Electoral Convention to be held at Harrisburg to-
morrow.
Mr.. Robert L. Martin was called to the Chair, and
G.. W. Reed and Geo. Conpeu were appointed Sec

concentrating all the elements Of opposition to Slavery

The prospect before us is now such that surely
every patriot must be willing to give every disposa-
Bile moment of his time, in the interval between this
and the Presidential election, and to leave nothing
within his power undOne to avert the fearful catas-
trophe of the subsection of this Union for four years
longer to the calamities and disgrace of Border
RuAian and ilhbuster AdministratiOn-and that,
too, not the mere experimental and comparatively
timid and hesitating Border Rufianism and fltbus-
terism of Franklin Pierce but Border Rufhsnism
and fillibustersm made bold and confident, insoent
and domineering BY deliberate popular indorse-
ment or what would be represented and regarded
as such. We have hitherto at times felt the yoke
of a slayeholdng domination to be heavy enough;
but it is to yoke far heavier and more CALLING
that the pusilanimity or fatuity OF portion
of the people in two or three Northern States
now threatens to subject us. The shareholders who
have ruled have always hitherto protested, and
many Of them have with sincerity entertained at
least the theoretical ideas of democracy, however in
therown domestic practice they may have fallen short
| of those principles. That Jefferson, and Madison,
| and jackson, and many other shareholders OF that
class, were democrats in principle cannO: be denied
Il
| Besides, the rule Of the shareholders was greatly
modified by an influence exercised over it by their
allies in the Northern States-an influence which at
| tmes-as for instance during the Administrations
| of Jackson and Van Buren-was decidedly predom-
iuant. We have never denied that there are among
the Shareholders, including rs they do the whole
| educated and cultivated class at the South many
men of intelligence philanthropy and patriotism,
perfectly qualified to serve the nation TO advan-
| tage; though at the same time We have produced
| abundant proofs to show that the ssveholdng

The attempt to set up Judge Whiting as serious
candidate for the Mayoraty is preposterOus. He
has not, and cannot have, chance of being elected
If he had been selected as the Union candidate of
the entire opposition to Mr.. Wood, he would no
doubt have been returned by large majority.
With such nomination, We should certainly have
felt it to be our duty to give him our support Not
that be is the best possible man for the place. He
lacks dscretiOn and BESIDES it cannot be forgotten
that in former times he had great deal to do with
Wood, and even supplied the legal cunning which
saved that individual from criminal prosecution
1t must be said, however, that he shows no great
cunning in now coming before the public as the
candidate of the little clique of Reformers-a very
respectable select committee with no party at all
behind them. The only effect of keeping Judge
Whiting in the field is to draw of a few votes from
Mr.. Blocker and Mr.. Barker. Nobody is more
rejoiced TO see Whiting in that position than Wood
himself. 1t is his best remaining chance of escap-
ing the popular condemnation he SO richly deserves.
As for the chances of Mr.. Wood let no one de-
Jude himself with the belief that he is sure of the
election On the contrary there is very good
prospect Of relieving the public of him. That pOr-
ton of the Buchaneer party who have no sense Of
shame or decency will no doubt still give him their
SURFACES, but the others will vote against him.
Besides, the high place he holds in the affections Of
Mr.. Buchanan, and the probability that, in case
that gentleman is elected President, Mr. Wood will
WELD all the patronage of the Administration in
this city, tends to foster the Jealousy and hostility
with which he is regarded BY the other less shrewd
or more scrupulOus leaders of his party.
The consequence of all is that Mr.. Alderman
Libby has been brought forward and will be voted
for BY all Democrats who have q care for their
own reputiOns or for the welfare of their party.
II is an interesting question how the Democratic
party of New-York are divided in reference to the
question of personal honesty. 1t will be decided at
this election. The votes for Mayor will solve that
curious problem. The prospect now is that Mr..
Libby will receive some 10000 votes, and Mr..
Wood Is, 0C0-nOt enough to elect him.
The contest then really lies between the Know
Nothing and the Republican candidates. We need
not here repeat the reasons why Mr. Barker is not
a fit man for the Office. OF the two, no one can
dispute that Mr.. Blocker would make better
Mayor. We estimate the regular Republican
strength in the city at from 1900 to 90 900 votes.
Mr.. Bleecker will very easily go much beyond this.
All that is requisite is to make the people under
s,snd that the choice lies between Know.Nothing
and Republican, and they cannot hesitate which
to prefer Ard those Democrats whose first object
is to prevent the calamity of Woods reelection,
should know that none of the other candidates can
so well accomplish this purpose as Anthony j.
Blocker. Let Us elect him
