The election in New York is over, and the result
That result is unfavorable to the Dem
ocratic party and will Of COURSE be hailed as hi
umph of their opponents. It might perhaps, afford
some amusement if nothing more, to look at the cir
cumstances which have contributed to bring about
this result and the agency which was employed It
cannot be denied that dissentions existed in the boz
Of the Democratic party, and that reckless and
ambitious men, finding that they could not any long
err possess the influence to which they aspred endea
vored to SOW dissensions, and open anew wound
which had been healed. But even this would have
failed had not the Wing party brought to their aid
all the negro voters in the city of New York and the
majority of them throughout the State. Previous to
the election large and fashionable meeting Of the
elite of niggerdom embracing all the talent Of the
upper classes of colored society, was held TNAnis
Hall and did then and there denounce the Democrat
ic party and resolve to support the Wing ticket 1t
will be seen from the following editorial of the New
York Herald written before the election, that the
suit which has happened was foreseen and its causes
perfectly understood. Of course our Wing friends
are proud of their natural alliesthe free negroes
aforesaid AS for the negro ticket for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, we have not yet aseertained
how far it will meet the approval Of the white portion
of the party: "

and original features calculated to pu
zle the philosopher and make the good natured laugh
clement peculiar character is about to be introdu
into one which has sprung in the centre of the
city, and the connected with which will be
found reported at length columns to-day For the first
time in any AngloSaxon community, the negro descendants
the African slaves of former have come together
public meeting declaring their political rights and assumed
position which, in the approaching struggle, will decide the
contest in favor of the party whose side they take We refer
readers the full report of those proceedings which took
place highly respectable negro meetng composed OF the
negro elite of the city from all tho oyster cellars aud Other
places about town, and held at Putnam Hail. At this meet

This new and wonderful element will probably decide the
approaching election favor of the wings As the contes
now stands it is very certain that both parties will be very
nearly balanced in this city and such the in the city
similar result may take place throughout the State Thu
exercise therefore, of the negro right of suffrage comprising
probably thousand votes in the city, and many in thu
State may determine the political complexion of the State
New York favor of the whgs for the next and
entire defeat of the democracy The position
assumed by the African negro race, will give them grea
power hereafter and probably of the factions of tn
day. which receive their aid may think necessary brn
them into public Office and administer little of the spos
allies. In this movement the wings have certainly
shown consummate Skill in managing their affairs
bring new fresh corps of voters in favor of their sid
of the question. .-
This phase of socialism, which will yet attract
common attention and elsewhere throughout
republic is almost equal in rich humor and broad farce
to the recent astonishing revolution in ST. Domingo by wh
wonderful republic suddenly transformed
empire, and the late President Sououque jumped into tn
breeches of Faustin l., the Emperor of Hayti % Wha
