GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

SMASHED TO PIECES.

And Probably also the State.

The returns are annexed.
OF the Congressional End State tickets we can

iron listed men generally go the whole hog--they

If, therefore, the ''Imperial City, (Webster

One COOP REsULT-OEFEAT OF THE POLITICIANS
One good result at least has happened in this poll
teal contest. According to all probability, if Mr.
Polk should be elected, it may be considered .
general defeat Of all the intriguing politicians Of the
day. Clay-Calhoun-Van Buren-Benton-Ca ss
-Webster-Tyler and the whole bunch Of those
wrangling, intriguing politicians, who have kept
the country in a stew all the time for years past,
may be considered as effectually laid the shelf.
They are all dead and buried, and have been de-
molished by new man, generally unknown to the
country, with only good moral character and an
intellect Of ordinary capacity to sustain him. The
wing party is also demolished, and can never rally
again under that name. Mayhap, the American
Republicans will take the place of this defunct
party, and if they wish to succeed in 184S, we re-
commend them at once TO take up sound, con.
scientious, moral, patriotic man, against whose
private character nothing can be said, and who il
connected with the history Of the country, whatever
his sentiments may be on political affairs. Such a
man we would say is General Winfield Scott-ii
the wings had had him as their candidate in the
present election, they would have got on much
better.

| ALLAN OPERA-Thc materials now collected
in this city for bringing forth this refined amusement
in the highest style, are it 10 said better than We
have ever heretofore possessed. Perhaps in some
one or two Of the characters, the troupe cannot be
compared to the Garcia company but setting Ma
libran aside, we believe, after all, the present COM
pany is superior to any ever concentrated In this
city. We have two prima donnas-Borghese and
Pico-each superb in her line secundo donnas IL
any number; two tenors, and BASES OF excellent
character. All that we want is good management,
good temper, and good sense and decency Of de-
meanor in the troupe itself. Since they failed In
the recent attempt at short season at Palmo's,
they have been negotiating in all sorts OF forms
now at Palm0's, and now at Intellectually, they
agreed to open at Niblo's but it now appears that
the majority Of the subscribers are unwilling TO
leave Palmo's, and so they are back again nego-
tiating Tor Palmo's theatre. There is also good
deal OF difficulty and many rumors afloat about
salaries, costumes, music, and we know not what.
1t lie, however, a philosophical question, worthy
of discussion by a body Of savaNs, whether all
these difficulties and quarres and stormy negotia-
tons do not materially add to the energy spirit and
effect of the performances OF the company when
they get before the public. But until we have the
matter subjected TO rigid investigation by Dr.
Lardner, so as to obtain full development Of the
natural philosophy Of the thing, just as he devel
oped the phenomena attendant on the explosion Of
the steam engine on the Reading railway, we shall
consider ourselves on the fence in relation to this
matter In the meantime, we trust that the com.

THE CAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY. 1t now appears
that the great object of the recent onslaught upon
DR.. Hawks in the Episcopal Convention, was to
prevent him from carrying into effect his avowed
determination Of bringing the conduct OF a certain
Bishop under review, when he himself should get
into the House OF Bishops. DR.. Hawks was well
acquainted with the walk and conversation Of
the ecclesiastical dgnitary alluded TO, and was re-
solved to subject it to the scrutiny Of his brethren
Hence the effort to demolish DR.. Hawks. But il
failed, and now we await the second act in this
interesting ecclesiastical drama.

O'CoNNELL's RBMARxABLR LETTER BACKING Our
FROM REPxAL.-We publish on the first page of
ibis days paper, the extraordinary letter recently
issued by O'Connell, and which is at present at
tracing much attention the other side OF the
water. 1t will doubtless attract an equal degree Of
notice and remark in this country. among the Irish
population Of the United States.
II will be perceived from this letter that O'Con-
nell has abandoned his former project of repeal,
and now announces his decided preference for the
"federative system" And why? Because that
scheme twill tend more to the maintenance of the
connection between Ireland and England than sim
pie repeal' II is easy TO imagine the effect pro-
duced amongst tho violent repealers by this an
nouncement. Surprise astonishment-perpIe
-omiRous silence, an audible discomfort, have
marked its reception by the repeal journals and
leaders. Already many of the parishes have re-
fused to contribute farhing to the repeal rent in
future; and it would appear that at least some Of
the deluded Irish people are awaking to convic-
hon of the real character OF O'Conneli, and the
hypocrisy OF his schemes and prsects O'Connell's
object is apparent enough. He labors TO effect
uaion once more with the Whgs-with the Wings
whom he has violently abused-for the purpose
of ousting the Tory administration, and then, UNI
der Wing rsgint, renewing his old game of agi-
taiion and bullying.
II is very painful TO contemplate the political de-
fusion into which the mass Of the Irish people are
led, both at hom. and abroad. In Ireland, they
have, fer lcns series of years, been made the
dupes of a schemiDg, hypocritical, selfish man,
who has been enrishing himself and his family on
the proceeds Of his successful inposture. What
good has resulted to unhappy Ireland from all his
schemes and all his agitation? None, whatever.
On the contrary, the country has been kept in a
state of continual agitation--the bad passions of
oppoEngSeetShave been infamed-the minds Of the
people diverted from industry and the real nature
of the evils which Cypress them The whole move
ment has been sectarian movement, artfuly de-
vised by cunning and avaricious man who gain
ed the support of the priesthood and by this means
succeeded in maintaining his rapacious hold spon
the people. We trust that this letter and the move
ments which will follow it, may sooner or later
efectually open the eyes of the Irish people to
their own folly and the real character Of the So
called leader

