THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

There seems still to be doubt as to the re-
suit of the election for Governor of New York. The
New York Herald of the 18th n axes up majority
of about COO for Clark; whereas, the last Washing
ton Union claims the election of Seymour. That
paper says:
Most of the New York papers of yesterday morn
ing state in positive terms, that Clark has been elect
ed governor. The Courier and the Journal of Com
merce however, foot up their columns as to show
a small majority for Seymour. Last evening we re-
ceived the following despatch from Albany:
ALBANY Nov. III o'clock, p. m.-Seymour
is positively elected governor by three hundred and
sixty-fve majority"
AS this despatch comes from a source entitled to
our fullest confidence, we do not think risk too
much in saying that the reelection of Governor Sey
mour is placed beyond all reasonable doubt"
