tons Of nearly all II was an interview,
pleasant as il was brief.

The NEW YORK ELECTION.

At the time we write this, we have not
the particulars Of the political battle for mu-
nicipal officers in New York and Brooklyn,
on Tuesday last; but enough is known to
enable us to announce the gratifying intellI-
cence, that the united forces Of the coalition
between the ocolocos and abolitionsts have
been met and overthrown, by the party Of
the Administration.
The Wings have elected the Mayors Of
New York and Brooklyn, their whole judi
ciary ticket--if we understand our telegraph
ic despatch---and a large majority Of the city
councils. Up to three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, the vote for the charter had not
been counted, but il was believed TO have
been adopted by decided majority. So
much for Buckingham
. We are now prepared to hear the locoioco
presses swearing by their boards, that there
was no coalition between them and the abo-
litionists in order to elect Van Setback, and
that the protest Of the ocoiocos-a few GUS
tom-house officers-aganst such coalition,
is proof Of its non-existence. And we are
prepared, too, to witness the Virginia papers
quoting that protest in evidence against the
existence Of the coalition which the Connec-
ticut election developed But such tactics
shall not serve our opponents. The coali-
ton in New York was complete. The pro-
test was merely thrown out as weapon, by
which the Virginia locofoco press might be
able to ward off the consequences Of the
Connecticut movement But Virginians are
not to be deceived in this way. They vii
not fraternize with party that unites it
fortunes with the aboltionists.
The result Of this election is Of great i'm
portance to New York. 1t Gusts the loco
foco party from the Mayoralty, and restores
vigorous government to the city. Than Mr.
