This Is the <,ay-Oar New York Election and
Other stpte Elections.
Th'.1 IL the day. Our State election comes
OF. this blessed day. Between sunrise nd sua-
fet-and no postponement on account Of tho
weether-thc people Of this great common wealth
are called upon 10 elect q Governor, Lieu
tenant Governor, Canal Commissioner au
Inspector Of State Prisons, thr;y-t rec mem
bers of Congress, the Members of the Asa NIFTY,
the popular members Of our State Legislature,
aud city and county officers throughout the
State including the multitudino s schedule Of
this mighty and misgoverned metropolis
The general battle hinges upon tie Governor,
upon the three grand Issues of the liquor ques-
tion the slavery question, and the Know No
things, and for the gubernatorial office there are
four candidates, VINO stand before the people as
follows
l. Judge Bronson, hardshell, conservative On
the liquor question, the slavery question and
the Know Nothings.
g. Governor Seymour, soft she'll, radical
against the Maine law, coniitionauy IN iavor
of the Nebraska bill, and decided ,ainst the
Know Nothings.
s. Myron H. Clark-A Seward whig, free
soil abolition coalitionist, the champion Of the
Hale party, of the Sar Atoga convention, of the
Maine law party, of the anti-renters, the wo-
mans rights women, the free colored Ameri-
cans" and the various schools Of seditious re-
form re and inddel philosophers Of the day.
A. Daniel Ullman-Know Nothing.
Regarding the abominable anti-slavery aud
disunion principles of the Seward coalition IS
the most mischievous and perilous that have
even been presented to the people of New
York, we reiterate our fixed conviction that
the defeat of Clark is the first question Of the
day, and that the election of either Bronson,
Seymour or Ullman would be triumph aga nst
the Sew ard disunion conspiracy, Of the deep
est moment to New York and the peace of the
whole country.
Next in Importance to the Governor, ia this
view, is the House of Assembly. The efforts
Of the Seward party are directed to his re-elec-
ton to the United States Senate. The friends
OF the Union should combine to defeat him, to
the sacrifice of all minor considerations of party
men or party principles. Throw the arch
agitator out Of the Senate, and the backbone Of
his anti-slavery league against the South will
he broken.
The canvass for Congress has been oversha-
dowed by the liquor question. The Nebraska
bill, however, comes here into active play.
In view of Presidential scrub race, and of
carrying Seward into the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington among the three highest
candidates, the great object of his Goa
lion antislavery supporters is the election of
such members as will, upon the choice for
President, vote right every time" Let the
conservatives of all parties bear this we'll in
mind in their votes for members of Congress
1t is needless to predict the consequences should
W. Il. Seward, through House Of Represen-
tatives packed by Northern anti-slavery al.
lance, be elected to the Presidency.
The choice Of Mayor and the officers of our
municipal corporation we leave without COM
ment to our fellow-citizens, hoping that the
general result will at least secure Us something
IN the way Of practical refor n in the decrease
Of the corruptions, and dirt, and taxes, and
short boy with which we have been so loag AMI
80 shamefully afflicted.
In addition to New York, the States of New
Jersey, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin hol
their State elections to-day. New Jersey elect
State officers and five members of Congress
Two parties are in the 6eld-whig anti-Nebra-
ka fusion, and democratic. Michigan elect.
State officers and four members of Congress
Two parties and whig coalition.
Senator Cass On the stump. Hard fight. ILL
nois elects nine members of Congress and
State Legislature which has to elect United
States Senator in place Of Gen. Shields, dem
Two parties, wing anti-Nebraska Know No
thing coalition, and democratic. Tremendous
contest. Apprehensions that under the destruc-
tive influences of the administration Do1 glas
may be broken down. Wisconsin elects three
members of Congress, and State Legislature
which will have to choose United States Sena-
tor in place Of Walker, dem. Parties same as
in Illinois.
In the aggregate fifty-four members of Con-
gress are to be chosen to-day, and the days
work will decide The political complexion Of the
next House of Representatives. Let the peo-
pie Of New York, consulting the harmony and
perpetuity Of the Union a. the question of all
questions, do their duty.
