SENATOR HANNEGAN-A Fght.--We re-
greet to notice during the last week, at
Charlottesville, Indiana, quarrel took
place between Senator flanagan and a
MIR. Z. Mcdonald, which had its origin a
year past in what is said to have been a
mob, in which flanagan was party, and
when Mcdonald says he got knocked into
the canal, through the Senator's instru.
mentality. Med. has ever since threatened
vengeance, whenever he should meet the
Senator, and this was the first time the
parties met. The Senator was attacked
by cDonald-knocked down and tram
pied under foot, and his face horribly LAGER
ated. After the Senator was released, he
returned with q gun, for vengeance on
Mcdonald, but he had escaped. Such
scenes are much to be regretted.--Cin. Gan.

NEW YORK ELECTION.

The Wings have routed the Locofocos
in New York, in every direction. The
value of the victory can best be determined
by the following summary Of the result
which is taken from the New York Elk.
press:
The Senate consists Of 80 members, al
of whom, by the new constitution, are
elected this year by single districts, for 9
term of two years. We are satisfied that
the Wings have elected at least "a of the
Senators, and perhaps 25--lhus giving a
majority of l6 or Is in this important
body, who are to vote, in ls49, for Uni.
ted States Senator, in place Of John A.
Dix, Locofoco, whose term expires in
March, lS49.
The Assembly, elected for one year by
single districts, consists of 1913 members,
of whom the Wings must have elected at
least two-,hirds. and perhaps more.
Thus, the Wings, after the first of Janu-
airy ensuing. and for the first time since
1871, will have control of all the branches
of the State government, except the Judi.
ciary, viz: Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
canal commissioners, and State officers,
with majority Of the Senate and Assem-.

The majority for the Wings in the State
is TWENTY THOUSAND, on the Lieutenant
Governor and other State officers. In the
city, the Wings elected the four Senators
and eleven Delegates, and the Locofocos
five Delegates. The aggregate majority
for the Wings in the city, was 1856.

Of Ohio.

The Auditor Of State has favored us
with Statement of the current Reven-
ues of the State. This statement exhib.
its the finances of the State in a light
which all good citizens may contemplate
with pleasure. 1t contrast beautifully
with tine other system which obtained un-
der other auspices, when the financial a.
gents ofthe State were continually resort
ing to loans to pay the interest on debts
already incurred. The people of the
State will be gratiied to know, that now
there is no increase of the public debt;
but that, on the contrary, after providing
for paying the interest on the public debt
and for all the ordinary demands upon
the State Treasury, there will still be a
surplus Of some fifty thousand dollars
from the Revenues of the current year,
applicable to the payment of the princi-
pal of the public debt. So that the State
has but to persevere in the course which
has been commenced under Wing au-
spices, and there will be a grad al dimin-
ution of taxes, until in a few years they
will cease to be a burthen.
But ifthe people desire the reverse of
this, they have but to embrace the oppor-
tunity which will be presented in a few
weeks. Let them choose Locofoco poll
%ticians TO legislate for them, and they will
be gratifed in their desire for change, to
the ultimate limit of their curiosity
There will be a war upon the currency
a war upon the revenue-a war upon the
credit--a war upon the character-and a
war upon the prosperity of the State
This might possibly result in advantage
to those who have moMimg to lose, and
whose condition might be bettered by ann
change. Some few others-very few, as
compared with the mass-may promise
themselves advantages, in the shape of
salaries, jobs and contracts. But it should
be borne in mind that while these advan.
tages inure to a few. they are paid for
out of the common fund, to which every
taxpayer is tributary.
With the history of L~ocofocoism in
Ohio for the last two years in full view,
and that too, in contrast with what has
been effected by the, Wings in two years
to repair the mischiefs of the preceding
eight--it cannot be possible that an in.
telligent people will hesitate (Which of
the twot TO choose,"--O S. Journal.

Consistency.

