seized upon and destroyed who because they had

SARATOGA GossIP.-Here is a specimen of the gossip
sent from Saratoga by correspondents of New York Pa

We as distinct parties and will pass Resolutions in favor nj
their respective professions themselves from the
imputaon OF having lost their identity in the coalition
Lhey WILL also nominate their respective candidates r
Governor and Lieut. Governor Just as though thew b,i
no common sympathy TOR each other. But at the same
time, II will he perfectly understood by n, mana rs of
both Conventions that these separate are
mere trick They two candid ttes because they can
concentrate more votes upon the two than thew upon
one; and 30 be more likely defeat the Wing candidate
