NEW YORK.
Tic elections in this State closed on the
7th inst, the result, whether for veal or
woe TO the Wing party we have yet 10
learn. We can hardly expect any thing
cheering from the native State Of Mr..
Van Buren,, fortified as he is by thousands
of Office holders, who look 10 his favor for
their daily bread. These pensioners on
the bounty Of the Administration are
watched with the most careful vigilance,
and wo to those who dare assert their in-
dependence and vote according to the die
tates of their consciences. The New
York Era, the leading Van Buren, organ
in that city thus warns the Office holders
We would just remark TO these gen.
tlemen, that yigilant eye is upon them,
and that their proceedings on the three
days Of Nov. next win not escape scru-
tiny"
The following from the Franklin Tenn
Review, win exhibit the strength Of the
army of Van Boren Office holders,
against whom the Wings have to com
bat:
We hardly look for much from this
State at her present elections. The &C.
tive exerions of the present Van Buren,
Governor-the unwarrantable in,erfer.
cnce of the judges of the courts, and the
immense number of banks and bank off.
GERS. belonging 10 an affiliated league un
der the control of the Van Buren, party
all forbid our expecting any thing like I
gain in that State. Add to these infuen
ces against us,
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY Postmasters.
FIVE HUNDRED Custom House
Oficers.-
TWO HUNDRED AND SEVEN.
TEEN Mail Contractors.
FIFTY NINE Clerks in the New
York Post Office.
TWENTY-FIVE Light House
Keepers,
/ And the thousands Of minor office .hol
dcrs under the patronage Of the State
and i will then be seen what heavy odd
| are against US. Our friends however, ",
doubt not, win turn out like men, and d,
their duty to their country and their prin
lcples. We hope for the best, yet it j
| proper to be prepared for the worst.
JuDGE WHlTE.-This Distinguish
Senator lately addressed letter to Gov
Cannon, of Tennessee, rendering his re
signalion as U. S. Senator, from III;
State. His reasons for resigning are
health, extreme debility consequent on
severe attack Of the autumnal fever whic
prevailed at Knoxville the present seasoi
and a fear that he would be unable to BET
the fatigue of a journey to Washington
Gov. Cannon declined accepting the +,
signation.
OH1o-In proof Of what. we remarke d IA

was entirely owing to the unionof that par

gentleman wrote to the Abolition;sts Of Han
ilton county. We ask forit the attentive pc
sal Of all who doubt that Van Burenism a
Aboltionism are one and the same thing
the Northern States. Dr.. Duncan, the stror
Van Buren, man, says:
