Making nett Whg gain ot 4O,647s Inc Whoe number of votes taken the State is nc' tits true SO great by some % or 10000 at other contested elections; but we learn from many intelligent sour ces that had the vote been larger the Whig majority would unquestionably have been more than propor- :ionally increased The reasons given are briefly these In some counties, indeed in many the Wings believed that struggle would be unavailable, and did not attend and in many instances, there was such luke-warmness on tho part of the former Van Buten folks that they mould not attend besides said they, we have become satisfied that the government has been badly administered, and any change must now be fur the better and although it might he un- pleasant vote against former friends, yet if we are induced to vote at all, we must vote with the Whigs." This we are inforn:ed was the reasoning of great many of the former friends of Van Buren, who wished that the Wings might succeed, and who rejoced with them when they had succeeded, but who neglected or declined to voe-but since the election has terminated as it has, openly advocate Whg doc trines and Whig Hleasures, and will hereafter be found openly voting for Whig men that Whig meas ures may be carried into effect.
 And is there not in Connecticut also, large class of such men--men who repudate the doctrines of the administration as being pernicious to the best inter- ests of the country, and who will be found with the Wings at the next election coniendng for principles instead of the spoils" and for men who will carry out these principles?
 Bank Conrention-On Mend1y of last week the long contemplated Convention of Bank officers com. menced it's session in the city of NcwYork for the tensible purpose of making arrangements for early and simultaneous resumption of specie payments. It is said that from 140 to l50 delegates present, including some from the States of Maine, Massachu- setts Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, N. York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, and District of Columbia. Hon. Sam ue Hubbard, of Boston, was chosen President. The Convention generally sat with closed doors of course the progress Of their deliberations could not be well obtained by the newspaper editors. We gather ge- neraly. that the result of the Convention was that at the present time specific period can be fixed upon for the resumption of specie payments. Several peri. ods were proposed the first of April first of May and
 first of July; and committee of one from each State represented proposed by vote of9 & the latter pe- riod, which the Convention finally negatived; and the Convention ultimately broke up without coming to any definite decision. It is believed, however, though not officially promulgated, that was event- ally thought best that whenever any Bank got ready to resdme paying specie it should do so without wait ing for all others to come into the arrangement, and that by this method all would in the of year be ready. From the N. Y. Express of Saturday, we copy the following remarkss-
 The Rank Convention in this city, all probability, will go off in smoke. The probability oi its arriving at any thing. can be judged of by the fac that the Re- port of the Committee of IT. proposing the lst day Of July as day of resnmng specie payments was car, red m that conyention-ayes g.; noes, g. The 1st of March the lst of April and the lst ot May it is said, had been seyeraly proposed and rejected. The mi been discovered offered by some of ie easteYn banks that the Convention adjourn without any decison fo meet again in April We have not, and never had the least belief that the banks in such convention can come to any conclusion. The convention was very imprudenty and unadvisedly called h has done the banks no good, and may do them hurt. When the value of the crops known and the rate of Exchange has sufficiently fallen. then the banks will know what they can do"
 The Convention adjourned on Saturday to meet a. gain on the second Wednesday in April next.
