THE CONSEoUEN

The last Empire State" paper published
in the city Of New York, under this title gives
the following most doleful and heart rending
account Of the situation Of many females of
that city, and state, who, as every one knows
that has visited that section, perform vast
deal Of labor in constructing a variety of arti-
cles that contribute both to the luxury
and convenience Of the whole country. Shame
on the heartless Williams now in power, who
are bent on the destruction Of every thing
with which the country abounds. That not
eventhe peor helpless women and children can
escape the curse they entail upon the land.
How can any man or set Of men, not abso-
lutelyteind and dspils pursue. recklessly such
a course Arethey lost not only to principle;
but to feeling also. Have they, in their he'll
ish course of ,damning corruption forgot. that
they were born Of woman, and that she has 4
stronger claim to protection than all other
mortal beings.

NEW YORK ELEcTIoN.

tits now a settled point that the Empire
State" has gone against the administration
throughout, except New York city, which is a
"sore on the body polite" abounding with the
pus of democracy. In the city of his adop-
ton, Van Buren, has received second rebuke
in favor of the wings. Wegive the details in
the extracts below:
VIcToRY.-L0co focoism has received its
death blow. The Independent yeomanry Of
the interior have thrown of the shackles of
despotism and redeemed the Empire State
from thraldom. They have also passed
righteous sentence of condemnation on the
suicidal and violent conduct Of the recent Sem
ate. The returns are now sufnci552t to assure
majority in both houses Of the legislature,
and shew an increased majority in the State.
In the Assembly our majority will be at least
II, but most probably from is to 20, and IN
the Senate at least 6. and most probably 8.
The third Senate dirstrict has done nobly.
This is Mr.,Van Burens own district, and ell
ects three wing Senators, and his own native
county sends three wing members to the AS

After one Of the hardest battles ever fought
in the county of Columbia, the wings have tri-
umphed by large majority. The personal
influence. the power, and the money Ofthe of
fee holders, were all brought to bear against
us and besides the most gross and nnhedrdot
corruption, the wings were compelled to con-
tend against an organized band Of ruffians who
thronged the polls, and prevented in numerous
instances, the free exercise of the right OF
suffrage but redeeming spirit was abroad
and the people have expressed their s'sober Sc
cond thought in tones ofthunder; and in the
.'city ofhis adoption Martin Van Buren, has
received second rebuke, more terrible to him

We invite attention TO the following

Democracy unveiled, o. ihe beautiful ef.

On Monday S0th Sept. lasl. there was
sold for Gold or Silrcr, at Philadelphia,
IN Ncshoba county, for the benefit Of the
United States, on account of Gen. Wiley
2. Harris defalcalion. upwards Of 0OO0
acres ofland, which brought the ehormo,ss
priceof FIRE cents per acre. This land,
about two years ago, was sold (bofore Ill
WIS owned by Gen. Harris, for six dol.
lars an acre or upwards Of $4,000, and
was said to be cheap at that price; but on
the 30th Of last month, under the Demo.

for eUc cents per acre--or about $500,
and bought BY Tilgham NJ. Tucker, the

LEGISLATURE OF TENNESSEE.


twill be perceived by the following extrac,
taken from the Republican Banner, that the
Hon. E. H. FOSTER, in consequence of certain.
Resolutions adopted by that body, has resign
cd his seat in the Senate of the United States.
SENATOR FosTER.-The letter Of the
Hon. Ephraim H. Foster, resIgning his seat IN
the Senate of the United States, was received
and read. in. both houses of the General As
sembly yesterday. il was read IN the House,
by Mr. Watson, one of the Representatives
of this county, aud in the Senate by DR.. Jen-
nings, our Representative in that body. We
hesitate not in pronouncing It one of the ablest
documents OF the kind extant. In the House
an attempt was made TO keep it rom being
spread upon the Journal-but it proved abor-
tive, fifteen members only voting to keep it
from the Record.
In the Senate, however, the party screwed
themselves up to the gagging point and voted
to keepit from their Journal As soon as the
vote was taken, DIR. jennings rose and gave no
tee that he would enter his protest against the
vote of the Senate, denying the letter of resig-
nation of the Hon. Il. H. Foster, place upon
the Journal.
