Of q considerable number OF Wing disailefs'
tsvern-keeper, &c, &c.
But will be stand
Let us consider some OF the facts bearing on
the proper answer to this question:
The Soft party or faction is Substantially the
Van Buren Free-Soil party of ISIS, numbering
I2O, ,OCO. Iess the 700 AbOlitionists who then
fraternized with the Free-SOn Democracy, and
the 10000 Wings who supported Van Buren, from
distrust of the Pro-Slavery surroundings OF Gen.
Taylor. To the 10000 Van Buren, Democrats add
some lo, eco Softs proper, who have followed
Marcy and Seymour into the camp of their old
antagonists and you have the reliable strength oil
the Soft faction at this moment. The Liquor
question will probably give Gov. Seymour lo'VOo
Whig votes from persons who make money by
making or selling Alcoholic beverages, raising the
aggregate vote for Seymour to 10000. Should
the contest be peculiarly animated so as to dra"
out the vote as thoroughly st Presidential Elec-
ton, we must add fifteen per cent for the probable
increase in the number of legal voters since lci',
raising seymours entire poll to l26,5OO. We
defy any intelligent politician to say that this es-
innate is not candid, and even liberal. Let Gov.
Seymour withdraw, and We could not name
another Soft who, unless standing on an un-
equiyocal Anti-Nebrasks platform, with the Sara
toga and Auburn Conventions at his back, can
poll even l0O,O votes. Gov. Seymours Will
range from 100, 900 to l3O, 900 according TO the
animation or dullness Of the contest, and the good
or i'll success Of bis friends in concentrating upon
him the votes of the Anti Rent, Liquor and other
minor interests
Gov. Seymour we understand to be committed
to the principle termed Popular Sovereignty
affirmed in Douglass bill-that is, to the right OF
the first few score or few hundred squstters on
new territory to plant Slavery therein if they see
fit without resistance or objection on the part OF
the whole American People acting through Con-
gress. Ofcourse, the adoption of Free Soil Anti
Nebraska resolves by this Convention will incite
him 10 decline ito nomination. Hence we sppre-
bend that the voice of the msjOrity will be stded,
aud resolves that really mean nothing, amount to
nothing, will be, after a smothered struggle,
adopted.
And this brings in view another suggestion,
and very timely one, which we find in the last
Nc,r- York Atias one of the most intelligent aud
thorough. going of the Soft Oracles. That pa
per- after surveying the entire ground, cautiously
and alphabetically recommends the surrender ot the
Soft organization and the adoption Of Judge BRoN-
son and the ,niire AddmaHtne tioket by the Soft
COnrtn,icn at Syracuse neIt ueek. Here Is
specimen of its line Of argument
Judge Bronson is now a candidate for Governor
placed in hat position by respectable Convention
of Democratic Delegates from all the Counties in the
Siae-a Convention that embraced much OF the talent
and energy that have been employed IN achieving
Democratic victories, in the glorious days of party
success IN past ycHcs aod which, # withdrawn from
the regular organization of the Democratic party,
insures its signal defeat, and gives the Nhigs s-the
natural enemies Of both Hsrds' and Softs-an
easy ard an overwhelming victory.
Under there crcumsi stances, the regular organi-
'zation Of the Democracy will assemble in state
Convention NJ syracuse, Ur Wednesday next. 10 take
such As may seem best 70 the delegates as
semDcd 10 insure he defeat of the hig party ani
secure the success OF Democratic principles and meas
ures. With true Democrats in an election OF this
kind, principles and measures are eserytnlny-men

posscd WISHES of the people II matters litte 10 tho
Inass Of the Democratic voters whether Greene Z.

in twenty would give 'chaw OF t-bacco Tor the

ton TO any body yese-whlch Uf them q selected for
Governor of the State. Mere politicians, leaders OF
factions, heads Of elques, ,thce seekers, and con-
tractors may have a choice Of individuals, from selfish
considerations but the bulk OF the voters do nj care
a tupYeuce what IS the name OF the Governor, or
whether lie be classed a. Hard or q Soft, aud
neither tell the difference IN point OF principle
between the two factions.
"In this view certain Soft-SheI mansgers ask how
stands Judge Bronson before the people They as-
,ert that he is well-.ried Democrat-that lie pro-
ftsses TIE same principles of Democracy as are en-
forced BY the National Adnn.sr raOn-ttat he stands
