UNITED STATES.
We have news from New York by the Montezuma,

P.ale Fowler, one day later than by the last
Itivat The elections were still going on in favour
kr. Polk, and left no doubt that Mr. Clay was
ttterlY defeated. The Whir, however, do not
•
despair. They trust to the Senate, to the real friends
of liberty, and to the spirit of independence which
original]
k_y formed the Constitution. A Whig journal,
;me Neu, York Morning Express, after admitting that
narty h beaten, thus takes consolation :—" Public
Ittentinu will next be turned to Washington, where
C°llgress will assemble in two weeks from next
/Ineday. We regard this session, in consequence of
the result of the recent election, and the important
1111e8tinns growing out of the contest, as more impor-

ve,nsely interesting character. We anticipate, in-

•truve•le for the annexation oi Texas,--a
totb•
'nation for the overthrow of the Taritf,—an
e.tirt to establish the Sub-Treasury. These two the
til:AirleiPles to be battled for, and, if possible, to be bat-
t,3l4(mn. A party, too, is to be made—a Cabinet

and
to Waiting
there is, we fear, a radical system of proscription
%waiting for the most meritorious officers of the
„aeral Government.

t r
interest. If there is trne courage and true pa-

ate. he will have to render such an account of his
"straship as hereafter will make him a blessing or
ottettrze to all mankind. We look to our senators as
cftreat, truest, ablest sentinels. We have confi-
-14 in their integrity and intelligence, and while
41ile we do not despair of the Republic."
pt;.'9e, same journal gives sad accounts of the frauds
lo'iled at the elections. Among others the fol-
ting:—
The New Orleans Tropic charges that some
ttesieds of the votes given in Plaquemines, were by
hat
of New Orleans, who had previously voted
uat city. That parish is capable of polling per-
ekPs. 500 votes, at the utmost, and had, when the
thu?a of 1840 was taken, a white population of
vi"ee hundred and fifty-one souls! including men,
to-'en and children. Yet can it be believed, that up
atiti, o'clock, on the 7th instant, twelve hundred
t _tglity-three votes were polled ? At one o'clock,

eT ohe following are extracts from the papers :

the i'llatssEa.—The Nashville Banner prepares us for
lam'sa of the electoral vote of Tennessee, by the foi-
e! tg?t,paragraph :—" Our friends in other sections
cal

OW/1111,11es of the canvass this year, when we inform
up'eat it is probable there are a thousand, nay we
taii4Leot be far wrong in saying there are two thou-
Nen "hig families in this State, of more or less in-
hip,-cei Who have some one or more of their mem-
Theitizens of Texas."
e New Orleans Tropic, heretsfore a Whig paper,
raised the American Republican flag. In its
71!' of the 6th instant, it remarks :
IN r°ll.l this day we shall wage war upon the pre-
Llaturalisation laws, and urge, with what power
*--e,."',.113' possess, such a modification as will compel
tAe4l'reigner who lands upon our shores to remain
eitiztone years, and then receive his evidence of
4ehip from the United States Court only."
8h tract of a letter from a prominent Whig at
"'eland, Vs, to his correspondent in this city t—
