Columbus Democrat. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-18??, 1838-12-01
NEW YORK ELECTION.

We are beaten beyond doubt in The Empire
State The only question now is how far the
Wigs are ahead. Seward, the federal candidate
for Governor is certainly elected His majority
IS yarlously stated at from seven to fifteen thou
sand. Out Of the party members elected to
Congress, the wings claim from 90 to 27. The
House of Assembly according to the statements
Of the Federal papers, stands 81 wings 10 Al
Democrats. In the Senate there is a small dem
ocrahc majority.
The Journal Of Commerce Of the 9Th inst.
I've learn from the Nashville Whig,) contained
the returns from all the counties in the State, eX
cept Cataraugus; Stewards majority lQ,979
Cetaraugus il is thought, has increased this ma
joa'y some 300.
Such3 ihc amount Of or news Ilom the New
York election, Ii isno good we admit, but al
the same time ii is not SO very bad, There Is
nothing in il TO cause dependency in the Demo
cratic ranks. On the contrary there is every
thing to hope from it. Compared with the re-
suit Of the election last fall, it shows a democratic
gain Of many thousands. The bank and mer-
ctntlc influence backed by the whsle ilbc Of alb
olitioaists, have succeeded over tie honest yeo-
manry and working men. We would infinitely
prefer defeat with the latter to victory with the
former

The Hon. Mr. Morris, the present incumbent"
We shall see Mr. Morris superseded with all

Congress, bespeaks an .abohtionist. His couse

We say amen to The above, with all our heart.
Mr. Morris is the only democratic U. 5. Senator
who is tinctured with aboIltionism, and we wish
10 see him turned out. We would even prefer a
such men in our ranks.
