New York CHARTER ELEoTIoN.-We
have not received official information Of the
result, but enough is known to satisfy
us that the reduction ofthe Van Buren, ma
ority since the last election, is about Mree
hundred. This shows clearly that the cur
rent, even in that strong hold Of official pat
ronage, is running strongly in favor of Har-
rison. At the previous charter election
which was before the nomination of Har-
rison, the Locos carried the city by ma
jority of more than eighteen hundred. The
city government was then in the hands of
the wings, SO that the locos could not avail
themselves of the great influence and pat
ronage which were used at the late eec-
ton, and which, with the thousands of vo-
ters led to the polls by federal office holders
enabled them to carry the City by fifteen
hundred majority. 1t is SAID that two ships
of war were in the harbor,a and that their en-
tire crews were marched up to the polls by
officers of the federal government to vote
the Van ticket.
Next fall when none but legal voters will
be allowed to vote there is every reason to
believe the city will be redeemed. At all
events, the result of the city election makes
it certain that the vote of the great state of
New York, will go for Harrison at the No
vember election,

MR. VAN BUREN AND THE LATE WAR;
As the Globe is collecting evidence in ref
erence to the Presidents's sentiments on the
subject of the late war, would it not be as
well to state the notorious fact that about
the time WILLIAM HBNRY HARRISON was
at the head of the Northwestern army fight
ing British and Indians, (l8l2,) Mr.. Van
Baren, on an Anti-War meeting, in the
town of Hudson, Columbia county, New
York, moved the following resolutions:
Resoloed. That the war is Impoliic
and disastrous and to employ the militia in
an offensive war is unconstitutional.'
1t seems to us that these three pithy lines
are rather stumbling block in the way of
the Globes assertion that Mr., Van Buren,
was an ardent advocate of the late war!--

DEATH OF CAPT RlLEY.--We regret to
learn that Captain James Riley died on the
18th of March, on board of his brig, the
William Tell, bound to Mogadore, in the
SD year of his age.
Captain Riley was extensively known in
this country and Europe, as the author of a
personal narrative of great interest, con-
nected with his shipwreck and captivity
among the wild Arabs on the southern coast
of Africa, and his extraordinary perils, suf-
ferings and adventures. On the first ap.
pearance of the book it was supposed by
many to have been romance, until the
the work of Judah Paddock was published,
who was wrecked nearly in the same place,
and suffered severely among the savages Of
that coast, and it corroborated many of
Capt. Riley's details. We remember, in
particular, how little credence was given to
his declaration that his excessive su6erings
had reduced him SO that he weighed but so
pounds.--M Y. Star.
