In BosToN.-Never within our recollection have
we Witnessed such intense political excitement as
Was manifested in this city on "Wednesday eve
ming TO hear the returns from New York city and
counties State street in front OF the Atlas office
and the Daily Mail was ihronged with a dense
crowd, and the shouts of both parties for their re-
spectiye candidates were actually deafening. At
length, when the Long Island train arrived and our
from the windows OF the "Daily Mail' in advance
OF all the other Journals il seemed as if all Bed
lam were let loose so vocilerous and enthusiastic
were the cheers On the whole, ii wasan eventiul
night, SUCH as we do not expect to witness again
tor many ayear, and both parties, with few ex-
ceptlons, conducted with as much moderation as
could be expected under such peculiarly exciting
Boston Mail Nov 8.
THE NEW MovEMENT.-The Wings have almost
to man, in this city, sgnalized their intentions to
abandon the good old name of Wings, under which
they have fought the last twelve years, and tr-
umphed nobly. We say they have abandoned the
American Party, started year or two since in
New York. Mr.. Samuel Stevens, who has been
spoutlng repeal TO the repeers for some time past,
has expressed himself in favor Of this new party,
and goes heart and hand against the men who only
month or two since, at repeal meeting at the
Capitol, he lauded to the skies as the greatest
pisentry in the world" Well, this is great coun-
try, and Sam Stevens is great man, or will be if
he has no pull backs. Calvin Pepper, Jr, another
distinguished umnary Of the "three cornered
court" and the able advocate Of the Aboltionists
this district, - cut strong for thsParty, and was
to be held shortly Hundreds of others are eager
tor the issue. We gould hear nothing else at the
Evening Journal office Yesterday but "hurrah for
devil with the Irsh:;" and there weie hundreds Of
enthusiastic Wings shouting. The American
Citizen in this city has defined its position, and
goes the "Native American Party" up to the hub.
The Journal, we understand, will wait and
feel of the public pulse before it shows its hand.
A number Of Locotocos have also expressed
themselves in favor Of this party and have signed
the call tor meeting, 50 Patrick Is bound to be
three years. We shall watch the progress Of this
new party and give our readers more on the sub
ject hereafter-Aibamy Kmickerbocker, Nov. Z.
The RRsuLT.-Another day of agony has pass
ed and another still, and perhaps yet another,
pass ere either party will know its fate. The in
terest and excitement IN our city have been most
intense; it could scarcely be greater were hostile
army approaching US: Every boat Is watched and
boarded by men anxious for news;i every railroad
car is beset and earnest inquiries made for returns;
every rumor is caught up and passed from mouth to
mouth; every individual who is supposed 10 possess
more information than others, is wayaid; and
every body asks every body else what is the
news, with lanxious looks, and an avidity that
shows how deep an interest all take in the result.
We hope the agony will soon be over, and the
wings be permitted to exglt inthe ELECTION Of Clay
The most intense anxiety was manifested last
evening and this morning by all classes Of our
citizens to hear the Jews from New York.
The first returns were rom ALBANY, which were
cheering to the whigs Then came the Long Isl
and cars with the returns from the city of New
York, which little depressed the party. This
morning the results were more favorable q The
wings, and they feel confident that Clay has car
riedthe State.-Boston Transcript Nor Z.
The NEW YORK ELEcTIoN.-The news from
New York will be received, OF course, afte lie
the "Pilot Line" fsr the Information on elsenon
matters in that direction During most OF yester-
day, the Wings were in fine spirits. They had the
returns from Jersey, which was most joyous. All
STATIONS Of pleasure. Before one o'clock, PM, a
boat arrived from New York, which brought
accounts from part of that State above Science
tady, that looked cheering At haifpasttwo o'clock,
ing intelligence. General Combs was passenger,
and his countenance was lighted up like brides,
on a sunny wedding morn. The thousands Of
Wings who saw him, cheered him heartily, aud
await the returns, satisfied that the majority cannot
be large, but refer readers to the Pilot Line"

In PHILADELpHA.-The week which closes to-
day. has been one of deep and intense excitement
in Philadelphia. The results OF the Presidential
struggle have, IN great measure depended upen
the results in New York; and the vote in that great
State has been so close, that the shrewdest among
our politicians have been completely puzzled fro m
day to day, 10 express any thing like a confident
opinion. The nsws-rooms, and many of the hotels,
have been crowded night after night, until after IL
o'clock, while the quiet of some Of our principal
streets, and at the midnight hour has been disturb
ed by the shouts OF the two great parties. Thou
sands have assembled at the steamboat landing,
Walnut street wharf, to await the arrival OF the
New York boat; and we fear that large sum Of
money has been rlsked in bets, and that thus a
keeHer degree of anxiety and interest has been inn
day or two longer, and the public pulse will re-
sumo its wonted tranquility. Then it will become
the duty oil the calm and rejecting to examine into
the whole history of the recent struggle throughout
when the final result shall be ascertained to speak
of the effects OF such result upon the future pros
poets Of the nation.-PhI. GAG, Nov g.
AN ELECTION IscrDENT.-Among the incidents
of the recent election we may mention the follow
ing :-An old and highly respectable citizen Of
West Philadelphia, who is afflicted with the palsy,
was taken to the polls in carriage, when his vote
was refused, inasmuch as he could not get out of
the carriage, and the inspectors would not go to
him. An expedient was then resorted to, by which
the vote of the old gentleman was attached 10 the
end of q long piece of bamboo, and by this means
he passed it from the carriage through the election
window, and 1t was thus received by the inspec-
tors, registered and counted-PhI Gas +, Nov. 8.
In Virginia about 600 persons assembled yester-
day at the Depot to hear the important news from
New York. Before the cars arrived at their stopping
place, the coons raised tremendous shout, as il
for great victorv-but when the crowd was in
formed that the Empire city had gone for Polk by
near 1900 the locos turned the tables and sent up
gallant huzza .-Richmomd Inquirer, Nov. 8
ELECTION RETURNS. The utmost excitement
prevails in regard to the elections. Last night
several thousand persons were at the steamboat
landing awaiting the intelligence from New York
and New Jersey. The returns from the former
State only increased the desire to hear from the re-
naming portion of it. We shall have most inte-
resting intelligence by the Telegraph this after
noon from North Carolina, and shall publish il in
the third edition Bait GAG Mon. 8.
