 NesU- York Election from nearly the whole of this State in. As we intimaIed last week, JacksOnism has swept through the state like whirl wind, Overpowering and OverthrOwiOg almost every thing in its course. Well, JacksOnism, like fire in western prairie, will have its way for a while in spite of the obstacles thrown around it, Nothing will check it but the lack of stn6bLe to feed upon, when it will expire of its own accord. In the whole number of members elected to the House of Representatives (l28) there are only about fire sir National Repub- Iicans, and some twenty 10 twenty-five An-Ni"sOns. Both of these parties have been apparently greatly di unfinished since the last election. ln the infected disrict" as the western part the state ye, calIcd the Nationals did not run tickels but in many cases where they voted at all, united with ;he Tammanes in preference to the Aniis. Instead of an Gm0lgnm, was last year anticipated by many, and attempted to be effected by such papers as the New-YOrk Specta- tor and New-York Whig, one by whining and the .h- CT by driving, between the Nationals and Ans, they appear be widely separated any other two par ties-lhe Nationals contending that the others purely selfish to be trusted. I6 the Senate of the sate the Jacksonans succeeded n elecling of the eight members 10 be chosen this year. The Antis succeeded in the extreme western district.
 Ep Massachusetts, Governor Linsoln is reelected by large majority over both the Jackson and Anti masonic candidates. Indeed neither Of those parties are half formidable from their bOastng and swag gerng we had supposed. The National Republicans have also elected very large majority of members to each branch ofthe legislature. In Boston, with po- puaton of OOO the Jacksonians had only about $50 votes! the Antis few more.
 In the two Congressional districts, in which no choice had heretofore been made, no choice has at this time been effected.
 William Slade, Esq. the anti.masonic candidate in the district formerly represented by Mir. Mallory, in Vermont, has been elected to Congress- on the third or fourth trial. He s, we beeve notwithstanding, fast friend ofMr. Clay.
 T At the request of some of our subscribers, have this day given place to letter of R. M. Sher- man, Esq. the editor of New-Haven paper, giving his views, in very brief manner. upon the subject Of the Tariff. It will be remembered, that although Mr Sherman is citizen of Fairfetd county, he was de- puted by the Neso. .Hauen Chamber of Commerce as member of the Free Trade Convention which met in Philadelphia short time since and that he attended, land was we believe the only member save one from this siase) Hence this letter. Mr. M-alhough la boring under the odum of ofhaving many years ago ate tended another famous Convention, at Harlford-s among the ablest lawyers and most estmable citizens of this sats. Nevertheess, upon the question which he has touched, it will be readily conceded that he disagrees with immense majority of the population of New England they only believe in the conssi tutiOnalty but expediency of tariff to encourage and hM0 ia fMnni termed the American System"
 The consenling to publish Mir. SheIman's letter
 imposes upon us, in fairness the obligation to publish also some siricturss which appeared in the NewHa- ven Register of week bsfore last, which had been requested to do but declined, from the circumstance that we had not published the letter which gave rise to them. The gentlemen who requested their publi- cation intimated that they written by an honorG- 6 gentleman who has frequently. it is said, eonirbU- ted to ,he columns of tha. paper. We then doubted the s,a.emen,-and still do-for they appear much more like the peculiar vein of the editor than the honorable gentleman Many others tboth editors and eorrespoudenss) have taken Mir. Sherman to task pretty severely for his visonay notions, as they call them. Whether he will consider is incumbent upon him to defend himself from them, remains b be seen Probably he will not. But to the strictures-Thsy
