THE LATE ELECTION IN NEW YORK

Ii is now clearly usce tanned by the official re-
turns of the Stlte Of New York that the Abolition

Wing Presidential Electoral Ticket, the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor, six members Of Congress,
four Canal Commissioners, four Senators, viz: IN

and the Annexation of Texas. Indeed, we have

Southern Shareholders, also, through the press,
openly and publicly pointed at them as the coadiu-
