New York Election—Wadsworth and Seymour.
They are having a most animated political contest in New York. Gen. Wadsworth has been nominated by the Republicans for Governor. He is a noble man, of splendid ability, and has a spotless moral character, and stands squarely upon the platform of the President's Proclamation. On the other side, the democrats have put upon the track Horatio Seymour, a whitewashed democrat, on whom they hope to unite both wings of the New York democracy, and bring to their aid such political renegades as Brooks, of the N. Y. Express, and the men who control the Journal of Commerce and the World. This is a great State, and public sentiment as expressed in a popular election, is looked for with a good deal of interest. We cannot for a moment doubt the result. We think the gallant Wadsworth must and will be elected; and his triumphant election will have a wonderful influence upon the great war question now agitating the public mind. God speed the right.
