i HE RESULT IN THE STATE.-We are still
without sufficient returns to determine the result
Oh Governor though we hold to the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday, that Mr. Hunt is elected
Until certain information shall have been received
from Delaware, Otsego and Steuben, no reliable
way, will be small. 2.
But if the election for Governor shall have re-
suited inads piciousy there is much less occasion
for surprise than of regret Indeed, the only
cause for wonder will be that the Wing party of
our State, with the prominent. and influential
officers of the Wing National Administration
against it, has done so WELL ..... .
A minority of the Wing State convention, led
by member Of Congress who attended that
convention, rs he stated, to represent the Presi-
dent, seeded and called hostile convention-
The New York Express thereupon declared that
the Administration would rather have the Wing
party of the State of New York beaten than that
it should have success upon the platform of 1S48,
for on that platform the Syracuse convention
planted its banner. ......
the house of Mayor Kingsland, in the city of
New York, MIR. Duer stated that it was of little
consequence whether the Wing State ticket was
elected or beaten unless the candidates repudi-
ated the resolutions adopted by the convention
which nominated them.
The "National Wing Convention havirg
passed resolution to support the Wing State
ticket, appointed State central Committee, pro-
tessedly to promote their election. Hereupon
the regular Wing Committee proposed to unite
with the "Natonal" State Committee in the dis
charge of an important duty Some of the
nationals" profossed their readiness to adopt
the suggestion, and different days were named
for a joint meeting. The Wing State Com
mittee met as was agreed on, but the "nationals"
did not appear. Nor, as far rs we are informed,
have they taken the slightest interest in the
success of our ticket On the contrary, some of
those individuals have opposed Wing candidates,
and several of them would rejoice as heartily in
the defeat Of the Wing State ticket rs they did
in the death of General Taylor
A heavy political tax was levied upon Gus
tom House and Other United States Office hold
ers This Fund, as Collector Maxwell inform
ed a distinguished Wing, was to be devoted
to the election of Washington Hunt Not one
dollar Of it, however, has been used for that pur
pose.-What it paS used for we are left to con.
lecture.
The Castle Garden movement, in which the N.
York Collector, Sub Treasurer, Surveyor, &c,
through Ketchum, $40 Hoxie," &. Co., were con-
cerned, cost the Wing candidate for Governor
over 5000
The efforts of the 'Nationals" to defeat Mr..
Schoolcralt in this city, and Mr.. Sage in Rens
selear cost Mr. Hunt full 1000.
The efforts of the same nationals" to defeat
V. w. Smith, in Onondaga, cost Mr. Hunt
another thousand.
And so on throughout the State, "Nation-
al" Whigs-Whigs claiming to be the especial
friends of the General Administration have,
through their leaders and their presses, hung as
dead wood upon the party.
But with all this against us, it is not sure that
we are beaten. 1t is probably that the glorious
and devoted Wing party, by hearty and gener-
Gus effort, have carried the State, against united
LocuiHGcco nartv and against treacherous faction,
led by officers of the National Administration,
in our own household.
