THE NEW YORK ELECTION.
The Scenes and Speeches at the Political
Headquart ers---The Democracy Jubilant.
The New York Herald, of the 5th, devotes
page to description of the scenes at the Sc,
veral political headquarters, on the night Of
the election. We copy the following:
TAMMANY HALL.
At this stancient hunting ground, )" as the
Herald styles it, the 'sunterrifed" assembled
in overwhelming numbers-M MIR. Pnrdy presid-
ing, as usual.
Ex-Marshal Isaiah Rynders was presented
to the crowd, and was received with good
deal Of noise and applause. He occupied the
best part Of an hour, read the election returns
as they gradually dropped in, and comment
ing in his well known rough but caustic style
on the melancholy demise of the Republican
party He thought it was high time that
such an occurrence should take place. The
Abolitionists had hoped to deprive the people
of their ancient liberty altogether, but the re-
suits Of this days election will show that the
people of New York have not forgotten the
value of those rights for which their fathers
fought, bled and conquered. Applanse. -
No democratic government that ever existed
had been guilty Of infringing on the rights of
the people They never imprisoned men
free citizens without due process Of law.
The rights of the people were always respect
ed, and individual liberty was not then a
farce That's so.
A yoice-Rynders, you will be sent to Fort
Lafayette if you don't look out.
RynGers-W What? Fort Lafayette! You
may rest assured shall not be alone in my
glory there. Establish the democratic govern
ment, and liberty will be SO free that there
will be no fear of any forts or prisons for free
men. Applause.
A voice-Tell us something about Greeley,
and how the old man feels tonight.
Another voice-The Tribune is closed up,
or if not, it should be. Loud laughter.
Rynders-Why, friends, Greeley himself
gave up Wadsworth as a case without hope
He informed the public that Tammany and
Rynders supported Wadsworth! Not bit of
it. He knew that poor old Wadsworth was
nowhere, and that Seymour would sweep the /
State as we have swept the city to-day
Wadsworth, you know, is a great warrior
He went to Washington and drew his sword,
and that is all we know about it.
A voice--In what battle?
Rynders-My friend, history has not yet
recorded that fact Laughter From all I
sides the most cheering news is coming in !,
from every part Of the Empire City. A re-
turn was just put into his hand announcing
that the Ninth ward has given nine hundred /
majority for Seymour loud chcersl and the !
Eleventh fgood old ward has given him g.
5l4 Renewed cheering.f Do You wonder,
then, that the Black Republican papers were
so terrified at what they saw would be the re
suit of this contest? It was for this that the
Times proposed that the whole election power
should be set aside. This was to bring the
military power right among us here; and, in
case of Seymour's election, to set it aside by T.
military authority. But Seymour has been
elected, and if he mistook not, they would
"see more" of the same kind before long
Loud laughter.
Cries from the rear-Here are returns from
the Thirteenth ward. Give them to us, Ryn-
ders.
Rynders- Fetch them along, boys.
Cries of LET'S hear from the old Thirteenth.
How is Duffy?
Rynders-The Thirteenth ward has given
an overwhelming majority for Seymour
Cheers Alas! poor Duffy. Loud laugh
ter There is but one story to be told to-
aight-yictory everywhere. [Applause.l
a Voice-How is Dickinson, the apostate? !;
Let us hear. from him.
Rypders Talk of victory tonight, boys
hat is the first and last thing Then we
will talk to traitors afterwards. Applause. s
A Mr.. insolvency was the next speaker.-It
lie thought that in the triumph of Democracy &
liberty would be re-established. There could p
,e no more arbitrary arrests. Applause = o
n the last steamer from California there Is
yere he was sorry to say, a number Of cler- il
;ymen, brought as prisoners for Fort Lafay- il
tie, because they would not pray for the a
resident Misses Now he believed that O
eligion had nothing to do with politics, and a
man might pray for whom he pleased - d
