The Election aud the Future.

The election has resulted IN the choice
Of republican Legislature and division
of the State officers between the republic
cans and democrats, While this is less
than the more ssnguine Of our frisnds hop
ed for. it is enough to justify most encour-
aging anticipaiioos for the future.
Republican State officers are chosen who
have majorities exceeding twenty thousand.
The democratic State officers elected have
only as many hundred. TIE republican
vote on Senators shows republican ma
joriiy in the State Of many thousands.
The democratic party is reduced to an
impotant minority. Without outside aid.
it 20 longer possesses the power to elect a
single candidate.
The American party, SO long disturb
ing elementin our State pcliics, is dissolv
ed, and is last returning TO its original ele-
ments. Henceforth the battle in NewYork
will be an open and Straightforward one be.
tween the party Of slavery and the party
Of freedom.
Last year the united vote OF the demo
Gratis and Americans exceeded that Of The
Republicans by $4,000. This year theil
vote combined barely exceeds the republi
can vote by 1900 or 1000. This show,
a relative republican gain, for the vote o
both parties is. Of course, lighter than that
usually cast at a, ,Gubernatorial or Presiden'

call out o full vote, a republican mojority

The Cash system.

After full reflection, the Publish ers Of this pspe
have become converts to the Cash System. The NEST
powerful argument which has urged them to this
position is found in their account bOoks wherein is
recorded debt due them of over SIXTY thousand dol
lars, accumulated since the 18th Of May, 1853, and
for subscriptions alone of more than forty thousand
dollars. Here is suspended debt for subscriptions
averaging near eight thousand dollars per year. 1t
will probably eventually net not much more than
halfits aggregate amount. The loss isnoi, however
wholly ours. A portion of il is made up by tax
on our purctusl subscribers: as unjust TO them as
the loss of the remaining portion is TO u.s. The
remedy for this evil beth to ourselves and our pune
tual subscribers, is in the cash system. Adopting
this system do from this day, we shall be able
to afford our weekly paper st a reduced rate Our
plan is this On the 18th day of May next, we shall
erase from our subscription lists every name not in
advance. From this date we shall enter no new
name on our books unless the money accompanies
the order. From this day shall energetically en-
deavor to collect the money due Us on old accounts
and make no new ones Our weekly paper will be
two dollars per year. Those who have already paid
in advance beyond the 18th of May, 1859, will be
allowed the benefit of this reduction frsm that date
