NEW YORK ELECTION.


election. no. as parizans There were higher and
more important interests at stake, and questions m
yolyed of more real magnitude, than the elevation
depression, for time Of politicians OF any pon-
teal party
We rejoice, then, that the Wings have triumphed
in New York, because
Isi They have iriumphed ever the combined
powers of Agrarianism and Infdelity. II IS me-
iancholy fact that In the city OF New York, there
are set Of men headed by the notorious Fanny
Wright, whose constant aim Il Is TO destroy the Dull
warks of society, by bringing into redicule and con-
tempt the institutions Of Christianity, and the most
cherished principles Of social order and morality.
The conduct and course OF these Agrarians and
Jewellers, similar in many respects TO those OF The
Jacobins Of France, have greatly alarmed the pru-
dent and sober minded citizens OF the country. To
man. they Joined the ranks OF the Administration,
and united In It's defence. The result OF the cleo
ton, then consider, In this respect triumph OF
law, order and morality, over anarchy, vice, and
bad principles,
ID There has been triumph Of the People over
Government interference with the freedom OF cleo.
,ons Never was there more unblnshing attempt
bring into conflict the power and patronage OF the
Executive with public sentiment than in the city OF
New York Meetings of the Office holders TO pre-
pare for the election were publicly called, and the
officers of Government, in its pay, and receiving
their daily wages from Its treasury, were the most
active men at the polls All would not do, The at
tempt was rebuked by the indignant voice Of the
people, and free Suffrage was sustained.
Sd. Also, because the people have sustained
worthy and indie pendent Senator, and gallant and
patriotic body Of men, in their determination to free
themselves from the shackles of party and from the
tyranny OF party dictalon. We allude TO Mr. Tall
madge and the New York Conservatives-to whose
honor be il said that they have displayed the true
feelings Of republicans, who loved their country
more than their party.
Alb. Also because II is now manifest that defeat
elsewhere, cannot dampen the ardor OF men who

This is the right sprit--the true spirit. II shows
ndependence-it shows manliness.
9Th Also because we have an exhibition, which
was particularly wanted at this period, OF disre-
gard OF State pride, when the Public LIBERTY IS IN
danger. Let other States initiate in this respect the
noble example Of New York. -. ..-...
These are some of the general reasons separate
and apart from any mere party consideration, why
we look upon the result of the New York election
with so much pleasure and admiration
Added TO these, connected with party considera-
tons, but also deeply efeciing the interests Of The
country may be mentioned the rejection Of me Sn6-
Treasury scheme, on which question the Admins
tration has made its election either sink or swim
the overthrow of the Albany Regency, that powerful
uno which has long swayed the political destinies
OF the Satethe revolution in the Legislature OF The
State-the revolution in the representation Of the
State in the National Congress, and the taking away
Of the "Spoils" from the hands Of those who have
boldly proclaimed that they are the rewards OF the
NlctOTS'-a doctrine, as infamous tue
doctrines Of Fanny Wright and her co-adjutors are
monstrous in morals. .,...
| Who shall say then, that prejudiced men Of all
parties, may not rejoice in the result Of the New
! York election We may all find something al
which to look with satisfacion-nor can we divest
ourselves of the belief that the best friends Of the
President themselves, secretly, do not grieve as
much, as publicly, they are constrained to Affect
