Contrary to our expectations, the election
As whole has resulted favoraby to the
Democracy in New York. The most i'm.
portsnt portion Of their ticket has been
elected. and the impossibility Of carrying
that State upon the irrepressible conflict

Know Nothing power, which, however. has
been sufficient up 10 this time to hold the
balance, have emphatically decided that
point.
This, it strikes Us, will settle Mr.. Sow

Of dropping that issue and uniting with the
