The Ensuing New York Eiection-Present
Position OF Parties.

The nominations which have been made for State
officers, and Judge Of the Cour. Of Appeals, by tae
Wig and democratic conventions, at Syracuse,
have now been for some days before the public, and
60 far as we have observed, the tickets, as formed
srIear to be well received by the respective parties
throughout the State. 1t is true that there was
Sigh. dissatisfaction at Grs, espresso by the
bunker portion Of the democratic party, parti:u-
Larry by Of the leaders in this cty but these
notes Of dissent too fee bic to be worthy Of much
notice. The prospect now seems to be, that hereaf
ter the distinctions Of bunker and barnburner will
he lost sight Of in the democratic party, in the
grand struggle which Is to take place -fsst Ia the
endesvor 10 regain their lost power, and the conse-
quent dispeDsation Of Office and emouments in the
state; and, second, the restoration Of the state to
the democratic ranks, in the Presidential election Of
next year.
The rhig party, on the other hand, seems az
firmly united as ever. There are a few who feel
disgust at the course Of the national and State ad-
ministrations in some Of their appointments to Of.
Zee, which may cause some dmnuton Of the ag-
gregste vhig vote In those localities where the in
eueree Of Office holders and Office seekers is most
felt: but the loss Of such votes will be than
made up by the great support which will be natu-
rally drawn to the whig ticket, in consequence Of
that party being in possession Of the power and pat
ronsge Of the state.
There are no very distinguished names on the two
state tickets nominated by the whig aud demo
cratic conventions, If superior talents public SER
