NEW YORK POLITICS.
THE POLITICAL CANVASS in New
York State prior to the November elec
tion is proceeding
, with Much spirit.
For all practical purposes the contendiq
parties are reduced to three—Republican
Democratic, and American. In the Re
publican party is co nprised the Seward
portion of the old "Whig party and the
thoroughly anti—slavery. portion of the
old .Barnburner division of the Demo
cratic party. Affilajority of
,the candi
dates on the Stale ticket are of the lat
ter class, with Preston King at their head.
The union seems to be a strong one,' and
so far as we can judge, says the Xarth
Amer frau, is feared by both its oppo
nents as likely to prove victorious. It is
however, opposed by the liquor league;
on accoltet of the passage of a pitrhibitory
law by the last Legislature, in which the
same party ruled. Mr. Seward has lately
taken the field, and made a speech which
has been. noticed and commented upon
far and wide. In the Democratic party,
as now formed, is to be found all the for
eign element which formerly was divided
between the Barnburners and Hunkers,
the followers of Mr. Marcy, and most of
the Van Buren strength. John Van Bu
ren has taken the field in its behalf and
the whole power of the administration is
directed towards its success, The Hard
Democratic convention has produced no
results. The bulk of that_ faction is in
the American ranks, and the rest have
joined the Soft Shells, who are now rec
ognized as the Democratic party. The
Third party is, in fact, broken up. The
American party appears to remain intact
It is said to be quite powerful and nu
merous, taut we have no means of judg
ing. It certainly appears to be harmo
nious and active. These are the three
contestants for supremacy, The canvass
is an unusually interesting one but:how
it will end requires more sagacity than
we can muster.
OPEN ORGANIZATION.
Since the election we are glad to see
decided movements in several quarters
toward bringing about an open organiza
tion of the American party. To this it
must come and the sooner the better.
The Americans of Adams county held a
large meeting last week in Gettysburg,
at which they 'passed resolutions strongly
in favor of open organization. The Lan
caster Register also trigeS'Ple same policy.
The American State Council of Virginia,
last week also passed resolutions recom
mending that all ceremonies of initiation
be discontinued, obligations of secresy re
moved, and that all meetings should be
open and public. This is the true policy
and a speedy concurrence in it will be to
the advantage of the party throughout,
the country.
r ELECTION RIOT IN BALTIMORE--A
special election was held in the 19th
ward, Baltimore, on Thursday last, to fill
a vacancy in Councils, caused by the
death of Mr. Baker, Democrat, who died
the same day he was elected. About
noon, several fights took place, which en
ded in a terrible riot between the Know
Nothings and Democrats. Fire-arnis
were freely used,. and a man, named Bass
Konig, was instantly killed, and six or
eight others dangerously wounded.• The
. fight lasted two or three hours. The elec
tion resulted in the choice of Mr, Gar
rison, Know Nothing, by 75 majority.
A large number of citizens wore preven
ted from voting in consequence of the
4ht.
VOTE OF THE STATE.
L000(00018111 in the Minority
Wie,stated in our las,t paper that there
was reason to believe that although Ar
nold Plumer, the democratic candidate,
was nominally elected Canal Commis
sioner, he would not have a clear majori
ty of the popular vote. The table of re.
turns, which..we subjoin, confirms ' this
opinion. ,The scattering vote for Pass
more Williamson, Kimber Cleaver, Jo
seph Henderson, and Peter Martin, is
found to amount in the aggregate to 13,
090, while Phimer's majority over Nich
olson is 11,536. Humor thus falls 1554
vote sshort of a - majority. The scat
tering vote in all probability is not fully re
turned or he would be in a still more de
cided minority, The vote of each can
didate is summed up as follows:

LATEST FROM EUROPE.—The steam
ship Atlantic retched New York on
Thursday morning, with intelligence
from Europe to the oth instant. The
leading events in connection with the
war are the quartering detachments of
French and English troops in Sebasto
pol, and the fact that the allied armies
of Operation threaten the Russian army,
both from Eupatoria and Baldar. The
French cavalry, under Gen. d'Allonville,
defeated the Russians near Eupatoria on
the 29th. Russian loss, 50 killed and
105 prisoners; French, 6 killed and 27
wounded. A tough campaign is expect
ed, as the Russians are making tremen
dous preparations, and the Emperor him
self is at Odessa. the fleet has sailed
from Sebastopol on a secret expedition,
it is supposed either to Nicolaieff or
Odessa. Kars still held out, according
to last accounts, though the provisions
were nearly exhausted. It was expected,
however, that the snow would compel
the Russians soon to retire. In France
the government has interfered to regu
late the price of butcher's meat.

