NEW YORK ELECTION.

The sober, second thought Of The People seldom

Van Buren,.
The Empire State has spoken-and wha. viii Mr.
Van Buren, say TO the " sober, second thought of
the people, Of his native State, who have SO sig
naly denounced his anrepubican and destructive
measures and driven retirement his Prime Min sler
Z. O. Canbreeng! Will he again attempt draw
public attention from the base electoneering enormites
of his host of pensioned parzans who hold Office under
him. by falsely aud nacousy atrbutng the result Of
this election to bank influence. To our mind 1t mat
tiers not what the future political of Martin Van
Buren, may be- for the past has been bad proscrp
tive and lnolerant, that he never regain the conf
dence OF his first and best friends He fooshly re-
solved TO sink swim" with his favorite Sub-Trea-
sury scheme, and he has sunk where he is deemed
experience that "rem0rSe that comes too late" We
were among the first to advocate his election political
SIN innoceny committed, and for which-after have
done all in our power, we intend TO do to defeat his
re-election--we hope TO be forgiven Though Maine by
means OF the corfupng influence of this host Of Office
holders and hungry expecants, who counting the
smiles OF Executive favor, has been made to kiss the
hand that has blighted her fair prospects, the Empire
State has most Justly denounced her own son. and
goriousy trumphed over mlsrule infdey and official
corruption. .'''..
Proudly has New York. first in wealth. commerce
and trade, and in vast productive works Of internal i'm
proyement, sustained her cherished institutions which
the foundations OF her greatness and Indignantly de-
nounced the ua-radcal and destructive doctrines Of
Loco Focoism. She now lrumphantly takes the lead
IN support of the great principles of the time honored
creed OF democracy. Magnanimously has she proved
her attachment to and principles rather than
to men and the mere catch words Of unprncpled dema
gogues Maine another year. will shake off the shackles
that bind her to whose are destructive
and rninous TO her best interests .~
AT the Presidential election Mr. Van Buren, received
about $4,000 majority in his State but such has
been his anti-republican and the destructive
tendency OF his measures, that there is 900
majority against him, making change in less than two
years Of 10000. ...
This election settles the question beyond all cavi and
dispute that Martin Van Buren, never again be
elected to the high office which he has abused and
proved himself unfit and incompetent to fill, In this
may well rejoice for there is danger of the Govern
ment falling into hands Too much praise cannot
be gwen to the Spartan Band of Conservatives whose
straight forward and patriotic this election
essentially aided in the contamination Of this great and
glorious victory. If the Empire State shall remain true
to her interests and to the great principles of rational
democracy, though her pride has been humbed by
Van Buren,, grateful people will exat her bya Tall
madge. Do the Loco Focos of Maine now sneeringly
inquire for the. balance of power" point them
