state or the Republic-The Res ults of Uni
versal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot.
The recent political results in the State of New
York, accompanied with the like events through.
out the Union, present condition of things in this
republic, that will arrest the attention of all Euro
pean spectators republican Institutions be they
literary, commercial, financial, or philosophical.
In the State OF New York especially, a State
which gives the tone to the Union, an election by
ballot, in one day, where over 300 600 votes were
taken, has passed of, with only one event, that
looked like a riot, throughout the whole common
wealth. In this city and its neighborhood, with
population of nearly halt a Million and vote of
nearly $4,000 the election passed off quietly as
Sabbath day in England This extreme public or
der, has resulted from the system of universal suf
trage-voe by ballot-and division of every city,
town and county into multitude of small districts
of thousand votes each all TO be completed in one
uav.
Can the world exhibit such counterpart of quiet,
order, and perfect propriety! Can England, with
all her religion, and intelligence!
In another aspect the recent elections are equally
important-as example and an indication to the
put to the people were high protective tarif1:-or
revenue tariti-msre public DEBT and a policy lead
TO ultimate State bankruptcy and repudia,ion or
economy, taxes 10 pay the public debt and no more
borrowing. These questions were openly advocated
by eac party-snd the result has been, by larger
popular majority than ever took place in New York,
In favor OF moderate tar fl for revenue-n favor of
some kind of sound, spece-based, national curren-
httppf AID IL Cd
in favor of direct tax to sustain the credit of the
State-in favor of economy in public expenditures,
and against the further contra ction of debt-and in
favor of the administration of John Tyler, as now
organized and conducted, in foreign and domestic
concerns.
These have been the emphatic results obtained in
the recent elections, although in regard TO the
oh inces of future candidates for the presidency,
every thing has been thrown into utter confusion
The people of New York and the United States have
decided on public measures-and on high moral
prnciples-the selection of men will be reserved for
another year-and whether Clay, or Tyler, or Van
Buren,, or Cass, or Scott or Dick johnson, or Cal
houn will have the best chance is placed IN greater
doubt and uncertainty than ever
No mater-one important result is obtalned-the
distinct judgment of the people on important public
measures and if at the next session OF Congress,
the members do not retrace their steps, and egisate
more for the public interest, than ointrigue for Pre-
sldental candidates, the whole country will be
reused into action.
Let the people and governments of Europe pom
der on these results which exhibit higher degree
of sound morality, practical common sense and pub
lie ORDER under system of universal suffrage than
the world has They may speculate on
the dark spot OF Abolition that has made its appear
ancc bya distinct organization in several of the
States-but though the Abolition party may defeat
the Wings hereafter they cannot have any other eff
feet on the great movements of society.
We believe that the country is coming right-in
Its finances, trade, morals, and integrity. The tri-
umph of sound principles in New York, will have a
proper influence over those other States that have
repudiated or neglected to pay the interest of their
public debts. Politicians will be encouraged to as
sumo the same ground that the democrats have bold
ly done in New York-and the same results will fol-
low among people whose morals are healthy,
common sense practical, and resources abundant,
in spite OF all past misforunes We even believe
that international copyright law will be passed
by Congress in due time, in spite of the abuse of
foreign literateurs, and narrow-minded travellers.
On the whole, looking over the Union, we believe
recent events ana results have established the fact
that this republic self governed by system of uni
versal suffrage and vote by ballot has within its
IONS the principles CT morals and religion Sufficient
10 put to shame every country in Europe-and has
better and happier prospect to look upon than the
whole world on the other side of the water
VINO WROTE THAT REVIEW This question is
still discussed in the newspapers, but conjecture is
certainly at fault The most probable guess that we
have heard is the name OF Gliddon. a Young Eng.
lishman, who reviewed Cooey's Work on Egvpt-
There is the same style--the same temper-the same
prejudces-and the same general ignorance in both
Reviews.
But whoever is the author, there is no doubt of
Dickens ndorsement-and when you cannot reco-
yer tom the drawer, law and equity enttle you to
bring IN your bill against the indorser. Hereafter,
for all intents and purposes, we shall consider
Charles Dickens Esq" minus I" his lady," as the
responsible person, who answer for all the er-
rors, plumbers, fasehoods, pretensions and malevo
lence of that Review.
We have a Reply to the Review in the shane
