Omca~i interference I'm EIscsSoas,
II is well known that the Albany State Register 10 the
confidential organ OF Mr. Fillmore in the State Of New
York During the last week that journal assured the
pubic that no one desired the election OF the entire wing
ticket more than the President did II that some
OF those who wished to form separate Union organxa
ton in New York were employees OF the federal govern
ment The Albany Journal rebuked those officers, by
saying that they acted Witout the authority and against
the PUSHES OF the President The Register confirms the
statement of the Journal in the manner we have stated
above But il seems that Mr. Fillmore has taken more
active part in the New York elections than we had sup
posed The Rochester Democrat "a wing pape brings us
account Of meeting held at that place preparatory to the
election which od yesterday We take the follow
ing from the sketch OF the remarks OF one OF the speak
ers. Mr. Chauncey Tucker:
"He had piece Of information for the meeting John
T. Bush. esq. w. 8. marshal. was now in this city, with
letter from MI, FHtmors calling upon every whig and
every eAd OF the administration to SUPPORT THE ENTIRE
WIG TICKET" [Appausel
Il seems that Mr.. Fillmore has forgotten the abhor
renee which his party professed to entertain toward
official interference in elections His own friends repre-
sent him actively inermeddng in the New York cleo
ton and by letters addressed to his subordinate officers
age TO carry State ticket The wing party OF New York
has passed under the dominion OF VIM H. Seward. The
last Syracuse convention witnessed the total and unan
surrender Of the Presidents friends. The State
ticket offered by the wings OF New York is Seward
ticket, and the prominent issue presented in the New
York election gotten up for the benefit Of William H.
Seward, and intended consolidate his power over
the wing party OF New York. The hgher.Iaw cause
needed recruits, and portion Of the wings OF New York.

ed disposition to abide by and sustain the Compromise
Under these circumstances, it was determined TO set the
constitution of New York at de6ance-that constitution
being worthless paper in the presence Of higher law
and to raise, by loan, corrupoo fund OF nine millions
of dollars under pretence of enlaging the Erie canal
This cunningly-devised scheme brought all the wings
friendly to the enlargement to the support OF Seward
Company and even the FESTIVE friends OF the President
and the President himself, bowed to the superior
genius Of the Auburn manager and the President for
geul OF his high position and onerous Duties has de-
scended into the TO WELD his official influence and
patronage in support OF the schemes Of VIM H. Seward
and Thurow Weed.
Whether the new alliance between Mr.. Fillmore and
the higher-law alliance Of love- and likely to
continue. we say We rather incline to the belief
that its fate depends upon future events The friends Of
Gov Johnston charge Mr.. Fillmore with aiding in bis
defeat Assuming this to be true, then Mr. Fillmore may
still cherish his jealousy Of Mr.. Seward. although he aids
the whg ticket in New York. He may be willing to
Join with the men Of the higher-aw in order to

operations trusting to the accidents OF that future to de-
termine whether shall be used for his benefit or that
of Mr. Seward AT all events. his Union sentiments are
not strong enough enable him to sit quietly while the
custody of the canal fund is at issue. He orges all about
the Compromise, secession, rescues and riots. and is
willing to affiliate with the foe OF the Union rather
than see the democracy triumph in New York. As yet
the wings have the control OF the canal fund and tous
