NEW York STATE ELEcTIoN.-On all sides we
hear OF the apathy at the election on Tuesday The
returns from the interior, which reach us slowly,
indicate this, and the figures are scarcely worth
giving
In the ant-rent districts, the ant-renters have
polled large vote, and have elected many of their
ticket Their vote in some towns is overwhem-
ing.
In Albany city, the democratic candidate for Sc
nate received l,730 majority, while on the Assem-
bly, ucket the highest democrat led the highest whg
o. " 620 The result in the county is the election
TO the Assembly OF Harris, Watson, and Shafer-
two democrats and one whg, and majority OF
1000 for Van Schoonhoven, the whig candidate for
Senator.
Ia Schenectady the democrats have majority
OF 900.
Some towns have changed to democracy this
year, while others have turned whig.
Hudson city gives democratic Senatorial ma
jorlty of 30.
The Convention question excited but little inter
est, and the vote polled relative to il appears to be
reduced one everywhere
The returns are much scattered, but we will
throw them into some shape tomorrow. Never
before were there so many different tickets brought
INTO one contest IN this State.

Observation-Disclosures AND Roor Some weeks
ago, paragraph, publishedin letter from Hudson,
in the Ncw York Herald, gave a biographical sketch
of the celebrated DR.. Boughton, lately convicted in
Columbia county, in which it was stated among
other things, that he resided while at Delhi till the
breaking out of the Patriot war in Canada, when he
enlisted under General Van Rensselaer,, at Albany,
together with Gen. Roots son, who was then Ca
Diet at West Point, and went to help the Patriots.
The like statement, we are informed, has been re-
published In other papers. We are assured by
friend OF Gen. Root that the statement far as re-
laes to his son is entirely erroneous. He never had
but two sons-the eldest of whom was Mldship-
man in the Navy, and died in 1928; and the other
was commissioned Lieutenant in the Army Of the
United States in the early part Of Mr.. Van Buren's
administrations and is still in service in the 9Th regl-

10 the Senate,
and House Of Representatives.:
| transmit herewith copies of despatch
es received from our Minister at Mexico,
since the commencement of your present
session, which claim, from their imDor-
lance, and | doubt not will receive, your
calm and deliberate consideration. The
extraordinary and highly offensive Ian.
guage which the Mexican Government
has thought proper TO employ to the re-
monstrances of the Executive, through
Nh Shannon, against the renewal of the
war with Texas while the question of an
nexalion was pending before Congress
and the People, and also the proposed
manner of conducting that war, will not
fail to arrest your attention.
Such remonstrance, urged in no I'M
friendly spirit TO Mexico, was called for
by considerations of an imperative char
acter, having relation as well to the
peace Of this country and honor of this
Government, as to the cause of hu
mainly and civilization. Texas had
entered into the Treaty of Annex alton
upon the invitation of the Executive and
when, for that act, she was threatened
with war on the part of Mexico, she uatu
rally looked to this Government to inter
pose its efforts to ward off the threatened
blow. But one course was left the Elk
ecutive, acting within the limits of its con
stltulional competency. and that was &c
protes, in respectful, but at the same time
strong and decided terms against it.
The war thus threatened TO be renew
ed, was promulgated by edicis and de-
crees, which ordered, on the part of the
Mexican military, the desolation of whole
tracts of country, and the destruction
without discrimination Of all ages, sexes
and conditions of existence. Over the
manner Of conducting war, Mexico pos
scsses no exclusive control. She has nj

But littlo of interest has been done during the
last week. The members have spent the first
three weeks of the session in talking about re-
trenchment, and, during the past week, have been
absent in such numbers ms to leave the house with

lature have taken leave of absence for week or
$50 900 of the people smoncy have been oxpend-
cd, and not the first important measure has yc,
been adopted, though reucnchmcnt reform, and
economy have been proclaimed, reiterated, and re-
echoed by numbers upon all questions, all occa-
sions, and all subjects, until they have become
trie and hackneycd phrases. ltwould be a great,
improvement, as well grca, saving of ex.
pense, to fix the meeting of the legislature upon
tho Is, of January instead ofthc lst of December.
Nothing can be done until after the holidays.
The only question of interest during the last
fey days has been the arrest of the senator from
HarcocK county by the sheriff of that county, on
tho charge OF being concerned in the murder OF
the Smiths. The senate, on learning his ares,
sent their sergeant at arms TO notify the sheriff
TO release him. This was tie first case of the
