THE New YORK ELECTION AND ITS DEF.
INrTIoNs.-The Express gives some of the
definitions of the late anamalous State elec.
tons in New York, as follows:
"The first definition is, that the old way OF
packing Wing Conventions, State and local
is upset, and won't work any longer, no mat
ter how many State Conventions are got up'
packed and brought along, one after an
other"
The second definition is, that the Silver
Greys," SO called, are omebodies--sOmcwhe
knowing something-and hve votes worth
having on days of election, atlrast.
The third definition is, thai the old Wing
Albany Regency is routed, put to fiight,horse
foot, and Dragons, and that il cannot rally
again for some time.
The fourth definition is, that n majority of
the people in this State, think it to be one of
the "Rights of Man." it may be wrongfully,
perhaps, both to eat and to drink.
The fifth definition is, that the New York
people, though indignant, because of the rec
peal of the Missouri Compromise, are not
gning to create n hothern Sectional Aboli-
lion party, therefore, in order to run Mr.Sew
ard for the Presidency, MS the Northern cam
ddaie, only in the Northern States Of the
Union.
We 'nnot yet exactly say-who is Gov
ornur-but the absence of this fact does
not impair the importance of these defini.
tions.
In another article the same paper says:
awe know not what may be in store for
the political future, but this election and past
experience clearly demonstrate the TRUTH that
no party can long prosper in NewYork unless
it be conservative in principle, and national in
character"

There are some curious statements
made in relation to the New York elections.
The Express says
"Fhe Bronson people have swollen Ull-

tiun at Seymour. Party men. singular la

nary voting"
The Albany Argus also says:
"More than half the whig vote of this city
went over to Seymour on the liquor issue,
whilst nearly the entire Democratic vote, we
are Obliged to state, was thrown for Ullman,
a small portion only going for Seymour on
the liquor question.
"One Of the most remarkable Incidents Of
the day was the large number oi German
v"tcs pulled for Ulman. In every district in

wA letter from San Francisco, in the
New York Express, dated 3Oth September.
says:
The enormous wheat crop of California
this year has proved runous to farmers; wheat
in market oday not producing two cents per
pound; and there being sufficient raised this
year to supply the country for two years at
least; in addition we shall have 10 shoulder n
large proportion of the wheat crop of Chill,
together with the usual quantity from Attain
lie States. This would be the greatest grain
growing country in the world had we any
place to export our products, but what we
raise is raised MS well by all countries on the
Pacific, and the enormous rates of wages
compared with any other country, leaves the
California producer, or will leave him, at least
this year, ruined man.

THE SIN OF TIGHT LACING.

Corsets are beginning to make direful
show in the millinery windows. Small waists
are exhibited in the streets BY pale, cadaver-
GUS, graveyard looking darlings, as if the
contraction OF the vital portions of the body
indicated sense or Patrician origin. For sew
eral wears past the use of corsets has been re-
pudiate6, much, indeed, to the benefit, both
moral and physical, of the female population.
1t is to be regretted that the Stiffness of fash
ion is now to step in, and make our mothers
and future mothers the delight of doctors and
undertakers. Is the figure improved by be-
ing pinehed in at the waist! Does any one
believe that such distortion of the frame will
increase the matrimonial attractions! No one
but stupid ignoramus would admire such
dishgnrement--a kind of vapid puppy, not fit
to be trusted alone IN the streets No later
than yesterday we saw a sensible-looking fe-
male clerk pinched up in corsets to such an
extent that she could not utter n sentence of
ten words without painful exertion. Her
lungs must have been damaged beyond cure
if she remained in that harness six hours
Young woman if you desire health, respecta-
bility, and declining years that will not make
you nuisance, forswear corsets. If you
wish to keep your clear complexion, or to OBJ
tain one-if you are careful about breath
that shall not be offensive, abandon corsets.
If you would not be acquainted with the
most fatal disease, such as make death wei
come instead of terrible, never girdle your
self with corsets. 1t is nobody's business,
you may say, but your own There's the
mistake. 1t is evcrybody's business to pre-.
vent the deterioration of the human race, and
corsets are famous in that work. Avoid the
corseted feminine, gentle wife seeker, as you
would pestience. Make yourself agree
able to stout waists and faces that look rs if
they were not galvanized into existence.
