We have news from Ne,, Y,,rk i y tie M.l•A.ezuma,
Captain Fowler, one day Iter teas bv the last
'the eleotitms were going ,n v. favour
Mr. Polk, and left no doubt that Mr. Clay was
utterly defeated. The Whigs, however, do not
deipair.
They trust to the Senate, to the real friends
of.liberty, and to the spirit of independence which
(4tiginally formed the Constitution. A Whig, journal,
the New York Morning Express, after rdniitting that
itB-party is beaten, thus takes consolon :—" Public
attentiln will next be turned to Waslubigion.

°lldaY. We regard this session, in consequence of
use result of the recent election, and the important
questions growing out of the contest, as more impor-
tant than any we have had since the embargo and the
la
''the majority in the House of Representatives
1111:ttich larger with our opponents than it will be in
Ile next Congress. Their strength is sufficient there
f°l* any purpose which they may unite to accomplish,
and the discussions, whether they end in the success
It.;rtednesfeelyat of measures, in all probability will be of an
interesting character. 'We anticipate, in-
,ueeril a more exciting session than we have had for
Year, —a struggle for the annexation of Texas,—a
combination for the overthrow of the Tariff;—an
e
Mit to establish the Sub-Treasury. These are the
'aol lea to be battled for, and, if possible, to be bat-
toed. down- A party, too, is to be made—a Cabinet
be formed, and our whole body of Diplomatists
h`rnge& The faint—so faint, indeed, that we can
v:(1,17 discern the faintest shadow left—remnants of
tiarrison victory are to be obliterated, and in all
trobability the Tyler faction will be cast off with
contempt than ceremony. Men will change ;
liana there is, we fear, a radical system of proscription
G.waiting for the most meritorious officers of the
rtal Government.
Our eyes are turned upon the Senate with in-
.nse interest. If there is true courage and true pa-
rtotiatti with the majority there, as we believe there
Iti.) all will be well. The destroyer can be driven
t 714 and he must be. Manly courage, prompt de-
.-11,_? a heart alive to the impulses of pure patriotism,
need to comprehend the interesting crisis at hand,
VI carry every Whig senator seasonably to Wash-
It°ll. He will stand as firmly at his post as the
ars of the capitol where he sits, unmoved by
}.lreats, unseduced by bribes, and not terrified by
Constitution.
The oath is upon him to support the
venstitution. The eyes of the people are upon him,
4,..114 he will have to render such an account of his
."'e*ardsliip as h
maereafter will make him a blessing
rs or
lurse to all nkind. We look to our senato as
nt c
(Pr safest, truest, ablest sentinels. We have confi-
tieie in their integrity and intelligence, and while
rule we do not despair of the Republic."

New Orleans
Tropic charges that some
of the votes given in Plaquemines, were by
stients of New Orleans, who had previously voted
1° that city. That parish is capable of polling per-
taps 500 votes, at the utmost, and had, when the
iZslis of 1840 was taken, a white population of
rteen hundred and fifty-one souls! including men,
7°4len and children. let can it be believed, that up
(1 one o'clock, on the ith instant, twelve hundred
eighty-three votes were polled ? At one o'clock,
the vote stood—
For Polk
For Clay .

Majority for Polk

tiIe'PNICBSSEE.—The Nashville Banner prepares us for
loss of the electoral vote of Tennessee, by the fol-
tijikparagraph :—" Our friends in other sections
di the Union will be able to appreciated the increased
tkLubulties of the canvass this year, when we inform
ItouenJ that it is probable there are a thousand, nay we
hncil not be far wrong in saying there are two thou-

tieht From this day we shall wage war upon the pre-

Il
11•-xtract of a letter from a prominent Whig at
~entnond, Va, to his correspondent in this cit3r:—
;;,,-(bur letter of the Bth instant, giving the result of
:re...election in your State, is received. The triumph
tr. Calhoun is complete. You express the opinion
tiltt there will be no important change in the present
,712 f. I think you reckon without your host. My
b;I: opinion is, that the whole system, as regards
prOteCtion
will go by the board. For two years past,
fru " tug senators and representatives in Congress
ra Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, andr
"rgia, have encountered all the prejudice of their
the
States against a protective tariff, believing
he Measure would prove beneficial to the country at
thr.ge, and determined to stand by Mr. Clay through
dodoam iaign. Pennsylvania and New York have
(17.
ed gainst the Tariff, and Southern Whigs
.141at,11, pe.rhaps, the exception of members from Louis-
% ), will not lift a finger to preserve it. Why should
el? I should not be surprised if the views of Mr.
r°nn and Mr. Woodbury should be carried out by
eylresent Congress."

Buchanan and Stevenson, as likely to have a
timer of places.
