THE RECENT ELECTIONS.


We shall endeavor to give our readers candid
account ofthc political news received since last
We shall not initiate our opponents, by ransackinq
the dictionary to find all the high sounding word,
in the English language, with which TO express our
triumph for the favorable, and in some instances un-
expected results we are satisfied with the victories
without the puls and if they ere satisfied with the
puffs without the victories, we are both suited.
In Connecticut, after their triumphant majority of
five or six thousand last spring, the Bank Tories
have succeeded by majority of a few votes only, if
they have succeeded at all; of which there is yet
some doubt-and when consider that at the most
they have only sustained what they before had, all
must confess that the triumph of RepubIicanism in
that state is great and unprecedented The mem
bers of congress elected in that state only to
hold their offices until the 4th of March next.
In Maryland and Delaware had little moth
inc before, and we have the same now they were
formerly old Federal, and they are now Tory Wing
states; but small as they are they constitute more
than one third of the whole Tory Wing interest of
the union
We now.pass on to what considered dlsputa-
bic ground, claimed by the opposition-groundrat ratl-
er wished than hoped for by the Administration par
ty before the recent contest.

.'Ncap Jersey-Our news from New Jersey fully
corroborates the glorious tidugs received Yesterday
We subioin statement of The returns correctcdb by
the latest and most authentic adyiccs The final
of1icul returns may slightly vary the majority, but
will make no material difference, and are more
likely to increase majority than diminish It,
There can be no sort of question that we have car
ried our entire Congress ticket by majority of
upwards of twelve hundred; and that in the egis-
lature the administration party have majority of
ten in Joint ballot. We beg our friends to ponder
for a moment on these results and reflect what go-
rious testimony they bear to the truth of the great
axiom on which are founded the political institu-
tons of this country-the capacity of man for
sef-govcrnment. Let them reflect what arts have
been made use of TO deude the people, what threats
TO intimidae, what force to coerce them. Let them
think for a moment with what wicked industry the
United States Senate laboured all last winter to
malign the President, to prove his motives dshon-
est, his measures absurd, his conduct des otc. Let
them recall the concerted and Simultaneous cry of
panic and distress which was sent forth from that i'll
employed body--the unceasing efforts they made
to spread CONSERVATION and dismay through the
country to sap the foundations of credit poison The
springs of confidence arrest the car of commerce,
and snatch from labour the hard earned fruits of its
toll Let them reflect too, how well and constant
ly these exertions seconded by vcnal press
what force given to them by the ayished funds
ofthe bank. Let them turn and examine the results
of the recent elections, and behold proof of the
virtue, the sagacity the independence, the patriot
ism and the manly frmness of the American peo-
pie, which must exalt them above all Greek, above
all Roman fame.
We have been told repeatedly and cxungly,
that acksonism-whereby was meant democracy
was utterly extingushed in many of the states,
and at best but Pickering in the socket even in those
where the light yet feeby shone We have been
told that the People with almost unanimous voice,
condemned the removal of the deposites as an un.
wise measure-as not merely unwise but uncons.
tu,ional--as not merely unconstitutional, but an
cbulliiion of dsgracefIl personal spleen and male
Violence The people have now, in many Of the
states, spoken for themselves, and given the lie to
