The general State election, which will take plac® Bext nicath in this city and State, will probably be the most important, and will produce the deep- est consequences to the future peace and harmony of this country, of any election that bas taken place for many years. The importance of its con- sequences arises from the character which has been given to the preliminary movements and avowals ef both parties, relative to the recent compromise meusures of Cougress, and the contiaued agitation of the same anti-slavery subject hereafter. The aviwber of popular voters ia this State is estimated at nearly five hundred thousand. This number is nearly divided between the two great parties—the whigs and the democrats. There are, however, a few sections, or factions, which have a few thou- send votes distributed aniong them, fully equal to give the vietory to one side or the other of the great parties, accordisg as they are secured. Anti rent- ism prevails in e few counties in the iaterior of the State, and may aumber ten theusand votes. Abo- litionism, some years ago, took on a separate and distinct shape, and its ticket got 15,000 votes. So- eialism, or the workingmen, may also number a few thousand. All these parties and factions will be thrown, more or less, upon the two great nomi- nations mude by the whigs and democrats, accord- ing to the tencencies of the day. | The whig party enters the field with great force, and much «ppearance of success. The secession made by certain bolters at the late Syracuse Con. | vention ended in @ farce at Utica, and both sections ot the whigs have now united on their ticket, with | the ridicuious resolutions of tweedledum aad twee- diedee. The whigs have, also, secured, by the | same movements, the nomination of .he Seward | portion of the whig ticket by the anti-renters, They have, aleo, made arrangemeats to secure the socialists and woikingmeo, with all the other isms of the dey. 1a addition to this, all the whig jour | nels and whig meetings, out of the city of New | York avd in the interior of the State, are agitating | the sbolition question on the ground pursued by Seward, and are endeavoring to secure the votes of the whole of that ultra section of the State The whig perty, therefore, of New York, have every appearance of success, by this vast coucea- tration of isms and odds and ends of all the fac tions thet have meen up during the last twenty years. Their position on the slavery question is of a strong end decided ultra charecrer. Agitation is pursued, even to the point of nullify | Sieve law. In fect, in the interior of the State, the whigs essume a complete platform on the abolition and \isunion ground. On the other side, when we look at the demo, eratic party, at the character of their meetings and neminatione, we ere struck with some peculiar j features, which deserve analysis and explanation. The cemeeracy seem to have got over the aboli- tion epidemic, end ore fast recovering their national ground. It is a singular fact, that, although three- fourths ofthe candidates made by the democratic Congreesional conventions, are taken from the free sci! democrats, not one ultra free soil resolution hes been passed by these conventions; but, on the contrary, the same ground of non-intervention has been astumed which distinguished the Balumore platform of 1844. In this respect, the democratic State ticket, eud the democratic Congressional tickets in the interior, present a much more na- tional growed than those of the whigs—the former being for the Union; against agitation in favor of the late peace measures; the latter hostile to the Teceni peace measures, favorable to the nullifica- ion of the Fugitive Slave law, and the general tation of the slavery question hereafter. The only drawback on the democratic side, isthe fact that many of their candidates have beea heretofo favorable to free eoiliem and anti-reatism; but, per- hape, they have now seen the error of their ways, and aie retureing to their old national ground, oa which they have heretofore ace plished their | national victories. it true that Joha Van | Buren hes disavowed that he has abandoned his | old gre ; but the barnbarners generally through- out the State do not seem to join in the same dis the old free eel joned. avowal; fer, in their nomine ground hae been generally aba T stands the position, the priaciplee, the nominations, and the prospects of the two great parties in this State. The whigs are united on the most dengerous grounds—sectional ground, agita- tion ground, abolivon ground, ante rent ground, socialiem, Sewardiom, and every ism of the day. The svecess of the whig ticket wili give the Seward and anti elavery agitation a tremendons triumph. It would create a fresh excitement in the South, end give additional force to disunioa in that regwa. The position, and the principles, and the candidates of the democracy are net exactly what we should have hked, or what every bigh toned friend of the Union and thie mighty republic would wish 2]Many of the candidates are infected with heresies, and have their past lives mixed up with the anti-slavery ogitation; but, as @ whole, they come penrer the platform of the constitution and the Union, and will probably receive the coafi- | dence eod support of the national party elsewhere, in a higher degree than the whiga. | The prospect, thus far, is undoubtediy favorable | to the wi and to enti-slavery agitation, unless | the friends of the Union, from all parties, and | from all quarters, make a strong and determined Movement to avail themselves of the position | of the two factions, and take such ground as to give aid to that party which comes nearest | she platform of the constitution and the Union. | Jn this great metropolis there are frends of | the Union enough to eflect such a purpose, | Who disregard all party ties in comparison to | the preservation of thie great republic, under the | Present constitution, and with its present pro: )ecti One of the greatest calamities of the day wou! | be ‘he election of this State going in favor of S« ward | and abolition. Is it not possible for the friends of | the Union, belonging to ail parties (9 (his metropo | lis, to come forth, make one grand |: monstration | of some kind or other, and, by makine themeclves seit, to preserve va from the terrible consequences ‘which will attend the success of the Seward oxi 4svolition party in this State ’ Brack Mat. ann Sroot Pigson Potirics —Tue Fa Business Commencee.