most important elections that ever look place il
New York. It has resulted in decided-a positive
"a tangible triumph TO the whigs-and as decided
as positive, as tangible defeat to the locofocos.
According 10 the best accounts at the time we
write, not fragment OF the locooco ticket, by any
accident, is supposed TO be eected-and the general
result Of the whole contest is undoubtedly in favor
of the wings tremendously. The details, up TO the
latest hour will be found elsewhere. Probably the