SpRla OF IvY.-We see it recorded in the
newspapers as an item OF very important news that
Bishop Onderdonk has received from the palace
at Lambeth, LONDON, sprig Of ivy, to plant by the
new church Of the Trinity, in Broadway This Is
all very COED, and doubt, "the rare old plan"
will be, when it spreads its broad and leay tendns
on the walls ofthe church, great ornamentto thai
magnificent edlfice. But there Is another thing

low, and planted in the Episcopal Church, SO as to
give a SAVIOR to the Bishops themselves, We really
do not think that much damage would be done to
the purity Of the atmosphere Of these regions. We
certainly want in addition to this important spre
Of ivy, sprig of something pure and holy, from
some unconaminated source, to be planted il,

RELIGIOUS MovEMENTs.-According to all ac-
counts from Illinois, it would appear that the Mer-
mons are the eve of extinction. very serious
difficulty has taken place amongst them, in csnse-
quence Of the death of Joe Smith, and the ambi-
ton of different sets Of leaders to usurp the sue
cession. Sidney Rigdou has established his
branch Of the church at Pittsburgh, and publishes
anewspaper there, and the twelve Apostles" as
they call themselves, are very busy at Nauvoo in
the delectable business Of defaming, abusing
and slandering each other. We trust they may all
succeed, for it is really most astonishing to see in
this enlightened age such set of hypocrtes acti-
ally arrogating TO themselves intercourse with
The Supreme -blasphemously asserting that
they possess his ear-and that they are in commu
nication with heaven for the purposes of publish
ing a new gospel to the world. more mpudent
piece VI humbug than this whole imposture has
been, was never preached.
The Millerites are pretty much in the same pre-
carious condition. They have run to seed in con-
sequence Of their peculiar doctrines. But they are
making some effort to pick up the scattered frag-
ments Of their faith and folly, in order to see #
they can make some stand for few years longer.
This is worse folly than even that of Mormon
ISM Their duperies are greater and more ridicu
lous, and the hypocrisy of their leaders has ad-
ditional spice OF impudence.
Now that these religious humbugs are passing
away, and that the election has also just passed,
may expect a new era Of imposture. Fouriersm
will again begin to its head, and all other sorts
Of isms. Such crack-brained beings as Greeley
and others cannot rest satisfied with common sense
business and rational attention to their worldly
matters, like reasonable men, but must always be
engaged in some ridiculous exploit or other.

long and appreciated services, as an actress, have

remain unimpaired during her absence.

THRArsrcALs Now that the election ia overwe
have every reason to expect great revival IN thea
Iricas in general, and all other amusemens IN TINS
city, OF every description. For some time past
theatrical amusements have been mos. nsgardly
attended; and with the exception OF one or two
minor iheatricals, all the others, and the higher
order Of the drama has been almost deserted. II Is
true that Macready during his short engagement
here, and the performance OF Ole Bull, TOO, were
well attended; but the Italian opera, and the legi
innate drama of every kind during the present sea-
son, in consequence Of the political exctement,hss
been in some measure a failure.
This depression in theatrical affairs affected the
Park Theatre as much any other, but it is probu-
BILE there will be revival felt even there; and there
is some reason to expect good houses during the
remainder of the season, provided they get up good
entertainments, and select and well chosen sue
cession of novelties At present one of the prnci.
pal features in the Park, is the engagement of Mr.
haywood, whose representations OF Scottish char
acter are admitted to be unrvalled He has brought
over TO this country with him a number OF
pieces; among the rest an amusing and most hu-
morous little dramatic production, founded on the
inmtable tale of Tam O'Shanter, by Burns This
was brought out on Monday evening, and was well
received; the house was not large, yetrespectable;
it of the neatest little gems we have seen Al
the Park for some time. and being a combination
of mele-drama, sentiment and spectacle, and il
characters pecuiarin every point oil view, it is, in
deed, an amusing piece. Every one knows the
peculiar characteristics OF those little morceaux ex
hbiting Irish character, in which the lamented
Power was so famous. haywood is the first who
has attempted to introduce similar sketches Of Scot
tsh character, which, although without all the rich
humor Of the Irish character, is stamped with
vein Of quiet humor, condensed sentiment, and a
dash Of dsviitry, irrssistibly comic, fresh ard
piquant. The piece has been got up with much at
tention, and haywood plays the famous Tam
O'Shanter with spirit and taste, whilst his crony,
Souter Johnny, is well sustained by Skerriu.
The other theatres will probably all feel the be-
neft of having passed the election fever. The
Bowery, Chatham, Olympic and Niblo's have ali
more or less felt the depression arising from the
political excitement Of the day but above all we
expect that the change about to take place will be
as much beneficial to the legitimate drama and re-
gular opera a. any other species of amusement.

Thoughts for AbOIiliOniStS,

The present is time that calls prominently
upon every friend of Liberty, to recur to and
weigh carefully the fundamental principles of our
organization, and strengthen himself from the
righteousness and glory of our enterprise, for the
conflict before us.
We believe that the doctrines of mans natural
equality and inaiienable rights as expressed in our
governmental creed, are not mere speculative alb
stractons, rreducible to practice, but the le-
gitimate ends to be secured and protected by the
constitution and legislation of the country. We
believe that the Constitution of the U. S. was in
tended aud adapted to "secure the blessings of
Liberty" and not the curses of slavery, to the
Qhen) people of the U. States and their posterty;
md that nothing but an utter peversion of its
