It will BE seen THAI our candidates for
Senator and Register Gre elected BY tri-
usaphant miori,ies--ta,e entire assembly
ticket is also elected. The returns Of The
various ward majori,ies are not official,
and cannot therefore be regarded as exact.
The democrats have handsomely beaten
the wings. and the wings have beaten the
natives. The vote falls far short Of tina,
given last spring. Had our entire vote
been called out. we could have given q
5000 majority; as it il, we are entirely
satisfied, and have great cause for reioic-
ing and tender our thanks TO the noble de-
mocracy Of New York city for the gal
lantry OF their conduct yesterday.
: Kings county, it is said, has given San
ford majority of $50. Of that Williams
burgh gave 1913, and Brooklyn 2O,.
Richmond county has given democrat

The Hawkeye alludes 10 the delay which
has taken place in supplying the vacancy
in the Supreme Court Of the United States
As proof that the President is governed in
his official acts by selfish and unpatristic
considerations. Does not our contemporary
know that under resolution Of the Senate
adopted last winter-the object Of which
was to ''head" Capt. Tyler-no appoint
ment can be made to the place in question
during the recess Of Cougress9 The whig
Senate is alone responsible far the vacancy

would have the public believe have grown

From the Wasaingt on Union


The Pottawatoinie Indians paid visit
Of respect, yesterday, to Col. Benton, at
his residence. The Colonel met them at
the door, aud extended a cordial welcome
to his mansion. Arrived in the drawing
room, he expressed 10 the delegation the
qualification he felt in shaking hands with
his red brethren from the far West
Halliday, the orator, then addressed him
in substance as follows, (P. Leclerc act.
ing a. interpreter.)
my friend: We have come to pay YOU
3 mark Of our respect and friendship
Your people in the far West are our
neighbors; we live in peace with them.-
We have often heard your name: it is
known to all the Indians on the frontier,
We regard you as our friend. And now,
when here, far away from our homes, who
would not be glad to meet you as friend?'
70 this Col. Benton, with great sauvity
and dignity Of manner, made an apprcpri-
ate reply, assuring the Indians, that, in
his action az senator Of the United States.
he would always endeavor to do them JUS
tlce, that he desired to preserve our rela-
tions Of peace and friendship with all the
Indian tribes; and that he hoped, before
leaving the city, they would succeed in
adjusting all their business with the gov
eminent to their satisfaction and advan-
tage.
Refreshments having been handed round
the conversations became general, and was
participated in By the members Of Col.
Benton's fanily--among whom, We are
tempted to remark, was the accomplished
lady Of gallant young officer, who ha.
already, BY his distinguished servic to the
government in the wilds between the
Missouri and the Pacific, achieved for
himself reputation which will be as last
ing as tits enviable.
The Indians, and gentlemen with them,
took leave. all highly pleased with the in.
terview. They retired, delighted with
Col. Benton's manner towards their peo.
pie, who thus rendered to him The tribute
.of their. respect. They said lis manner
did honor both to his head and heart. Il
was singnlaTly kind and friendly.

The election closed last evening. It's
result is q brilliant triumph Of the New
York democracy. The Senator, the Re-
gister, and the thirteen members Of the ic-
gislature are elected by an unexpected and
triumphant majority. Whiggery an nativ-
ism are put 10 ront. The noble policy Of
President Polk, as reflected in his inau.
gural. is sustained in quiet election BY
an overwhelming majority Of the votes
polled. His foreign policy is sustained by
the most decisive majority, and that major
ity is given BY the people Of the great com.
n.ercial emporium Of the western CONT.
nent. We feel proud Of our city. Where
has there been crisis when her sturdy
democracy have not come off vic,ors:
When has she failed not only to originate
great measures, but to use her Herculear
arm in their consummation? We have nj
time to say more and give the najorities il

that Texas has been annexed TO the United
States by the votes Of the democracy d
that country; and that we are bound IN

The Atlas gives the following account
Of case:
Two checks, one for $500, ptrpofting
TO be drawn BY Loring s. Winchester, pay.
able 70 Geo. A. Reed, or bearer, the other
for $475, by Rowland & Hinckley, both
forgcries, were paid at the :shawmut Bank
on Saturday week. One OF the above
firms, on coming into the bank, was asked
by the teller ifthe check, which was shown
him, was his firms. He first replied yes,
but looking at it again, said no, the mum
Der is wrong. The boy who presented
the check Of $500 IS named Augustus
Clapp, and he keeps with George p. Reed,
in fremont Row. His parents reside in
Nantucket, and he is about II years old.
The circumstances, as related by the
boy; are substantially to this effect: On
Saturday morning, between IL and IL o.
clock, he was met by young man in Ire
mont Row, opposite the vacant A,henmum
lot, who asked him do you want TO d" an
errand for ise and earn half a dollar?'-
He replied, yes sir, if can do j, honestly.
The man then asked it he knew where
State street was? The boy said he did
Dn ynn know where the Granite Bank is?
Yes, said the boy. The man then gave The
boy check in blue book, wishing him q
20 and get check cashed, and told the boy
to bring him the money at the Tremon,
House, and it he did not find him in the
rotunda, the porter would show him ia
his room, and that his name was Bates.
The boy looked at the check and said il
was drawn on the Shawmut Bank. The
man answered that it was.
The boy then went to the Shawmu,
Bank and presented the check which was
paid BY the teller with $500 bill. When
the boy came out he met the man and gave
him the money, for which he gave the boy
Is 81 cents, and told him he was in a
hurry, but he knew where he kept, and
would certainly leave the balance at the
store in the course Of the day, and then
cut and run down NJ alter street. The boy
followed after, but lost sigh, of him il
Federal street.
The checks were well executed forge.
ries, and done by some one well acquant.
