THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The Wings have elected their Secretary of
State, Comptroller, State Treasurer, Attorney
General Canal Commissioner, Inspector of
State Prisons. Engineer and Surveyor, and
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, while the Dem
ocrats have elected their Judges of that Court
both sections Of the party having voted for the
same men.
In the Legislature, the Wings will have an
immense majority, which is estimated as high
even as three fourths Of the whole number of
members. The Senate is elected for two years,
and, with the House Of Representatives to be
elected next year, will have TO choose a United
States Senator
The Senate consists of thirty-two members
of which the Wings have elected twenty-four,
and all other parties eight. The House of As
sembly contains one hundred and twenty eight
members SO far as heard from, the Wings
have elected sixty-two and the other parties
nineteen.
In the city of New York, a ma jority of Wings
and Reformers are elected to the City Councils
the whole of the old members being defeated
This result of course, is to be attributed not
to the strength of the Wing Party, but to the
divisions of it's opponents. The Tribune says,
that out of the 100000 Wing electors of the
State not more than 1900 have voted the
Wing ticket-that the Silver Grays were eve
rywhere in open revolt, or secretly leagued with
the Hards-that their organs in Utica and Sy-
racuse were openly sold out during the canvas,
became Hard" and will so continue-and
that at Canandaigua and Rochester they got
up boiling tickets, and traded off the regular
| Wing State ticket for Hard and Soft votes for
their boiling Congressman and Senators.
1t is stated that majority of the Assembly
will be favorable to the passage of the Maine
Law; and the New York Herald, which seems
to be becoming moral as we'll as piOus, hopes
such law may be passed, and have fair
trial, for there is too much drunkenness--nO
mistake.
1t would also seem that the Reformers have
obtained majority in the city councils The
Hard" vote throughout the State is unexpect-
eddy large; the Tribune sets it down at so, 900
This fact, as well as the defeat of the Demo
cratic party, and the demonstration that Gen
Pierce is left in very meager minority in the
great State of New York will be extremely
notifying to the Administration, and mus
impair its general strength.
Mr.. Seward and his friends are again il
power. The division in the Democratic party
is, We doubt not, permanent; the experiment
Of a reunion will scarcely be attempted again
OF course, all the State patronage is lost to thu
Democracy, so that there mast be great fall
ing off among the hangers-on for the spoils.
OF the ultimate effects Of this remarkable
political event, we may have more to say a
another time.
