TIE NEXT G0vERNOR OF New YoRK.-The frst
party Assemblsge, to take into confederation the
ponip ton Of candidates fer Governor, and other
State officers Of New Yo,k, will take place ut Syra
su,e TO. morrow IL is the State Convention Of the
democracy. The Wing State Convention, for the
same object is announced to be held also at SYRIA
cure, on "Wednesday, the I'D of September. The
nominations 10 be made by both these party conven-
tons embrace candidates for the offices Of Govern
or, Leutenan Governor, Canal Commissioner, and
State Prison Inspector. During the last few weeks
. good deal Of interest has been developed in differ
ent parts Of the State, in relation to these
tons, and to the nominations which the parties may
put for ward dunDg their respective sittings.
As far as these dey eope have proceeded from
the whg journals, ana whig sources, it seems that
all the other candidates who have heretofore been
named In this party, have been set aside in eonse.
quencs Of the superior availability Of the present
incumb bent, Governor Hunt. The position Of the
wbg party in this State on the general question OF
election from the Presidency down, is not OF strong
or positive order allow the wings to indulge
in any experiment ON some new and untried candi-
date. Governor Hunt has given great satistac-
tion to the whjg party, as chief magistrate Of
this State. He is, besides and moreover, a man
Of general intelligence, Of very fair reputation,
and. hey ond the limits Of the whg party, he is
titled to- and receives great deal Of respect and
consideration. We have always, our own part,
considered Governor Hunt to be far better and
honester man than most Of tue politicians by whom
be is surrounded, OF by whom he has been support
cd and placed in power The wings, therefore, may
be considered as having already determined who
their candidate for Governor will be, even before
the meeting of the convention, the 22d Of Sep
tsmter The other Candidates, however, have to
be determined and decided upon in that convention.
In tuning to the situation Of the democratic
Iaty Of this Stale, on the hams question, We dis
cover great deal Of difference Of opinion, and of
internal ,isseI sions ana sqaabbles, almost loading
10 disruption VI the party, in their selection Of dele
gates to the State Convention, both in this metre
polls and in Albany aud elsewhere. There has
been violent contest in the party generally, be-
tween the forces of the barpburners and hunkers,
throughout the State; and even these factions
divided among themselves on particular
individuals and ciiques These divisions on
State questions and s ate nominations, have
characterized the movements Of the party presses
and the party meetings during the last few
months. In fact, the democrats have toe many
candidates in the field for the office of Governor,
and seem to be ID very much the same condition in
which they were previous TO their nomination for
President at the Baltimore Convention. Among
those hitherto mentioned in connection with this
high Office, and whose names will probably come
before the convention to morrow, we may emu
Derate the following, viz H0ratio Seymour, y
Utica; Erastas Corning, Of Albany; Gen. Wads-
worth, Of Genesee Mr. Clinton, Of Buffalo Mr..
A. c. Paige, Of Schenectady DR.. Beekman, Of
somewhere the Hudson river; General Ward,
Of Westchester; besides others, whose names are
unavailable, and Of no account whatever. That
there will be a good deal of difference in the
State Convention, in the selection of q candidate
for Governor, We have every reason to expect.
The recent publication by the Auditor Of the
State, of the proceedings Of the Canal Board,
developed state of things in relation to this ques
tion, which ay lead to some confusion and good
deal Of heart burniDgs.
1t is probable, therefore, that we willard We
may expect to-see scenes of considerable excite
ment during the Democratic Convention at SYRIA
cuse, on the nomination for Governor and great
differences Of opinion between the barnburners and
hunkers; but on the subject of the Presidency all
these differences will only tend to Increase their
strength and vote for General Pierce throughout the
State. The general opinion seems to be that the
contest for Governor win be waged principally be-
tween the friends Of Mr. Seymour, Of Utica, and Of
Mr.. Coming, Of Albany. This very fact, however,
will only tend to prevent the nomination Of eiher
and not sure but it will be the best policy for
the Democratic Convention to set aside all the can
didates who have heretofore been named, either
bunker or barnburner, in consequence Of these can
didstes or their friends having been mixed up with
the violent contentious and quarres growing out of
the recent distribution Of the nine million loan
If the democrats want to carry the State elections
we would earnestly advise them to nominate such O
ststesman and reliable man as General Ward of
Westchester, who has been connected with no
eliques, is compromised with no factions, and would
run throughout this great State probably better
thsn any other man who has yet been named
General Ward has been reliable member Of the
democratic party from the time of General jackson
down to the present day. He was many years
in Congress, AMI has always employed talents
of the highest order, N q statesman o pa
triot and an American. And NC have no doubt
that his nomination would form the strongest ticket
to run against Gov Hunt that basyet been thought
Of in this State for years past It is very ev
dent the wings to avail themselves of the dis
contents along the Erie canal, which grew out OF
the defeat OF the magnificent plan for pnnder in the
recent dstIbu'ioD OF the nino million loan, which
sput down ana Set aside 10 justly and properly
by The Court OF Appeals The no nination Of either
Coming, Clinton Seymour, or any such man
would by 10 means oycfcome these local feelings,
which will be agitated by the wings, to the same
extent as might be done by the popular nomina-
ticn Of General Ward, Of Wcstchcster.
We arc 10 much convinced ofthe correctness Of the
views which we take this subject. that we are

State ticket for Govonor aud others. unless some
consideration, suob as we have pointed out, be
taken up ard acted in their nomination Of the con-