—Merchants, mecha- nies—those steady and sturdy minded citizeas, who pay the chief expenses of the city government, and compose the principal bulk of the voters in the metropolis--know little or nothing about the man- ner in which politics are managed, and how easily the people are cajoled and led by the nose, through the arts of those who live a large portion of the year on plunder extorted from candidates for office. The fall bueiness, with these fellows, has recently commenced, and they are now at work levying large sums here and there from candidates, for which they give certain political promises. To-night, or at some hour, to-day, fixed upon by the ward committees, the whigs are invited to choose delegates to their mayoralty, judicial, con- gressional and ward nominating conventions, and this event will set all the stool pigeon and black mail political wire pullers at work, in ewary direc- | tion, to make money by their operations. Already the swaggering, bullying, hard-drinking, boasting, fighting men—who perform their several offices at our elections, for their own personal and pocket account-~are in the field. They may be found ia clusters at certain notorious taverns about the Toombs and other peculiarly marked localities, and | in the neighborhood of Tammany Hall, whence they stretch to every part of the city. Certaia groups “hang-eut” at the Pewter Mug, others at the Broadway House, or at the Ivy Green, and there they calculate chances, reckon up the pria- ciple, character and pockets of ambitious mea; muke primary stipulations as to the price of nemina- tions ; end, in the midst of tobacco smoke and the H fumes of rum, decide who shall have the power of ruling the metropolis in its various departments. Of these chaps, even the Zribwae has the candor to say:— The machinery of these delegate conventions ia as vi- | cious ar it well could be— purposely leit so by manag. jog members of the general committees. A leading member of it remarked, in reply to our inquiriag re- monetrance, that wireworkers of this and that ward had arranged who should go to this and who to that couventiva, #0 as to york out certuin preordainged results.

So much for the ways of the speculators ia elec tions, the toddy blossom politicians of the Broad. way House, the Pewter Mug, the Ivy Greea, and the small rum holes about the Toombs. The causes and machinery of their | erations lie deeper and are very curious. The desire and deter: tion to have money are the uisiasprings of their action. They commence their fall business by putting their owa mea oa committees—call upon | certain men who are ambitious, and propose such and such an office, but caa propose nothing ualess it is well peid for. If the first bleeding is not enovgh for the patient and these political quacks, a second, and even a third, may be resorted to, and he who pays most 1s in a fair and foul way of wia- nivg most, under stool pigeon influence. “ Give me one thousand dollars,” cries one, ** and we can | nominate you; give us two thousand, and we can | fecure your election in such and such wards.” | One set of these stool pigeons having got their share of plunder, the nominations being kept open by the general conclave for the good of the whole, other persons are called upon, and thousands upon | thourands of dollars are thus drawn out of the pockets of the credulous victims. | After the nominations, more money is wanted, _ sought, and obtained. Large figures are named. | Elections are very expensive—money and not ihe people, they say, will decide the question. Having impressed this upon their victims, the stool pigeoas get, perhaps, some twenty thousand dollars, more or lees; and thus the positioa of committee man is no sineewre one. It pays well. The politicians by trade, then, are a curious set. They doa large basi- neesin both parties; and ali the bolting, bubbub, aad confusion, now end then noticed, arises from the fact thet there is some new intrigue for more plun- der. Is it not time, then, that this system should be broken up? It is not custom house iufluence, alone, that is to be suspected. The evil is in every branch of the political body of the city ; and itis not without « full sense of the danger lo the honest voters of this city, that the Tyrbwne says i= Yet all may be well—will be weil—if the unsalerted whige of oureity wil but claim and execate their rigbiful influence ia theit own primary meetings, If the great mare of our whig artisans, meolanios, moc. chante and laborers would but resoive tolook this Cay earnestly into thie business, Inquire who are the enndi of the various eliques for this or that com- mittes. and what their object is, avd bo ready on Mon: of their reapec- Pight* and cause thone of others to de rerpeet y Wight pot a very different for on alfairs, Whig roa der! will you resolve to give toward the securing of Dro} best exertions from this hour iii your e been (are) chosen’ Let ali parties look to this business.

