Ar sundown last night, after one Of the greatest
contests that took place in New York, the loco
focos carried their senatorial ticket and, most pro-
baby their whole ticket, from top to bottom, by
average majority Of 500 votes. The actual results
will be found annexed Accounts from Long Island,
also, state that ohm A. King is also defeated there
The causes which have produced this defeat are
many and obvious. The conduct of the leaders of
the whig party during the last year, the complete
management of all their measures which has been as
suned by clique Of STOCKHOLDERS and spectators
in Wall street, its connection with abolition, were
enough, in time, to ruin any party But, if this
not sufficient to disgust the people, the Wall
street clique nominated Philip Hone one Of the most
unpopular candidates that could have been selected
in New York-even Jack O'Haggerty would have
made better poll The consequences Of the arro-
CANT, unwise, foolish stock. jobbng management is

Private Correspondence

ALBANY, Tuesday, Nov. 8.
SIR:-According to promise, send you further
report of the argument before the Supreme Court in
the of the People Ezra White, convicted Of
the murder ofPeter Fitzpatrick.
The court constituted as before. At ten, pre-
cisely, White brought in and placed " thin the
bar. He. looked more care worn than on Saturday;
there was haggard expression in his countenance;
his eye was somewhat bewildered and restless;
but during the whole Of the argume mt, scarce mus
Gle OF his face was moved. He preserved, through
OUT the same attentive, pensive look, and did not
seem to feel the force, understand the arguments
made use of by his counsel. The judges and their
officers the prisoner and the counsel, together with
the jailor and his assistant, two brieAess lawyers,
two constables-one Of them sound asleep-these,
with the Supreme Court clerk and myself, composed
the whole audience.
The case having been called on, Mr. Graham rose
and resumed the argument in behalf Of the prisoner
and dwet at great length on the difference between
the words "Premeditated" design, and the words
" malice aforethought," and made il out to his own
satisfaction, that the indictment all wrong, and
that the judge made great blunder in charging the
jury as he did. and wound up his arguments in a
strain OF the most SOFT mpassoDed eloquence full Of
feeling. and fervor. and learning and very thing that
could constitute one of the greatest Supreme Court
speeches that have been delivered in two years at
least He rveted, nay, chained the attention Of the
court during the two hours which he spoke this
morning.
After Mr. Graham had concluded, Mr.. Whiting,
the district attorney, commenced his argument be-
every single point that had been touched upon by mis-
opponent He displayed great knowledge of plead
ings, FORMS and rales Of evidence and occasionally
barst out in strain Of fine eloquence, particularly
when ne alluded to the murder Of Waterman, in the
city OF New York, when in the discharge Of his duty
and how the murderer was now at large He said

THIRD AND LAST DAY.
At the close Of the polls on Tuesday night the
wings were very much disAeartened; the heavy rain
that fell during the afternoon Of Tuesday, damped
their spirits, besides damping their brooches, and
kept many Of their voters from the polls For
tunateiy fer their cause, perhaps, the weather
cleared up, and yesterday presented as beautiful
morning as ever came ont Of the heavens. Both
parties then turned out with all their strength and
vehenence. Money was expended, bills were print
ed, liquors were drank, were uttered, shout
ings were heard, carriages ratified men and boys
batted, and the voting, and polling, and lying and riot
ing were about As brisk well could be through
cut the city, the whole Of the day.
Whichever party loses, it will not be the fault Of
those who belong to it for never did men work
harder, or try more to carry election than both
sides did yesterday. Every imaginable means was
put in reqaistion that could be thought Of. Almost
every Custom House officer tide waiter, government
runner, and office holder in the city was on duty, and
doing his utmost to carry the election favor Of the
locofoco party. Fellows from Philadelphia Albany,
| New Jersey, Connecticut, and even from Boston,
came on to assist both wings and ocofecos Never
did men work harder, fight fercer than the parti-
zan leaders both sides did yesterdays and the re-
suit we give elsewhere.
| FIRST WARD.-Here there was an immense deal
of rowing and squabbling Two pretty keen kind
of characters, each side, did the talk and the
excitement. Oliver Charles, the dock master, is a
red hot locofsco and James Kellogg, the ward clerk
is red hot whg; and between the two they kept up
| pretty severe cross firing.
