The Approaching State Convention.

Within about three weeks time both pslitica
parties in this State will assemble In their rsspsc-
tive State conventions. Meetings soon to be held
In the several Assembly districts, to designate the
delegates who are TO propagate their party's senti
nents and the platforms which they will declare to
stand upon during the coming contest. Although
the election will not directly involve any great na
tioual issue, sti the restless leaders will strive to
Introduce questions which will tend to have bear
ing Upon the next Presidency.
Both parties are aware that national convention
must assemble in May or June next, and the silver
grays and hunkers will resist the right Of any dele
gate to q seat who is even suspected Of harborng
abolition notions The hunkers viii undoubtedly
endorse the principles Of the compromise, at syrs-
cuse, and should the democratic, abolitonists disa
gree 70 such endorsement, they dare not under
taks to oppose the State nominations. 10 is well
known that last year the little meagre band Of
twentJ-s;x, held in leading strings by John Van
Buren, refused TO vote for the resolutions adopted
then; still, having on tie ticket, Church, Benton
and Angel, hey dare not NANTES. the least disfar
vor, because they well knew that the hunkers stood
ready, with drawn knife, 70 cut the cord asunier
which bad been en.wiaed around the party at Syra-
cuse. so the hunkers again nominate
Judg. Lott, Of Brooklyn, for Comptroller, and
place Henry ;. Randall, Of Cortland, on the
ticket again for Secretary Of state, then the
clique Of barnbsrners must suppors the ticket in
good faith otherwise their own will fall equally
ow with those Of the other section. The more
radical hunksrs already swearing that they will
vote fcr who Is the least tinctured With abo

The IDEA Of holding the Wig convention on the
day subsequent 10 that when .he democrats meet,
and ia the same place, has iO lis object an inter
view between ths democrats and Seward FREQ
sellers. 1t Is not likely that she democrats con
venrion will conclude their Transactions the Ersi
day, and the second day the vhigs will be there,
and no doubt, ready for a eonfesrnae. Notwith-
