And let il thunder for Oregon and
"a 40

The combination of Federalism, and Natlvisln, and
Abolitionism, and Forty-nineism, with several other
iSmS, has been again routed horse, foot and dragoon'
by the ever reliable, the indomitable, the never-to-be-
terrified Democracy of New York city We feel
personally rratifed at the result Yesterday, for the
Democracy have elected good men-we feel political
ly g%ratifed, because in the election of these men
great principles and great measures have been maln-
tanned. That great measure of dcliverance and h6-
erty, the Divorce of Bank and Satellite lNDE-
PENDENT TREASURY-has received the emphat-
ic sanction of this great Commercial Emporium. The
foreign and domestic policy of the National Admins
tration, as the people understand that policy, has been
approved. Pre-eminent IN that policy the great ques-
ton of Oregon-the question whether we should COM
promise even an inch south of the parallel OF Oh deg
40 min.-has been passed upon. The result is glo-
riOus, not Only in a local point of view, but in view
of our position before the world. That Spartan
Band of Senators who have stood by their country
and its rights, have been nobly sustained. This
great commercial metropolis, which has most to haz-
ard and lose in the event of a war, Las said, trumpet
tonrued, let war come if the compromise of Amerl-
can Rights makes it inevitable. New York city has
said so by the result which it is our pleasure and duty
TO announce.
The Morning News of the same day has the fol-
lowing:
s.The election resulted Yesterday in a splendid tri-
umph for the democracy of New York, In spite of all
the demonstrations Of evil which so many had drawn
from the local discussions dividing our friends IN sew
eral of the wards. We have elected our Mayor by a
majority of about 1000 votes over the candidate Of
W61g-Nativism, and about ID 900 over the candidate
of the naked Nativism per sc. Both branches OF the
Common Council remain strongly Democratic. In
each Board we shall have fifteen Democrats to two
Wings and one Native. 1t is last years Waterloo
over again"
The Oregon Question was one of the great issues
of this election, as will be seen not only by the above
extracts from the ''Globe," but by the following ex-
tract from the Commercial Advertiser, a wing paper.
of the day preceding the election.
A NEW IssUE.-The Democrats have brought for
ward a new issue-the war cry of ~ffty-four for a city
election Such was the whole and sole talk at Tam
many Hail on Friday evening, and now their organ
comes out with 1t as a rallying cry for Tomorrow,
with lots of slang about Republican onslaughts,'
'draw your bright swords ''prepare the ship for ac-
ton" &c. &c. Merchants of New York, will you
tolerate this! Are local elections to be made endor-
sers of Presidential policy! Will our citizens sub
nit to have their interests sacrificed to subserve the
purpose of brawling demagogues and political spoil
hunters! Let tomorrow tell a different tale
This ''new ISSUE was put forth by the Democracy
assembled in Tammany Hall, in the following une-
quivocal terms:
'sResolued, That the Democratic Republican Elec-
tors Of the City and County Of Nec York, beliere
that our right to the Oregon Territory to the latitude
of 81 deg. 40 min. as clear and unguestiona5le that
the notice should pass Without any compromising quail
ifcation ; and that ICE WiR regard any comp omise,
inrOlring the sacrifice Of a single inch, as a policy
alike disgracgful and corard7y."
If the Wings are thus beaten on the issue in the
commercial stronghold, where are they TO find support
ers of their policy!
