NEw YoRK ELEoTioS. -Locofocusm is triumph
ant in New York. Robert II Morris is reelected
by majority Of about six thousand. The Counci
is also strongly Locotoco. The n. Y. Commercial
says, that the number of votes is SEVEN THOUSAND
MORE THAN THAT OF THE LEGAL VOTERS ~ TuT
CRY. The American states that "organized bands
varying in numbers from twenty We 10 a hundred
armed openly with bludgeons, which brought
into immediate use whenever the show OF opposition
was made, paraded the upper wards, blocking the
polls and preventing-cs specially in the 10th Ward
hundreds of voters from depositiug their ballots
In the l2th, similar scenes were enacted and
though the police were called in TO preserve the
peace Of the city, II was manifest, after or o clock
that the polls were entirely in possession of the
lsocoiocos, and of course the result not doubt

when the canvass is completed, will establish be-

The Tribune says;
Colonization, double voting
by wholesale, and systematic violence are The.
means by which the Wing party has here been
overwhelmed SO many acts of outrage and fraud
we believe never before disgraccd a City Election
The Sixteenth Ward has been carried against us

hundred Wing voters were kept ia mortal iear
from the Polls while organized bands OF Loco. Fo-
Cos, hundreds in number, have ranged from Ward
TO Ward casting three, five and seven votes each
Tor Morris and the Loco Foco Ward Tickets We
are confident the official canvass will clearly show
That not less than f'no thousand fraudulent votes have

The naked, simple truth is that in this great CITY.

That iormallty. They have only 10 kaoto certain
places IN the several Wards 10 claim as their resi-
dences, answer all questions promptly and with per-
Rect selt-possesson, and their votes will go IN nm

gainst such frauds, they opposed n stubborn and
lnreasoning hostility. They have broken down

io not even propose desire any thing in its stead
Ihey have opened wide the door to all manner OIL
Election Frauds, and vainly will they seek to es.

Morals Of the People.
Up to O'Clock yesterday, we had high hopes of
wing triumph in the afternoon every thing
vent against us. Our friends were driven away
rom many of the Polls and overawed at others by
'pehce and hosts OF fraudulent votes were cast
~ men who had already voted in other WARDS
we shall give particulars of many acts of violence
no proofs of illegal voting tomorrow. For the
resent, we can only state that one Wing (Whde. !
,eid Cas) in the Twelfth Ward, and one in the !
sixteenth, were bludgeoned, utterly without provo.
