LATE ELECTIONS IN NEW yoRK

We have frequently told our readers. that
the recent local elections throughout New
York, were, generally speaking. far more
favorable in their political result than those
OF lost fall or any that have taken place in
that State for many years past. What wa
have said upon this subject is confirmed bv
every Wing paper in New York. Eyerys

NUMBER OF NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHED r,
THE WoRLD.-A German paper says-Iu
Spain there are twelve newspapers; in Por.
tugal seventeen; in Switzerland thirty-six
in Belgium sixty-two; in Denmark eighty
in Austria eighty-two; in Russia and Poland
eighty-four; in Holland one hundred and
fifty; in Great Britain two hundred g. eighty
eight; in thu bther German States three
hundred and eight; in Australia nine; in
Africa twelve; in Asia twenty-seven, and
in America one thousand one hundred and
thirty eight; from which it will be seen that
there are more than half as many newspa-
pers published ia America, with the excep-
ton OF France, which the writer has left out.

muzzled the press, that there might as well
be none, and cast stain on her escutcheon
which it will be difficult to wipe off,) than
there is in the whole world put together, and
with not one-fortieth of the population. 1t
is no wonder, then, that this country bears
the reputation abroad of being not only the
happiest, but the freest nation of the earth,
when the press, which we consider to be
the "sentinel on the watch tower,'' is left
free, net only to guard against all encroach-
ments on our rights, (if it acts up to its pro-
fession,) but to diffuse information far and
wide over the country; for wherever know
ledge is, there will freedom be found.

We invite atteAtion to the terms, &c
which are published on our first page
They were proposed by Mr.. Stevens, of the
Yazoo Wing, and have met the appreciation
of the newspaper press throughout the State.
We endorse them without hesitation. and for
the future will most strictly adhere to them
for no newspaper can long sustain itself du-
ring the present state of things, that does
not at once entirely abandon the common
credit system SO prevalent in this section of
country. 1t will be seen that there are no
changes in our prices, although the greatly
deprecated condition of our currency de-
mands an advance-for every article used
by us is produced at the north, where we
are obliged to submit to the most exorbltant
rates Of exchange on the money of our state.
