Difference caused by the Castle Garden vote 058
Difference between Hunt and Cornell (whigs). $50
The strength of the Castle Garden party, in 1850,
may be set down at 3, 500 votes. They were sue
cessful only in electing MIR. Mather, Of Troy ca
nal commissioner, for which partial success they
indebted to the aid received from the Trojans
already stated. They came, however, within
800 votes, in the state. Of defeating the whg can.
didate for Governor. Thus ended the Castls Gar
den movement for 1850.
The votes of the present year in the counties last
referred to, show an important diminution Of the
Castle Garden influence, compared with 1850. The
majority in these counties for Wright, (dem } for
Comptroller, the Union ticket, is 5.30 for Chat
field, (dem ) for Attorney General, not on the
Union ticket, the majority is 574-showing a DIFF
feren,e caused by the Castle Garden votes of 4727

We conclude this article with the following state
ment of the votes of the antirent counties for the
present year, showing that they still hold the H.

Mr.. Fillmore (whig,) now President of the United
States, and Mr.. Dayton. (dem. were placed on the
antirent ticket, without their consent and the diff
ference made by the anti rent vote was 4, 7i3. The
vote in ls47 was very light throughout the State,
between the hunkers and barsburners. The STATE
ticket being composed of hunkers, great numbers
of the barnburners, acting under the advice Of John
Van Buren,, refused to vote at all; consequently the
democracy met with a disastrous defeat, and the
wings triumphed, by majority Of 80, 439 on Lieu
tenant Governor, and of IS ,729 on Comptroller.
At the same election, Edward Sanford, from the
democratic ticket, placed on the antireHt ticket
for Secretary of State, although he had voted

There was new interest started at the election OF
$780, in the city of New York, and vicinity intended
by some persons ostensbly to sustain the Union com
promise measures of Congress- and by others to put
down the anti rent balance ofpo but there was
set of individuals ut the bottom Of the whole move
meut who cared but little for the Union measures
adopted by Congress, and less for the antrenters,
as very few Of them had any real estate ~ stake in
the matter, to be affected in the slightest degree
either by the movements of the abolitonists the
anti renters 1.-The object of these wire puers, doubt
less, was to create balance of power party in
this section of State, for their own specula-
tive and selfish purposes. AS great Union
meeting was held at Castle Garden on the Both
October, lS50-resolutions passed in favor of the
Compromise Bills adopted byCongress; and theU Union
Safety Committee were appointed. That committee,
or part of them, without any authority from the
me citing at Castle Garden, nominated State
ticket composed Of the names, left off the whig and
democratic tickets by the an.i-renters; and the
SANE was announced through the columns Of the
Journal of Commerce. The strong feeling in favor
of the Union measures, and the excitement got up
by the silver greys, or national wings, against the
Sc ward wings, who had controlled the Safe nomi-
nations, gave streng vote to the Union ticket in
this section Of the State. Thisis shown, follows,

Of anti. rent voters.
This Of course settled the question that the anti
Young's majority in the State was ii .572, whils
Mr.. Fish was defeated by IL, 1857, in favor Of Mr.
Gardiner, as Lieutenant Governor. A small part
Of the difference, however, was made up by the
votes of the hunkers for Young and Gardiner.
At the election of 1916, the antirenters also as
sisted the wings to elect five members Of Congress,
viz:-Slingerland, of Albany; Reynolds, of Rens-
selaer; Sylvester, of Columbia and G-eene Sheriff.,
Of Delaware and Ulster; and St. John, of Orange
and Sullivan. These all voted for Mr.. Winthrop
for Speaker, in December, lS47, and as Mr.. Win
throp received only one majority, he owed his cleo
tion as Speaker, to the votes of the anrtrenters.