KANZAS ELECTION.-A despatch from
St. Louis says that the Free State party
have polled 3000 votes for Ex-Gov. Ree
der, as a candidate for delegate to Con
gress from Kanzas. None but actual resi
dents for thirty days were permitted to
vote at this election, which was held on
the bh—The election of Whitefield, the
delegate elected at the former election,in
which the Free State party would not

A PROPOSED amendment to the State
Constitution of Connecticut has been af-
firmed by a recent vote of the people,
and requires every voter to be able to
read. It is exceedingly desirable that
every man, ,and partioularly every voter,
should be able to read the' ballot he is vo
ting, yet we do not regard:such a re
striction favorably.
PASSMORE 'WILLIAMSON.
Another effort in behalf of Passmore
Williamson, was made in the U. S. Dis
trict Court in Philadelphia, on Monday.
A petition was presented by his counsel,
and partly read, when Judge Kane said
- that Williamson had the right of apply
ing to the court to purge himself of con
tempt, but this must he the first step.
This petition not being such a purgation
but apparently a kind of remonstrance
against his , imprisenmenty- the court
could receive no communication from a
party in contempt. Ins first step must
be an application for leave to purge him
self of contempt. That done, he would
be reinstated before the court and have
the same rights , as before his commit
ment. If his counsel differed with the
court, he would willingly hear argument
on the point. Here the matter ended.•
RESIGNATION OF G EN. HITCHCOCK.—
The Washington Star says that Brevet
Brig. Gen. Ethan A. Hitchcock, Co!. of
the 2d Regt. of infantry, has resigned
his commission to take effect on the 18th
inst. Gen. Hitchcock entered the • Ser
vice July 17th, 1817, as a third lieuten l
;ant and reached almost the highest rank
known to the Army. having been brevet
' ted a Brigadier General furgallant and
distinguished services in the storniing
of Molino del Rev, Mexico, September
8,1517. The Star also says, that Gen.
Hitchcock is busily engaged in writing
a work on alchymy, the philosopheivs
stone, &c. He is a gentleman of fine
scientific and literary attainments . . Gen.
Ilitcheock left' the Carlisle Barracks
with his command in May last. The
recent sharp correspondence between
Gen. Scott and the Secret:try of War, in
relation to a leave of absence granted by
Gen Scott to Gen Hitchcock, reveals
probably the cause of his resignation.
Ser The Canal Commissioners will
meet on the 7th of Noveinber, for the
purpose of making appointments.

