Of the following individuals-Myron H. Clark, of
Ontario, for Governor; Henry j. Raymond, of New
lfork, for Lieutenant Governor; Henry FTtshugh, of
ywashingtOn, for Canal Commissioner; and Noroood
By4e, for State Prison Inspector. OF the latter

s<hg The candidate for Governor, the Herald
informs us, belongs to the Seward school, and so
does Raymond, tho editor of the New York
Times. Such being the complexion of the New York
State Wing ticket, justified in denouncug it
rs = Seward Abolition ticket, aud as such deserving
the support OF no sincerely attached to the Con.
sitution and earnestly desiring the preservation of
the Union as it is.
But II We object to the ticket, We have much more
reison to condemn the platform. But one idea and
ono sentiment pervadss it-and that idea is Abolition,
and that sentiment deadly hostility to the institu-
tons Of the South. The first resolution, to be sure,
pirates grandloquenty of their cordial and immova-
bio attachment to the Federal Union and to the Cons
stitution, but tho subsequent ones only show that
such profession is fraud and a cheat with which
Southern Wings we believe little too wise to be
gulled. Upon nearly every point connected with the
subject OF slavery, these New York Wings according
to their own published declarations are rotten to the
core and not to be trusted And SO far as this oues-
Non IS concerned they have cut of all possibility or
Southern Wings cooperating or sympathising with
them We regret that it is SO, but they themselves

OIL can never be justly laid at our door, We have adj
monshed, demonstrated, and protested, but all to no
purpose. We have begged them not to commit them.

i's oeaohest foes- But we have appealed well-nigh
In vain They have gone off after strange Gods: and
Is needless for US to say that we can worship at no
such altar.
What we object to most in this platform is not the
opposition it avoSs to the principles Of the Nebraska
bill, although that would be enough to elicit orr
warmest reprobation. But il is the determined
hostility expresses to the extension Of slavery and
the admission of new Slave States into the Union
tne spirit in short of undyng hatred to slavery itself

every resolution in the series And TO this, ilea and

sentiment if we mistake not of the entire Southern
Wing party; and we avow it boldly, that the Whigs
OF New York and the other Northern States may no,

indeed that we love the Union less but that we love
the South more.
we annex the platform adopted by the New York

himself how far we are justified in deuouncinp it rs
