doing precisely as the locos threatened to

New York Election.

The news of the great triumph of the
People in New York, which we recorded
last week, is fully sustained by all our
more recent intelligence from ,ha, great
State. The defeat of Silas Wright is sad
and serious blow to the Loco Foco party
throughout the Union. All their hopes Of
retaining the supremacy clustered around
his success. But he is defeated, and their
hopes are blasted. The people of tina,
great State saw that he had identified him.

destructive to the prosperity and best in
.teresls of the country, and they mustered
their strength to accomplish his downfall.
And they succeeded as they always will

who has been elected Governor of New
York, will make one of The best execu-
tive officers that State has had for many
years. The article which we copy from
the Tribune will show exactly how the
Congressional andLegislalive tickets stand

on the question of repeating the British

Some years ago, it will be recollected,
an ancient wall Of large dimensions was
discovered at what is now called Az,alan,
in Wisconsin, between The Four Lakes
and Milwaukee. The antiquarian NAV
now find an additional field for his re.
searches in Iowa. In Lee County, about
ten miles from Burlington a stone wall
was accidentally discovered on the farm
of Mr. VIM. Hei,er, while he was sinking
posts for fence few days since. A
correspondent thus describes it,
l saw great curiosity as came home
from Burlington. On the lower road from
Burlington here, on the farm Of VIM. Hell
ter. 7 miles distant from This place, has
been discovered under ground Stone
Wall about 2 feet wide, 2 fee, deep and
laid regularly and stone Tapped after the
fashion of foundation walls. |. appears to
have been the foundation of some ancient
building or supers,ruc,ure Of square di.
mansions about % feet either way. Ii is
on the highes, point of the prairie. the
ground rather receding from i, in every
direction. Not stone or a pebble except
those in the wall can be found in half
mile of The place. Mr. H. discovered the
wall in sinking posts for fenre. Mos,
OF us now uncovered and part of the
northern wall removed. There is a mid
die or partition wall. Many of the stones
are greatly decayed.

The Lee County "Possums.,,

stances alter cases." We have before al
uded to the wheeling propensi,ies Of The
/ Reporter man who, when before the cleo.
ton he though, the locos were sure of a
majority without the "Possums," called
MIR HCNER, and those associated with
him, by the most obnoxious blackguard
names, bu, as soon as he found he could
make no show without the "possums,
turned round and commenced beslavering
them with the grossest aattery. He but
acts out the feelings of the loco foco
cliques in Iowa. All will recollect the
time when independent democrats were
elected in Van Buren, county TO break up
The Abner Kneeland clique Of that day.
| The position Of these democrats was
precisely similar to the one now occupied
by the Independents of Lee, with this ex-
ception-lheir votes were not needed to
carry on, the measures Of the loco focos
in the Legislature-an and they were conse-
quen,ly treated and have been treated ev-
err since by those in power as traitors ard
renegades. Their names were cas-, out
as evil-,hey were called, in derision,
mongrels, hybrids, and by all sorts of OPP
probrious epilhets. They were elected
TO carry out given objec,-to break up
certain clique. So were the Independents
Of Lee. They have both thus far effected
their object. After the loco foco party
have FUSED" the Lee county delegation
for their own advantage, as they fondly
anticipate doing, they will turn round and
ana,hemalize them as mongrels and rene
gades. This will inevitably be the case.
Whatever may be their professions, the
loco foco party has in it so many aspi-
rants, tina, its leaders are continually look.
ing round for excuses to check the aspi-
ra,ions of the deserving and TO make room
for the noisy Office seekers OF their party,
and should the "possums" be ever so
much use to them, after they have accom-
plished their inject. the leaders will make
the fact Of their having been "possums"
a pre,ext for denourcing them and ex.

independent men Of Lee County know in
whom they can place confidence. They

with the Van Buren, Independents, when,

they could be of very liule service to
