VICTORY!
The Right hath triumphcd-sound principle as was
10 be expected, has prevailed GIDEON LEE is elect
ed We congratulate our friends on the result, certain
though it was. The Agrarians, tie An-monopollsts
the Evening Post men, cannot rule in this city: Demo
cracy must reign here. We had dcserters
against U.S. as We Wished and had ancient foes
the Wings against but they could not succeed, even
united The true ticket has been elected. The princi
plies and the disc pine Of our party III the ascendant
We concndcd under such disadvantages, for our
friends anticipated serious opposi,lon and the wings
into the field unexpectedly, that we could hardly
rally adequately. But nlatt,r-enough Of Us came
OUT and have made the enemy It's. under the
circumstances, Waterloo victory, the enemy routed
beyond redemption. The Ming and Haskell lads claim
ed TO have been in majority at the general meeting
let the result he conclusive evidence on that point
They have not pOird votes enough 10 fill the great ROOM
Let there be ing about :rr peponderance at
that meeting They made the most no,sc but many
bowling wolves might have done the Their days
is passed.
We have not full returns but enough is known to
make the election OF MIR. Lee quite CERTAIN Our entire
ticket is elected. The charcoal arc LEFT where they
should be. We have decided mdjortes in both the Fifth
and Eighth wards, which have not come in yet-.N J.
Times.
The Result ASD THE TRIrMrn-The e1ertions Of |
the dsorganzcrs have TO naught and the Wings
have received another signal defeat We have had to
contend with faction without and reachey within. The
Wings have exhibited decctu appearance OF apathy,
only that they might better compass their purposes We
think little however of triumph them compared
with our success over the disorganzers. Old Tanmany
has taught another useful lesson to political aspirans
They must be faithful TO her, if they wish success. When
they Join themselves TO new leaders, when they seek TO
mscad by false lights their doom is certuin. The votes
given in the different Wards for Ferris. will prove the
nation in which the Democracy Of the city hold
who has chosen TO lend himself to the opponents of re-
guar party usagrs. 1t is hardly necessary TO add that
The slightest doubt exists of the election Of the Re-
guarIy Nominated Ticket for the Assembly, by over
wllcn.ng majority.-D.
