I'm orerarheiming Whig ma

TED STATES SENATOR
in the next Congress.
We have received so many well writ
ten, spirited accounts Of the recent COM
plete rout of the Locos in the Empire
State, that we hardly know which to
extract first. The following, however,
from the Courier s. Enquirer, will an
swer well enough to commence with.
Our ELEcTIoN.--Congratulations are
pouring in from all quarters on the re-
suit Of our recent election. The defeat
of Mr.. CAMBRELENG appears to be the
subject Of especial joy-as he is every
where looked upon as the head and
front Of the b-Treasury-and as the
especial representative of Mr.. VAN
buren,. His infamous menace that the
Sub-Treasury should continue the law
of the land till l842, in spite of the la
mentations of the People, has placed
him on a "bad eminence" from which
he will in vain endeavor to escape.
The results Of the election have ey-
ceeded the anticipations Of the most
sangume. They have given the City
for the first time an entire WHIG dele
cation in Congress, and have confirmed
her position in the State Legislature
They have given the State WHIG Go
vernon, and Wing assembly, by an
immense majority. New York has
done her share-and more than her
share towards the publication of that
corrupt branch Of the National Legisla-
ture to whose subserviency and de-
basement we may attribute most of the
evils under which the country has
groaned for the last six years.
This result cannot but strike awe and
dismay into the powers at the seat of
Government The cabal in authority
have really fattered themselves that
Mr.. VAN BUREN was right in attributing
his defeat in his own State to the influ-
ence Of the Banks, and have trusted to
the "sobcr second thoughts Of the
People" in the blind hope that it would
reverse their original judgment, and
place New York in the ranks of the
administration. The Evening Post, the
Globe and the Argus, have for weeks
indulged this hattering anticipation
and their present utter discontinue is
rs unexpected to them, as it will prove
ultimately disastrous. They had no
idea Of the state Of public feeling
They have never for moment reame d
that the People would confirm their frs,
sentence. They believed that New
York would follow in the track ofMAiNF
that it would rescind its first verdict
on the Sub-Treasury, and be counted
for the future among the most stauncl
and faithful ofthe Administration States

nals--such was the opinion of the lead.
\ ing friends Of the Government, if We
can place any reliance on their asser.
tions a thousand times repeated, on
their solemn assurances and pledges to
their friends and allies in other States
But now Mr.. VAN BuREN finds himself
utterly abandoned and condemned by
his own State. His foul libel on her
People is hurled with defiance and con-
tempt in his teeth. He is compelled to
throw himself on the charity and for
bearance Of other commonwealths.- -
How far that forbearance and charity
may extend, we may infer from the
well-known feelings OF Mr.. CALHOUN
and his friends towards the "men in
power" As long a. they regard then
rs the ''vilest and most abandoned
wretches that ever abused authority, >
