NEW YORK. The following is an extract

civil institutions and the progress of its citizens

Our civil history since the era of the revolu

the operation of the free principles then estab-
llshed, the State has rapidly advanced in all the
| attributes of greatness. No other country can
be named, in which forty years have made so
many and such extensive changes. Our popu-

| New York ELECTION. From an elaborate
compilation in the New York Journal Of Com
merce, of the votes given in 1923 and 1880,
we select the following items In "a Congress.
sional Districts, the aggregate jackson major
tiles, are l7,5l2. In the remaining ten districts
the anti Jackson majorities, were as follows:
Duchess 302, Orange "a, Saratoga (Tayior's
Dlstrict) 14S5, Chenango and Broome 1919,
Tompkins and Tioga 1884, Ontario, Seneca, &c,
2464, Monroe and Livingston 1858. Allegany,
Catteraugus, and Steuben, SIT, Genesee and
Orleans, 1851, Erie, Chatauque, and Niagara,
Cooke majority over Norton and Campbell
400. Total malorites for anti jackson candi-
dates for Congress, IS 500. 1t thus appears
that the aggregate majorities for the ten anti
jackson members elected, exceeds the MAORI
ties for the "a Jackson members elect NV 1907
and consequently, if the choice had been made
by general ticket, as in the case of Presiden-
tIal electors, not single Jackson man would
have been elected.
