The New YORK SESATsRsHTP.-The 5th Of
this month is the day fixed upon by our State
Legislature for the election of United states
Senator, to all the place which Mr.. Seward
will vacate on the 4th Of March, TO take bis
seat as premier in Lincoln's Cabinet, and the
excitement among the politicians Of the repub.
lican party is hourly growing more intense.
Albany is in a small fever about that momen-
tous question, and the business of the State Is
for the time submerged in the controversy be-
tween the friends Of the rival candidates. In
fact, the condition Of the country in the present
eventful criss--the question whether there will
be a United States at all to represent in the
senate-is forgotten, in view Of the prospects
of the contending aspirants for the chair Of
Mr.. Seward.

FLOYD WANTED IN CoURr.-Thc late Secre.
tary of War, J. B. Floyd, has been in
dicted at Washington as one of the par
ties, in the matter Of those Indian Trust
bonds, guilty of defrauding the Treasury
Of the United States. VIII he come into
Court when called fort Doubtful. Having
seeded from the Cabinet on a point Of honor,
he may possibly secede from the Union on
point Of safety. Had Mr.. Buchanan only dis
posed of his Cabinet Floyds, and Cobbs, and
Thompsons, and all such disorganizers among
his official retainers, two or three years ago.
we dare say that this great country would have
been saved from the humillating spectacle of
corruption, decentralization, discords, dissolu.
ton and revolution In which II now stands, to
the astonishmcnt and shame of the civilized
world. But Floyd-this immaculate Secretary

Here is vast empire, whose area is far
greater than that of the free States, and is
nearly equal to all the States and Territories
of our confederacy, North and South, and with
a population which ten years ago was more
than two millions and three-quarters, and is
now fully four millions. The immigration to
the Hudson Bay territory, stimulated by the
gold discovery, is immense, and the Canadian
population alone is estimated at upwards Of
three millions. 1t is hardy and thrifty,
and homogeneous with our own Anglo
Saxon and Anglo Celtic population-the
very flower of the Caucasian race.
In 1850 there were 56,214 natives of the United
States in Canada; and the blood which prevails
in our free States is now in ratio of three to
one in the provinces. This we say without dis
paragement of the French, who in arts and
arms and vitality stand to-day at the head of
European nations.
In language, religion and institutions
British North America is almost identical
with our free States. What, then, is to pre-
vent its union with the North? Out of its
vast domain eight States, equal on an average
to those of the South, might be constructed at
once, leaving abundant territory for the erec-
ton of eight more at no distant day. There
can be no doubt that the whole population of
the provinces, with those of the free States of
the North, would not at this moment fall
short of twenty-five millions If united in one
government, the accessions of population from
Europe would be immense, and Yankee activi-
ty would soon develope the dormant resources
Of the new empire. 1t would constitute vast
naval power, ruling triumphant in two oceans
and controlling the commerce of the world.
Mr.. Seward, fattering alike the Northwest and
Canada, has fixed the capital of the new northern
confederacy at or near ST. Paul, Minnesota, not
far from the British line. But it is evident that
the seat Of empire will be New York, with the
federal district of New Washington ten miles
round it-New York. which, in spite of all gov
ernmental or territorial changes, will main
tain its position as the great free city Of the
New World-the centre and the entrepot of
