NEw-YoRK ELECTION The election
in New York for portion Of the State
Senate, Members Of Assembly, sheriffs,
County Clerks, sc. commenced on Mon
day and closed last evening. The cam
paign has been long one, as well as
one of extraordinary warmth on both
sides, and the result is looked forward to
with no little anxiety throughout the
country. IN the City, the Loco Focos,
and the miscnlled Conservatives, united,
excepting in the 18th Ward. In that
Ward, large meeting Of the "demo-
cratic friends" Of Gen. Jackson was
recently held, and series of spirited
resolutions against Mr.. Van Buren's new
notions were adopted unanimously de-
nouncing the union with the Loco Fo-
cos at Tammany Hall, and declaring in
favor of the entire Wing ticket. They
assert that "the credit system is the Vita
instrument Of our common prosperity and
the strongest safeguard against absolute
tyranny" The following is n specimen
Of their resolutions
ResoIred, That the Government which
collects its revenues in pure metallic mo-
ney, and locks it up in its own vaults
from the use Of the people, regardless OF
their wants, can be looked upon in no
other light than as a despotism.
Resoired, That we consider it to be n
primary duty of every government, to
furnish md provide the means of sound
and uniform currency; to foster and sus-
tain the productive Industry Of the coun-
try; and that it is dangerous in the ex-
treme to invade or disturb il by expert
mental and untried expcdicnts, or other
wise Obstruct its saluiary operations.
Resolred, That we have heard with
feelings Of astonishment and Indignation,
Of the interference of Amos Kendall, in
our local politics, in his recent commun-
cation TO Levi d. Slamm; and that the
part taken by other Officers Of the Gen.
eral Government, in our affairs, is an i'm !
pertinent interference, and deserves the
unqualified reprobation of every Repub-
lican Citizen.
Las, year, the Wings of the City poll
ed 1904 votes; the Tammany V. BIS,
1912; the Loco Focos, 4,l83, which
united would give an administration ma
jo,ity Of 95i. The Vanites and Loco
Focos having since united, the contest,
has consequently been much more vigo,
rous, and the result rendered somewhat
less certain, though but little doubt has
been expressed as to the success Of the
Wings.
