NEW WORK CITY ELECTION.

The election Of yesterday resulted in the choice OF
the Nativst candidate Mayor, ard majority OF The
same party in both branches OF The Common Council
The Wings, in the full certainty that they could not
maintain any thing like equal contest with the De-
mocrats dropped their ticket, and adopted that Of the
Nat,vists a general rush was made IRON their ranks
into the ranks Of the third party. Not single men,
her of the Common Council is elected, who not
either on the Democratic ticket that of the Natvsts
The anticipation which expressed the other day IS
fulfilled, and this morning, Morris franklin, the Wing
candidate for Mayor, strangled like young Turk OF
blood royal, by the hands OF his own kindred IS
floating in the political Bosphorous Three ourihs OF
the vote by which Harper is elected any one may
see who looks at the large vote given to Codd'ngton
the Democratic candidate, came from the wing party
Meantime, We desire the particular attention of our
readers to the confession Of utter weakness made by
the Wing party in this election. Scarce Wing by
name is TO be found in the city all Of them, but the
little band who voted for Morris Franklin, have been
transformed into Nativs,s. The Second Ward con-
lains curiosity Mr. Revo G. flance, the assessor
elect for that ward and the only candidate the
Whig ticket that has been elecled-as great wonder
in bis way the Lap!and dwarf, at the Museum
Sir. Hance, we presume, has been left for seed, and
from him the party expect no doubt TO rear an abun-
dsnt harvest Of Wings for the Auumnn election. In
regard TO every other candidate, the Wings volun-
tarily merged and lost in the Natviss-a most EN-
phato acknowledgment Of .ie hopeless minority IN
which they stand.
The number of votes given for the Democratic can
dldate about twenty lHousdHu Tue vote LOT liar
ger exceeds it By about four thousand A moderate
number Of votes was seduced from the Democratic par.
ty, the rest we're given by the Wings, and sweed the
vote Of the Na,ivsls to majority. The result shows
in the dearest MANNER as clearly as the most decded
victory gained by could DO, that IN any question IN
which the Democrats party fully united they can at
any carry the city BY majority which renders all
opposition hopeless.
The facility with which Morris Franklin was desert
ed By those who procured tor HIM the empty honor OF
nj ha ia m lec
son for Mr. Clay and his friends. IL shows them how
easily that tickle party shake off candidate when
his fortunes become unpromsing Let US but hear OF
adefeat Of the Wings in Virginia, and the Wings will
probably begin talk of General Scott, or some other
''available candidate, instead OF Henry Clay.
The result Of Yesterdays election was aided in the
different wards By colonists as they called, who
from the other wards, IN order to secure To-
cal majority Most of that of floating voters who
have heretofore been employed more or less by both
parties for this purpose, were II report say une re-
c,uted BY the Natiyls,s In many instances, Wings,
Who voted for their own candidate for Mayor, gave their
votes and used their influence TO elect Nativlsts to the
Common Council The result 49, that we have SO
far as can now be judged, se! OF men 10 that body
more feeble and incompetent than VIC nave had Tor years
before. We shsl be glad II their behavior IN oihce
shall show that we are mistaken
For Mayor, Coddngton Dem 1850; Ffaak!in,
(Whg) 4,40i; Harper, (Na,ive) 24,55o.
