THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The New York " Express remarks that the re-
suit of the elections which have been held in various
States during the present month, notwithstanding
the defeat of the Wing candidates for Governor in
Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, is, upon the
whole, gratifying and encouraging to the Wings, in
all the substantial elements of power, in the States
where elections have taken place.
To sum up the results of the various contests, we
may first mention that MARYLAND gives us four
Wing members of Congress out of six members
elected, clear gain of two, and ensuring Wing
majority in the House of Representatives in the next
Congress; besides increasing the Wing majority in
the Legislature and rendering certain the election
Of Wing to the United States Senate for six years,
from March 18th, lS49.
GEORGIA, instead of Legislature divided against
itself, as the last was, with Locofoco Senate and
a Wing House, now elects a Wing majority in
each branch thus ensuring the election of two
Wing Senator's to the Senate of the United States
for the term of six years respectively, from March
4th, 1S47 and lS49.
In PENNSYLVANIA the Wings retain their majority
in the Senate, and the House will probably contain
sufficient number Of Conservatives to act with the
Wings on many important questions.
ONO, which last year had Senate at first tied,
and afterwards Locofoco by absenteeism or va
cancy, rs now Wing by majority in both branches
Oh the Legislature. ms election is Important as
new apportionment for representation in the Legs-
lature for the next ten years is to be made by the
Legislature now elected.
FLORIDA, for the first time since her admission
into the Union, has elected majority of Wings 10 the
Legislature, and the large Wing majority elected to
the Senate renders probable the election of Wing
United States Senator by the Legislature next year.
Thus in four of the five States in which elections
have been held this month, has tie National Ad-
been condemned by the people, in the
election of Legislatures a majority of whom are
WHIGs, and whose influence, besides the bearing
they must have on the Senate of the United States,
cannot fail to facilitate the future success of the
Wing cause in the coming elections.

TRUE AMERICANISM.

We have never happened to meet with any ex-
preston of opinion by public assembly more dis
tnctly exhibiting at the intelligence, the spirit
and the port of Freemen, than the following Reso-
lutions, unanimously adopted at The Wing Conven-
ton lately held in the State of New Hampshire
Resolved That citizens free country, claim and
shall exercise the right all times, candid but fearless
manner of expressing opinions of the whether of
the State National Administrations and whether those
relate peace and that regard attempt the
President of the United his Message brand as
traitors all those citizens of the Republic who do not yield
blind obedience his will and approve his conduct in the
unconstitutional of the present with Mexi-
co. insult freemen and fit only to emanate from one
who rules slaves.
ReSored, That War is be avoided all times great
calamity especially by this country, congena the
spirit of our institutions the feelings that should animate
US IN our intercourse with the nations of the earth but that
we regard the present with Mexico douhy hateful in
asmuch it unconsuionay commenced by the act Of
the President in disregard Of the rights of Congress- and as
is waged for the dsmemberment Of sister Republic upon
preexs that FALSE and for purpose that abhorrent TO
oil feelings of humanity and justice and that although we
award to the officers and engaged in that war all the
praise that due to SKILL energy and courage yet regard
the glory acquired by an inadequate compensa
ton for the blood that has she'd that has
wasted and the indee stain that has been upon
national character prosecution Of conquest and
ambition, the first hope may be the last in the his
tory Of the Republic.
Resosed, therefore, That it the duty of the Wings of
the country by all exerons in their power extricae the
country from the condition into which it has been plunged
by the madness Of its rulers, and procure peace with
Mexico it be done consistently with the true
honor and dignity Of the American NAME and by the ermi-

THE RESULT IN oHIo-THE EFFECT.

Il is an indisputabe fact that the late political
battle IN this State was fought on the ,odr questions
Every where, IN every county, these questions
were made the chief topics OF discussion, the Lo-
cos sustaining the war and the Wings denouncing
its origin and objects. And the specific issues
made by the Locos against the Wings were drawn
from the expressed opinions and the official votes
OF Mr.. CoRwN in the Senate. Every where Mr.,
CoRwIN was the special object of attack and vitl-
peraton. Tom Coroia, the traitor-Iom Cor
,cia, the Mexican Whig-Tom Cor,oin, the every
thing napatriofic, riie, and e9ecrabie, were the
choice denunclahons by which the Locos indicated
The issues between the parties, and on which they
asked an expression OF the popular judgment at
the ballot boxes. The banking system and the tax
law were occasionally referred to favorably by the
Wings and uniavorably by the Locos butthe war
questions, like the rod Of Aaron, swallowed up all
the residue.
Well, In answer to their invocation, the people
have accommodated the Locolocos with an express
sion OF their Judgment on the war questions, and
hare emphaticaliy condemned the aoar its objects
and authors, and as triunlphantty sustained Tom
Coracin, The patriot-Iona Cor,oia, the american
Uhig-Iom Coricin, The uirfuous and heroic
Senator and Statesman.
And now, If the professions of Democracy put
forth by the Locofoco party be sincere, let them
recognise and obey the decision Of the people ; let
them cease their unjust abuse and their indecent
vlllhcation of Mr.. CoRwIN, a man they know to
be as pure and viruous, and patriotic any states
man of the nation.
Had the result Of the election been determined
the other way there is not the smallest doubt that
it would have been proclaimed throughout the land
as popular condemnation of Mr.. CoRwIN, and
the resignation of his seat in the Senate demanded.
Instructions commanding him to change his course
in the Senate would in such case be pushed through
the Legislature, and obedience thereto required.

THE ADMINISTRATION & THE DEMOCRACY

We find in so leading paper as the New York
Evening Post an article from central paper of the
same politics (the Albany Atlas) denouncing, with
calmness but with fixed determination, the at
tempts Of the Administration in this city TO dragoon
the party into its projects for overrunning and sub
jugahng all Mexico, if its demands for the surrender
of Mexican territory be not complied with. AS a
sample of this article, we copy few lines from
the concluding paragraph, follows. Mark its
grave import
We say TO Mr.. Richie and those who concur
with him, GO YOUR WAYS Y GU were warned in
time against the agations and the dstracting issues
that your course in relation TO the annexation of
: Texas would produce. You were implored to
: take Teas UithoW car; you chose TO TAKE 1T
WITH WAR; and if now, at this day, you expect
: the Democracy of the North to bear the respon-
sibility of your measures, they must at least be
permitted to protest." &C..
