New York Electors.—The editor of the Chenango Telegraph, who was a member of the antimasonic Convention which nominated the candidates for electors of New York, makes the following unqualified declaration in regard to the candidates they will support, if elected.

"The degraded instruments of the Regency are getting ashamed of their cuckoo assertions, that our electoral ticket, if elected, will vote for Mr Clay. They know those assertions to be false—and every man of sense knows them to be false. None but a Knave or a fool, (we speak only of those who have opportunities of information,) will declare that our electors will vote for Mr. Clay. We say this deliberately and with full intention of branding every man with one of these epithets who maketh such declarations. Our electors will, if successful, cast their votes for William Wirt and Amos Ellmaker."
