New YoRK CITY EtEoTIoN. Again has tho
Empire City spoken in condemnation OF the oe'
structve policy OF the Administrations Again
has it called upon Mr. Van Buren, 10 abandon
the course which is spreading the blight OF oe''"
over the land--paraly lying the enterprise OF our
citizens and drying up the fountains of individual
aud national prosperity! Connecticut has JUST
spoken-New York City passes along the glad
sound to freemcns' ears, to the trembling powers
at Washington
At the last Charter election there were three
candidates, and the Wing candidate, Clark, hav-
ing more votes than either of his competitors,
was elected. The number of votes cast was
"a, 099, OF which Clark had 17,044. Morgan ".
BUREN, 1912, jacques (loco foco) 4,243-Ciark
.hus wanting OH of majority.
This year Mr. Clark is elected by majority
over the two opposing candidates The vote
given at this election is the largest ever thrown
in the city--viz: $685. Clark (Whig) 1898
Varan ". Bureu) 9,242, Kicker Conservative
338. Clarks majority over Varian, sol; Clark's
majority over Kicker and Varian, 1873.
The Common Council stands 10 Wings to l6
Van Buren-Whig majority,2. The following

THE GREAT RESULT.
GLORY ENOUGH.
TIE DIE CAST. Mr. Van Buren, has again lost
the CITY, and with i: irretrievably lost the State
The Wings have had glorious and unpnrall led
victory not only over their opponents legally en-
titled To vote, but over the countless thousands
80 illegally introduced from other places to over
power and vote down the citizens and residents
of the city. Had the Loco Focos even carried II
majority OF the Common Council, the means
whereby they had succeeded would have form
ed the elements of their own destruction, for
such an attempt TO corrupt the Ballot Box, must
bring with it reaction aud condemnation.
The moderate and thinking men Of both par
| tes-indeed, we may say every honorable gen
teman who has been a spectator of recent events,
felt shocked at the frauds, perjury and corruP-
ton, which too evidently enabled the adminstra-
ton parry to poll SO powerful vote. What
are we coming to in this country? A peacabie
test in party-it is to ascertain the opinions and
views of citizens entitled to voe-it is fair and
honorable party appeal to the Ballot Box. We
are all Americans-lvng under the same Consii-
tuition and laws each Boosting of his freedom
aud equal rights--our political differences be-
tween members of the same national family.
What, therefore, is to become Of our freedom
and rights, our morals, safety and religion, If the
administration Of our Government, is permitted
to embark in such an open, avowed, paipabie
schemes of fraud and corruption as those recent
" exhibited in this city? More than fire touS-
and strangers, having no interest and no domic;l,
are introduced by the partizans Of the admisIra-
ton into the city and brought up 10 the polls to
, decide who shall make our Municipal laws.
, More than four hundred votes over and above the
! ascertained votes in ward are polled in such
ward. Men moved from ward TO ward to sleep
one ght as an evasive qualification. Mere than
200 sailors from The u States vessels of war bro't
, over TO the city to workshops and small crafts
. trading down the North and East rivers, each
known never to have more than three hands,
turned out thirty g. forty voters from each vessel.
Men turned from tbs polls Cor want of legal quail
fcation brought back by administration partizans
and made 10 Stoear in their vote.-Hundreds
with the red clay of New Jersey adhering to
their thick-soIed shoes, presented themselves
TO vote AS citizens OF New York, and all their
perjury set on foot and justified TO enable Mr.
Van Buren, TO say"I haze recovered The city,
r But he has been sgnally defeated as he ought
!, to be, notwithstanding his mighty efforts. There
Is his day clearly ascertained Wing majority "a.
