into a number Of smaller bodies, where
by minority may become the strongest
of perhaps half a dozen parties, any two
or three Of which, if united, might pre-
vail.
l Thus, while the Sanhedrim at Tam
many Hall, by dint of money, Of promi-
ses Of office, Of rewards already bestOw-

every other AIT which the possession Of
official influence aided by the keys'of
the public treasury, may have insured,
had drilled, discipIined, and driven their
mercenary dependents, in every hole s.
corner of the city-their opponents were
without organization, without concert,
without leaders, or funds, or scarcely a
rallying point! There were no less than
half "a dozen different tickets, if not more,
run by divers bodies Of citizens opposed
to King Caucus-the National Republi-
can, two Workingmen's tickets, the An
ti-masonic, the Anti-militia, the Agra
rlan, &c.
In such state Of things what encour-
agement have the people generally to at
tend the poIlsI The certainty of discom-
future was glaringly before them. Had
these various parties consulted together
beforehand, and through committees Of
conference, or delegates to a general
convention of AntiJacksonans, COM
posed an equitable ticket, giving fair
representation thereon ofthe strength Of
each party, nothing is more certain than
the success which would have followed.
In such case there would have been some
sort of inducement for general turnout
the strength Of the whole would have
been concentrated, and the defeat of
Tammany msrue inevitably accomplish

NEW YORK ELECTION.

The Evening Journal speaking of the
late election in Newly York, says:--"As
usual, this event has been magnified into
a great Jackson triumph, and the parti-
zans of the administration are Growing
accordingly. The people have suffered
themselves again to be shamefully con-
quered by an office-holding faction; and
that too with power in their own hands
whereby the disgrace might have been
easily prevented A single fact will
clearly demonstrate the truth of this as
sertion: The entire aggregate of The Jack
son rotes, talls short Of that cfhe Opposi.
lion last year.
1t is an undoubted fact that the cause
of the apathy manifested by the people
on this occasion, was the great diversity
of tickets got up to oppose the Caucus
party. The very existence of so many
conflicting lists of candidates, was of it.
self sufficient to discourage, if not to dis
gust great numbers of our citizens. This
folly, it is trusted, from the lesson now
experienced, will never be repeated In
those States where the majority princi-
pie is established, where no candidate
succeeds who does not obtain more than
haB of the whole number Of rotes cast,
these divisions may sometimes work
well, in negative sense, against ty-
rannical party; but in this State, where
the plurality doctrine is fixed, where the
candidate is elected who has the highest
number of votes in reference to his com
petitors, and without regard to the phole
understanding can be more absurd

be his feelings on the abstract question,
he was prepared to defer 10 the Jude
ment Of those better informed. His own
interest was very small-he had but HIM
self and his offspring to provide for
But he would have this convention look
the dangers in the facc-contest they
might provide for, for contest they would
have. lie would ask those who had
been long engaged in trade what partc-
ular obligation they felt TO execute rev.
enue laws Of foreign country, especial
ly when those laws were adverse TO the
interests Of their own? Surely gentle
man counted enormously on the springs
Of human action if they would place any
reliance on foreign and rival country
to give efficiency to our system ofreven-
ue.-The day was not far distant when
they would be compelled to adopt the
plan Of making the valuation Of imported
goods at the place where they were en-
tered, and not in the ports of foreign
country. AS to the expense attending
such a plan, what was 1t in comparison
to the goods to be gaincd' Then no
oaths would be asked, no temptations, no
bribes offered for perury-no depen-
dence Oh the antipathies of foreign
country-we should depend for ascertain
ing our revenue upon our own revenue
officers. He did not very strongly COM
plain Of those who viewing the law as
aiming blow at their vital interests, &
unjust in its principl endeavorcd to c.
wade it: though he pitied the man who
would for this purpose do his conscience
wrong. They had heard ofthe tricks of
trade-he hoped that the Legislature of
the country would provide an adequate
remedy. But, he did not seek to precip-
itate the day-come it woodland then
the whole doctrine of protection would be
asailed, and must be defended. lfthcre
was amy evil in the system let it be ta-
ken out of it. Let the whole appear
from the crown of the head to the sole of
the foot without spot, or blemish. Let
the country initiate the policy Of Great
Britain who valued all the goods she
boxed at the place Of entry, and no where
else.
Mr.. McC. concluded by an apology
for troubling the convention-he felt it
his duty to warn them to look this diff
Guilty in the face-and he felt almos: in
clined to move for committee to petit
ton Congress in favor Of such a change
in the mode of valuation as had been
suggested.
Mr.. COKE inquired whether the cotton
trade was subject to the same abuses as
that in woollcn goods.
MIR. Brown replied in the negative
Cottons had but single minimum in the
provisions of the law-and that was 35
cents; but they would have had the same
difficulties as woollens if there had been
Il scale of minimums as in the other case
at 10, 90 and 35 cts. He then further
explained how the minimums in the WOOL
len goods came to be inserted in the law.
The question was then taken on ac-
cepting the report of the committee, and
adopting the resolution with which it
closed-and it passed in the affirmative.

