ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS OF THE CAUSE.

ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS OF THE CAUSE.
In remark made on the day after the New York
elections we anticipated many excuses and explana-
tions to the manner in which one candidate sue
ceeded and another failed Nobody could have
been very sanguine the subject if the judgment
was formed from any existing state of facts yet
every one whose duty it is to cater for the public
seems now to have foreseen all that happened. We
copy few of the speculations ON results
FROM THE ALBANY ARGUS.
The REsULT-We were not unprepared, before the
polls closed yesterday in this city, for some strange
suit here, If not throughout the State
Those who were about the city could not fail to have
observed that party differences and preferences
rey obliterated and swallowed up in the intense desire
on the part OF the Democrats to defeat Seymour the pet
OF the Administration and the part of the Wings to
elect him, the champion Of the liquor interest and to
defeat their own Maine Law candidate.
But we confess, though prepared, thought, for
any thing within the range Of the extraordinares our
amusement to fnd when the ballots were counted how
controlling and absorbing was this feeling the one side
and the other.
More than oneha the whg vote Of the city went over
to Seymour on the liquor ISSUE whilst nearly the entire
Democratic vote obliged to state thrown for
ulmann small portion only going for Seymour on the
LIQUOR question.
One Of the remarkable incidents of the day was
the large number Of German votes poed for Ullmann
In every district in the city Irish adopted citizens did the
same thing to the utter astonishment Of all beholders
The umann vote in this city is not more than three
fourths naveborn 1t is clear that the Wings made
thing by representing Ullmnnn as a foreigner.
The scattering returns received last night and this
morning indicate equally strange results in the State
FROM THE ALBANY STATE REGISTER.
The REsULTWe confess that we have been altogether
deceived in the results Of the election We supposed that
the contest would be between Mr. CLARK and Governor
Va nht hath
poll respectable vote, stood possible chance Of an
election. But we have ascertaned great fact-that
these are times which battle all calculations founded upon
the observation and experience Of the past at all events
they have completely bafied ours The people are up
and around They have discarded all old party ties, and
we are glad of it. They have acted independently free
men should, and we are glad Of it. We in the pro-
gress Of events that the good time has when in
vidual men every where will and think for themselves
The result, whoever may be elected will be productive
Of great good 1t will to demonstrate the fact that

Governor thing is entirely certain that old cohe
sons broken up The power that has heretofore
roled the State and portioned the governmental pa
tronage is utterly broken The great central power is
dissolved The sceptre has departed from Judah For
this which is sequence Of the present canvass
there is great for congratuaion whoever shall be
FROM THE TIMES.
The general result is that the Know Nothings have
serVeu the wings they served the
Democrats in Ohio and Pennsylvania. They have very
great strength and have without reference to Ma
onal State issues but with exclusive regard their
own position as an independent party In other States
their principal assaants have been Democrats and they
have occupied position Of hostility the Democratic
party In this State the leading Wing papers have been
against them and their direct attack has been upon
Wings Their nomination of Wing as an independent
candidate was sufficient indication of their intention to
effect the defeat of that party.
FROM THE NEW YORK COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
We confess, with respect to the State ticket we
not greatly surprised We have felt ever since the
fortunate Saratoga letter of the Whg candidates. that
not only had they lost the cordial sympathy Of the
stantia reliable portion of the Wing party, but had
cited fears and apprehensons Of utrasm that would turn
many Wing votes into other channels Some of this mis-
chief might have been prevented had the candidates lis
tened to the counsel from some whose devotion to the
Wing party admitted of no doubtwho had forgot
ten their party allegiance in the pursuit and advocacy of
utraiemsand retracted step which they, Whig
| didates, had no right to take.
We trust that this defeat will not be without its to
the party 1t is plain that even with the aid of so
good cause as that Of temperance and strong
as that awakened by the repeal Of the Missouri
men of sms and sectonates cannot secure
the public confidence The country is national and so
must the Wing party be; and it is at heart, from
the very nature of its principles it must be- abo
tionism any thing like is to be introduced into
State elections let not the Whg party the Wing cand
date be burdened and crushed OUT by helping to
the weight of its obnoxousness Let be what the
greatest Of party were-ibera national poll
ticians.
We do not think Mr.. Ulmann would have commanded
any thing like his present vote with the powerful
aid Of the Know Nothings had not the Wings great
extent been alarmed at the seeming tendencies Of the
gular Wing candidates He being known conserva
tive Whg of that party felt less reluctant vote
for him. That he has received large Wing vote is
denable.
FROM THE NEW EXPRESS.
The NEBRASKA BUsINEss.-The election we have been
having amid its curious and extraordinary results nd
Gates thing clearly which is that the State Of New
York, shown in its members Of Congress elect disap
proves of and condemns the action Of the present Con-
gress in repeating the Missouri compromise Of 1920 and
all the influences excited to pass that obnoxious and
popular act We believe that there is mistake about
this fact and that it is in which oil will But
