NEW YORK ELECTIoN-We copy the re-

remarks of the Evening Star upon the New YORK
election that our readers may see what Mr. Noah
saws Of the result For ourselves, are accustom-
cd IN take comfort from occasional reverses. The
Iyhirs are like other men, with difference; as a
marty. we have too many leaders, and too many who
would be leaders they could. There are too many
who require little outward pressure, and hence
what we have most to fear is that will become
soured or lul1ewarm, when they come TO measure
their own pretensons under the certainty OF success
We believe that the old Hero will come in on swell
ing tide but it is necessary that every man should
do his duty Such defeat as that we encountered Ill
New York will tend to keep us united, by remnahlg
us of the necessity of sacrificing personal ends Tor the
public good Indeed, what we have most to Tear Is,
that Virginia will go against the administration by so
large vote as to lull the Wing party into false so
curitv The price of liberty is eternal viglence, and
we would say to our friend Noah, the City is not the
State We can elect Harrison without the City, and
we believe that Van Buren, may take the State, and
vet he will be beaten As is, the result IN the Clty
shows no change to alarm us for the State. Our ma
iority in the State will no doubt be increased.
A SIGN.-We have the pleasure of giving a more
extended circulation the excellent remarks of the
Baltimore Americana an old established commercial
paper which, under the pressure of the times has put
aside its neutrality and fairly into the field to do
battle for the public good. The American will be
a valuable auxiliary, and greatly aid the cause in
which it is embarked. The intelligence OF the Edi-
tor the respect in which the proPrietors are held in
this community and throughout the country, and the
industry energy and Skill which they have therefore,
given to the management of the American neutral
will render it an important adjunct in its new char
acter.
AN EXHIBITION, BY PHILADELPHIA AR
lists AND AMATEURS.-The first public ex-
hibtion by the Association for the encouragement OF
genius among the Artists, opened yesterday, 0he
16th in the formerly occupied by the Ph!ladel-
phia Museum, over the Arcade. We learn from the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that this association already
numbers two hundred members, among them artists,
amateurs and citizens, who either have taste for
the fine arts or who desire to afford encouragement to
the many artists of promise distinction in Philade
phia, and its vicinity We wish this Society COM
pee success and hope that the day is not far Distant
when that large portion of citizens, who pos
sess the fortune TASTE and leisure to accomplish such
an enterprise will extend the hand of patronage to
our own artists, md crafty with similar exhibit
ton. While upon this subjective would invite at
tention to the advertisement in another column, of
tho Exhibition at the DIORA1A in North street, of two
grand picturesque ofthe Destruction Jerusalem,
and the other of the Coronation of Queen Victoria;
and we confidently all those who have not yet
seen these magnificent paintings, that the time and
money spent in visit to the Diorama will be amply
repaid.
