THE ELECTIONS IN NEW yOpK

We had received enough Information before

us that the democracy had lost the election in

their ancient opponent is defeated. The men

The democratic party is al this moment as s,rono

more than 10000 majority.
The Governor is whig by a plurality vote over

For the New Era.
ID TO MEMORY

sweet Memory recalls to mind,
The early scenes Of pleasures past
AND robes them with her hues rcfin'd,
Like sunsets glow of GORGEOUS cast
Memory hallows ev'ry spot,
Where in youth | loved to roam.
AND all the early pastimes sought,
Among the bills of ones own home.
The sparkling rills and lonely shade
winch ofier'd me n soft repose-
"herc oft in summer days I'vc play'd,-
10 pluck the wild sweet rcented rose,
Are all remember'din my mind
And TREASURED in my beating heart
From my remembrance, soft and kind
with my life l had sooner part.
The schoolhoy hours of frolic glee,
Those happy days of childish dreams
Have flown away with infancy.
A mothers look-no longer beams
With love on her fond infants charms
With a flush face of rosy smiles,
As an Angel, shielding from harm
The innocent life of her child.
Now-all these pleasures are flown;
lis Jolly to expect them again.
And all that remains is to mourn
And In tears and silence complain.
The winters chill has frozen DER
The fountain of my gushing tears,
Child my hearts most secret CORE
And decay, all cank'ring appears.
My brooding min doth linger Ger
These early scenes SO free from woes
Sunshine and light to me no moro
For Friends and Fortune are my foes.
The Friends had-O, empty sound
When Fortune smil'd they too did smile
But when the tickle Goddess frown'd
No where could they be found the while.
A lovely lady l did WOO!
Beauteous as the biushing morn
deem'd her peerless as the dew
That the fresh verdant lawns adorn.
But she alas was false to me-
Yet Memory still loves to dwell
In Rapiure's silent reverie
Over the past passions swell.
Pleasures on wings have flown away,
My heart is whitening with cold
And all that's left of other days
Are the past memories Of old.
My memory feeds on those hours
Fondly over those pleasures, weeos-
Exhales it's honey from these fow'rs
Till loaded down like bees with sweets.
This life so dull and weary now,
Would be gloomier still to me,
And sorrow no'er would cease to flow
Deprive me of my memory.
Sweet Land of my fathers and lovei
nov fondly bid you adieu;
III yet be possessed of thy Grove,
If Fortune be constant and true.

ABoLTTIONISTS AND WHIGGERv

hAND tE11IuUtIRH
Is John Young. the Wing Candidate for Co.
vernon of New York. an Abolitionist? In an
swer to that query, we extract the following from
The New York Globe!
Extract from The SPEECH OF JOHN
POUNG. in reply TO Mr.. Comslock of
Oneida, upon certain proposed amendments
Of the Constitution, which speech ,oas made
in The assembly. April 9Th. 1916:
But he [Comstock also fears the Abolition
lists. do not exactly understand the position of
that gentleman, and | do not know but what he
may call me an Abolltionist. | never heard there
was any apprehension of danger from the enlarpe-
ment of suffrage. Neither do | know any reason
why the color of The skin should determine the
right OF a man to vote, nor how far than princi
pie should be applied TO The Anglo Saxon race.
and how little tinge there must be in the skin be-
fore a man is allowed to vote. If this is the Abb
olitionism he fears, AMI TELL HIM THAT
DO NOT FEAR 1T. Ii we open wide the doors

BRACE IN THE SAME BENEVOLENT OBJECT,

to The ingenuity of The gentleman to settle. ON
THE BROAD QUESTION OF THE RIGHT
OF THE COLORED MAN TO VOTE, |
CAN ONLY SAY THAT IF HE DENIES

The doctrine Of John Young is that a negro
has the same right to vote that our adopted citi-
zens OF the same race with ourselves have. He
would extend this right 10 the fifteen OF twenty
thousand negroes in this State. If we embrace
the foreigner we must, says Young, EMBRACE
THE NEGRO! What say you adopted citizens -?
