New Work Elections.

We find the returns of the elections
in the city of New York, in the Globe,
the first that has taken place under the
new Constitution, and the result is, the
election of the whole democratic ticket
by an overwhelming majority. The
result Of this election holds good the
long established fact, that when the in-
lerests Of the people are at stake, they
repose confidence in the democracy and
democratic principles. A clean sweer
has been made of anti war whiggery
and never again will il br enabled to raise
its dropping and diminished head in New
York. Every regularly nominated de

from The Judge of the Court of Appeals

could not have been a more beautiful
