Our November Election-Thc Three Par
ties. and tho Two Great Issues Before
the People.
We are within a week Of our annual State
election. Under ordinary circumstances the
results, beyond the boundaries of the State,
and even within tho State, would be regarded
with comparative Indifference, inasnuch as only
local. executive and judicial officers and lcgis
lators are involved in the election. But, in
view of the excitement raised by sold Brown
and considering the peculiar embarrassment
of each Of the contestiDg parties in this contest,
tho commitment of the republican party to the
Presidential platform and pretensions of Sew
ard, the recent collapse Of the American party,
and the demoralized condition of the democratic
party, this local election, within and without
the State, has assumed something Of the lutte
rest of sharply contested and doubtful Presi-
Dental battle.
II is very probable, too, that the general re
suit of this State election will do more to shape
the party organizations and issues of tho ap-
preaching Presidential election than all the
local elections of the last twelve months, North
and South, put together. There are three par
ties in the field-the republican party, polling
popular vote last year Of 247 900; the demo-
cratic party, with vote at the same election
of 100000, and the rump Of the American
party, which, last November had dwindled to
10000 votes. This party, however, may now
be considered as disbanded or transformed
into the half and half or mixed State ticket par
| ty, as between the two other parties The
precise object Of this compromise ticket,
or half the republican and half the
democratic State ticket, is to show to both these
parties that there is a balance of power stand
ing between them capable Of spelling the cal
culations Of BOTH in all eases where the claims
and demands Of this balance of power are not
sufficiently respected.
We apprehend, too, that unless Scroggs, Ull-
man, Brooks, and their confreres of the late
SO called American Utica Convention, were
the last of the Mohicans," this mixed ticket
of theirs will be elected by very decent
plurality In addition to the American vote Of
last year, Of 10000, there were 10000 of the
party in reserve, allowing that the 80, 900
votes gained by the democracy were drawn
from the American camp. Thus it would APP
pear that the still available American force for
the Independent purposes of this mixed State
ticket, is 900 men, Then, again, as compared
with the vote Of the State for Fremont, there
were some $4,000 republicans missing in the
call of the roll for Morgan last November and
perhaps $4,000 Of these men were then in the
way Of repentance and a change of life, and
only holding back for an opportunity to ad-
minister wholesome rebuke to Seward as the
apostle Of the republican party, and to the de-
mocratic rogues and rowdies Of the Albany
Regency and Tammany Hall.
! Here, then, we have in the loose and dormant
materials of last November reserved force,
for the purposes of this years indepen-
dent mixed State ticket, Of nearly 10000
men. With this vote, solidly bestowed
for the Independent mixed ticket, the
rejected half of the republican candidates
for the State Offices to be filed and the rejected
democratic candidates may be defeated by
| from a hundred to hundred and twenty
thousand plurality against them. And the great
achievement Of this result would be practical
manifestation of our independent popular vote
in this State, capable of spelling the plans and
calculations Of both the sectionalized republi-
can and demoralized democratic parties, as they
| now stand, simply by knocking their heads to-
| gether.
Such result is eminently desirable. The
corruptions, treacheries and rascalities of the
democratic Albany Regency, and the revolving
| rowdy tactics and instruments of Tammany
Hall, have rendered the New York democracy
a common byword of reproach throughout the
Union. Hence the defeat by heavy vote Of
this corrupted and demoralized party would be
a good thing. So with the republican party
Its success in this election will comprehend
the virtual endorsement of VIM. H. Seward and
| "Old John Brown" but the defeat of even half
the republican State ticket by an Independent
conservative balance of power Of say one hum
dred thousand men would be equivalent to the
rejection Of Seward as Northern anti-savery
aspirant for the Presidency, and the reputation
Of his platform of an inoessant agitation Of
the slavery question till all the States shall be
made free States or slave States.
These, then, are the two great questions be-
fore the people of New York:-First, will
they endorse the Amounted chief of
our republican party, VIM. II. Seward,
and his bloody sectional programme of apita-
