of Free
Schools and return to Rate-bills and Pau
per Exemptions, We believe the majority
against Repeal cannot fall short of One
Hundred Thousand. We shall be disap-
pointed if this City and its daughters, Brook
Iyn and wilismsburgh, do not give at least
Forty Thousand majority for Education
Free to all.
= =Tke first State Convention to assemble
is that of the Opposition to the National
and State Administrations, which meets in
Syracuse on Wednesday, Sept. llth. We
have not sought information very lately,
but when we last inquired of one among
those who arrange such matters, it was de-
creed that HoRArIo SEYMOUR Of Utica should
be nominated for Governor. lie is an able
and agreeable lawyer, Of good fortune, COM
potent speaking talent, and would make
highly respectable Governor, if elected. He
is a bunker of the most thorough school,
was Speaker of the Assembly some few
wears since, and signalised his Legislative
career, by the most determined hostility to
the anti Improvement rawlings of Col. Young
and vetoes Of Silas Wright. JAMES 5.
WApswoRrn of Livingston Goa late Barn
burner and an immense landholder in the
fertilc valley of the Genesee-was then I'M
der consideration for Lieut.. Governor, but
the programme may have been changed
since. New men must be taken up for
Commissioner and Inspector, as those Off
ces are now filed by Wings, but the Clerk Of
Appeals is Charles S. Benton Of Herkimer,
BaInburner, who, we presume, will be
!. accorded denomination.
The Wing State Convention assemblies
also at Syracuse, but fifteen days later, on
The 10Th Of September. So far as we can
gather from the journals, WASHINGTON HUM
of Niagara, now Controller, will be nonin-
ased for Governor with hardly dissenting
voice. We did formerly hear the name OF
Axes X. HADLEY (ex-Speaker) Of Troy sug-
eested for Governor, but infer that it has
been Withdrawn. Mr.. Hunt has devoted
bis life 10 an earnest endsavor 60 win every
bods'e good will, and if he has not entirely
succeeded il must be the fault of the insrin-
sic dif6culty Of the task. lie is capable
without pretension, man of business by
nature and the habits Of lifetime, ANNA
ted by an anxious desire to win golden
opinions by deserving them. Mr.. Hunt ran
at the head of the poll on the Wing State
Ticket last year, and viii pretty surely do
80 this year if nominated, no matter how
strong the candidates who may DO presented
with him.
For Lieu. Governor, on the Wing ticket,
xe have heard the names of Judge JAMES Q.
FORSYTH Of Ulster Co. SAMUEL B. RUGGLEs OF
this City, GEoRcE ]. CORNELL, ditto, and
Aros X. HApIEY Of Rensselaer,, mentioned,
but we do not know that either Of them has
consented TO be proposed, and presume most
Of them have not. We have seen nothing
on the subject in the newspapers. 1--WE
should have stated before that Gov. Fish and
Lieut.. Gov. PATTERSON decline a.reelection.)
We believe there will be a contest for
canal Commissioner. all the present Com
,.issionsrs hail from the western half of the
State. and Col. JAcos KINDS of Orleans,
the Commissioner whose term now expires,
and NgLsoS J. BEACH, who was barely ran
out last year by the casting Of the entire
