THE NEW YORK TOWN ELECTIONS.

We copy what follows, of the gratifying result Of
the town elections, from the albany Argus:
The Town Elections, in this State are held with
few exceptions, in the months Of March and April
The present spring contests have been unusually
animated; and we are enabled 10 assume our dem

The returns are all in. They show aDEMocRATlC
MAJORITY in the State o.! TWENTY EIGHT
TOWNS, and II Democratic nett gain since last
fall of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT TOWNS.
And a handsoue increase of majoilics in the coun-
ties.
They show also with what rrepressble encrg les
the Democracy renew contest for principle
Although defeated in the aggregate Of the State at
the fail election ,and defeated lhroug hout the Union
with the power and means of office every where

nents, and applied without scrup,e--,ley have re-
rewed the battle with equal vigor and success
While the possession Of power by the federal wings
has served only 10 produce division among them,
and to exhibit the true character 10 the people, tho
Democracy are united, true 10 their principles, and
vigant in their maintenance. Let them be assur-

pENsIONED PR EssES.

irJsAmos Kendall never appointed, never would
appoint an editor in this State, Postmaster, on the
ground that he would have no PENSlONED
PRESSES in his employ. Granger has already
appointed THREE, and how many more will be
added is more than we can tell. But the custom
of buying up the press is no, only adopted in this
State but throughout the Union. We look upon
this as being one Of the most dangerous measures
possible for amy Administration to adopt In the
name Of the Constitution, what are the people IS

MORE WORTHLESS CURRENCY!
MORE SUSNPLASTERS.

Our readers may gather from the following,
the currency has been, or is likely to be, beitered
by the Oligarchy.
Many good-natured folks suppose that one half
of this cutlery about shinpasters is unforndeu.-
They think that the age Of shInplasters, like the
uge of chivalry, is gone. That there is no such
thing now, and that we are endeavoring to frighlen
the public with the phantom of delunct evil. No
such thing. Independent of the flood that will in
undate us though the operation of the Revenue
Law, and destroy every ves,ige of wealth before
them, we have shnplasers of the very worst and
most mischeyOus kind alloat among IS nor. 1t is
true the rich are not bothered with them, but the
poor are. This makes the matter much worse -
The poor form the vast ma oily of the people, and
when they are thus allliced--when the little pit
lance their daily toll secures them, is reduced to
almost nothing in value by the fraud Of the bank
robbers or specuators-it is indeed time the public
attention should be awakened. We were showed
yesterday vile, abominabe, filthy rag substitute
for money, of which large quantities have been

A CAPITAL STORY,
BY BOSWELL AND JOHNSON.

We have not met with story for some time a.
well told as one in the new volume of Angelo

seems gets it from the Landlord Of the inn where
the photographer put it, Boswell had ordered a
leg ofmuton and pudding and our author pro-

" Johnson gets off the poney, and the poor ami

stable. Boswell ushered the doctor into the house
and left him to prepare for his delicious treat, John
son, feeling his coat rather damp, from the mist of
the mountains, went into the kitchen, and threw
his upper garment on chair before the fire; he sal

tending the meat and Johnson did not like the APP

thing fall on the meat, upon which he determined
to eat no mutton on that day The dinner was an

Bozzy.

Boswell commenced the attack, and made the
first cut at the mutton. How the gravy runs ;wha,

you would have relishcd this fine prime piece of
mutton
The meat removed, in came the long wished for
pudding. The doctor looked joyous, fell eagerly

table was cleared and Boswell said
Doctor, while was eating the mutton YOU

THE BRIDAL EVE,
She be a bride Tomorrow

She VI be bride tomorrow
The village is astir;
Old danes, and men and maidens,
They talk of nought but her
They look upon the sunset,
And speak the morrow fine,
For the bride she hath good luck, they say,
On whom the sun doth shine
And the laughing, merry singers
Are drinking to the peal,
With which upon the morrow,
The old clurch-tower shall reel
In honor Of the bridal
She'll be bride tomorrow !
The evening sunset sheds
A glory on the shaver grass
And on the flower beds,
And on the dark green ceders,
That come athwart the light,
And on the temple in the wood
With marble pillars white,
And fountain, grove, and wilderness,
A joyful aspect wear;
The dullest passers-by can feel,
Soule present joy is there;-
Some Joy like this great bridal
She'll be bride tomorrow
The guests are thronged in,
And the grave, punclions father,
Is busted 'mong the kin;
With brave old English welcome,
lie makelh them right glad
Asif, than of those kinslok,
No other thought he had;
But he thinketh on the dowry,
All counted out in gold
And he thinketh on the bridegroom's lands,
Those manors rich and old,
Which dignity the bridal
Shell be bride Tomorrow
Like Chrismas-fowers in bloom,
The stiff procuded maiden aunts,
Sit in some inner room;
And the portly mother sweet accord
OF grace to all doth show,
And like one greatly satisfied,
She moveth to and fro;
With roses, bridal favors,
She knoweth where they be,
And cake-piled silver baskets,
All under lock and key,
10 come forth at the bridal
She II be bride tomorrow
There's gladness in her heart,
And when her young bride-maidens
She stitch all apart;
No thought of after sorrow,
Hath shaded DER her brow,
She liveth in her joyiulness,
That is but tokenet now,-
The yet more joyful morrow.
With bashtuI, blissful signs,
And he, the hadsome bridegroom,
Looking love into her eyes
Oh, happy be that bridal
