The state Election To-morrow.

Tomorrow will come off the general election
for this State, and in respect, it is an event
Of far greater Importance than at first sight ap.
pears. It has double aspect and double bear
ing-the one regards the State the other the
nation at large. As far as the State issues are
concerned, it is of no Importance whatever.
The men on both tickets-the republican and
democratic-are as like each other as eggs from
the same nest
An attempt has been made to render the
canals the party watchword under which to
rally the interests of the State. But it is a
mockery, delusion, and a snare. Both par
ties have equally mismanaged the canals, and
the leaders of both have grown fat upon the
spoils and plumber thereof Millions on mil.
Mons OF dollars have been already called for
ana raised by loan for the enlargement and
completion of the canals, and the payment Of
the interest Of vast sums alleged to have been
expended on them before. These millions have
been eaten up by the greedy cormorants OF
once, and still their cry is for more. They
now want Two and half millions for the big
ditch, which, OF course, would soon be absorb
ed by an army of officials and contrac.
tors, leaving the canals still unfinished
in order to furnish pretext for raising further
loans. Under these circumstances, the safest
and most constitutional way for the voters
without distinction of party, to act is to reject
thsloan, and compel the Legislature to levy
direct tax, that every man may thus know and
feel what comes out Of his pocket for public
plumber.
The bearing of the election on State interests
has little or no significance; but when we
view it in national light it assumes very
different aspect. The platform of one party
consists, every plank, of Sewardism. The
ticket therefore, represents the ideas and senti-
ments Of the distinguished Senator of New
York "The irrepressible conflict" proclaimed

LATEST PHASE OF THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW
In Massachusetts, they still have prohibitory
liquor law. Under its operation the Governor
appoints State agent, who furnishes to sub.
agents, in the three hundred and odd towns.
liquors to be sold for manufacturing, medicinal
or mechanical purposes. Said liquors are to
be pure and of the best quality. The Office of
State agent was considered to be every fat
thing" in any point of view; but it is charged
that the appointee of Governor Banks made it
fatter by causing the liquors to be adulterated,
or extended" as the slang term is Pending an
investigation by a Legislative committee, the
agent resigned, said resignation to take effect
when the Governor could make il convenient
to appoint successor competent to take charge
OF the State grog. The Governor made it con-
venient in, it is said, less than half minutes
time, and appointed one Sleeper, who would not
awake to the responsibility Of the office, and
declined. What is to become of the village
topers now no one can tell. The country edi-
tors are naturally excited on the subject; but
they may keep cool, the Governor and Council.
to say nothing of the Legislature, which seems
to sit en- permaaence will undoubtedly be equal
70 the crisis.

Our Candidates for Legislative Honors.
Tomorrow the worthy burghers of this an
cient city will have the immense privilege of
declaring by their votes whom they will have
to rule over them, or rather who among their
number are most worthy to be entrusted with
the high and responsible duties Of participating
in making laws for the State and city of New
York. The election for municipal officers pro-
per does not come off for another month or so;
but of late years the legislation for the city
has been done, not in the City Hall of New
York, but in the Capitol of Albany. The elec-
ton tomorrow is therefore matter of equal
Importance to us in municipal as in State
point of view; for the mostinportant measures
that arc to come before the next Legislature
will refer to this city
The theory of republican government is
that the people will choose for public Office the
men best fitted and most acknowledgment of
respectable standing in the community, and who
deserve and enjoy the confidence Of all good
citizens. That, we say, is the theory The
practice, however, differs somewhat; and
it happens, inconsistency enough, that
sometimes nay, most frequently, men are
chosen to sit in our legislative cham
bers, and to make laws to govern us, for no
other reason than because they have distin-
guished themselves as loafers, thieves, DULLES,
shoulder hitters emigrant runners, swindlers,
barkeepers, pettifog ging lawyers, and in other
cognate walks Of life. At the election to-
morrow our citizens will have IN naIa coIac
tons from among eighty or hundred candi-
dates, of whom large proportion come within
the foregoing general definitions II may be
that such antecedents are most desirable for
legislators but it has not always been thought
so. Some half Of the candidates have a local
habitation in our city and name in the Di-
rectory and probably as many as one-fourth
of them contribute to the support of the go
vcrnmcnt by paying taxes. 1t may be, also,
that even as many as one-tenth Of the number
are not entirely Ineligible but might, in any
respectable community, appeal to the suffrages
Of their fellow citizens. These proportional
estimates are, however, very liberal
With such batch to choose from, voters can
hardly do better than--to use vulgar but ex-
pressive phrase-"to go il blind" Perhaps some
wise politician may in time discover q mode
Of getting respectable candidates put forward;
but till that good time comes we must only
put as good face as possible on the matter,
and gulp down the nauseous doses supplied in
equal quantities by Mozart Hall, Tammany
Hall, and the other political conyenticles.

