The counter evolution the political tone Of this
state, which began in this city last spring. has made
immense progress between that time and the present
election Ii is but comparatively short time since
the wings had majority OF TO- $40 in this state,
and according to present appearances, this majority
will be diminished at least $3.50. The probability is,
according to present appearances, that the wings
will have majority. both in the senate and the as
senbly but in the latter house, their majority will
be greatly diminished. But, whether the wings do
do not have a majority in the legislature, they
will lose some 5000 votes in the aggregate number
poled the state; and if the counter
tuition progresses in the ratio up to the next
Suberuatorial election the locofocos will elect their
candidates for Governor and Lieut.. Governor, with
one or both houses Of the leg isiature.
The grand result then is, that The wings have lost
grouRd. The chances that they will have bat
bare majority in joint ballot; and the impulse of
change passes from county to county in the next
twelve menths, there 10 little doubt that locofoco
Governor will be elected for the next term; unless
In the interim the wings adopt some popular means
to arrest the great change in public opinions take
up some popular candidate for President, such as
General Scott to be nominated at the Convention at
Harrisburg Such step this, and such step
alone, them from disgraceful defeat again
At the very next election, and that will be
disastrous in its results than the defeat they have
experienced in the city the present occasion.
What, then, will be the actual result Of the power
obtained by the wings in the next State Legislature
Whatuse will they make Of the powerthey have thus
obtainedl
These arc highly important questions, involving,
they do, the interests and ellbeng Of the whole
community From the present aspect Of the ensuing
Congress there is little doubt but that the ultra
Of the administration party, subtreasury spe
Gle clause, and all the etceteras and dependencies
thereto connected will be passed pretty early in the
session. II is therefore highly important point to
ascertain the intentions Of State Legislature in
relation to finance and the currency. The wing ma
jority in legislature will WELD immense power
this particular subject, we'll all that which
relates to the great question Of internal improve
ments.
What, therefore, ought the wings to do in the en-
suing session. The 6rst measure that they should
pass upon il the reelection Of Mr. Tallmadge to the
senate OF the United States. This they bound to,
upon every principle Of hoasr and justice; il they
saved from total destruction in this state, they
will owe their salvation entirely TO the efforts Of
Mr.. Tamadge and his friends in the interior Of the
state The first step, therefore, should be to reeect
him. And not only account Of what he has done
Cor the whig party, should they reeect him but al
party in this city, who endeavoring to defeat Mr.
Talnadses election The chief organs Of this party
are the Rusgles and King clique here, who are hur
rying ON Governor Seward to his own destruction,
well the utter ruin Of his party; and whose sole
object is their personal agsrandizemcnt, with
out the slightest regard TO the public veal. The
members OF this abolition clique opposed to the
reelection Of Mr.. Tallmadge, and have been moving
heaven and earth, as IL were, aad making every ef-
fort both pablicy aud privately to defeat the
In relation to the currency, and the financial
tions that will be agtAted throughout the state this
winter there is another important point that will arise
in the state legislature for the action OF the wing
ty this Is the recent decision OF the Supreme Court
which declares that the law is unconstitutional nm
der which all the free banks have recently been
tablished. Now, in regard to this matter Of free
banking operations, there thing very certain
namely, that in the very incipiency Of these free
banks, various NAL practices have arisen that should
bsinmediately put a stop to. An irredeemable pa
per currency in the shape Of post notes, and other
trash has already been put in circulation by Of
fbese institutons and various other NAL practices
have been resored by the managers Of these inst
tutons, which require the speedy action Of the le
gisiature, in order to suppress the IL this 10
not done early in the session--if the whig majority
IN the legislature sanction the malpractces Of these
institutions in their incipiency, the country will be
flooded with an irredeemable paper currency, aud
the wbig leaders will utterly destroy their PARTY and
its prospects for the next gubernatorial election
In relation TO the great question Of internal in
Provements there is little doubt but that the first
step OF the wing majority in the legislature will be

influence OF the abolition Ruggles and King clique
may be seen and felt they are at the head Of this
Erie Rail Road Bubble and are personally interested
to large amount in getting the State to take hold Of
the work And yet, the true policy 10 for the Legis
