Throwing aside the mere details of The late cleo
ton in This State, and viewing only its moral and
political results, il has been the most momentous
conflict that has ever taken place in New York.
Mr.. Horatio Seymour, the democratic candidate
foT Governor, is elected but the wbies have car
ried IN joriy Of their Assembly and Congressional
nominations. The votes Of the anti.renters-one OF
the ideal and unsound factions which has sprung
nom the Fourier philosophy OF the day-decidea the
mere personal results as regards men hut the great
and overwhelming character of the result will be to
encourage agitation, and TO foster, astonsh, per-
pick, and excite the anti slavery feeling prevailing
in the North against the Fugitive Slave bill, and
ran gassr, 10 irfane the dsunion feeling of the
South.
There can be no doubt that the wings, IA a party
have carried majority of the candidates for Con
gTess and the State Legislature, on the political
complexion Of the latter of which hangs the
character Of the next United States Senator flo N
this State. There is no doubt that the feeling
excited 10 the interior OF the State by the Seward
sgitaton, in opposition 10 the Fugitive Slave law,
haas been the basis, foundation, and cause of the
result in the State The general tendency of the
result out Of the city, is calculated open all
the exciting questions Of the last few years, and
30 prolong and increase the influence of Seward,
and sui further to disturb the peace, satisfaction
and sonentedness of the different sections Of the
Union. The private opinions Of the successful
whg candidates can amount to but little, or can
operate to a very slight extent, against the over
whelming antslavsry feeling in the Interior which
leryedes both parties, under the influence Of corrupt
designating, and ambitious men.
In this CITY, the great Union meeting at Castle
Garden has given an entirely new tone to the
relative results between the two parties here. The
wings availed themselves Of ther position, and OF
the Unien feeling among the merchants, and
turned them to their own advantage. Their can
didates for Congress aid the Legislature were
with few exceptions, satisfactory TO the Union feel
ing exhibited at Castle Garden; and the Interest,"
represented at that meeting were welded viii

nucleus here Of conservatism, and Union, anC
rational feeling, in opposition to anti slavery

the means, if the people OF New York aud tn,
North can be awakened TO a true sense OF th,
danger impending over them, Of saving the couR
