Wall street is generally of the opinion that Mr..
Seymour is going to be elected Governor of this
State, and people are busily engaged in specula-
ting upon the probable effects of his election upon
the market. These effects are thus far FORE
shadowed by an advance in governments and
decline in gold and fancy stocks. Some parties
are selling their gold and fancy stocks on the be.
lief that Mr. Seymour's election would introduce
more democratic influence into the policy of the
government; and that, the democratic party being
hard money party, the policy of the Treasury
Department would be reversed. Others again
with more appearance of plausibility. argue that
the triumph Of the democratic party in the great
States Of the North would pave the way for some
oyertures for compromise or reconciliation. Some
so so far as to predict that we should have
peace in ninety days. Aprospect of peace would of
course, cause gold to decline to the ncighborhood
of par, and all stocks which have advanced on the
paper money theory would at once fall to- their
natural price, as, after the peace, the public
nue. from taxes and duties would be amply sufi-
cicnt to defray the reduced expenditures of 60
vernment. We give these speculations merely as
the floating talk and theories Of the day.
