NEW YORK ELECTION* With a prospect, a week'npn; of (he'most rncour* aging character for carrying the city, the day efthe election showed the Democratic party without spirit and entirety without organization. It is unnecessary tii dwelt upon the cause which produced this state of things. They have been apparent, and are well known to every man In the oily. At most of Mie, polls the rraull was very clearly indicated in the early part of the d ly. So ahamcfully wn everything like organization neglected that ot some of th£ polls, Democrats could procure no tickets lo vole, and a friend r rom the third ward actually came lo our office to write a ticket, hiving been unable lo procure one at the poll where he went lo vole. The Democratic General Committee had’not been in session for a week, and made no provision whatever for the elec tion. Defeat was inevitable under such ciroutnslsn. CCS. The Birnhhrners Invo added another chapter to their dark history df treVchcy and disorganisation. With, n pretended desire lo bring about a reconcilin' linn, and with a virtual pledge to break up their conflicting organization in (his city, they approached the Democracy,and when they were met on a ground which they had avowed to he snlialnctnry, (hey came into the field with a aepante nomination forjudges, &n. The indignation caused, hy (his atrocious con dud among the - Democracy fell (unjustly ns we thipk).upon Mr. Van Sclnink ns its victim, and was a primary cause in paralyzing the arm of the Du inner icy. White wo cannot hut condemn the entire which some of nuf parly. In vu taken under the influ* once ofthis feeling,wo have no hesitation in ozpres. sing nor entire concurrence' In the sentiment of dctuMtatioh which the conduct of that treacherous faction deserves. All the Decency* Wc have been Informed by a friend |n whom we have every confidence, (tint ft i scene, occurred ai Washington, on the doy of the Inauguration of Pn* aiili'iU Taylor, which show* up that party which lays cl iim lu “all the decency,” in ft very,proper manner. Ou the return of the carriage wliirh conveyed Mr. Pulk to the Irving House, a crowd blocked up the w: ,y which led from the carriage to the house; a pn*. s ign was soon in ido, nnd while Mr. Polk wan passing through, many of the fops with which the crowd wnc sprinkled, wcio heard to soy, “All, he’s polked out, let him go no one regrets it, the old scoundrel,” &0., thus venting their potty epila in tones loud enough to bo heard by him for whom they were In tended. If there Is anything contemptible in this world of ours, it is suoh conduct; it is more hcoom* ing the donlecns of pandemonium, than those who claim to bo. Americans. Let Federalism hold its prate concerning “all the decency” while a large body of thut.ptirfy is composed of such things as those jußt dcscribfd.-~?ii , gu>» Some tynerlee* If a“ no party” President, suyi' the Boston Post, chooses every'member of his Cabinet'from the ranks of the rankest kind of Whigs, what would the same individual have done if ho had come 'into power as a party president 7 If he would have done precisely the same thing, then what is the difference between “parly” nnd “no party 7” It there bo none at oil, why should good men be proscribed for being known •s “Democrats 7” • Answer.—ft was the remark of a Roman con sul, in an early period of that celebrated Republic, that the most striking contrast was observable in the conduct of candldolcs.for office of power and (rust; before and ofterubUiningthem* However much the world may have improved, in the lapse of upwards of two thousand years since tho-remark was made by the virtuous and Indignant Roman, I fear that a strict examination of the annuls uf some of the modern elective governments would exhibit similar Instances of violated confidence.— Otntral ilanitom jjotttcm.

Though (he church forbid, they were betrothed, but flnridd, the King, was entreated by the B rons nnd Pielates of England to utnrry Aldyth, for his country's «<ike. The sfrugg'e between love and patriotism was intense—but It triumphed through the self-sacrificing devotion of his betrothed. The noble appeal of his brother Gurlh sounds like, the days of our own Revolution, when ah intense deyo lion.to country developed the jmrest traits of human character. And the trend of sf-ps mounted the sUlrs without hi* dour, and there p lined, and there wna the mur mur ol two voires without: one the clear voice of Uurlh, one softer nnd morn troubled.

