There are generally two sides to every question and
the result Of Tuesdays election in New York shows that
even fanatcism can be arrested in its progress unit
ed onset at the last hour We not disposed i-
tate the expedient in the whig press Of
claiming every democratic victory endorsement Of

cracy in the October elections would have existed had
The period moreover had for the success those
influences which, about every ten years. conrivs

the democratic party. An individual always hesates
before changing his opinions admitting his errors but
1t is Characteristic OF free people that they ever
ready to undo asty verdict against great principle or
great man. The Nav York election is an evidence of re-
trocd the result that State the most gratifying feature
to the mind Of the patriot h that in Of the strong
great vote If it has not been completely triumphant
So too it wholesome spectacle see how eectualy
the movements Of certain little demagosues have been
cleckmaed and crushed. The vote for Judge Bronson
places him below all the other candidates and signal
viupeTaiions those who assumed lead his coIorsl
the late campaign To these every other csnsidera
President Pierce Tie vocabulary Of Biilingssate was
exhausted for cpthcts against him. and claiming
to be gentlemen did not hesitate to use the vcst terms
Of reproach against the chief magistrate OF the repub
lie. Professing . superior kind of democracy to all
others, and assafng the most eminent champions
in the crusade against the President these men did
not hesitate themselves to vote for and to combine
ples in the state. Confident in the success of this
system or defamation and hypocrisy because they had
polled respectable vote year ago. and believing
simply because General Pierce had appointed another
person to Office in his place, they looked forward to
different result from that which greets their eyes,
But there is another view of this part Of the subject
The Washington Union has for months contended, in
the teeth Of the bteres denuncatons or the Albany
Argus and few kindred prints, that these corrupt
leaders could not keep the party Of New York
from coming together and that the nauseous abuse Of
honest and straightforward executive like Franklin
Pierce would not could not excite any other
tions In the minds OF intelligent democrats but infinite
and incfiable disgust and indignation.
We told them, too, in these columns, that the demo-
cracy Of the other States in the Union regarded hs men
guilty Of this systematic etrscon Of the American exc
always entertained for noisy and reckless calumna
tors; and we sad, furthernore, that the democratic
pathze with the prevailing sentiment Of the democracy
Of the country. The sequel proves that right.
Thus has the widest and most unscrupuous warfare
upon an honest public been rebuked and defeated
by popular decree such ms the country has not wit
But this subject suggests other views which will be
treated OF on another occasion.
From the Albany Argus, Nov. 1o.l
We yet without sufficiently full and reliable re-
turns determine the result Of the gubernatoral
The counties not included in whole or in part, win
materially change the footings-to what extent and in
whose favor may be inferred from the Of par
italy ascertainsd results In those counties.
New York and 0tsego, and part Of Herhimer are To-
cAlites from which Scymours column will receive large
accessions-but from no other county can he expect
much Tie statements Of tho vote Of Now York con-
Trajectory and unreliable, aud omit them. From Ot
sego we have nothing but reports and sstimates-from
Herkimer the vote Of only few towns.
add materially to carss column are probably Clinton,
Cortland Delaware Essex, Franklin Fulton Montgomery
Saratoga Schenectady rompkins, Washington In part,
Ihe counties which reports warrant the belief will
come in largely for Ullman, Aegnny Cattaraugus,
part perhaps Rockand Seneca, Sullivan and Toga. OF
these Aegany Is reported at for him, Chautauque,
at 400, Livingston at 500, &C.
In view Of these things and with the results far
ascerained before them, readers VIII perceive that
the result for Governor s as much in doubt a. before the
election.
