feat OF the Whigs-Uproarous Triumph
OF the Locofocos.
One of the most sublime moral spectacles term
mated yesterday at down, that took place
in New York. 1t was the day of general election
throughout the State and in this city, and it closed in
peace, good order, quiet, and perfect decency, a
most Overwhelming and triumphant majority for the
democratic PATTY.
Mr.. Bouck, the democratic candidate for Cover
nor, has received about 1000 majority in the city and
county OF New York, $50 majority IN Kings county,
and $50 in Richmond, being the extent OF our in.
formation as late as nine o'clock. The whole de-
mocratic county ticket, with the exception of one
is certainly elected. Mr.. Phgnix, the wing con-
gressonal candidate, is elected in the Wall street
region-al the democrats in the other districts pro
badly certain, except John McKeon, who runs
close.
According to all appearances, and all symptoms,
the democrats have carried the State by very
large majority probaby varying from 5000 to
5000.
This is a victory to the democrats not exactly I'M
expected. Ever since the ultra wings in Congress,
at the Extra Session, came out with their famous
manifesto, we have looked for such a result The
violence with which John Tyler, the amiable and
a ferocity and folly utterly withou, excuse or de-
cency, caused us to look for nothing else In adj
dition to this cause, the abolition party have not
been idle. Their secret organization has been
operating in this city and throughout the State-not
much to make people vote their particular ticket,
as to cause lukewarmness, and keep many from the
ballot boxes. If the abolitoniss have only polled
5000 direct votes in the State they have indirectly
inHu ohahIv A
altogether.
Such is the victory which the folly indecency
and bad management of the wings for the las; year,
have thrown into the hands of the locofocos
Tammany Hall last night presented lively and
original scene. AS the returns came in, the Jokes
and the flashes of merriment were as frequent and
as bright the boreaiis, now shooting up to
heaven-anon sparkling along the shore 'Have
you seen any thing of that same old coon?'
" Oh, yes-he is dead and buried" "Did h.
leave his skin behind ~ "D-n the bit; Their,
is not so much the tuit OF his tail remaining to

At the whig head quarters every thing was calm
gentee full of resignation, philosophy, virtue and
long faces We never saw quiet and orderly an
election, among both parties. Nothing like the
Tomorrow we shall enter into the merits of this
result, and give some good advice to cheer up the
wings, and some caution to save the democrats from
folly.
The following were the reported returns received
last evening, which will vary some as the official
reports are made.
The democratic majortes for Legislature and
Congress will be less than that for Governor.
John A. Lott is elected TO the State Senate by a
majority of over 1000.
]. Sherman Brownel is reelected Register by
about 1900 majority.
The supposition is that Mike Walsh received
votes enough to defeat the election OF Vandyke.
The rest of the democratic ticket is elected by
from 1000 to 1900 majority.
At the latest hour last evening, the returns re-
ceived indicated the defeat of John McKeon, and
the election of Mr.. Fish in the sixth district.
Leonard of the fifth district, and Maclay, of the
fourth, (democrats) are elected, and Phoenix,
(whig) of the third
