consequence Of irregularity in the pro-
ceedings, the election in two wards Lo-
Gust and North Mulberry will be con-
tested. In the precincts belonging to
Mr.. Watmoogh's district, viz. Spring
Garden, Kensington, Northera Liberties,
Morelanh Byberry, Lower Dublin and
Oxford, the Jackson majority is stated by
the same authority to be 1853, and pre-
cisely the same majority is claimed in Mr.
Sutherland's comprehending Southwa't,
Moyamensing, Paypunk, Kingsessing,
Blocklcy, Penn township, Germantown,
Roxborough and Bristol. The Wing
majority in the city, exclusive OF the
North Mulberry ward, is stated by the
Philadelphia Gazette to be 20l7.
The National Gazette Of Saturday
says The triumph ofthe Wings in the
city was such as may satisfy tho spirit Of
patriotism but victory is claimed for the
Tories IN the first and third Districts
Every one knows that the main struggle
is to take place on Tuesday week, and
no good citizen should he discourae ed, or
relax his efforts, whatever may be the
present statements and boasts Of our an
isgoniAts. In the evening, there was
much disorder in some Of the wards and
one death occurred from wounds receiv-
ed ia All affray in Locust ward. This
melancholy circumstance isl an admoni-
tion for the moderate men Of both parties
to promote arrangements of prscaution
and mutual security against personal Vi
olence and blind tumult.
Vzlliam Perry, was the name Of the
young man who was killed in Philadel-
phia on the night Of the Locust Ward e.
lection. Nearly four thousand men were
counted in his funeral procession. The
following from late Philadelphia papers,
give particulars respecting the deceased {:
From the Philadelphia Herald.
The death Of this young man has been
seized upon by political party as an oc-
cas,on to excite public Indignation against
their opponents. We know not to which
party he belonged, though, if what we
hear be true, he certainly did not act
with the party which has publicly cele-
bratod his funeral one thing is certain,
his death was caused by the illegal and
riotous eaenduct Of the party, which find
ing themselves in a minority on the curb
stone, touk possession Of the usual
place Of holding the elections, and held
il ii defiance Of the civil authority. Had
the laws and civil officers been respected
and obeyed, tho decease, who by the way,
took no part IN the fray, would at this
time have been living.
The following appeared in large let
tors. posted on the different street cor
ners, early yesterday morning, and we
hope it may speedily lead to the detection
of the wretch, who committed the horrid
deed.

"A letter from respectable mercantile
house in Philadelphia, received at New
Y ork, states that second man died on
Tuesday, who was wounded at the same
ward with Perry. Tho letter states that
several others were very badly wounded.
- The Phil. u. S. Gazette is dressed in
mourning on account Of the death Of Per-

her Of the Jackson party, but seeded
lately 1--WE speak from information, having
had no acquaintance with the deceased. }
Il is stated to US, that he was counted
off among the Wings, and at the time Of
receiviue tho wound of which he died, was
standing quietly apart from the crowd ,and
AZ might have been supposed, from dan
ger.
While we deeply deplore tho fatal E.
vent, az we'll on account Of those VINO
directly suffered theretrom, as for the
arodit of our city, we cannot include 10
the ceusure which such deserves, the
whole Of the Van Buren party.
The sanction which that party has CIV
en- 10 violence on the days Of elections,
deserves deep reprobatiou but homicide
+, eharpeable directly upon those who
struck the blow, or were to the intention
Of the wicked perpetrator.
On Tuesday, John Winchell, aged -,

o,,,der of his son. The Jury returned

Sh.tiff TO interccde with the court, to
oronouuce sentence Of death upon him.