The ship New York, capt. Hoxie, has

lowing from the Commercial Advertiser:
CREATE
The London Courier intimates that the
opinion that the Reform Bill will pass
the House of Peers, lis gathering strength.
Bets to this effect, are offered at odds of
three to one. The same paper adds
"It is earnestly said that, if, contrary to
expectation, the Bill does not pass the
Peers, Parliament will be Immediately
prorogued."
The American Minister, Mr.. Van Bu-
rem, transacted business with Niscount
Palmerston, on the 28th Sept.

Paris papers are to the 9th Septem-
Der inclusive. Every thing was perfect
ly quiet in the capital.
PO l. A n d.
Some of the German papers still flat
ter themselves that the cause of Poland
is not lost. According to one Of these,
"the taking of Warsaw by the Russians
was only the result ola plan, conceived
by the Poles, who wished by this means
to weaken the Russian army by at least
90, 900 men, the number necessary to
occupy Warsaw, and to leave to it also
the care of keeping down the rising pop
ulaton of that city The defence of the
Poles had for its object only, to involve
the destruction of as many Russians as
possible. There are now only about
90, 900 troops and n ational Guards which
took part in the defence"
Another German Editor, maintaining
the same opinion, says-"General Sem
beck is stationed at Sandomir, with co.
900 men, on the rear of the Russian ar
my, to whom the destruction of the bridg-
es of the Vistula, near Cora and dos
sick, has cut off all commune alton with
Russia. Plock is free, and General Ra-
morino, who obtained brilliant victory
over General Golowin, occupies Lublin
In Cracow, the landsturm is under arms.
The body is numerous, and is supported
by 10000 regular troops"
Such favourable views accord so well
with the public wishes, that we may be
led to hope the state Of the case to be
better than it actually is. One thing,
however, appears to be certain: Not
the general suppostion to
the contrary, it is rendered certain by the
annexed Proclamation to the Polish ar
the document should turn
out to be forgery, and it does not look
like one-that the Polish army which G.

GEoRGIA.-Serious consequences are
likely to ensue growing out of the late
election for Governor in Georgia. 1t is
stated that several ofthe returns made to
Governor Gilmer were deiective-that
the votes embraced in these defective
returns would be rejected-and that the
votes then remaining to MIR. Lumpkin,
(who is beyond all doubt the choice of
the people) would not be majority of
the whole number given in. The defect
for which these returns are to be thus
unccremoniously rejected appears simply
to be, that they were directed to the Go
vernon, and not to the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House Of Re-
presentatives. Application has been made
to Governor Gilmer, both verbally and
in writing, by highly respectable gentle
men, in courteous and respectful terms,
to ascertain the names of the counties
whose returns were known to the Exec
utive to be irregular.-But all to no pur-
pose-he takes no notice of their request.
If he persists, the subject will come be-
fore the Legislature. The Federal Un-
ion, paper printed at Milledgevile,
Georgia, says
li it were possible for Legislature,
acting on this great question, so far to
forget its obligations, as to attempt to o.
verthrow the most important right of the
people, on those captious, technical OBJ
jections, which sometimes defeat the
claims ofjustce, and bring disgrace on
our courts of law; will free people sub
NIT to such an invasion of their rightsi

Vaccinations of party in the Legisla-
ture, seize on the Executive Office, in
