y
This election was last Tuesday, md was for mem
bers OF the Assembly, Senators and County Officers
The returns we have scattering, but they are
good showing gain from last year, and they are
better than onr expectations. We give below what
we have received:
The City ofAlbuny, Wing by 5oO:dt,o the County
by the same majority. Troy, Wing by 500.
The following we copy from tho Atlas of Friday:
GOOD NEWS FROM NEW YORK.
Tho accounts ofthe election in the City of New
York, received hero yesterday, are very vague and
desultory, but on the whole gratifying. Up to hale
past two O'Clock Wednesday, the Official returns
were not all Inland The reports published in the pa
pers differ from each other. One thing, however, is
certan-and that is, that Col. WILLIAM JOINS
the Wing candidate for Sheriff, is elected by ma
jority Of 1000 votes The Locos claim the election
oftheir County Clerk and Coroner and oil the thir-
teen Assembly men, but two. The Wing papers
claim the election Of five Assembly men. There ap-
pears TO have been an increase OF the Wing vote, in
nearly every quarter.
Considering that the Loco Foco party, last spring,
had 5000 majority in the City, the Wings may well
congratulate themselves thisresult. Tho Tribune
says that, but for the nauaton of some two or three
can Republican Ticket, the Wing triumph would
have been an overwhelming The party which
put mp that ticket, supposed to have carried from
to 5000 votes.
1t was doubtful whether Morris franklin the Wing
Senator from the District composed of New York
City, King and Richmond, was elected.
In the River Counties, which arc strongly Loco
Foco, The Wing vote is increased, the Loco Foco
diminished. There appears to be a regular Wing
gain, on the popular vote.
The Tribune makes the following remarks on the
election
The day was inclement with severe snow storm
in the afternoon. This is always against the Wings,
The vote is rather light; the fraudulent voting of
last spring was not repeated: the Election was very
quiet one, but the storm kept away old, infirm, and
opathetc voters from the Polls.
AS to the Assembly, some Of the Wing candidates
are certainly elected-how many which ones no
one can tell yet We tried hard to get from
all the Districts for this paper, but disappointed
in many quarters. We think as many as Eve Wing
members chosen.
Our friends abroad will say we have done we'll to
tie our opponents the average vote, in this City,
where they last Spring pretended TO have, and by
But that was transparent cheat, which would not
bear repeating so soon; and we might have done so
much better new, thae do not feel that we have
done any thing.
BY LAST NIGHTS WESTERN MAIL.
The mail last evening brought the intelligence of
the triumph ofthe Wings in several counties that
were Loco Foco last year. In Oneida the Wing can
ddate for Sheriff is undoubtedly elected. The county
has been the strong hold Of the Loco Focos. The
county of Rensselaer, is also redeemed by about 800
majority. So far returns for members of the As
semby, the Wings gain in Rensselaer,, in sche.
nectady, in Montgomery, 3 in Cayuga, and in
Westchester-9 in all. They lose (reported) in
the city of New York, 1 in Orleans. There is also
report tho Wings lose 3 in Monroe IF this report
proves true, the WING NET GAIN is a.
The Albany Advertiser has the following remarks

The Election So far ain opinion can be formed
from the election returns yet received il seems high
y probable to say certain that the Wings this
State will baye. in the new Assembly considerably
