Few words Sulnce W tci d"
s,orv The Official Returns from nearly
every County in the State leave no oouo' u
.ho defeat of our entire State Ticket by
maiorities ranging from three or four nun
dred I'D to two or three thousand. Lt' UoV.
Patterson, who was the especial target OF
Cotton mahgnity, and was thus beaten hor-
ribly in our City, will probably have the
largest vote of any Wing candidate, and
come very near an election. If the vote OF
this City could be fairly scrutinized, and so
much of it as is outrageously illegal and
fraudulent thrown out, he would be elected,
with perhap. Messrs. FIrzHUGH and Cook.
The return from the Twelfth Ward, for ex-
ample, is shamefully corrupt and fraudu-
lent. From morning till night, the polls In
that Ward were surrounded by formidable
gangs of bruisers and demi-savages, Who
BY terror and violence, prevented the poll
ing of votes for the Wing Ticket. The
Wing boxes were broken up, the Wing
electioneerers driven from the ground by
these Infatuated, rum-soaked wretches, not
half of whom were voters, but all OF whom
could handle clubs, and did it without scru-
pie. By this banditti, Wing voters were
kept away, and scores who presented them
selves to vote were prevented from doing
so, while men who knew they were not
voters were crowding the polls, voting it
not challenged and consuming the time If
they were, so as to keep out the legal voters
We had more Wing votes turned away
from the polls in this City alone, by reason
of delays and distractions, than would have
elected half our State Ticket.
The defeat of Mr.. ULLMANN amazes us
! We did not believe Levi S. Chatfeld could
be reelected to the post he has discredlted,
over a good lawyer and reputable citizen.
But Mr.. Ullmann is National Wing, and
the recognized organs of that side OF the
party are the Albany State Register, the
Nec- York Express, &c. These have
kent up a most ferocious warfare on the
Anti Renters, and on Mr.. Chatfeld as iden-
tilted with their views, which has thrown a
very heavy Anti-Rent vote in Delaware,
Sullivan Schoharie, &c. for Chatfeld, by
which Mr.. Ullmann is beaten. This might
and should have been otherwise.
The Senate is tied, but our opponents
have the Lieutenant Governor, and so a
practical majority. But for the defeat of
Messrs. Fiske and Woodruff by the Silver
Grays of Kings and Monroe, we should
have had Is to IA. The Wing party is
strong in our State, but not strong enough
to heat the Opposition and the special
friends of the Administration combined.
The Assembly is probably Wing by one
majority, if we are correctly informed by
Tire Erenine Journal that Wayne and Nj
agara have each elected two Wings, while
Seneca is against us. We do not consider
that any valid election has taken place in
our District composed of the Xllth aad
XIXth Wards, though Col. Monroe may be
returned, and undoubtedly would have been
chosen had fair election been held. We
aIe assured that the returns of the XlNth
Ward are vtiated by gross and manifest
irregularities in one District, which returns
one hundred more votes than are cast for
all who voted there. But, whatever may
be the disposition Of these returns, the
Wings have lost the Canal Board, and thus
virtually the State. Gentlemen Silver
Grays are you satisfied9
p S.-Since the above was written, fur
Their returns and Telegraphic dispatches
giving us the reported Official malorities in
every County of our State, this one ex-
copied, make an unexpected change in our
favor, and seem to elect Messrs. Cook and
| FIrzHuGH. We have more faith, however,
in our bad luck than in cur own corrections
and additions, and so apprehend that our
ticket will all come up beaten in the end
At all events, the Canal Board is gone, and
the Legislature appears to be tied in both
branches, for the statement that two Wings
were chosen in Niagara proves erroneous.
