THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The general election for Governor, Lieut.
Governor, State Legislature and Congress,
commenced in New York, on Monday last,
and terminated on Wednesday evening. The
result, as far as heard from, is most decided
ly adverse to the administration, and seems to
put at an end, for Mr.. Van Buren's term at
least, all the party hopes Of establishing the
leading measure Of their policy, the miserable
and loathesome humbug Of n Sub-treasury.
The small voice from the banks of the st.
Lawrence, re-echoed by the premonitory
symptom" of Manhattan Island, and pro-
claimed and prolonged from the official eeva-
ton Of the "favorite son" here, is rebuked
and slenced into insignifcancc and contempt
by the people, friends and neighbors, whose
ears and understandings it so grossly insuled
SIC ssmpsr tyrannis.
The administration has striven by every
means which its wits could devise, or its
power and intrigue secure, to force the State
of New York, noiens rolens, into a tribute
paying province, and position as false to her
own interests, as unjust to the Republic. New
York, Duchess, Albany and Chenango, were
selected as necessary points upon which the
Executive minions have lavished their strength
with desperate and INSCRIPTIONS determi-
nation of subjugating their people, Furnishing
their independent representatives, and estab
fishing the loco foco despotism upon the ruins
they had hoped to pile. The fearless TALL
MADGE and CLARK, and the whole body Of in
dependent Republicans, because they would
not yield willing hand to promote the selfish
schemes Of Executive aggrandizement, in
cured the utmost severity Of royal displea-
sure. Imported and perjured voters, squan-
dered public money, and every art of seduc-
ton and effort of intimidation, were applied
with an unbrdled proAigacy, upon these de-
voted people and their upright and faithful re-
personalities. The result is highly and
gloriously suspicious to the friends of liberty,
and the hopes of the patriot The people
have spurned the seductions of money and
patronage, and trampled into dust the odious
Vaccinations that comprised their ruin. The
Conservatives of the Commercial Emporium
are abundantly sustained by the voice Of that
vast metropolis. The gallant Tallmadge is
borne upward and onward in his career of
glorious independence and honesty, by the
cheering support of an unbought, untrammel-
led and just constituency. The capitol Of the
State has refused her tratorous sons who sold
themselves to her enemies, foothold within
her walls. She spurns them with the stern
indignation of Justly offended mother. In
the 2lst district, (Mr. Clark's) whose noble
representative had defied the thunders of the
official organ" we fear the Sub-treasury
lictors have proved too strong for the cause of
truth and independence. Money has been
lavished upon that devoted district in such
profusion, that we have doubted whether the
righteous would be able to save themselves
from the hands of the Philistines But if in
trigue and corruption have temporarily triumph
ed over MIR. Clarke, he will have the salts
the people at large applauds his course, and
that his enemies, like the Anakims, may rule
in their Businesses for a time, but the swelling
crowds Of the chosen people will repel them
into outlawry and insignifcance, and final
overthrow.
The vote in the city of New York, is the
largest ever given, the aggregate being 4o,495.
In 1886, the congressional vote was "a, 1877.
From the returns received, it is difficult to
calculate the general result with certainty
New York, Duchess, and Albany have given
the Sub-treasuryites an emphatic rebuke.-
Mr.. Tallmadge's county will give an anti-Sub-
treasury majority probably of from 500 to 900.
We expect to hear of similar results, though
not so large majorities, from Ulster, Orange,
Rensselaer, and Saratoga. If these expecta-
tons are met the loco-focos have lost the
entire State. In any event, they can scarcely
compensate their loss of the very head and
front Of their offending" in New York, Mr..
c. c. Cambreleng,
The causes of this deliberate overthrow of
the Sub-treasury loco-foco partyi New York,
are appreciated by their opponents, though
they may not for themselves. Prescription and
intolerance, added to the offensive coalition
of loco-focoism with the enemies of New
York in the South, and the odious schemes
which were the natural offspring of their
lllegltimate COTTON, disguised thousands of
Mr. Van Buren's original friends, and drove
them into open hostility. The efforts of
these people, combining for safety and saliva
ton for the present with the Wings, have
achieved these results and in tho nravant;o,
