NEW YORK ELECTION.

The avncibe power Of principle was never
thoroughly demonstrated as in the late cleo
,a ID the city of New York Every extraordin.
N influence which can couteract the free opera.
a Of the original impulse of our political lnsti
alons was brought to bear upon this election.
The money power, in every form, was arrayed
ans Democratic justice Mr.. Tallmadge, in
BIZ late speech in the city, held out to the great
capitalists Of the great emporium an absolute mo-
opoly in the command Of the currency, exchan-
.es and baDking power of the whole Union, to
Do compassed by great machine erected under
he general banking law, and spreading its bran
cAes into every State. The enormous privileged
power seated at what Mr., Tamadge portrayed
a The London Of America, was to supersede Mr.. |
DddIe's sway in Philadelphia and give the law
nhade--fx the prices of mmodlties-furnish
the medium Of purchases command the
eJbs and flows in the commercial world on this
side Of the Atlantic, as the money power in Lon
s don does on the other. This trident was the
Prize which Mr. Talmadgc,warln from the caucuses
Federal Whggery at Washington, was in haste
10 tender TO the fair city as the result of the great
victory she was invoked to achieve. The city
government itself, with all its vast patronage and
power, fully appreciated because fully exerted and
enjoyed 10 present possession, was another strong
excitement 10 inordmae effort, and placed the
means in the hands of those who held it. The
thousands of Iaborers employed by 1.-THE thou
sands Of paupers bribed rather than fed, by the
double taxes exacted from The steady industry of
The city, DIRE" together fearful array against the
Democracy. Then there was the police officers
and constabuay force to marshal and lead up this
power to the polls (; and all the recruits from ad-
lonlng States, whose ballots could be struggled
through tho willing Wing inspectors and judy
es.
The great Federal merchants, too, exerted all
Aer command over the retainers in their employ

'emplatlon of pride or avarice--has most gorl-
oasg and honorably redeemed The great city of
ns Union from the sordid prostitution, in the en-
~ace Of which II had sunk.
