The approaching election in this State is one OF greater
importance than is generally supposed Aside from It's
importance as involving the choice of prominent State Of
nces ana determining the color OF State Legislature,
It VIII have bearing the next presidential election
whichis worthy OF serious consideration 1t is admitted
even oy wing presses that if the democratic party succeed
in carrying the State in the coming election they can re-
tain the control OF the State long enough enable them
to cast lis electoral vote for the nominee of the Baltimore
convention This is the last State election that will take
place before The general election in November 1852 and
few weeks will determine whether the State is to be re-
garded as wing or democratic II is true however, and it
Is worthy OF remark that there points the present
conest-important local questions and other consdera
tons-whch be the issue what it may, will somewhat
embarass our decision on the main question of the vote
OF the State in the presidential election.
In the first place, the position of the anti renters has
hitherto been point Of considerable importance in our
political AFFAIRS For long time they held the balance of
power IN the Sate and they made separate nom
nations but always selected their candidates from the
nominees OF the two great parties, the ticket thus formed
by them was generally elected. AT their late conventions
however, they nominated the entire democratic ticket
and this movement has been generally interpreted be
virtual dissolution OF their party organization, and is
construed as involving permission to the individuals
lately composing that party to return TO their former po
ltca predictions. How much truth there is in this
view OF the and what Importance is to be attached
to their future action only be determined after the
election
Another point of importance, which will enter largely
into the coming contest is the movement lately made
under the advice and lead OF the Journal OF Commerce
and the Castle Garden Union Safety Committee pledge
has been lately published in the Journal of Commerce.
said to be signed by upwards Of nine thousand names, by
which they bind themselves to vote for no man who is
known TO be opposed to the compromise measures They
have denoted the which they intend to place
their ticket; SO that cannot yet predict what
effect the movement will have in the coming election
Still cannot be doubted that its ultimate effect will be
for the advantage OF the democratic party. The demo-
Gratis, being united the platform OF the Compro
mise, must ultimately command the support of all these
voters. They would even endorse the entire demo-
cratic ticket not for the fact that OF the
ddates said to have opposed the election of General
Cass in 1S4s But these men, standing they
do firm national ground declared by the resolutions
of the democratic convention, surely preferable
candidates nominated by wing convention, which is
afraid declare its principles fully, and directs against
the Compromise the whole Of the declaration which it
dares 10 make; that those who really wish to silence
agitation the question OF slavery--who wish to see
the compromise undisturbed-mus in consist
ency, vote for the entire democratic ticket 80
The canal question is another point of Importance in
the State election which cannot into the presden-
tia question Because the democrats opposed bill for
the completion of the canals the ground OF its uncon.
sttuionay they have been represented by wing presses
to be the decided enemies Of the canals This idea has
gained ground throughout the State, especially in the
canal counties. and may be injurious the party in the
local elections If are defeated this fall il will be
mainly through the instrumentaly of that idea, and
without reference 10 national questions.
1t will be by these remarks that although our
success next month will be certain indication that the
State will be found democratic in s52-a point which is
conceded by the Buffalo Commercial advertiser, strong
wing paper-sll even defeat will not leave us without
sangune hopes to the soundHess Of the State on the
great questions which will before the country in
the presidential contest Local questions by which the
democracy may suffer in State election. will then be of
account while the superior position of the democratic
party on the measures OF adjustment will command the
support of that large of voters who now declare
that they will for who is not an advocate
OF the Compromise.
The nominations lately made by the democrats in this
city receiving universal commentator. The judicial
ticket in particular is spoken OF in the highest terms even
by opponents Such those OF Oakley Roose-
welt, and Bosworth will draw many votes even from
those who opposed to them in their political opinions
The democrats of the third senatorial district, compris
ing the first six wards Of city, have nominated the
Hon. William McMunay their candidate for State SEN
ator The nomination gives universal satisfaction TO the
democrats Of our city. Mr. McMurray was formerly, for
several years. member of the lower house. demo.

character and standing Of Mr.. McMuray will be hailed

will give promise OF reformation in the legislature
which we trust will be lasting in its character. c.
