ALBANY, Nov. 3, 1852.
The Etc on-Boh Parties Disappointed The

Tie E6st II the "Ttst'' Question.
A majority Of more than eight hundred in this
city for Pierce and King. and corresponding vote
for the State ticket and local officers, has astonished
the democrats themselves, and dumbfounded the
wings. Both parties greatly disappointed at
the result 1t supposed that this city was fair
debatable ground, and either party would have been
satisfied with nsjority ever 80 small. Last year.
when the democracy carried their Mayor and Re-
cor6er by average Of eight hundred majority, the
wings attributed their defeat to the unpopularity
of their candidates. Now, they have not so plausi
bic an excuse, for they talked loudly and sternly
of the strength of General Scott and Governor
Hunt, and vauntingly boosted of carrying the ele,
ton in their favor. Whatever might have been
the opinion heretofore, and however mush doubt
might have existed it is reduced to certainty
that the gain for the democracy in this city. for
few years past, has been gradually increasing to
such an extent that it has become democratic by
reliable majority. The wings have no excuse to
offer for their defeat for they acted in perfect har
mony, and fought with much zeal aud dstermi-
nation as ever before.
Besides giving the national and State ticket I'M
prece0ented msiorites, the demo ,racy of Albany
have reason to exult in the election of Rufus w.
Peckham, Esq, to the next Congress. With the
exception of Bradford r Wood, Esq, they have
not been represented in the national legis-
lature for near quarter OF century. Mr.. Wood
served term, and the remainder of the time the
wings have occupied the station, and SO iucompe.
tent they, as is also the present member, that
the people of the district not aware of the last
step he has taken for their interest. Schoolcraft
merely acted for Weed and Seward The election Of
Peekbsm will be an advantage to the district. He
is man of the highest legal attainments, and
stands in the front rank of the New FORK bar With
him and your Cutting, the democracy of the En-
pire State will be most ably represented.
This is the first time in twenty years that de-
mocratic Sheriff has succeeded in this county. On
two or three occasions the prize would have been
attained had not the camp contained traitors, who,
on account of personal disappointments proved
cherous 10 the candidates During the last three
or four terms the wings succeeded in caoling the
anti-renters, by whose assistance they uniformly
succeeded On this occasion both parties disre-
garded the "calico gentlemen" and the result has
been the election of John McEwen, the democratic
candidate, by q very large majority. The election
of this officer viii greatly strengthen the party, as
the political influence which be will be able to ex-
ercise is greater than in any other portion of the
State. the city of.New York excepted.
The anti renters, as an organization arc disband-
ed. The rejecting portion arc content with
the recent decisions of Judge Harris in rela-
ton to title, and with that of the Court
of Appeals abolishing the quarter sales That class
OF VOTERS Scnsrally respective pO'
tica ranks, and gave their sutrages to candidates
without any reference to the manor difficulties"
Npe-tenths satisfied that thu excitement has
mostly been kept up political demagogues and do
ceptive lawyers.
The wings are heartily ashamed of Themselves for
throwing rel gious frebrand into the canvass. They
have the folly and injustice of attempting to
array religious denomination against all others
Instead of securing the Catholic Irish vote, they
have driven the few who we're wings directly into
the democratic ranks, for they never voted more
unitedy nor worked at the polls more actively, at
any tina. for any candidate, than they did yester
DAY for Franklin Pierce They resented the asper-
sions sought to be east upon the democratic candi
da.e by giving him their united vote The New
Hampshire test question, raised by the wings to
injure the General, has produced a reaction here,
and undoubtedly throughout the whole nation, by
which he received more than fifty thousand add
tior al votes
The election Of Seymour, Church, and large
majority Of the House Of Assembly, will throw the
entire administration Of the State government in de-
mocrStic hands. They assume power in the midst
of transferable difficulty but from the well known
discretion. capacity and wisdom of the public Off
GERS, II is expected that they will administer the
government as will satisfy majority of the people
