NEW YGRE ELRGTIaa

The, retaTus of the election from New
York. show that the Democrats have been
defeated by decided lnajorities. The
cause of this great revolution, we cannot
perceive, when we consider that a major
ity have approved ofthe new Constitution,
in which are incorporated these very
principles which are maintained by Mr..
Wright, and the Democratic patty gener-
ally. Such revolution as this, generally
implies more than change of men in
power. But in this result, we see willie
the people have approved of constitu-
tion-they have elected those who have
always opposed the principles which it
contains.
This result certainly Ieavesthe question
in very singular dilemma. The pepoIe
of Now York, have elected John Young
to administer the government of that
State, who belongs to party which has
ever "waged war" against the principles
which they have adopted in their consti.
tuition. This appears to coincide with
the old adage, that "Solon's laws survive,
though Scion has no share in administer
ing them.''
Many have been the weapons which
the Wings have used in this contest
None proved so disastrous to the Demo
cratic party as the Anti-Rent question:
The Anti Renters were assured that sho'd
Mr.. Young be elected, he would imnedi-
ately mterpose in their behalf And that
he would liberate their friends, who are
confined in the prisons of the State, for the
violations Of its laws. But nothing prov
ed more fatal to tho Democrats than the
divisions among themselves. The effects
of this can be readily seen, by referring
to the large gains which the wings have
made in the Congressional delegation
The Democrats had two candidates in
seven of the districts-this accounts in a
measure for our defeat.

A hard Fight ADticipated.

Our exchanges are full of prognost;ca.
tons relative TO the anticipated battle at
RIconado, 80 miles from Monterey, and
about half way to Saltillo. This is the
place to which Gen Ampudia, with his
army, was to fall back, in accordance
with the terms Of the Monterey capitula-
ton. The Cleveland Plain Dealer speaks
OF IT as being town about the size OF
Cleveland. and so situated, among the
mountains, as TO form the key TO Sa!liIlo.
Here, it is supposed, a desperate and de-
termned stand viii be made by the whole
Mexican army, with Santa Anna at its
head, and a battle fought more bloody
than any we have yet had. Should vic.
tory crown the efforts OF our brave army,
Saltillo will then be attacked. At this
place in the language ofthe Plain Deal
er, Santa Anna will stake his fortunes
as public man, and his reputation as a
military leader. lfSaliillo be taken San.

HE New ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA.
We find in the Sangamo Journal letter
from j. F. Reed, late of Springfield, Iii.
nois, dated at Fort Bridger, one hundred
miles from the great Salt Lake, July 3lst
1916:
The new road, or Hastings Cut-of,,
/ This is manifestly Capt. Fremont's new
Undiscovered route to California, leaves
the Fort Hall road here, and is said TO
be sewing of $50 or 400 miles in going
to California, and better roate. There
is, however, or is thoegh to be one stretch
offor;y miles without wafer; but Hastings
and his party are out ahead examining for
water, or for route to avoid this stretch.
think that they cannot avoid it, for il
crosses an arm of the Eutaw Lake, now
dry. Mr.. Bridger, and other gentlemen
here who have trapped that country, say
that the lake has receded from the tract Of
country in question. There is plenty Of
grass in which we can cut and put into
the wagons for our cattle while crossing
it.
We are now only one hundred mics
from the great Salt Lake, by the new
route--in all, two hundred and fifty miles
from California; while, by way of Fort
Hall, it is six hundred and fifty or seven
hundred miles-makng great saving ia
favor ofjaded oxen and dust. On the new
route we will not have dust, as there are
but sixty wagons ahead Of US. The rest
ofthe Californians went the long route,
feeling afraid Of Hastings's Cutoff. Mr..
Bridger informs me that The route we de-
sign to take is fine, level road, with
plenty Of water and grass, with the ex,
ception before stated 1t is estimated that
seven hundred miles will take US to Capt
Suffers Fort, which we hope to make in
seven weeks from this day.
want you to inform the emigration
that they can be supplied with fresh cattle
by MessrS. Vasques and Bridger, They
have now about two hundred head OF
oxen, cows and young cattle, with great
many horses and mules: and they can be
relied on for doing business honorably and
fairly. Mr.. Bridger will go to st Louis
this fall, and return with the emigration in
the spring, and will be very useful as a
pilot. He will be found during winter in
St. Louis, at Mr.. Robert Campbell's,
merchant. | must put you on your guard
against two or three persons who have
left California and Oregon for horscsteal-
ing and other crimes. OF course they
dislike those countries, They are perfect
vagabonds.
There are two gentlemen here--one
of them an Englishman, of the name of
Wills, and the other yankee, named
Mi!es-who will leave here in few days
to settle at some favorable point on the
Salt Lake, which, in short time, will be
fine place for emigrants to recruit their
teams, by exchanging broken-down oxen
for good teams.
