ELECTIONS.
CONNECTICUT.

Four columns of the Globe Of the 9th inst. are
occupied with returns and letters from Connec-
ticut, from which ii appears that there have been
about 81 900 votes polled, which exceed the
votes given at any other election by 4,9OO. The
whig candidate for governor leads the democrat
ic candidate loss votes; but he lacks s66 ofan
election, owing to the scattering votes, which are
chiefly for an abolition candidate.
The wings, it appears, have majority OF sew
en- in the Senate; and the democrats have ma
iority of three in the house over the wings and
abolitionists combined. The democrats obtain
ed majorties in rs towns, and the wings maiori-
ties in only 60. The democrats would have had
decided majority in the House, if they had vo-
ted "the whole ticket, and nothing but the tick
et."
The New Haven Register of the 4th inst says:
Now that the smoke has cleared of, it appears
that the democratic vote has greatly increased
from last year; that we have gained nearly as
many towns as we have lost; that the wings have
elected only about fifteen representatives more
than they had last year, when the democrats had
about thirty majority; that nearly every town has
Increased its democratic vote; and the wings hold
the house not by their gains, but by the failure
of democratic towns TO elect representatives!
Serenity eight towns have given Cleveland ma
Ljorty over Baldwin; sixty towns majority for
Baldwin over Cleveland, and three tie. In ev-
cry town giving Baldwin majority, the wings
have elected Gn several instances by abolition
help their representatives; while in ttcenty-tWo
towns giving democratic majorities and entitled
tothaty.four representatives, no choice has been
made! Thus it will be seen, that the State is yet
thoroughly democratic; and that if one-half only
of these falling towns had gone unitedly to the
polls, the House would have been democratic!
and we should have saved the State! 1t may not
be yet too late--though we cannot tell which or
how many ofthem adjourned SINE die,
More than twenty whig representatives are G.
lected by less than one hundred UoteS! and their
majority in the Senate hangs upon as slight a
thread! What, then, have the federalists gained? +?
Nothing. There has been no change in public
sentiment in Connecticut Our apparent defeat
is owing entirely 10 the importation of voters
from out the State and it is similar fact that
the greatest increase of whig strength is in towns
where the wings hare the boards as in New Ha-
ven, Hartford Norwich, Bridgeport, Stamford, &c
We have no doubt that at least l,5OO fictitious
votes were admitted by the federalists and we
are equally certain that we can carry Connecti-
cut against Henry Clay, if we can keep off pipe.

NEW YORK CHARTER ELECTION.


On the 9th inst. the charter election in the ci-
ty of New York took place. There were three
candidates run for Mayor; Harper, (natve Amer
cun,) Coddington, (democrat) and Franklin,
(whig) The wings, conscious of their weakness
in great measure abandoned their own ticket,
and supported that of the native Americans. The
consequence was that Harper was elected, his
vote being % 1868; Coddington received 1925;
and Franklin 5,l76. The Native American cam
didate leads the democratic candidate 4,03S;and
the democratic candidate beats the Thig candi-
date 4649--whichis aboutas many votes as the
democrats received last fall, when they were
successful. The vote islarger by four five thou
sand in the city than was ever given before.
The democrats have elected five alderman and
six assistants. The Native Americans have elect
ed twelve Alderman, and eleven assistants, and
the t5~Whgs have elected neither Alderman
assistant alderman, or any thing else! Good!
The wings have carried Albany by their usual
majority and the democrats have carried Brook
lyn by their accustomed vote.
