Fillmore In New York.

The enthusiasm now peryading the minds OF the
people of New York, in behalf of Mr.. Fillmore far
exceeds that which prevailed there in ls4s, when
the State was carried by Taylor and Fillmore by
an immense majority. In that election, it will be
remembered, three tickets run, as is the case
at present Oass and Van Buren, divided the OPP
position vote pretty equally between them; Van
Buren beating Cass slightly.
| At the next election there is every reason TO
believe that Fillmore win lead his strongest oppo-
nent, Fremont at least 80, 600 votes, and Buchan-
an from $4,000 to 10000 votes
The action Of the recent convention Of old-line
| Wings at Albany, which was attended by eight
hundred delegates, affords an unerring indication
that the mass of the old National Wing vote will
be cast for Fillmore and Donelson. Governor
Hunt, Daniel D. Barnard, late minister to Prussia,
George Wood, the head OF the New York bar, Hi
ram Ketchum, James Kidd, late postmaster at Al
bany, John T. Bush, late United States marshal Of
the northern district, and other influential and ac
tive Wings, have taken the field for Mr.. Fillmore;
as also have Edward G. Delavan> and John N.
| Wilder, both distinguished for their beneyoeAce
and philanthropy, and never heretofore strictly
identified with either party. The accession of
Messrs Delavan and Wilder to the cause of Mr..
Fillmore may be estimated as securing him at
least TO- 900 votes which he would not otherwise
have received.
Our friends in New York although somewhat
disappointed at the result of the elections in North
Carolina and Missouri, are in the best of spirits
They know their strength and are determined to
put it forth They arc already in possession of the
State government, which is always regarded as
equivalent to 10000 votes, in consequence of its
direction of the State canals which extend in
various directions for 700 miles; and they number
| in their ranks many of the most ndefatigable poll
ticians in the State drawn from the old Wing and
Democratic parties-supported by thousands of
ardent intelligent and energetic men in every rank
| of life.
| From letter received yesterday from gentle
men in Troy, whose opportunities for acquiring
accurate information are of the first character, we
make the following extract: awe have nothing
to fear from Mr.. Buchanan at the North. The
joint Convention which nominated Judge Parker
for Governor Ia Soft SHELLY was only intended for
effect in other States. No one pretends that the
Democratic party has the slightest chance for sue
cess in New York, and the two factions are in
reality no more united than they were before the
Convention assembled.
"A large portion of the Free-soiers or Soft Shells
have gone over to Fremont, and many of the
Hards have connected themselves with the Ameri-
can party. The Democrats are unable to create
the least enthusiasm or to call together single
respectable mass meeting. There is no vitality in
them as party! !"
From another source we learn that the Irish
voters of New York are holding themselves in re-
serve, being as yet in doubt whether they shall
declare for Fremont or Buchanan Archbishop
Hughes was recently coseted for several hours
with Mr. Dayton, at Long Branch, and it may be
that he has arranged this matter to the satisfaction
of the " Republicans"
After careful survey of the whole field, from
Montauk to Niagara, the conclusion is inevitable,
that with proper exertion, Mr.. Fillmore must re-
ceve the vote of his native State There is now
at work there 80 powerful combination of elc-
ments in his favor that it is morally impossible to
prevent it. This consideration should nerve the
i friends of the American in other States to
renewed exertions, to a closer organization,
thorough canvassing of the election districts, and
ABOVE all, 10 Seuefa oheuiauoh vi Aueflcai
documents and newspapers. The Democrats, al
though despairng of success, are working with
the energy of desperation; and the Fremontists
fortified by the Kansas fund, are industrious and
persevering. An equally energetic and system
attic effort on our part would produce results that
would astonish even the most sanguine believers
in the ultimate triumph of American principles.
Shall such an effort be wanting9 Shall the most
glorious and the most righteous cause in which
freemen were ever embarked be destroyed by the
Incidence and supineness of its adherents?
