An AMERlC8NPARTY
The Stale Of New York has given hel
electoral yo,eto James X. Polk, aud tina
electoral vote, il he is elected, has given
han The office OF President Of the Uui,eC
States. We need nol say that We recorl
this result with no satisfaction; for we re
gard 1t as calamity to the people oil The
country, and an esyecia, affection to all
lis business prospects, The result, IN
deed, IN TINS State, Is more than Il public
atliclloD. 1t diSgraces US in our own
eyes, and before the whole people. We
Know not upon whom 10 east the blame,
for such result, except upon our oppo-
nants, and some thousands of Abolition,
islS--the last Of whom, no doubt, could
have prevented the election OF James h
Polk. They have chosen, with some hon
orable exceptions, however, and IN The
exercise Of an undoubted right 10 give
their influence entirely to the election OF
a man hostile TO all their views, and
nominated and now elected by South
ern yoles, and Texas influence. If they
can reconcile their conduct with their
principles, Lc il so. We have 70 amin
adyersious 10 cast upon them beyond the
result to which they have contributed.
and which they must in their hearts de-
plore They could have prevented the
evil, and so could the Whis party in spite
of them, but for the FRAUDS of their OPP
pcnents.
10 this result, then, we must come at
last: That frauiuIeat Foreign UoteS haze
giren the electoral roteS Of the Sale of
Nep York 10 James k, Polk, and that the
same fraud perPetrdied e'Seuhcre has green
him majoriiy Of the electoral r0teS Of the
country. Our enemies cannot conceal his
fact. 1t is beyond disguise. 1t is seen IN
the vote of this city. Ii is seen IN the
vote Of ST. Lawrence and Jefferson. 1t
is seen along the river counties, and eve
rywhere where there has been foreign
material 10 make votes OF. Most mean
choly Of all, has been seen IN many OF
our public courts, where, with indecent
haste, and in the indulgence Of proscrip-
tive spirit against the Wings, there has
besn the manifestation of great partial
i,v for sympalhizers in politics, and
where Justice has been tramped under
foot What have our courts Of law 10 do
with politics? What right have our Judg,
es to bring their party predictions upon
the Bench? Is this the price OF the pla-
ces they received, and is justice thus to
be mixed up with party stgiteS, scrambes
for office. and the schemes of political
spor,smen to delraud the people OF their
rights? FROM NINE TO TEN THOUSAND CIT
1zENs WERE MADE IN The STATE OF n, YORK
