HE POLITICS OF NEW YoRK.-The boston 1raceller says The New York delegation to the Charleston Convention wiR be : unit, and Soft" unit. It will support some man, and that man may, through such support, get the nomination. We do not know that the Softs have any preferepce,a beyond the desre that ex-Goyernor Seymour should be nomlna- ted; but we presume they are men of too much sagacty to wish, seriously, for the nomi- nation of any New Yorker. Were New 4ork as debateablc state as it was in lS44, or 1852, it would be an act of wisdom to noml- nate Mir. Seymour, all estimable man i'll all per sonal respects, and in talent much above any President we have had since Gen. Jacksons time but under existing political conditions, New York is no more debateable state than is South Carolina, and to seek to conciliate her, on the part of the democrats, would be an act of folly such as democrats do not often commit Let the Republicans nominate whom they may-Gov. Banks, Judge Read. Mir. Seward or Gov. Chase, or some gentleman whose name has not yet been mentioned m connection with the Presidency-and New York will assuredly vote for him. Napoleon III. would have about as much chance in Ve- htia as the democratic candidate will have in New York To nominate man at Charles ton with the idea that he will have salt enough about him to catch New York's vote, would be as wise as it would be for the Convention so to order its action as to seek the vote of Massachusetts. Mir. Seymour could no more carry New York than could Gov. Wise or MT. SIidelI. The Republicans had more than 80, 900 plurality in 1856, and there is not the slightest room for supposing they will be less strong there in 1860 than they were four years earlier. Their votes at local elections afford no means of judging of their strength at national elections. They vote in mass at Presidential election, and then, overcome by such unwoDted excrtion, they go to sleep until the coming round of the next Olympic Games. Some democrats entertain the i'd. a that they are about to absorb the American vote oi 1856, and part of it they may get, if there should be third candidate in the field but the Republicans will be far more likely to get two-tbirds of that vote than the democrats will be to get one-third of it. New York will be power in the Democratic Convention, but in tbe democratic party she is of no consequence. She can make herself felt in selecting the dem ocratic candidate, but she will not compare even with Oregon in the making of . demo cratic President"

SUDDEN DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN
 OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MURDER.
EXCITEMENT IN CLEVELAND. From the Cleveland Leader, Aug. S.1

ExCITEMENT IN CLEVELAND.
 From the Cleveland Leader, Aug sl
 Our city was startled yesterday morning by the announcement of the death of E. T. Sterling we'll known prominent business citizen, by accident or violence. He was found senseless on the pave ment in front of the stairway of the block on the corner of Bank and Frankfort streets, at about 0 clock in the morning, under the distressing cir- cnmstances narrated in the testimony before the Coroners inquest. and died without any resto- ration or consciousness. The manner of his death IS shrouded in mystery, though the testimony of medicai men leaves scarce doubt but he was struck down by blow from some blunt instrument of ruffianism.
 Cleveland, and one of the most enterprising and honorable. For some fifteen or sixteen years he had been at the head of the Cuyahoga Steam Fur mace Company. the great industrial enterprise of steamboat and propeller engines of the company have been used and approved far and wide. and Mir. Sterling was the master spirit of the establishment | The Cleveland Herald adds 'The streets to-day are alive with rumors. It is reported by some parties that Nil. Sterling had | about $500 or S6OO on his person during Saturday evening. The amount won of him at cards by MT Sherman is stated by the latter to have been about $40 or $50, but he was not positive as to the amount. On the inquest the coroner stated that s small amount of money, from $4 to $6 was found on the body. It is known that on Friday evening Mr. Sterling had check for $98, which was cashet that evening, and his friends do not know of hi having received any money on Saturday-the prob ability being rather that some of this would b, spent If the body had been robbed, the thief Jeff the watch behind.
 Considerable excitement has been caused anon, citizens considered highly respectable, in conse quence of the developments made by Mr. sherman in his testimony with regard to their gambln, transactions. The examinations consequent on thi terrible tragedy have opened up mine of unsus pected vice.
 | [Mr. Sterling was native of Salisbury, son c the late Hon. Elisha Sterling and was about years of age.]
