THE QUESTION SETTLED!

We have the satisfaction of announcing
that the question as to The political character
Of the state, which was regarded as some what
doubtful on Saturday, is settled. "rhe sober
second thought" Of the people of New York
has been confirmed by the third. We have
a variety Of details from the interior this
morning. but it is enough for the present to
state results. In the Senate, it is considered
certain the Wings will have majority of
six--possbly of cight--,hough the probability
is, that the abolition faction has defeated the
veteran General Root. in the third District
This circumstance Is the only draw. back upon
the full Joy of our triumph. According 10
The returns received, the Wings will have
evenly members Of The Assembly, and the
Destructives fify.elght. Wing majority
twelve.
This is indeed a GLORIOUS TRIU MPU,
and we cannot conceal our exultation. We
congratulate our friends throughout the state
throughout the United States. Mr.. Van
Buren's own state has now for the third time
condemned him and his destructive measures,
aud that, too, in the most signal manner
Every branch of the state government is now
against him, Governor, Senate and Assembly
This result is the more gratifying, inasmuci h
~ il has been accomplished in the face of his
rlectioneering residence here during the
whole Of the summer and his tour from this
cty to the lakes visiting almost every coun.
", and excrting almost every effort to sub
sidze the ireenen Of the state 10 the support
of his deicstable sub-Treasury project.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT AND Miraculous
EscAPE.-One Of the most singular acci-
dents, (accommpanied by q most miraculous
escapr,) that we have ever had occasion TO
record. occurred yesterday in Portland Place.
Mr.. Holland. a resident there, on returning
bonpc-irom HE mornings work to dinner. took
into his arms his little chld-a girl about two
years old-and was walking with it playfully
about the house, when, finding the scnlte in
the attic open, he asccndcd the stairs to look
out. Whilst he was standing on the steps a
favorite kitten of the child's ran by them, and
passed on the roof.
The child exhibiting O wish to catch the
kitten, the father, 'houghtlessly, placed the
child on the ridgc-polc Of the house, a brick
honsc three stories bgb.) whilst he went on
The roof To catch young pussy. He had moi
le'i the child but moment, when il lost its
balance, rolled over. and sliding from the
roo' was prcclpliatrd upon the pavement be.
