u 10 very seldom that the Express gets half so
near the truth a. Il has done in this paragraph IL
Is true, that, though Mr. Wright has been by an
snholy combination defeated, the great policy and
principles for which he has oil his life struggled
for which in 1884, when he solicited to run for
governor and save the State, he saw with clear
foreboding that he would be sacrificed, and for
which he has been sacrifeed-haye been, by the
popular vote on the new co nsttution most triumph
andy sustained. Il is trus-most Gue--that Silas
Wright "hss lefl his spirit, his mark, in the organic
Law ohhe STATE" What is more-ths mark will
stick The overthrow which we have sustained is,
under such circumstances, a barren victory TO the
spoilers, and, To the democracy Of the State, is
purged Of half ils bitterness.
The Official" from ST. Lawrence gives Mr..
Wright $50 majority. Il 10 splendid vote, and
towers up amid the general disaster noble monu-
ment to the man where he is best known--al home.
The new constitution has, in 81 counties, a ma
jority Of 1873 s62. In the same there is majority
against negro suffrage of I22,043 The vote will
be about TO A against it, IL will appear, think,
that il has Obtained majority in some eigh, or ten
counties Of the State.
The Conner and Van Ness trial exeiiss so much
interest here that OF the papers think ii worth
while to give the proceedings at full length.
The Courier des Etais Unis, moved by the dis
,ressing accounts Of the suffering among the French
poor by the recent nundations in France has open
ed at its Office list to receive subscriptions to
lief fund. This is very right and proper; and it il
most surprising that the far more affecting news
from Ireland has not long ago elected something
more than mere sympathy in this city, where the
adopted citizens are so numerous.
The Hutchinson family gave their first concert
since their return last evening at the Tabernacle.
It was most successful. Their simple melodies
we're received with more than the usual welcome
except one, "oh We are paying dear for Texas, v
which drew out mingled applause and Kisses. These
sweet singers Of New Hampshire must be careful
to esehew political allusion, il they would not have
their wood notes Wild at discount for much dis
cord. .. .... .a..
We breathe once more That is-"up-town" is
again at ease. The good ship Yorkshire, aided by
Neptune and Eolus, in their sympathy for our dis
ressing suspense, has arrived, after sixteen days
passage, with the Yiennoise children So that at
fair is settled and there is time think Of the war
the country, the tariff, and such minor matters.
Another dresry dismal dripping day when ever
Bozs Mark Taply might have ample opportunity
for looming out as strong" as he pleased. Y.
NEW YoRx, November 20.
| The struggle in Switzerland between the two
parties there is full of interest. Every friend o
State rights Tin this case, as, indeed, in most cases
involving almost every right worth living for) mus
wish success to the cantons Of which Lucerne is tn,
head.
The free-corps party have undoubtedly RICH
to effect any changes they please in their own can
tons; but when they undertake to force their view
upon their neighbors Of other cantons, they en-
tirely in the wrong, and ought to bs resisted. Al
well might New Jersey attempt by arms and war t.
compel New York to come under her laws respect
ing license. This notion Of interfering in othe
peoples affairs is all wrong, and the fruitful root o
numerous evils.
The Tribune and Evening Journal already taxi
airs on the strength of their recent victory. TIT
Express, Courier, Buffalo Advertiser, and all tina
class of papers, resent this and kick against it, They
will have to submit, however. They are in thu
vocative in the State since the 'frst Tuesday of No
vember. ...
1t seems we are certainly 10 have an Italian operi
this winter. Another victory for the upper circles
The Courier des Flats Unis, which always speaks
cathedra in these affairs says that there is let e
in town from Sanquirico, stating almost officially
that he will leave Liverpool for this country in thu
steamer of the 18th instant, yesterday with thu
following corps: prima donna, Signor Clotilda
Barili; first tenor, Sig. Benedittl; first base, Sig
Beneventaro; first buffo, the Sanquirco himself
"and nobody else" First alto tenore, Sig. Patti
Most of these are said to have European reputa
tions. The prima donna is not quite 81, and as
charming woman as singer 1t is said, too, thai
Mad Pico's superb voice will not long be wanting
to the tuneful choir. "Heureux pubc!' excaims
the Courier, in an apostrophe of Gallo enthusiasm

have just seen, with much surprise, in the AL.
bany Argus of the l7th instant quite an acrimonious
allusion to ''the writer of some letters from New
York for the Washington Union, from which the
Atlas has partially copied, (Which the Rochester
| Advertiser truly characterzes as "one-sded denun-
cations.')
There is some gross mistake here. The only re-
marks in the Union which the Rochester Adver tiser
has so characterized" whether "truy" or not,
were contained not in any letter of mine, but in an
editorial article soon after the election, in which the
defeat of Mr. Wright ascribed to the combined
influence of "hunkerism and antrrentsm,"s fact
so notorious here that no man of any reputation
would be hardy enough to deny it. The Union
was speaking only. of the loss of Mr.. Wright;
which, in the general disaster, was the one misfor-
tune that for time absorbed the attention and re-
gre,s of all democrats. With regard to myself,
