sentence, bat. ia consideration of the gre
hairs & revolutionary services of Gen. Hull
has RENTED its execution. M
We are gratiied that the sentence was moi
carried into execution and herein we know
we differ from many. Let Gen. Hull have
been as cuipabie as he may. the punishment
due to hrs misconduct or crime could not be
more aggravated than that which is inflicted
by the ignomin Gus sentence of the court, &
the conscmptuous disInission from the army
which has been substituted for it.
Punishment being designed to operate by
way of example to those who might other.
wise tread the same path. more than as a
torture of the offender, should be regulated
by the grade Of character and mental struc-
ture ofthose to whom it is TO afford anexam-
pie.
The punishment Of death terminates with
the struggles of expiring mortality; whilst
punishnents of a moral character, such as
that which is inflicted on Gen. HUI, are not
only mere rotracted and terrible. but, on
that class upon whom such examples are in
tended 10 have effect, viii operate with even
greater force than death. The infiic,ion of
the sentence would have given a shock to
public feeling and to the respectable reia-
tives of Gen. Hull, without adding to the
severity of his punishment or to the magpir
tude and force of the example.-We there
fore think it has been wisely dispensed with.

THE ELECTION, which closed last
veniug in this state, terminated, in the city
and County of York, in the success OF
the republican tickets for IL members of AS
seMbly, and for 2 members of Congress for
the Cd district, consisting of the upper
wards.
There is no doubt, also, of the election Of
2 republican members of Congress in the LIST
district, consisting of the counties of Suffolk,
Queens, Kings and Richmond and the two
lower wards Of New>York aud of the state
senator the southern dis riot.
In Kings, we learn, the republican candi-
date for assembly has succeeded.
New York and Kings have federal mem
bers IN the house at present.
The federal majority in the assembly is
now 10, the change in New York and Kings
makes "a difference, aud settles the repub-
lican majority in the house Of assembly con
clusively.
There is a report that Wcstchester, which
last year elected 2 federaIists aud repub,
lican, has nov chosen all repubIicens--how
correct it is, we know not.
From Newburgh we learn that the votes
in that town. for Congress, were 324 repub
