"rHE LATE ELECTIONS" t
The people have spoken a condemnation of the
lacous course Of the partisan Clay men, in voice of
thunder Its Indignant peal is even now rumbling
through the valleys and mountains Of Virginia. Wher
ever there has been an election for Slate OF CITY officers,
there has been signal defeat OF the hopes of the efgy
burners, of those who subscribed to the capital "Alex
andrian echo of the manifesto Club Address
lie: Us examine into this matter llile.-HarrsOn
aud Tyler carried the State Of New York by l6,G 600
majority. The ale elections of State officers show an
entire destruction Of that triumphant majority. Scene

Let us 60 little further into particulars, items of e.
ectUns.
We succeeded in Brooklyn, New York. in electing a
Wing Mayor last ear by 700 majority, this year the
borough is lost by $50 votes. Last year the Mayor for
New Orleans succeeded by very large vote in his g.
lection, and the Harrison and Tyler majority approx
mated thousand votes; but on the other day an anti
Clay man succeeded to the MayOra!y by decisive mas

Let US for moment look at The recent elections in
Virginia. and direct our eyes, not taking into cOnsdera-
lion an An>Clay majority of about 45 votes in the Le-
gslaure, when last year there was whig majority Of
four votes joint ballot to the returns rendered in
from some Of the counties. In Albermare, Mr. Jefer
sons old county, where the Harrison aid Tyler major~
Ity consisted Of upwards of 200, the Wings have bsen
beaten. Recollect that Virginia is restricted sufage
State, and proportion 10 the number of suregentS in
comparison with the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania or
New York, one vote n the former State al least equal
to five vojes in the latter. In Fauquier county where
Harrison ahd Tyler succeeded nv about 200 majority,
the Wings heat by about the same vote. In Bedford
where the Wings usually have carried some 300 or 400
majority, they have now some 80 or so majority. In
FrsnkIin and Hampshire, where Harrison and Tyler
succeeded by large maOrities the Wings have been
overwhelmingly routed. So much for Buckingham
and so much for all the other counties in the State in
perspective, with the exception of three four
in which there has heen whig gain of not than
100 votes all told II is useless multiply instances,
to comment farther upon the result. Here it is. Lot all
the people look at it.
In conclusion we ask under these circumstances
will the friends of Mr.. Clay, man who has already
been beat three times for the Presidency whose aggre>
gate could have elected him. farther attempt to os
him upon the country7 And what is much more to the
purpose will the country submit to IT. Look to it efigy