THE HYANN1s KIDNAPPING CASE.


1t will be seen by the reports from Barn.
stable that the important case of alleged kid
mapping, which was on trial last week, has re.
suited in the acquittal of the defendants.
Fragr,entary accounts of the trial have been
already published, but insufficient to harmon
ize this verdict with the intelligent judgment
of a large majority of the people of the Com.
monweath. A brief and concise statement of
the facts may throw other light upon the sub
ject
The testimony and the admissions showed
that Columbus Jones, person living in tho
capacity of slave, with the heirs of Ambrose
Jones of Pensacola, Florida, concealed him
self on the brig Robertson, bound for Hyannis in
Aprilfast; that on arriving at this port he at
tempted to escape, but was put on board
again and heavily ironed; that on the 9th of
May the owners of the Robertson, Baker and
Cromwell engaged Capt Bacon, to take the
"slave" to Norfolk in his schooner Elizabeth
b., then ready to sail for that port that the
engagement was carried out, Columbus being
placed in the hands of the mayor of Norfolk,
anu ny Nun ueHYercu over 10 the heirs OF
Ambrose Jones, in Florida
Two indictments were reported by the Grand
Jury of Barnstable county against the parties
implicated in this conspiracy. The one which
has been now tried was against Capt. Orlando
OF the Robertson, for kidnapping, and included
also Messrs Baker and Crowell, her owners,
and Capt. Bacon of the Elizabeth b. Capt.
Bacon turned States evidence. The testimo
ny for the government and for the defence har.
monized very well, differing essentially onlv
on the question whether the offence charged
was committed within the limits of Barnstablo
county.
The argument for the defense made by Hon.
Caleb Gushing, rested upon various points Of
constitutionallaw. TWAS claimed that the mas
ter has a positive, unqualified right to reclaim
slave, which no State law can qualify con
troll, or restrain he has this right, by virtue
Of the constitution, in every State of the
Union; State laws interfering with this righ
arenull and void any person may act as the as
sumed agent Of the owner in arrestng fugi

Elected Delegate to Congressional Of the
Democracy-The State Election.
LAWRENCE, X. t., Nov. 18th, 1862
One of tbs most significant evidences of the
progress of the 'irrepressible conflict during
the present year, has been the rapid decline of
slavery in the State of Missouri. A few
weeks since the St. Louis Democrat noted the
departure of nearly t,co hundred slaves for the
South, from that city; and from what l have
learned from citizens of Missouri, can assure
you that this is but ripple in the wave that
is sweeping over that State with irresistible
force. There are several counties in Western
and North, Western Missouri, which have dis
posed of more than half of their slave popula-
ton to go South during the year past. Hard
ly steamboat floats down the Mississippi that
does not bear away the victims of the domes.
tic slave trade to the cotton and rice fields OF
the gulf States. -Four years ago the whole
energies of Missouri were directed to the in
sane attempt to force slavery upon Kansas.
Now, not only has the "irrepressbe conflict"
made Kansas free, but its reflex influence has
rolled back again upon Missouri, where its
rapid work will soon add that State to the list
of free Commonwealth.
The U..G. X. X. Company has been doing
a brisk business in Western Missouri recent.
ly The infatuated NIissouriaus are firm in the
belief that the wicked "aboiitionists" of Kan.
sas have full knowledge of the operations of
the company, and most of them believe that
the city of Lawrence is one of the chief de-
pots. From my own knowledge of the nstitu-
ton, | should notdare to dispute this assertion.
Let me tell you, in brief, how one passenger
was put on board of a train headed towards
the North star Intelligence reached Law
renee last Sunday afternoon, that a party of
twenty Missourians had surrounded a house
on the Wakarusa, four miles south of the town
that said house was supposed to contain
proper subject for a passage on the IT. G. r.
| r., and that the house was defended by well
known officer of the company, well armed
| which fact the Missourians did not relish and
were probably waiting for the approach of
night, in order to cover the attack Twenty
minutes sufficed to organize body of thirty
mounted men, and as they rode through the
streets of Lawrence, the glimmer of the
Sharpe's rifles reminded the old residents of
the days of '56. Rumor has it that the party
proceeded to the Wakarusa, the kidnappers
keeping at a respectful distance, took the yerv
| valuable specimen of Missouri propertv from,
the house, and furnished his escort to this
city and | doubt not, Sambo is now in as
safe quarters as he would be in your "puritan.
cal" city of Worcester.
Another instance of the ingratitude of Kan
sas abolitonists occurred a few DAYS since inst
over the Missouri borders. not Calculated to
sweeten the temper of our slaveholding friends
in that state. A wealthy stakeholder had sold
his slaves, about a dozen in number to a