Every n knows what fair promises
the Senior made when he first came a.

teods and refined, how candid and consid.
crate, how free from slang and abuse, he
represented himself to be-. He would
never "soil his clean fair hands, with par
tizan scurrility.' Now listen to what he
says of a minister, who has dared to
preach in favor Of peace:

orn congre cations and people may do with hin
as they like, and shame on them, if Msy tolerat,
a public enemy Of their country, while there are
patriots to DO found in all sections
BY patriot" he means a man, who vii
assume the holy calling; preach in favoI
of war, especiallyth Mexican war; pray
to God that we may be permitted tc

What viii BccOmc Of Thcm.

In Richland, Wyandotte, Hancock,
Seneca, Brown and a host of other coun-
ties, the Locofocos are among the larg-
est stockholders in Banks. They stood
aloof, when Bartley'S bill was presented
to them, because they knew it to be a
humbug; but now they are willing to IN
gage in an enterprise, which offers fair
inducements to Capitalists aud safety to
bill holders. The fact is, with the mass
ofthe party, an exclusive hard-money

idea" 1t is only the leaders and Candi.
dates for the Legislature, who croak
hard money--they do it, because they
have nothing else TO talk about and know
that the people no longer listen to them.
This places them in a situation some what
similar to a Candidate of their party who
is not known-they are popular because
their party considers them of no account,
aud tired Of party excitement, the voters
send them TO the Legislature, knowing
that they arc capable of doing neither
harm nor good-and expecting a sufi.
cient number Of Wings there to keep
things in order.

The Elections.

The late electiollSllav fully demonstrated what
we have frequently asserted The Administration
of JAMES K. Polk is unpopular and not the least
of the causes of its unpopularity is this Mexican
War, which he has, without excuse or s~uficien,
cause, brought upon this country, In this advan,
ced stage of civilization, aggressive wars, wars
OF conquest canuot be nude popular. Victory
may perch upon the standard Of the invading
army hut the good sense of the people viii not
allow them to look with complacemcy upon the
indiscriminate slaughter of millions of human be-
ings & the was;chd extravaganza ofmillions ofmo-
ncy. Peace is their ardent desire; their minds
are not of such a cast that they can dwell, with
ont emotion, upon the horrible evils Of war. And
when to this is added an entire want Of any sufi.
cient cause OF the war, their indignation is excited
against those, who brought it on.
The war is unpopular. Unpopular ut its com
m%encenent, the manner Of conduCting it has rem
dered ii ten-fOld more odious 10 the people. Ant
now its authors and defenders are endeavoring {,
saddle the responsibility Of its continuance upol
the Wings. lit We're popular, they would b,
the last ones TO do this. 1t las been an issue il
the late electiOis--in fact it was made a wumin
ent one, and we can judge Of the feelings of tn,
people by the results. Wherever men came gu
boldly against tic war, the people have honoret
them with their votes and confidence.
The result is-a Wing majority in the mex.
House of Representatives.
The question is frequently asked, what will tn
Wlissdo l They will do what ia right-of tina
we are confident. They will not, as Locofoc,
papers say, have to bear the responsibility of war
but tley will bear the responsibility of peace an,
the people will sustain them. We want no NOR,
territory-it will be- extremely hazardous 10 an
mex il. IL will prove a bono of contenlion-i
may lead to civil strife. The only way to avoid til,
discussion Of the principles Of the "Wilmot Pro
viso' will he 10 give no ground Of debate-tlI,
only way to do this is to avoid the annexation o
more territory. But il we dismembcr the Moxi
can territory and attach a portion oft to our own
the discussion will arise, il will be an angry aut
dangerous one, aud 10 one can safely predict tle
consequences.
IT, then, we cannot, with safety, annex NOR,
territory, fwlat use is the prosecution of Thu
war; We say nothing now Of the right or j%ustic,
of tho qncstion-we merely look at the conse
quenccs 10 ourselves. OF what advantage will
be to us' Can we gain renownl We need none
Can we conquer and hold Mexico as u province
That is impossible and besides it would be of n,
benefit. We can, however, spend more money
