 Nesr-Yosk EEe.iion-This election closed last eve ning and shaR begin to receive returns by tomOr- rOw'smail The contest in the city will unquestiOn- ably have been very animated and close and we shall
 not be surprised at the successof either party. There isnow . pretty close union between the old Tamna- ny and Locooco branches of the party, which togeth er at the last election out-numbered the Whgs, but by their quareIng and separatiOn the whgssucceed- ed. Another circumstance will probably operate D. gainst the whgs In consequence of the extreme de- precision of business for many months past, large number of clerks have been obliged to leave the city who would otherwise swell the whig vote. Besides, such has been the misfortune of the administration in the recent elections that MT. Van Buren's friends in the State of New-York feel themselves obliged to make desperate effort to carry not only the State, but especially the city-and for this purpose the gem eral and state governments making of all the means that party which feels that is rapidly sink ing in public estimation make to sustain its ing fortunes.
 From what we hear, we should suppose that there would he falling off of Van Buren strength in the State, but we have no hopes it will be sufficient to leave them in minority in the lower branch Of the legislature As the Senate that could not be chan eed under two years, the whigs should elect 0u the candidates they nominated as onefourth of that body only are elected each year, and at present about three-quarters are Van Buren men, Another thing; there are no Congressmen, and no Govern or but only members of the legislature and county o 6cers to eect the whgs do not feel that interest to make strenuous effort that they would under other circumstances. #r
 It is said that Mr. Van Bnren has written to some of his friends in New-Yor that tke cify must he car
 ed ct ou euents that fiji is not his administration must go down--t cannot be sustained any longer- Hence the desperate effort that is making; hence the money and men that the party are furnishing
 ar The number of votes boiled on Monday in the city of fNew-York yas A. 499-a larger number we he heve tmn eier bef,re given on the first day of election. Both Parties claim the majority of course
 0r We stQ ped into the borders ofold Duchess last week, and ere glad to find that the whigs of that county wezg up and doing-and, though the Van Bu- ren fo ye had majority of 10 to 15o0 heretofore, the whS Were sanguine ofsucceeding.
 East Hartford last Monday held her town election 1; and under the very nose of the Regency the Wings succeeded in clecting all their town officers by about 70 majority. Last spring about the same majority the other way. Were they too taken by surprise r.

 DfsPsra'ion.-The tory party in this State, having t,e late defeats of their party in Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio before their eyes, are becoming desperate; and in order to en- deavor raise their sinking spirits are calling at this very unusual period. County Conventions so as to take measures to drive hack into their ranks the fractory democrats who are leaving them by scores in almost every town. It is we trust labor in vain ; their days arc numbered; and the ides of April will show that the PEOPLE arc sick of the humbngging schemes of the present dominant party and are deter mined to give the reins of government into other and better hands.
