Political Intelligence.
New YoRK.-The campaign in this State is now
Fairly opened and the several parties are eagsyly
contending for success. In tho wing convention
there was great apparent unity and the whole
wing press of the State join in the echo of approval
of the nominations. majority Of those on the
ticket are of the free soil Seward school, which
will most certainly add greatly to its strength and
prospects of success. The Albany Evening Jopanal,
the organ Of the faction, and the Albany STATE
Register, the organ of the other faction, express
their great satisfaction at the result and speak
most certainly of success. There are three parties
in the field as follows
Wigs Democrats. Industriogs
amu. roo.s Alec SoVsI jS Oh Ward Smith
james C. Forsyth. Henry s Randall Jer s. washburu
Geo. W. Patterson JoSn #4isS, Henry B. Stanton
James n. Cock. Benjamin wsoh. John windt.

The above are the tickets now before the people
of New York for their consideration and suffrage,
on the 4th Of November next. The whig ticket
will doubtless receive the support Of the whig party
There seems, however, to be somo difficulty with
regard TO the nominees Of the democratic conven.
ton. The nomination OF BENJAMIN Wech, for
state Treasurer, does not seem to meet with uni
yersal approval in the western section Of the state
where he resides. Having control Of q newspaper
published at Buffalo, he has always opposed the
laws ofthe compromise, am particularly lat one
having reference to the rendition Of fugitive slaves
His opposition to the canal enlargement, after
tacit acknowledgement OF favor, will also operate
10 his prejudice. 1t is also intimated that Mr.
Chatfeld, the car didste for Attorney General, will
meet with opposition in the western part Of the
state. The Industrial party is as yet but it'll
known, though embraces those who heretofore
identified with the Seward reform and working mons
movements. There are some on the ticket Of cons-
5erable personal popularity in the immediate SEQ
lions in which they reside. Mr.. Stanton, of the
all probability, draw a considerable vote from the
democratic candidates, with which party he was
always identified before the raising Of the issues in
the politics Of the party and the , souGtr T, Mr.
which he elected in consequence Of his devotion
60 the canal enlargement law of the late session Of
the Legislature, by an overwhelming majority
lie, too, has always been identified with tho demo-
.crf ic party and has strong hold upon the people
in Lewis and the adjoining counties. In the con.
test for supremacy in the state, the Presidential
question seems to be entirely lost sight OF, though
the result of the approaching election will have its
effect upon the action OF the national conventions.
The present indications point to the success Of the
whg party whi,h will In al probability, DO sa,,
will have great effect, as much will depend upon

PESssYbvANIA.-Therc are three parties eau.
wasting this State for the asccndancy at the ap-
preaching election-whig Democrat, aud native
American The last named Is but a small party,
comparatively, but will operate against the wing
party NOV, than against the democratic. The
course Of Governor Johns ton, the nominee Of the
whg party for election, has no. met with the uni
vtrsal appreciation Of those who have heretofore
acted with the wings, principally on account Of his
known personal opposition to the laws Of the com
promise and particularly so because Of bis refusal
to sign law for the proper Observance in the State
of the federal law. The late outrages perpetraicd
against the Fugitive Slave Law, and tho officers Of
the law have been turned to political account the
democrats, and will have telling effect at the APP
prosching election. In his letter. Governor John
ton states that the people In the immc date vicinity
o the scene of riot an orderly and Law abiding
people, and IL would be useless on his part to step
hey ond the bounds Of duty to send an armed force
to qucll quiet people. Col Biger, the caudi date
Of the democratic party, Is q Of great personal
popularity, and strongly pledged to tho support Of
all the laws Of the compromise, without distinction
The contest in every part Of the State is waged with
great oarnestness, but the probabilities, at this
time re decidedly In favor OF tho democratic eau
ddates. With regard to the Presidential question,
the wing party Is pledged to the support Of Gen.
Scott, while the democrats are divided between
Cen Cas- and Mr.. Buchanan. Some Of the party
oppose hIr Buchanan account Of his connection
with the old federslst party, but o majority are
doubtless IN his favor.
MISSISSIPPI late election in Mississippi, for
delegates TO . State convention, has materially
char gcd the aspect of the political affairs Of the
state. The statements Of the press, generally, be-
fore that election took place, led to the conclusion
that the secession was much the Stronger party but
the result has proved the contrary. General Quit.
man is . man Of great popularity in his State, but
the question Of disunion reaches 20 far above per-
scnal esteem, that the most unprecedented majority
has been given against the measure which he was
mpposed 70 a,lyocate The Jackson Misissippian,
