RESULT IN NEW YORK.

Through The quarrels ollhe Democrats, which
broke out afresh on The eve OF the election, The
Democrats, who when united can always sue
ceed have again lost the State. The croWlngs
Of the Wing press over The result are inehaoly
ridiculous. The rampant Baltimore coTrespon-
dent OF the Washington Republic INDUCES in the
following 'EIclcs' vein:
Tine Stale oil New York is, beyond all question,

On The niuluins I'll the election that paper dis,

Here Il ,hay Taylor and "iree soil" are
beautifully suung together and The endorsement
of the one is an approya! oil The other. When
