New York Elections.

can be until the official canvass in New York city is
known that the democratic party have elected six OF the
candidates on their State ticket, and the other two are
carried by the wings with about the following MAORI
ties:
For Randall, dem. Secretary Of State, about 1850
For McAlpine, dem. State Engineer, 2,4O0
For Storms, dem. State Prison Inspector, $500
For Johnson, dem. Judge of Appeals, $500
For Wright, dem. Comptroller, SID
For Chatfald, dem. Attorney General, 264
For Fitzhugh, wing Canal Commissioner, 700
For Cook, wing Treasurer, Il6
These figures may be varied slightly by the official
return from New York, and by the decision in the case
Of Green county, where there is stated to be some little
iIregularity but the result will not in all probability be
changed as regards the candidates elected.
Taking into view the array of influences and appli-
ances against which the democracy had to contend, the
victory though not complete is a glorious one, and one
cheering to the party IN the State and Union, and
shows conclusively that upon the true party issues, the

Auditor Ellis Again..
We cut the following from the last number Of the In
diana Statesman
NOT A FREE SOILER,
Auditor Ellis Aga

n gentleman writing 10 us from a distant county saws
he finds the impression abroad that the editor of the
Statesman is a Free Soiler. And why shouldn't he find
such an impression, when the State Sentinel and a few
kindred prints-to the honor of the Press a perg fer-
have day after filled their columns with the ~falsehoodl
They know it to be false-without a shadow Of fuunda-
ton. We opposed as strenuously as any other man the
Free Soil organization from its commencement, in every
shape and form, as the columns of the Goshen Democrat
in the compaign of 184S will bear US witness. We used
all the arguments we could command against the Free
Soil movement in our columns and on the stump, and
that too when some who are now bawling "Free Soilsr"
could hardly be kept from voting for Mr.. Van Buren,.
the Buffalo P~latform-and never voted for a Wing when
there was a Democrat who could be voted for. And
when VIM. j. Brown charges US with being a Free Soil
er, he knows that he is uttering a falsehood.
If Mr.. Brown believed us TO be a Free Soiler why did
he urge us TO be a candidate for Auditor of State7 Why
did he send bushels of documents to our address in the
campaign OF '4Sl And why did he rrite this letter on
the commencement Of the State Sentinel here7 Did he
want the columns Of his paper contaminated with the eff.
fusions of a Free Soiler?
