VIII the vote of our State come out next
week" This is the question on which the result
Of our Election turns. We do not need accesslons
10 our ranks-though we have many such-to
insure signal Republican triumpl-we need only
q full vote. And that vote we confidently expect.
There are Counties which will double their Repub-
lcan vote of last year, there Election Districts
which will quadruple that vote. There are this
day little, ii any lesi than Three Hundred
Thousand Republican voters in our State. Two
Hundred and Fifty thousand will choose at our
ensuing Election. We believe that number will
be called out for our ticket But while much has
been and il being done, there are townships, and
even counties, as yet unorganized and unaroused.
What is yet to be done is to awaken these sleepers
Republicans attend TO this urgent duty
Republican reader do you know township, an
election dstrict-yOur own or another-whlch is
not yet prepared for the contest If 50, we
intreat you to give it the benefit of your instant
attention. Write few notices, and post them,
calling Republican meeting to organize for next
weeks election, al the most convenient place that
can be had-if private house, all the better-and
them to attend. If dozen men with the tight
spirit in them come together, the work is done
Appoint two good men for each school district TO
personlly visit every Republican voter living
therein, and urge him to be early at the polls on
the eventful Tuesday. Ask every one who has
team to call for his lees fortunate neighbors and
invite them to ride. Have your arrangements 50
made that there will be some good Republican in
each schcol district pledged that every Republican
voter in said district shall BE- Immediately seen and
urged to be on hand, and accommodated with
ride if he need and desire it, 80 that rain or
shine, your last vote shall be out on the ID OF
November.
That is all that is needed. Should this organ
ization be perfect and every vote out, We shall
elect our whole Ticket by Fifty Thousand major
ty and carry at least twenty-five Members OF Con-
cress Should it be but partially effected, 60 that
Thirty or Forty Thousand Of our voters remain at
home, we may be cut down to lean majority
and lose Congressman enough TO turn the scale in
the House. such is the exact state Of the case
according TO our adyices. Republicans OF New
York i.let not your brethren Of PENNSYLVANIA,
ONO, INDIANA Iowa and KANSAS lose the fruit
of their glorious trumphs through your criminal
apathy Work, lovers OF Freedom IL is but

New Orleans papers received here contain the par
ticulars of the defeat of ydaurri by Miramon. The
former not the field when the engagement com
menced, and his army appears TO have been attacked
when least apprehensve and prepared for it.
The rumOrs at Brownsville were that the defeated
army lost 800 men, killed and that 2, 900 of them
taken prisoners, with their artillery and provisions
An express from Monterey to Matamoras, however,
says their loss not great and that only por-
ton of the artillery and munitions were captured by
Miramons forces, and that the Liberal party made
their retreat from the field in good order.
An official paper received at Monterey says that VIZ
daurri has already sent orders to the commander Of
Tampieo for another park of artillery where there is
plenty to be- had, which will DO in the field, to-

The Courier and enquirer is afflicted. Its editor,
dissatisfied with his success in his more immediate
vocation, again essays the direction OF THE
TRIBUNE. He is positively shocked at our report
ing the late Prize-Fiebt! He wouldn't do such
thing for no money, II was the same with the
Webb and Marshall duel, which THE TRIBUNE
reported but The Courier suppressed-Out OF ~
gard to the public morals, We presume But then
the various battles of the Mexican War-eyery
whit as brutal and iniquitous as the MOrrissey and
Heenan business-were fully blazoned by The
Courier. We treated them Just as We did the
Webb and Marshall duel and the Morrissey and

ored to present them in such light as 10 excite
wholesome loathing alike for PrlEeF Fighting, Duel

From an opinion delivered by Judge Sutherland,
about week sgo it would seem that Mr. Robert
". Lowber was rather premature in selling the
CITY Hall furniture, under his judgment. The
opinion Will be found ia smother column. The
judge rccites in brief the whole action IN the case
showing as fine a confusion of proceedings as was
witnessed in the celebrated Street Commissioner
controversy However, the point decided simply
amounts TO this: On appeal, the General Term OF
the Supreme Court vacated LOwber's Judgment
and all subsequent proceedings upon which 1t was
obtained provided that anactlon should be brought
by taxpayer to relieve the City from the vacated
Judgment and that if such action should be decided
againsts tax payer then the judgment answer &C.,
in Lowbers original action should stand in fuforce.
except that the form of the judgment should be so
modified that the -Lowber-sholld recover
the damages awarded, on his executing and deliver
ing to the then deiendants-the Mayor, Ac.-a
warranty deed in the form and with the covenants
required by the agreement, &C." the form and
" mode of execution of said deed to be- approved by
one Of the Justices Of this Court"
Subsequent to this order, Mr.. Lowber made
motion before Judge Sutherfnu 10 NdCdtc thc III
junction order in the action and pending the decis
ion thereon, Judge Ingraham dismissed the COM
plant in the action of the People and Azariah c.
Flaec ACT. Robert ". Lowber, &c. AT Special
Term, Judge Sutherland, in deciding the notion
quotes from the order of the General Term, as
follows
If the order Of the General Term has any force or
meaning Notwithstanding the decision at Special Term
Diminishing the complaint of the People and flagg MI
Lowber cannot proceed under his Judgment until he
has executed the warranty deed and II has been APP
proved by Justice of this Court, according to the
order Ifhe has not complied with that order then he
is sufficiently restrained by the order for in fact he has
no Judgment
Under the effect Of the above, Judge Sutherland
formally denied the motion, on the ground that he
considered it immaterial whether it should be
granted or denied.
Ii appears that Mr.. Lowber has not given the
deed required by the order of the General Term;
consequently his proceedings in selling the personal
property were Illegal. 1t is stated that Mr. Low
Der offered what he considered to be proper deed
but We understand it was not approved by one Of
