Philadelphia Election.

=
suit of the election III that city, remarks:
" The American party, which has had the con-
troll Of the city for the last two years. since con
solidation, managed to involve the ,citys finances
so badly, that the citizens, without distinction Of
party, seem to have determined to try what q
change would do in tightening the burden of taxa
ton, and restoring the good credit of the city
The vote Of yesterday is one Of the most decided
expressions Of public opinion in favor of managing
the city affairs with economy, and with something
like return to strict business principles. The
usual party lines were held very loosely, and the
victory won by the Democrats is by no means to be
regarded as an endorsement of all the political
views of that party"
The North American, one of the standard pa
pers of the city, and closely welded to the Repub-
lican party, advocated the Democratic ticket on
the morning Of the election, and thus notices the
result: 81 = ~
h, In the result the popular desire for retrench-
ment and reform has been most emphatically de-
monstrated. 0rOwn tired of trusting those who
have proved fithIess, the people threw themselves
into the opposite scale 1t is lesson which all
professional politicians would do well to heed
The returns indicate uneqnivocally the success OF
the entire Democratic city ticket, and the choice
of large Democratic majority in the City Coun-
ellis. As this result has, been mainly brought
about by the agency of Wing votes, which, for
local reasons, were cast in vor of the successful
candidates, IL cannot be regarded as a party tri-

result, no man of any party, we presume, doubts
that Fillmore and Donelson will carry Philadelphia
in November by an overwhelming majority. They,
at any rate, have been guilty Of no financial folly,