THE COUNTY rAin !—The first Annu
al Exhibition of the Cumberland County Agri
cultural society, which took place last week,
was truly a triumph I In every respect it ex
ceeded all expectations. Everything conspir
ed to give it brilliancy and success.—
The weather was enchanting. The " bright
October sat" whiCh Daniel Webster hail
ed with such enthusiasm when he made
his great speech from the steps of the Capitol
of Virginia in 1843, never shed a more golden
radiance upon earth thanit did last Thursday.
Propitious nature deigned to give her "pet
days" for our Farmers' Festival, and a more
joyous and enlivening scene has seldom if ever
been witnessed, in our beautiful
The Fair opened . on Tuesday and during
that day and Wednesday.. there was a busy
gathering in of articles for exhibition. On
Thursday the people came—came by rail-road,
in carriages and on horseback—came by
thousands the sturdy farmers, the staid ma
trons and the blooming maidens of Cumberland
Our streets were thronged with ilia multitude
which throughout Thursday and Friday pour
ed in a living stream toward the exhibition
grounds.
The display on the grounds was such as
might swell with pride the heart of every
Cumberland county farmer. The fears which
had beets previously felt as to the success of
the' exhibition, were speedily dissipated as Vis
iters entered the enclosure. The magnitude
and variety of the collection of articles, at once
elicited: a general expression of surprise and
delight. The multitude of visitors were en
thusiastic in their expressions of admiration.
We regret that we cannot give a complete cat
alogue of the articles in the various depart
ments. Such was our intention but we found
the task too great and were obliged to abandon
it. The official report of the society, contain
ing the award of premiums, which we have
gone to a good deal of trouble to secure for
this week's paper, is all therefore that we can
furnish of the debit Bof the exhibition. In
this hundreds of articles are of course unno•
ticed,'which, though they failed to . take pre
miums, contributed greatly to the attractions
of the exhibition and elicited warm expres
sions of admiration from visitors.
The—exhibition of stock was exceedingly
large and attractive, giving gratifying evidence
of the increased attention paid by our farm
ers to the important matter of rearing superi
or horses, cattle, swine, Sc. Of agricultural
machinery there was an almost innumerable
collection, showing-. the numerous inventions
which genius and skill have devised within a
few years past, to perfect the work, lighten
the labor and facilitate the operations of the
farmer. Many of the Machines were manu
factured by our Cumberland county Mechanics
but the largest display was made by the enter
prising firm of Boyer & Bro, of Harrisburg.—
In this department a beautiful steam engine,
made at the establishment of F. Gardner, Car
lisle, attracted special attention and was just
ly admired for its smooth operation and beau.
ty of construction.
In'the fruit and vegetable departments the
exhibition was particularly fine, and striking
ly illustrated the abundance of the season and
the fertility of our4soil. Mr. J. P. Kosht ex
hibited forty varieties of the choicest apples—
Mr C. Stayman, in addition to a display of ap
ples which bore off the highest premium ex
hibited several twigs bearing clusters of Seek
el pears, than which there is not a more ex
quisitely luscious fruit. One of these bran•
cbes, not over half nu inch in thickness, ton 7
tained no less than twenty-two pears. The big
beets, pumpkins, potatoes, &o. were "too nu
merous to mention."
The miscellaneous articles, chiefly contribu.
ted by the ladies, formed of course the most
attractive department of the exhibition; We
have not room to speak of them in detail, nor
could wo do them justice if we had. It was
to be regretted that the buildings appropriated
to these articles were not sufficiently capacious
for their proper display. It is the intention of
the society, we understand, to erect now buil ,
dings by next year, which will be not only
larger but more comfortable and better
adapted to the purpose. The ladies richly de
serve the tribute paid them by the committee.
The beautiful display of silver ware, jewelry,
glass and china ware, gas fixtures, furniture,
paintings &c. also formed rich embellishments
to this department.
The,circulor trotting course was constantly
thronged by. spectators and the speed of the
various "fast nags" watched with absorbing in
terest. The display of One saddle and harness
horses by Mews. Noble, Mendel, Crozier,
Sanderson, Parsons, Parker and others whom
we cannot remember, attracted particular at.
4ntion.
yhe officers of the society. the Committee
of Arrangements, and the various committees
of Judges are entitled to warm praise for their
ufilkearied efforts to promote the success o f
thinilifbleiiiii.l* rticularly may we mention
without disiMrtigMtnt to his colleagues, the
efficient servicOlondered by Mr. George W.
Sheaffer, the Treasurer of the Society, who for
several weeks past has superintended the
preparation of the 'grounds, the erection of
the buildings. &c. and who certainly lek'no.
duty unattended to All the.nrrangements of
the Fair were excellent, and we warmly con
gratulate the menibers of the society upon
the signal success of their first exhibition.
THE CONTINENTALS AGAIN !—The
"Continentals," the most popular vocalists ofd
the day, and decidedly great favorites in our
community, will give a concert in Marion
if this evening. The Continentals are mak
ing their third annual tour, their reputation
as vocalists enhanced and their personal popu
larity undiminished. The vacancy in the
comfiany caused by the death of Mr. Frisbie
is filled by Mr. T W. Watson, raid to be a
gentleman of the highest musical talents: We
bespeak for them a warm greeting this eve
ning.
GRAND PANORAMA.—The elegant
Panorama of the United States, now on exhi
bition by Mr. Early, in the Court House, has
had a decided run for several evenings past.
It is decidedly an interesting exhibition, com
bining entertainment with instruction. The
most interesting scenes of our,country's early
history, with the great events and battles of
the revolution are beautifully brou,ht into
view. An evening can be spent both pleas
antly and profitably in ' witnessing this fine
panorama.
THE WAY FAIRS PAY.—Several
our shopkeepers who made elegant dirpla,ya
at the Fair found theniselves handsomely re
munerated by sales which ,directly followed
the exhibition of their articles. There is no
thing 1 ke showing goods off well, but as Fairs
d J not take place every day the next best way
of ensuring sales is to wive/ lice in the HERALD
with tact and liberality. Thaes 80!

him, but he became so bad at last, as to be
