Albany ARGUS. Nov. 4.
| THE ELECTION-4.VD THE TICTORY
One OF the most important political conflicts ever wit.
messed in this city terminated yesterday During the
entire three days, ii was contested inch by inch on
Ooth sides. For, Notwithstanding the multitude of
names assumed by the Opposition, there but fDo
sizes; he Republican tickets; against Anti Masonry
Workeyism, and, with few exec piions, Federalism
The exceptions though few in number, were honora-
bic and elevated instances of the triumph of right
innate o! the character of Anti Masonry and workey-
ism and which, opposing the proscrpve character of
the former and the unprnciped comb OF the
ter, refused to participate in their mutual alliance
gainst the old Democracy.
Notwithstanding these combinations and Goa tiops-
and the most unprecedented efforts Of the Aers-fhe
majority for gou. IhrOop in the city is about THREE
HUNDRED! We congratulate the democracy of the city
and state upon hi. suspicious result.
G0u. Ihr00p has majority in eperV tcnrd-a re.
publican majority never before Obtained The MAORI
~ Tor the republican assembly and ticket in
the city will be about 100; and a majority OF per-
haps 90 Tor Mr. Hammond, the federal work
c. anti NJ asonic national republican candidate This
latter result was produced by the fact that Mr. H. is
resident, and the republican Candidate residing in an
other county, and by the fact also that Mr. III. has
been industrious in circulating ballots with his name
upon every description OF ticket
We have every hope for the election of the
entire republican ticket in ttis county. Iarsus
Now that the contest is over, let all honest men
mark the inconsistency of Anti-masOnry. Those par
zans declined TO make nomn alton in this county, be-
cause es they publicly sverred in their resolutions
il was such a ".nk of masonry" that there was no
hope OF success. And yet they openly supported the
federal county and district tickets including five indi
viinais FOUR of tohom toelL kno,cn fasons! Can
any thing more clearly exhibit an utter destilution of
principle?
In order to induce such Of the deuded follower, of
this Faction as desired TO keep up show OF sisen
cy the Ant-masonc leaders assured them that two of
the FEDERAL workey y anti masonic candidates (Messrs.
Spenc and Hammond) had reuounced masonry, and
,h1t the An'-inasonc committee had their letters Of
Remuneration in their possession. Th. assertion is
either true or false. If true Messrs. Spencer and
Hammond have written secret letters to the Anti. ma
cons Tor the purpose of obtaining their votes Gan at
! int thu l.ta hi
tice oil The state OF New York which letters were to
be kept concealed from the public knowledge If they
are not true, the an-masons guilty of the
fraud ana deception upon those who consent to be made
their instruments. The parties may, if they please,
DIVIDE the dilemma between them. .fB
! MIR. JOHN RANDoLPH.-A few days since tI,e cam
dId editors OF the Journal OF Commerce RECALLED In cir
readers with rare pecs of gossip about Mr. Randolph
our minister at Russia, which they gathered from enc
source and another in their travels in search OF the
marvellous There is scarcely any thing too absurd
and eccentric that they did not discover in Mr.. Ran
doph during The short period he had then passed in ST.
Peterborough.
1t seems, according to these tales that before he
landed "rumors OF an unfavourable character TO Mr.
H. were universally circulated, and carried to the
ears OF the Empress" OF this there is doubt; for in
all probability these "unvorable rurnours were in
dust1ously circulated by the persoDs ST. Peters
ourgh mat sent them accrOs the Atlantic for circula-
ton" here
Before he landed he actually ,een on deck in a
white hat 600 large for his head" and was also actual
seen by those on shore, 10 bow to respectable
Russian merchant, and to strike his upon the deck
All this lie certainly most horriblei
But it seems alo, that Mr.. II. qusrrelIed with his
landlord in four day. after he had taken possession Of
'paclous house that he had rented and order
leave IL within twenty four hours We know little of
the law OF landlord and tenant in Russia bu, in this
countray landlord would not end il easy TO eject
tenant within "a hours, because he Glanced TO
wi n hin. The whole affair is doubtless M anchau

Mkt, Mr.. r. 1ourished his cane about the ears of
the court tailor, and drove him of his house, and
The aoretaid court tailor under the necessity Of
Visiiing him afterwards under the protection Of the
| mericsn consull
Next at bic introduction 10 court his behaviour va,
ridiculous in the extreme, and he acco sied the
Empress 70, most horTble with the appellation oil ma
damel'
And next he took lodgings at boarding house, kept
| by MRS Wilson "'or the accommodation of American
and English masters OF vessels where bis conduct "fs
represented" to have been "quite irraiional?'
Such is "he complexion" (as the Journal Of Com.
mecs has i) Of these "Russian tales respecting the
tralion: and these very pleasantly contrasted by
their vendors, with the "genlemanly Department. Of
MIR. Middleton our late minister, under the late adj
minsirafion.
Now, who does not see in Them another yer.ion Of
the calumnies "eircuated" at the departure of Er
Randolph, about his treatment OF the eso,a;o ef Che
vessel in which he sliled These were shown bv the
subsequent statements of the captain himsen 10 be en-.
tire JdbTedons, started by sueh journals o. their sos.
sip'ng friends, as the journal Of Commerce rad tie
Commercial Advertiser. We venture TO predict, thnl
he first accurate information from 81. Peterborough
will place these latter inventions IN similar light
They ms7 serve present political purpose; but
they will scarcely bear investigation. no.
