Cur November State Elecsion.- The Seward
siehy b~f.rr the People.
In our approaching State election the budget
of the acts of despotism, spoiatioa and cocrup-
ton of our last bighhanded Seward Legislature
will b. subjected to the test of the popular vote
Of the monwealtb. and the questions are al
rady III lively circulation, what are the pros
poets between the several parties that are pre-
psrng for the copt4sts eau the democratic par
y he 80 far reorgsnized and strengthened by
reiu'orcements as to justify the expectation Of a
wholesome defeat of the Seward oliearchy?
The popular Presidential vote of The State last
fall, III round numbers, was
Fc' John O. Fremont. 274 900
FOR James bnchanan lo5 COO
For hlsyd fillmore. l24 900
Taking this vote as the standard Of the strength
respectively of the republican and democratic
parties, ii will appear that the republicans have
plural sy over the democracy, to start upon, of
10000 votes And yet We believe that this i'm
posing plurality may not ouly be overcome, but
that even now, as matters stand il has been frit-
tered away by the aoominabie proceedings OF our
last spoils and plumber Seward Legislature
1t always requires in this State the intense ex-
cite mepts of Presidential election to bring out
the full popular vote. Aud it always happens
tpat in the first one or two local elections sue.
ceeding the Presidential contest the popular vote
is remarkably light. This is especially the case
in thoee elections in which no direct national is-
sues are before the people. Our forthcoming
election in this view, is purely local, as neither
United States Senator nor members of Congress
are involved in it. We think it, therefore high
ly probable that the popular vote of the State
this fall will be reduced to something near the
vote of 1855 or say $50 900 less than the vote Of
last November. We also undertake to say that
two thirds Of this reduction Will fall upon the re-
publican party, the overwhelming Influence Of
Fremont's popularity, and the pressure of "bleed-
ing Kansas being taken away, on the one hand
while the odium Of this last corrupt Seward LIE.
gisature will be introduced as the dead weight
on the other.
Next, with regard TO the democratic vote. Out
side of this city and its suburbs last fail the de-
mocracy made no serious effort because they
had not the remotest hope to carry the State for
Mr.. Buchanan. But nov they are furnished with
the beet weapons for assuming the offensive In
these aforesaid abouinable legislative acts o.
usurpaton and corruption. Through judicious
management Of their cards, and by active and
united exertions throughout the State, the demo-
Gratis can not only maintain the vote cast for
Mr.. Buchanan, bat increase it by Thousands Of
accessions both from the republican and the
Know Nothing camps.
The democrats united have called State Con-
vention TO meet at Syracuse on the 10th Of Sep
TENDER; the Seward republicans will assemble at
the same place in convention on the 23d. Ia the
meantime, the remains Of the late Know Nothing
party are to be the subject Of special consdera-
ton before State Council appointed to meet in
Brooklyn on the 25th inst, which is near at
hand. This Council will probably ap-
point o State Convention, to come Off
at Syracuse few days after the republi-
cans shall have nominated their State ticket
and proclaimed their platform. But ~ it is evil
dent that the Know Nothing leaders are in the
market there may possibly be an extraordinary
ambassador or two at the democratic Convention,
with oyertures of some practical import, in view
Of the common desideratum Of an anti-Se ward
Legislature.
We can hardly suppose, after their disastrous
and financially exhausting operations Of last
year, that the American party of New York are
in the mood for assuming the expenses Of a third
ticket in the coming election, to be fought upon
its own exclusive party merits and strength.
The taxes involved in this operation will dissolve
the concern. On the other hand, the admission
that Mr.. Fillmore was only run 10 defeat Ere
mont goes great way 70 let US into the practi-
cal active ympsthies Of the Know Nothing
party. Thus, either with or without the advice
Of their leaders, the prospect is thai the bulk of
the Know Nothfngs will do the best they can to
administer q deadly blow to that arch agitator,
". H. Seward, ard bis corrupt clique Of plumber
ing spoilsmen, aud especially as the only practical
issue in the canvass will be the retention OF this
corrupt clique In power or its removal from
authority at Albany.

deayor to cover up their sbomiuations Of last
winter in the agitation of the Kansas question;
