herself, the votes Of that mysterious party
are more than sufficient to counterbalance
those Of the Irish. Whether the boast is
nutured result of their recent victory We
can hardly say; but it IS pretty freely
stated that the Know Nothings and Fill
more wings have carried majority of the
delegates who are to meet at Syracuse on
Wednesday next, 10 make the regular
whig State ticket. If it really be so it
will prove unfortunate for the old whig
party, as then donbtlessly the convention
at Auburn will make separate nomina-
tions, and between the two, it will tumble
to pieces, or have to join with the Aboli-
tionists and Temperance men. Seward
and Weed will probably however, be able
to control the convention at Syracuse, and
nominate the Governor, whether it be G.
w. Patterson, Horace Greely or some
other Seward man. And who knows but
that then the Know Nothing and Silver
Grey wings may "go in" and elect
Bronson-if only out of spite. Owing,
we believe, to the ultras Of both factions
it would be impossible to get the whigS
to harmonic" on some hitherto un-
mentioned candidate.
1t is too early as yet to go through the
catalogue of prominent men, whose names
are under discussion for the various Off
ces to be filed this fall since the whole
programme will depend upon the events
Of the next thcee weeks.
From reports received this morning,
(Sept. lsth,) we find that the rural dis
tricts arc fast filing up the chinks Of the
Wing State Convention, in the election Of
their delegates, and from careful pcrsu-
al of the names at hand, we have no
doubt whatever that the Convention
which meets on Wednesday will be large
in numbers, powerful in talents, expe
rienced in log-rollino, and it may be--re
solved upon victory at all hazards:
The past week, theatr:cally speaking
has been very good one and the man
ayers ought certainly to be content witt
the present prospect Of the season. NJ
