Great Democratic Triumph i'm the City
of New York.

The Democracy of New York have achieved sig
nal victory over both Whigs and Nativists. William
F. Havemeyer is elected Mayor by majority Of over
COCO votes The " Native" candidate received about
thrice as many votes as the Wing candidate did,
though, on the other hand the Nativsts have not
elected single member of the Common Council.
This proves that great number of the Wings voted
for the Native candidate.
The Evening Post of the 9th says:
"Our city election took place yesterday (Thesday)
It was conducted with perfect quiet during the day
The result is that both Wings and Natviss are
pletely routed The Nativists claim to have elected
constable in the Second Ward-thats all The
Wings we allow two wards out of seventeen. This
is the way the democrats do up their business"
The Journal of Commerce, which supported the
Native ticket, says:
In the Common Council too, the Democrats have
made nearly clean sweep. Out OF IL Wards they
have carried To- In the Sd and 18th the Wing candi
dates are elected This is all that has been saved out
CT the wreck"
The Plebean Justly exults as follows:
oThis is one of the grandest triumphs which the
Democracy has ever achieved! II is a second Decla-
ration of Independence II is victory of American
Principles, and death blow to Bigotry and Intoler-
ance This morning dawns upon victory such as
never before rewarded the efforts of the Democratic
Party.
