We notice in several Democratic journals lamen
tstoEs over The disastrous defeat gst enc Duute-sd
BY their party in this City. We beg leave to assure
them that this il cheer nonsense Fernando Wood
has been defeated here but the Democratic party
has not been. Tia. party had & small majority
here over all opponents az the last Piesideotisl
Election, and il has jus. about the same majority
now Mr.. Buchanan had some Five Thousand
more votes here than Fremont and Fillmore ueted.
and his party ba, just polled nearly as many, as We
presume the vote for Supervisors Aldermen, &C.,
will show. II the Mayor just ou,ted was Buchanan
man aud Dem Graz SO is the Mayor just elected
Every voter for and against him voted with fell
kuoHkdge of this fact The National Adniristra-
ton hes far more reliable support here thsa in
any of the rura! districts of our State. There,
Nr. Buchanan may destroy bis party b. siding too
stroosly with the oppresscrs Of Kansas; here, hs
cannot. Mr. Buchanin's policy is Pro Slavery;
this City 10 Pro Slavery and gave him bis majority
on that ground. He Will slien,te one third Of a.
his supporters in our Ssa.s-west of Albany By Pur
suing the policy 10 which hs seems inclined before
he sbckes his msjor ty ia this City.

the principle that tSeii City should be governed for
ito own good and not for tbs. Of any political party
To this prir cipls, Mr.. Tiemann is commsted-of
