elections in this State, when we take into
consideration all the corrupt aud base
powers which have been arrayed against
the democracy, have more than fulfilled
our most sanguino expectations. The
federal wings, 10 the last Legislature, had
a majority in both branches, and on joint
ballot their majority was seventeen. In
the recent elections, we have gained the
Senate, reduced their majority in the house
to only TWO, Gf that,) and on joint bal
LOT it will be doubtful whether they will
have a majority. So much for "hard

SILENT CHANGES.

AT every election our friends have been aston.
shed at the number Of silent changes, at the men
who had always supported Van Buren,, and who
had never expressed any change of opinion, but
who silently went to the polls and voted for the
Harrison ticket. These men are not noisy poll
ticians; they examine for themselves closely
into the merits of the different parties, and
they arrive at the conclusion that the country
needs change. Having come to this conclu-
sion, they have no desire to hold interminable
arguments with their former political associates,
or to subject themselves to the persecution of a
swarm of otlice-holders so they say nothing
about it, but they are careful to vote. These
silent changes are constantly increasing, and
thcy%ill continue to increase as the policy of
the administration becomes more developed, and
the effect of that policy more apparent. These
are changes against which the leaders Of the par
ty can make no provision, for they do not detect
them, until it is too late.

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.


BY the Dc Witt Clinton we received slip from the
New York Herald, announcing the arrival of the
great Western. She arrived at the lower bay at noon
yesterday and reached her berth shortly after three
o'clock, making the run in Is days. She brings
nearly sixty passengers among whom is Mr. Joudon
the agent of the U. s. Bank. She has very large
cargo of silks and woollcns.
The LIST division of the British feet, consisting of 10
vessels OF war, has left Singapore for Canton to COM
mcncc attacks.
Cotton was down to 6 of a penny.
Great preparations are making i'll the naval de-
partment in England for the expected war.
There has been an Instruction in Paris, but il was
soon put down.
The news is very important. The funds at London
are falling with alarming CELEBRITY The British Three
per cents low 81 SO and those of France are
down to 76, with every probability of farther retreat
before the end of the current week.
Com Napier in command of a portion of the Trl-
fish fleet had arrived at Boyrout in Syria, from which
place he issued proclamaory letter TO the Consus
and British merchants at Beyrout, that thcaed pow
crs having decided that Syria is to be restored TO the
under his protection and that the be restored
the inhabitants of Lebanon. He trusted that the
Governor would not provoke hosttes; if he did, the
responsibility of usclcssly shedding blood must be
on his own head.
His demands being resisted, he has since seized and
made reprisas several trading vessels belonging
to the Pacha, also cutter, steam frgate and Il
brig loaded with ammunition and muskets. This de-
clsive act has greatly ncensed the Pacha and great
element prevails the course which France will
pursue in the matter.
