EXTRACT OF LETTER FROM THE EDITOR, DATED

Neao- York, Nobember 9, 1882.
The election in the interior of the State has re-
suited favorably for the Wings and Conservatives
Il seems pretty certain that they will have ma ory
in both branches Of the Legislature, which is very
important rebuke to Mr.. Van Buren, and his loco
foco adherents. The city, as was expected, has
swallowed the entire mass of loco-focoism, and
elected ticket, some members Of which are dis
grace to humanity. Il is burlesque upon the repre-
sentative system to send the Legislature the ves
Of the human species One is an open reviler Of
Christianity another sells rum 10 sailors for three
cents glass, and most Of the others are about on
par with these.
The abolition vote did not exceed 200 probably
which again shows them to be too inconsderable a
political party to be worth notice.
But the country sends up the voices Of the honest
farmers and they worth legion of corrupt cities
They answer with emphasis the appeals personally
made by demagogue President, and give him
most encouraging return for his expenditures of mo-
ney, hypocrisy, fattery, speech-makng and visiting.
Mr.. Pan Buren's native Stale has abandoned him for
erer. He had better have taken Conservative advice
when the State went against him in '37-he may
thank his "only two" friends, Messrs. Wright and
Butler for the remore lchieh comes too late.
The position Of Nathaniel p. Tallmadge cha-
lenges the admiration ofth country For daring to
rebuke his party for their utopian measures in the
Senate of the United States he incurred the anathe-
Of the whole tribe of oco-focos, from the Pres
dent down and they have. with one accord, pur-
sued him with relentless hate. The Senate Of this
State violated their oaths in order TO carry out the
determination Of their party TO defeat his election to
the Senate last winter. The loco-foco press have
covered him with obloquy and abuse, and assailed
him with every species Of falsehood. Mr. Tallmadge
has pursued the tenor of his way, and honestly
and fearessly discharged his duty. The people have
come to the rescue of the noble Senator. He stands
higher than in their affections, and they will
send him back ohe Senate to reiterate the language
of truth and patriotism, and to shame Van Burenism,
if possible, into an acquescence with the wishes of
the people. Afler the confident calculations of the
locofocos that they had killed off Mr. Tallmadge,
how Notifying will be their sensations when they
see him again in his place. confronting them in the
Senate. They will stare not less than Macbeth at
the uprisen ghost Of Banquo.
Alas poor Mr.. Van Buren-President of the
Union, repudiated by his own State! Virginia
backed Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Mon
roe-Massachusetts stood by the Adams's-T ennes-
see adhered to Old Hickory, and Kentucky and
Massachusetts, during the whole OF this controversy
have been ready TO cast their influence for Clay or
Webster, as the Opposition should elect. But Van
Buren,, the favorte son" Of New York, is deserted
and despised, politically, by the people who reared
him, and who know him best They abandoned
him the moment he showed himself in his first mes
sage, and no subsequent effort OF his has been able
to reclaim their lost respect. He is therefore cast
political orphan, upon the charities of stranger
States
But, is il possible that Benton and his clique, who
are in reality the administration, will suffer man
to enjoy their highest Office and emolument who
cannot bring into the concern any political capital
Missouri stands manfully up for Benton. Georgia
offers to back Forsyth-South Carolina bears up
Calhoun, and il New York dsdans Van Buren,,
what claims has he against the advancement of other
candidates in the parry who can bring electoral
votes from home? Really, the political capitalists
Of the party" ought TO think OF this
The Supreme Court has recently decided that the
General Banking law is unconstitutional il having
been passed by bare majority Of the Legislature
The Constitution requires majority of two-ihirds
TO establish corporation. The general impression
seems to be that the coming legislature will pass
confrmatory act.
