NEW YORK. !

Governor, Edwin D. Morgan; Lieutenant Cover
nor, Robert Campbell; Canal Commissioner, Hiram

| rest.
The Congressional delegation stands thus:
Luther c: Carter, rep; James Humphrey, rep;
William B. Maclay, dem; John Cockrane, dem.;
! George Briggs, rep; Horace F. Clark A. L. dem; |
Gouverneur Kemble, dem. Charles II. Van Wyck, |
Abram B. Olin rep; John H. Reynolds, rep; James

rep.; Charles B. Sedgwick, rep; Martin Butter
field, rep; Emory B. Pottle, rep; Alfred Wells,
rep; William Irvine rep; Alfred Ely, rep; An-
| G. Spaulding, rep Reuben L. Fenton, rep.-Demo-
Gratis I; Republicans 26.
The former delegation stood Democrats, u;
Republicans, 81. The changes are in the lst I'd,
| 7th, 14th and 32d districts. The Times says Mr.
Cornng's defeat by large majority in the Albany
Congressional District, is the most remarkable Incl
| dent in the election. He is emphatically man
| hard to beat. To personal qualities well calculated
to make him popular he untes the influence which
large fortune and vast business necessarily confer
His qualifications for public station, though not
what would usually be styled brilliant yet of
high order for, though no orator, he is well-in-
formed sagacious business man, of large experience
and eminent success Personally he is, beyond all
question: one OF those who are too seldom found in
the public service, and who confer rather than re-
| ceve favor when they accept positions in the
| State or National Legislature
! Mr.. Ames j. Wilkinson, the Republican nominees
in the Sd District will contest the election of Hon.
! d. Z. Sickes.
The Assembly will stand Rep. and Union 10, Dem.
25. The Senate holds over, being elected bienniay,
and stands Democrats l3, Republican Is, American
2, l vacancy.
| The Albany Argus (Democratic) SAYS: We have,
| before going to press, neither time the neces-
| sary data at hand for an accurate comparison with
| the vote of last year. But cursory examination
is sufficient to show that there is general gain as
compared with last year. in favor of the republican
| ticket-sutfcient, we have no doubt to overcome
the democratic majority of last year, and elect the
| republican State ticket by decided majority.
| The Assembly will be largely republican, and the
! Senate-with the election of republican in Erie,
in place ofMr. Wadsworth, resigned-will be of the
same political character.
OF the Of this result of course we cannot at
the late hour at which write, speak at length
indeed allude to them, further than to say that
it is evident that Kansas swell, not quite pow
erfu, but of the same general character in 1856,
has swept over the State submerging all other con-
sideratons and shaping the politics of the State al
most exclusively in reference to the slavery ques-
| tion-and also to remark that the American party
to have dissolved, and its constituent parts to
have, to great extent, united with republicanism.
From the Net0 York Erening ErpreSS.l

FIRST AFRICAN CONTRACT LABOR SUPPLY
The policy set forth under this head is the in
crease of black labor in the State by which it is
asserted that the sections may be balanced, the
Union preserved and the principle of justice to the
Southern States established. Then follows the ar
gument, that the enactment of the African contract
labor immigration bill is the only practicable meth
l cd for supply of labor. The estimate is that if
this labor supply is not speedily opened, the anita
gonistic free labor States will in ten years be
than double the socaled slave States. It, of course
is vain to hope that our next President or his
cessOr will sanction repeal of the United States
Slave Trade acts. Such a repeal may well be
deemed impractcable. But if African labor cannot
be got by repea if the North's antagonistic will
and ability yearly decrease the hope of repeal how
can African labor be promptly supplied? The only
prompt, practical, legal and honest method is that
of African contract-labor immigration. This meth
cd is legal Louisiana is virtually committed to its
legality. 1t is honest: England, France and the
United States are committed to its honesty 1t also
is prompt: if the next Mississippi Legislature will
vindicate State liberties and pass the bill, negro
boys from Congo, Benguela or Liberia, may next
/ spring plough in corn-felds or dance in
kitchens, land we, who are the poor men and ruling
majority, may, by the bold and honest exercise of
the liberties, have servants to wait on us. The
great and instant need of the African labor supply
Is to increase the immigration Of whites; to prevent
the monopoly of negroes, towards which we are so
alarmingy tending; to prevent abolition in Texas:
to prevent the drain of negroes from certain border
States, and to people territories already to be here
after annexed.
The white is the thinking and the black is the
thoughtless race The true theory of our labor sys
tenn is that the thoughtless race should do the
thoughtless labor and that the thinking race should
do the thoughtful labor. Negroes, ought, there
fore, to be brute labOrers, because they better
fitted to be such, and citizens ought to be mentasts
and mechanics, because they better fitted to be
SUCH This is the true theory of our labor system,
and all practice ought normally progress towards
truth.
| The policy of the expulsion of free negroes and
the correction of judicial theory is the morality, the
perpetuity and the progress of our labor system,
and the principles are justice to masters and justice
to society. If the Legislature would also wipe
from cur statute books the damnable name of sa-
very, that name with which the whole Caucasian
race associate nothing but cruelty, injustice and
horror, and would call our labor system, not sa-
very, which it is not, but warranteeism, which now
it really is, that would be sensible and bene-
ficent progress.
The argument is that the perpetuity and progress
of our peculiar social organization have never yet
been publicly recognized. On the contrary, every
States legislation and adjudication abound with ad-
missions OF moral and ultimate abolition.
Our present tolerance of free negroes and past en-
couragement of emancipation proofs ofthis.-
Years ago, indeed Supreme Court, in the great
and leading of Harry against Decker, cited
against us by an anti-savery Judge in the bred
Scott case, decided that our labor system was econ
demned by reason and the laws of nature" and
that in of doubt the Court would decree
emancipation because it favored life and liberty
In opposition to this the Legislature ought expel
or economically subordinate the free negroes, and
declare that emancipation is against the negro's
subsistence and true liberty. That masters of
negroes condemned by reas N and the law
of nature is judicial sander, and the encourage
ment of emancipation is judicial treason. If our la
Dor system is unreasonable and Unnatural, its abo-
lition is an unshunable duty, but if both
reasonable and natural its due is perpetuity and
progress. And since false and detestible theory
has been adjudcated, true and commendable
theory ought to be legislated Otherwise our labor
systems, by own showing, demorazes and
stutites