TI sume bave lain untouched, in various banks, eve, since, the clube being at a loss to know whai to do wih them, till they avcertained how the $25,000 in the hands of Stievegammon and Co. should be dis. posed of. For example, the Thomas Francia Meagher Club, of thie city, contributed and paid, for the freedom of the Irish, upwards of $200, and deposited $225 more in the Bowery Savings Bank, for the earme patriotic purpose. There the money remains vince that time; and fromthe unsatisfactory answers received (rom the Direetory, the members have pever taken opy action as to ites Jin por Tye officers of the Club called ey timer pon the Directory, who put ther with (»jsterions oracular responses about ac thing inture—another Siievegammon in embryo and one of the gentlemen said, that when he died, hia vote world be found recorded, and posterity would in justice.

The thinking, however, has gone on ever since, und it ia likely, very soon, to fiad expreesion in words that burn.

The splendid steamer Arctic, he third of the | Cellins line of New York and Liverpool steamships, having been completed in every respect, proceeded to sea on Friday last, on what is termed an engi- neer’s trial trip, for the purpose of having her ene gines and machinery tested before she leaves here for Liverpool. She left the dock at the foot of Twelfth street, Kast river, at seven o'clock on Friday morming, and proceeded down the nver, Among the invited guests on board, were Captains Eldridge, Collins, Palmer, Comstock, (commaader | of the Bultic, the fourth steamship of the Collins jine,) Cropper, Nicbolus Deau, Eq., E. K. Collins, » Esq., Mr. Geery, of the firm of J. & N. Geery, Mr. Roberis, Mr. Stillman, of ( i iiman, Allen, & ©o.. Mr. H. Lan . Storms, 4 Stilman, jr., Mr. Smith, engioeer of Stillman, | Allen & Co., and several other gentlemen, all of | whem were snxious to see ho this beautiful ves- sel would conduct herself at sea. She started ata little before seven v’ci aud on her course down the river was complimented by the steamship Baltic with a salute, whech was a red from on board the Aretic, and by the ringieg of bells by all the smaller craft, ships ent smboats in the vicinity. Whea opposite the Prooklya navy yard, she passed the United States steamer Saranac, which veasel arrived the eveniag previous from Norfoik, having come to this city on a tr ip. The crew acted as if they would havech the Arctic right heartily, if they bad been permitted to do se, but in the absence | ofsuch permission they contented themselves with admiring her symmetrical proportions, her gigantic dithensions, and the ease with which she walked the waters. As soon as she arrived off the Battery her head was directed towards Sandy Hook, bat before she reached the Narrowa, a dense fog set in which deterred the pilot from proceeding. An an- chor was secordiog!y thrown over,and the Arctic remained stationary for two or three hours,wt the end of which time, the mist aud haze having cleared off, ehe was got under way, and in the course of a few hours the lighthouses on the Highlands were coa- siderably astern. Durieg the time that elapsed from the hour of leaving the Narrows until dark, the guests had ainple opportunity for inspecting all connected with this magnificent steamship, and to explore her from stem to stero, from the keelson to the hurricane deck. In several respects the ar- rangements of the Arctic are superior to those of the Atlantic or Pacific, She carries more sail thaa either of those vessels, and the passengers, daring | inclement weather, are better proteeted than they | would be on either of the other vecsels. The quar- ters of the officers are all on deck, and there is a promenade for their exclusive use, which will ob. viate any interference with them while on duty. [a other matters the Arcticis the samens the others. She is fitted up und decorated in the same gorgeous and mognificent manner, has similar unlimited convermences, and offers similar inducements tu travel'ere, that the other veevels of this line | gree and increased or diminished at pleasure by simply turning a small wheel, not more thaft { {Wice the size of a twenty doilar piece.

This point was much admired and commented vpon hy ts. Eldridge, Cropper, Palmer, and the other old salts om board. In this respect, we doubt if the Arctic can be equatied by any veerel afloat. goes fo sea, ope of the first queeiio. does the steer!

