The Alexandra Gazette Of Thursday last
says, "A great deal depends upon the result Of
the election in New York, which takes place
early next month, (November,) IL the Ad-
ministration succeed II win close series of
disastrous defeats which the opposition have
experienced this fall, and contribute materially
to dampen their hopes. and even to prevent
their future action on important subjects. If
the opposition succeed, il will raise their pros
poets, excite them to renewed exertions--and
strengthen their determination to make head
against the present dynasty. New York is
Of itself political capital enough to make
start on. The importance Of tho election,
then, although only for the Legislature, can
readily be seen.
Defeated or conquerors, however, we trust,
that the opposition will never abandon such
principles as are vital to the cause of good
government Men are nothing when placed
in comparison with measures. Wemust con-
tinue to strive, through evil and through good
report-through prosperity and adversity--in
the midst Of defeat, even--for the Constitu-

ment, for republican practices-for all those
measures which may tend to make the coun-

since that. short time previous while in pursuit of
wild turkeys, in Hart county, Kentucky, in company
with friend, they discovered on the summit Of knoll

We are repeatedly written to, from dis
lance, to know who will be likely to be elect
ed Clerk Of the House of Representatives.
This is a question we cannot answer; it will,
Of course, be left for future consideration. All
that we know in relation to the matter is, that
the Loco Focos consider their present Clerk
as TOO much Of gentleman in the first place,
and not sufficiently proscriptipe in his princi-
pies, in the second, and hence have deter
mined TO have another better suited, for their
particular views. Some of them, from Penn
sylvania, have declared, if they cannot sue
coed in electing their candidate, that they will
throw their weight in the scale Of Mr.. Shock,
the former Clerk Of the House Of Representa-
lives in Pennsylvania, in preference to the
present incumbent. Should this be done, it
would settle the question at once. If the op.
position be true to itself, there can remain no
doubt but that the Speaker, Clerk and Printer
will be elected from the Conservative or Wing
ranks.

Hon. N P. TALLMADdE. -

Gen Hubbell was the late Adjutant General of
tuis Sate--appointed by Gov. Marcy He is gen.
tlenan OF the highest character and standing. From
his testimony it will be seen, that Mr. Tallmadge's
charge has been most triumphantly sustained in
every essential particular He sh0irs that Gov Marcy

TALLMsDaE's COURSE ON HIS RETURN FROM THE EXTRA
SESSION :... a...
After all this can any one doubt the other part of
Mr.. Tallmadge's statement, that Gov. Marcy ad
vised him oppose 1t previous to the extra session.
when, fromthe manner twas put forth in the Globe,
and in certain articles acknowledged TO have been
written by Mr.. Wright, it was believed Mr.. Van
Buren, intended to recommend H. Il does not admit
Of the possibility OF doubt neither can any doubt
that Gov. Marcy said he would not endorse il in his
message No one supposed that he would take diff
ferenl ground in his message from that which he had
taken in his conversations with his friends. Gen
eral Hubbell says that those with whom Gov Marcy
conversed believed that If he should come out in
his message and take the ground he had taken in his
conversations, he would be sustained by the great
body of the people Of this State" In other words,
il he should oppose 1t in his message, the people
would sustain him; and yet, when he came 10 pre-
pare his message, he was compelled by party disci
pline or by executive influence 10 endorse tie scheme!
Aside from Gen. Hubbeil's testimony, which is
conclusive of ITSELF Gov. MarcyS refusal to answer
Mr.. Tallmadge's letter, in which the charge was
repeated and denial challenged, is an admission of
its truth. Yet Gov. Marcy unite> in the denunca-
lions of Mr. Tallmadgc as traitor to the party for
doing what he himself recommended him to do, and
