their Influence and ali their power. The army of
custom house officers alone were taxed $4,000
Twenty-,,co hundred Foreigners were made
citizens TO order, to secure Loco-toco misrue-and
whole gangs Illegal voters passed from poll to
poll, recording against MS the votes purchased by
a corrupt and unprincplcd government. From so
unequal contest, we had every thing TO apprc-
hend and our opponents every thing TO hope
They bel freely on FIVE THOUSAND majority! and
behold, ii is less than il was last fall! They con-
idently predicted majority which would warrant
them in claiming the State next autumn; and alas
for loco.iocoism! they bavcbecn most woofully
disappointed. Again we say let the Wings rejoice
in this suspicious result, as il clearly and empha-
tically proclains, that the State of New Yorl; will
give HARRISON and TYLER clear majority of
more than Fifteen Thousand in November next.
Tho actual majority for Varian, as We
find it officially stated in the Argus, is
1862. The Loco Foco mojority in the
city, in November was 1859 votes-which
shows LOSS to the administration of
moro than TWO HUNDRED VOTES
within tho past six months. Our majority
in that state at the last election, was
about 10000; but proportionate falling
of in the locofoco districts, will give us
$4,000 in tho fall, which is more than
probable.
Ofthe sovceteen wards, the Locofocos
have carried twelve, and the wings five
just as they stood las, year. We copy
tho following from the Evening Journal ::
- NETWORK CHARTER ELECTION.
The contest is over. The result is what I'VE
yesterday anticipated. Mr.. VARrAN is rc.eIec,ej
BY a majority 1875. For this our friends were
prepared. Had the majority leen even 500 more
It would have neither surprised nor discouraged
as a WING TRIUMPH. The last hone Of
VAN buren, hung upon the City of New-York.
The Administrator therefore brought all its en-.
erges to lear on that CITY. The Custom
House was directed TO exert its utmost powers Of
corruption. United States Ships of War were or
deredio New York for the purpose of cmpiyins
Their discharged crews into the City on the day
T. WV i.N'tloH' TIC AlI1S-I1OuSc and
Prisons were required to di>gorge their inmate.
for the purpose of swelling the Van Buren, Vote.
BY these and other means, the Van Buren, men con
tdently expected to secure majority offrom three
TO five thousand. But in this they are di,annoin-
ted. The City Of New York does not exhibit the
promised increase Of strength for Van Buren,
The "forlorn hope" Of the Administration has
failed them lhcy cannot boast Of gain, in the
Empire City. There is no reaction" in favor of
Van Buren,. II does not even furnish them with
preext for claiming the State next fall. On the
contrary, the Loco Focos iceland knoD that all is
lost. They see, in the noble rally made by the
Wings this Spring, tina. the City will 90 for Han
RIsoN in the fall. Their opposition to the Regis
try Law has spent its force. The Di,trc, System
Of voting is now admitted to 10 right and equitable.
Those who were alarmed by the false cry Of the
Custom-House will not be again deluded. The
Wings come out ofthe New York conflict with
bnoyant spirits. They all regard it as a triumph.
Afer hearing the result on Tuesday Evening at
their Head Quarters, more than ten ,bouoand
Freemen opened the Campaign IN the highest
confidence and with the greatest enthusiasm. The
Van Bnren men bet freely on from three to five
thousand MAJ GRITTY for Varian. The Gus om- House
.Oihccrs promised as much 10 Mr. Van Buren,.
Their disappointment and modification was great,
lammany-Hall, instead Of rejoicing long and
loud, closed carly; and all day yesterday the Wings
appeared far more like winning than a loosing
party. In a word, all is well in The Empire Civ
otlhe Empire State. NEW-YORK WILL CAST
HEX FORIY-TWO ELECTORAL VOTES FOR
HARRISON AND TYLER,
