Agrregats of second day,

centre 10 circumference, particularly '"e 'NN"s'
with the aid of Satan and all the powers OF natura
zaton, should win the day
Now the question is" who has the best ofit7'-
awho is licked ?"-" whose nose is pulled most dam
nably?"
To this important question it is difficult to reply
but we say it solemny that if the wings do not turn
out today, they will be most shanefully defeated
Yesterday both John Jacob Aster and WIN. b. Astor,
the first in the Eighth, and the latter in the Sixth
ward, voted against the wings. Such was the state
ment confidently put forth the city. Their rea-
sons were the high taxes LEVIED real estate by the
wing corporation, and the bad tendency Of the mea
sures of the wing assembly. Many of the Wall
street banks going for the locofocos pts aer
They are afraid of such ntangbihties and abstrac-
tons as the Board of Trade The locofocos also
moving heaven and earth TO carry out their purposes.
Yesterday they raised $1,000 in one hour to pay for
naturalization papers ; and the Marine Court were up
TO their eyes in business for the whole day. The foun-
dations of the great deep are opened up-and unless
the wings come out today, lay aside all troublesome
honesty-and become greater rogpes than their oppo-
nents are they beaten TO pieces. This IS the last
push of Mr.. Van Buren, and if he is defeated now he
is defeated forever
We beg the wings to come out today, if they can
possibly leave their easy chairs, their soft couches
Let not the bright sun again set on the blue hills Of
jersey and them fiat on their backs and the loco
focos reading the air with their shouts of victory Let
them recolect that they have contracted with me
lick the ocofocos take licking after election, if
they fulfil not their bargain.
In the first, second and third wards the polling
langushed yesterday afternoon. In the first, at 20
minutes to 4, the number poled during the day
amounted 10 322, making an aggregate up to tina;
hour of lle4.
In the second ward, the number at the close Of
Yesterdays polling was 343.
In the third ward, at quarter past A. $50 votes
had been poled during the day.
In the fourth ward, at 5 o'clock, Cos ballots had
been deposited since the opening CT the poll yesterday
morning. The wings estimated their majority al from
100 10 $50 bat confidence can be reposed in these
calculations, will be seen when we come TO the
sixth ward. Half the voters were turned away for
want of qualification sailor brought up bill Of
ladng a claim 10 vote; another, when asked his
name gave il very readily but after being examined
on other points, and being asked his name forgot the
one he had previously given, and accounted for his
want Of memory by putting an interrogation, who
the devil can remember when he 10 ostled about 60 r.

were selected for their brow-beating accomplish
ments; one Of them, apnggsh, pragmanca person

of giving him Bit Of his e ind in language more
markable for energy and cogency Than for dellcacy

ear seriously incline, whereupon Jock IN Office,

philosopher named Mar, who had himself been
making citizens for tive years, was rejected as net
being qualified. Being told that he was challenged,
ne challenged the law and made speech 10 persuade
the inspectors they were wrong-bu to no avail.
In the fifth ward at quarter 10 SIX, OBS votes had
been delivered in since the morning. The wings sx-
pressed themselves perfectly satisfied and sure OF
their men.
In this ward the canvassers are remarkably active

In the sixth ward, at halt past 5, there had been
polled during the day 52i votes. Being ANXIOUS TO
ascertain the relative result addressed ourselves
10 the Tammany scrutiner, who assured bona fde,
that Mr.. Varian, and the Dimocratic ticket to
ahead. This he stated, was positive. DESTROYS Of
hearing the version Of the other side Intercepted
the whig challenger as 10 his prospects and he in