On the whole, it was e Movt satisfactory ‘trial trip ia every point of view— both as regerds the sailing qualities of the Arctic and the opehinery—0nd all on board were per- fectly satistied with the performance of both. We have stated that it is intended to work the botlers of the Arctic at the rate of fifteen pounds pressure to the square inch. -This may seem high, when there is ao impression abroad that British vessels are restnicted to seven. This, however, is wrong The British vessels are worked as high 4s any others, and if any such restriction has been mnade by act of Parliament, the law is a dead letter We are informed, by a distinguished American ea- rt that on one occasion he saw the ers of the British steamship Express worked atu pressure of seventeen pounds to the inch. He went m her on her tnal trip, and observing thut the wheels revolved with great rapidity, he inquired of the engineer how much steam he was usng. The reply was from seven to nine pounds. He was amazed, and the engineer cp in eon- Vereation with some one present, he availed himse if ot Lhe opportunity and proceeded to the hre-room to examine for himeelf. On board British vessels the steam guage is not exposed as it is io Amencap, but is rather concealed. The coa- sequence was that, at first, he could not discover it. After searching for a while, he found it; and lo! and behoid, instead of the boilers being worked at & pressure of from seven to nine pounds, he caw that there was a head ef steam on of se- venieen pounds. The Americanengiaeer, to whom we refer, is a highly honorable man, and inca- puble of anything uatrue. The Arctic hus two side lever marine engines. The diameter of the cylinder ia ninety-five inches, wid the depth of stroke aine feet. She burns an- thracite coal, aud will consume, oa her trip to Liverpool, about sixty-five tons every day. Her officers and crew will namber one hundred and twenty-Kige, viz: one captain, four o! 3, one purser, One surgeon, ten engineers and assistant engineers, twenty-four firemen, tweaty-foar coal beavers, thirty-eix men in the sailing department, and thirty-eight im the steward’s depurtment. She will leave New York on Saturday next for Liver pool; and we would not be at all surprised to hear of her astonishing the public. ¥ We have omitted to mention, in the proper place, that the Arctic conducte herself very hand- romely in a heavy sea. She rolls and pitehes very gradually, and uniformly. She does not, like other vessels, thump, or rise and fall euddealy. The re- Verse is the case, and, in this respeet, she pleased, in o high degree, the packet captains on board aud all the passengers. She will be commanded by Captain Luce, whose Tepulavou as @ gentleman and a@ navigator, are well known to the traveiling community, for be was, for many years, connected with the Liver. pool line of packet ships. Politics. New Youu.—The receut movements in the whig party in this State, im the surrender of the natiowal whig party to the abolition or Seward party, has most clearly Cemonstrated that the entire whig party now stand upon the abolition platform. Though a few newspapers, such as the Albany State Register, Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, and Rochester American, were loud in theirdenunelations of the conrse of the majerity of the Syracuse conyention—-and some of them refused to display im their columns the | nominees of that convention—-they now coasider the course of the Utica convention, im its vir- | tual endorsement of the whole of the proceed ipge at Syracuse, as just and proper, aud the oply course to be pursued for the maintenanse of whig principles. In all the county conventions the quesiions of slave: y, and the Fugitive Slave bill, are | toe first to be acted apoa, and the latter bran ied as an outrage, and one which should not be tolerated 1a } fact. their proceediags amount to nullification out- right, The feeling has been wrought to such @ poiat that severel of the reiigious denominations have mate ita part of their conventional proceedings, and have not been less violeut in their opposition to the fugi- tive slave law, than bave the most violeat abolitionist meeting. At the New York State Baptist copvention, at Brockport, a short time since, the law was declared as contrary to the spirit of the declaration of indepe: | and as op posed to the direct grants of the covstiiation | to'every cliizem, aud to the law of God.

