New York, wednesday, November 3, 1855.



Important elections took place yesterday in New
York. New Jersey, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Hi
nois Delaware and Michigan.
The election in this city was characterized by
disturbances in several districts, but we do not
learn of any personal injuries resulting therefrom.
The contest in the metropolis was very exciting
one and resulted in the success of the democratic
State ticket by plurality of eleven thousand the
choice Of four democratic representatives to Con-
gress. namely-Messrs. Sickle Barr, Maclay and
Cochrane-and the election q all the democratic
nominees for county Offices. The vote, al
though larger than that Of last year, shows a
loss to the democracy. The returns from
the interior OF the State place the success Of the
republican State ticket beyond all question. The
republicans have also elected a large majority of
the Congressional delegation, a well as Of the
members Of Assembly.
In Massachusetts, the republicans have elected
their State ticket headed by Nathaniel p. Banks
and, usual an entire republican delegation in Con
gress.
Michigan has probably returned an entire dele
cation of republicans to Congress.
In New Jersey the republicans have gained one
member of Congress.
BY the arrival Of the steamship Fulton at this
por, yesterday, from southampton, we have details
Of European news TO the 10th ut. The extracts
from our files. which are published this morning,
will be found interesting.
Geographic despatch received at the police
headquarters yesterday, states that the Delaware
Bank. at Delhi. " Y. was robbed last night Of
$4,000. A reward Of So 900 is offered.
The sales Of cotton yesterday embraced about 300
bales Lots In store and arrive, dull while par
ocls In transit we're firmly held, with little offering The
receipts at all the Southern ports up to laes, date
amounted TO about 563 bales showing increase OF
about Sl4 bales those fo the period last year
and the exports this year last, amounts
TO &c 600 bales The present crop estimates vary from
335o,o00 t. 3,500Ooo. The outside estimate ~ prodi

not be surprising to the managers of Tammlny
Hall Morgan l. elected Governor by hand
some majority, and the regular democracy have
been beaten In number OF their old Congress
sional districts. Clark and IIaskin are thus r.
elected as anti-administra,ion candidates: H1mph-
reys IL elected over Taylor in the Brooklyn dis
trict George Briggs. fusion. over Elijah Ward.
and Reynolds, anti-Lecompton opposition candi-
date. over Erastus Corning in the Albany dis
trict The democrats, however, have saved John
Cochrane, Sickles, Maclay and Barr in this city,
which is more than they expected by one half;
and have elected their entire county and judi
ciary ticket which is also something more than
the appearances Of the canvass two days ago
would justify.
The returns for Governor. on the other hand.

The Rochester manifesto. then. Of W NJ Seward
declaring incessant war upon the Southern insti.
tuition Of slavery until all the slave States shall
BE- made free States. or until all the free States
shall be changed into slave States. has received
nominal endorsement from the people Of this
commonwealth which places Mr. Seward promi-
nently in the foreground a. "a republican candi-
date for the Presidency upon the bloody aboli.
ton and revolutionary platform Of Lloyd Gar
rison and Theodore Parker
Thus The election Of Morgan become. the most
conspicuous, the most significant and the most
momcnious Of all the result, Of an our elections
for the last twenty years: inasmuch a. Il places
the republican party with a majority In tho next
Congress upon Stewards warlike All disunion
platform, until the party shall have otherwise
dccrced. The party must now consent 70 sink
seward beyond the hope Of resurrection. or con.
sent 10 sink with him and The Union II Iii d.
tigns to carry the war against slavery into tho
heart ~ the Southern States
This issue. thus broadly developed in the cleo.
Zion 81 Morgan, is the paramount result Of yes
terdays elections, In connection with an anti
administration Congress. The agitation for 1850
low begins; but who can predict the end
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1858-11-03

ieei themselves compelled TO raise an issue which
is likely to throw all political questions into the
shade or their power to carry out any legti-
mate Objects which they may propose to them
selves no doubt can be entertained The tax
payers of the city number about 10000, and the
amount of capital represented by their com
mittee may be estimated, at the lowest calcula-
tion at about seventy-five millions. If the men
comprising this powerful interest only pull
together with a spirit Of union and determine
ton, there is no political combination at present
existing that can resist or defeat their efforts.
We believe that the taxpayers are determined
to put forth their full strength at the elections
next month They feel that, if they delay doing
this for another term, the opportunity will be
lost, and their burdens increased by at least one
third. In order that their movement shall be
effective, they will have to carry reform into
every branch of the city administration, from
the Comptroller down to the lowest official
subject to the popular choice They must
no longer permit the anomaly of having the men
who expend the taxes chosen from amongst per-
sons who contribute nothing towards the city
revenues. and placed in Office merely to gorge
themselves at the public expense All this the
taxpayers organization propose to do; but it is
not sufficient to merely entertain the intentions:
they will have to guard against the influence of
trcachery from within as well as from without

be animated by the same interests and motives
as themselves