Exorpt in the vicinity of there arc many ~~ slaves, the question ‘very little agitated in ‘tate and will not be made a poytrs question throughoutithe state at the approuch- g election. Vixcista —The agitation against the North in this Btate is evidently becoming more apparent. The Rich- mond Times says the car-ying out of the Fugitive Slav law by the North will sc »ply the true test of the ques- tion whether the people of the Northern and South- «7D States can live together und common govern- ment. If they either nullify or repeal the law. they will satiaty the South thet the Union is no longer toler. able. Inthe eastern and southern counties. the peo- ple are very much exasperated against the North, and though they would prefer the Union, would not sacri- apy interest, and a ally thet which is of so vital importance in an aitural point of view. the Richmond Examiner aye it ina very important matter to the Seuth, and to the whole country, that the pow. x8 of the general government should be ascurtained, and whether the laws can be nullitied to the prejudice of the Southern half of the Union, by a free negro aud abscouding slave dynasty. The fault of theagitacion not with the South. Her long neglected complaints. the insult and scorn with which her remoastrances were treated by the free States, have engendered a bit- — of feeling which it is teared can never be molt- 1 ‘ Noxtn Canorixa.—This State, which has always pur- | sued @ conservative course, having heretofore been under whig rule, and not dispcsed to cry out against the whig majority at the North, now begins to speak of the aggressions of the North. Within a short time, several abolitionists bave been arrested within her borders, one of whom was tarred and feathered. Tue Wilmingtou .furora, a democratic paper, says there ia ‘no doubt but the day, this confederacy are newly numbered. The South bas now suffered too mack to longer bear the burden she has for a number of years like @ gailed horse, and though the compromise plaster hus been epread over it. the wound deepens fnstead of besling. Tnis feeling has been growing for some time; ond at the last State election. in consequonce of the opposition to the South manifested by the whiz pariv, the democrats were succersiul. Several meetings have been calied in various rections of the Btate, and reso. Ju! tons adverse to the perpetuity of the Union passe i. in the event of the refural of the northern States to the execution of the fugitive slave law. Sourn Canouna —The people of this State, of lace, have been very quiet, and very few threats aro inate openly against the North, and great caution seems to be used in tke expression of opinion upon the aggrea siens of the North.

The usual fluctuations of a rising market have been experienced, and nothing has transpired. calculated to give holders of fancy stocks any appro- hensicn of an immediate reaction of an important character. The improvement whieh has taken place ip the periiion aud prospects of most of oxc works copuected with the internal commerve of the coun- try, has given holders confdence in their productive- a and io @ many to hold for the prospective dividends, and make them indifferent to the ups and downs in the market value of the socurities. Tho Tepid developement of the resources of the country, the great increase in the transportation of products from one pert to another, and the augmentation of travel, ell tend to add to the value of the various tlocks &* investments, and change their eharacter. Blo! which have, for years, been termed fan- ches, rapidly becoming dividend paying seeu- iities, ond if the prosperity of the country at large continues uninterrupted for a seriea of years, there is hardly a public work but that will pay some sort of & dividenu upon the amount iavested in ite. courtruction. Railroads are increasing rapidly in the Western States, and thelr construction is con- ferrivg benefits upon the sections through which they pass, that will indirectly, it they do mot di- Tectly, give those interested satisfactory returns for the expenciture. Railroads and canals in the old- eet settled sections cf the country, which have been eoustructed at an immense cost, mast ultimately with the improvements exporienco will suggest, and Becersity enforee, become productive and profita- ble to thore who are shrewd enough to purchase at S great depreciation In our opinion, the time har gone by when the stock of those works which are fa- vorably located, aud the prospective earniags of which are likely to be very great, cau be purchased. at prices much below their Intrinsic value; ast thore who have secured them at « depreciation, are by no means anxious to part with them, even st @ bandsome advarce on prices paid. This ac- counts, in & measure, for the irmuoss and steadiness of che market, a d the moderate flactuations in prices, compared with thove in previous speculative move- mel The ciflewlties encountered by most of our incorporated companies in the earlier stages of their existence, the financial embarrassments most of theme exoerienced duris the construction of the works, tended to destroy public confidence in them, and pro- duced @ great and rapid doprectation in the value of the investments, Impaired credit, extravagant ox- penaiture of capital, falve estimates of cost, roguery and rascality in the administration of the company’s aifaire, and @ great many other causes, produced the Dbenkruptey many bave experienced, and compelled the managemest to resort to all Kinds of remedies for relief, which, ead of relieviog, only pluaged them Ptill deeper Into the difficulty, For years past we have been obliged to record i ‘ablo disasters of thie kind. But many of the ics referred to have seen their darkest days; they ha’ srlves from the Gtancial embarrass they *ere surrounded, aud have placed their «fairs im ® potition that will ultimately lead to permanrnt ad, jurtment, Upon @ basis satistactory to the stockholders and all perties ecocerwed. 80 loog as nothing trana- pire calculated to derange this state of things, #0 long as our works of foternal improvement generally are sivadily increasing to productiveners, so long as they sre judiclouriy m and the revenue applied to- proper purpoves, so long as fair dividends upon the Present market veiue of the various stocks are paid or are in prospect, fo long will holders be indifferent about welling sed so loog will speculation continue to a greater or less extent. The variations la quotations for the principal spe- culative stocks in this market during the past week, have been at aunexed.