But when the immense distance which'separatee us even :from the nearest of'llie pin nets is remembered, it can goarcely be a matter . of surprise when the telescope affords no direct evi* dcnce of the question, whether the planets, lilce (he ■ earth,are inhabited globed Yet though it gives'no direct answer to (ho inquiry, modern Astronomy lino collected together a muss of facts, connected by the positrons and. physical character and conditions, and the parts-plnyedin Ihe solar.system by Hie several-globes of which that solar system is composed, Which form a vusl bndy of analogy, lend*, tng ibe. intelligent mind to the conclusion that the 1 various phincts n/e Worlds, fulfilling in the wise erou. 1 (imy of thb'tJtilverse Ihe same functions, created.by I the same Divine hand, for the same moral purposes, *_ and with the same destinies ns the earth* Thus, for oxnrnpfe, wo find that lhoso orbs lilio our own, roll 1 in regulated periods around the sun J that they have! l nights and days, nndsuccessionsoCseasons,thut they 1 are provided with atmosphere, supporting clouds and 1 agitated by winds ; and thus,also, their climatesund 1 ' seasons are modified by evaporation,and that showers i refresh their surfaces. For we know that wherever 1 1 the existence of clouds is mndOfmnnifcsMhcre water must exist; (here evaporation must go bn; tluro 1 electricity with its train of phenomena, maatjcigq 5 , the min'must fall; there, huil and snow must dc- i cend. ‘1 1 Notwithstanding flic dense atmosphere end thick clouds with which Venus nnd Mercury ore conslantly enveloped, the telescope his exhibited to us great Irrcpuinrilicß'on.fheif surfaces; and thus proved the existence of mountains end. valleys. But it is upon the pinnate.Mnfs, .which approaches nearest la the earth, that.the greatest advances'have been made in (his department oflnqulry. Under favorable circuit), stances,'its disc is seen In bo mapped out by a v.t. rird outline, some, portions -being less reflective of light than others, just ns water, wnpld bo less reflec tive than, land! Bier snd Meudler, two Prussian astronomers, have devoted many years’labor to the examination ofMatrs, nod the result has put uain the possession ofn map ofthn geography oflhnl planet almost ns exactly defined ns that we possess of our own; in fact the geographical outlines of land and water have been made apparent upon it. But asi ill more extraordinary fact, in relation to thin •’planet, .remains to be considered. Among the shaded mark* inga which have been noted by (ho telescope upon its disc, a remarkable region of brilliant whi’c light standing out in hold relief, has been observed sur ronnding (he visible pole. This highly illuminated spot is to be sco"n most plainly when it emerges from, (ho long nights of the winter season ; hut when It has passed slowly beneath the bent of the solar beams, it is found to have gradually contracted its dimen sions; and.M |ost‘befnt;e it fias plunged into light'on thp oppOßjlb pnle, then cdijiirig into sfmilaV relations, iifTound to bo furnished' with a like luminous spot, which In its (urn, dissolves as it becomes heated by tlie summer sun. Now these, facts prove to us-in rnnlestibly, that the very geographical reglons-of Mara are (he flic similes of mir own. In its hmg polar winters the snows accumulate in the desolation of it* high northern and southern latitudes, until I hey become visible to us in consequence of their reflec tive properties; (lint those arc, slowly melted »a (lie sun’s rnya gather power In the advancing season, until (hey cease to bo appreciable to torrential eyes. The fact is a most striking one in reference to (he present question. Iftlio moon has proved to u«, incnntrovcrtibly that one of (ho celestial luminaries is a solid sphere, carved into elevations and depressions analogous to those fami'lnr to us, ns (he mountains and valleys ol the terrestlal surfaces, Mara tenches us as empli.il Icnl'y that another among them Is a world, filled with Its rains, and snows, nnd clouds, and seasons, suited to (he purposes nnd wants or organic life, whieh is intimately dependent upon such adaptions for its being!. The Ilcantjr of (lie Sky* If is a strange thing how Hide in general pe' pie know about the sky. It is the part of creation in which nature has one or more for the sake of plras* Ing man* more for the sole and evident purpose nt talking to him* and teaching him, than in any oth er of her works, and it is just the part in which we least attend to her. There are not many ol her other works in which some more material rr essential purpose than the mere pleasing* of man is not answered by eypry part of,their organize* lion; but every ofthesky might, as far as we know, be answered, if once in three days, or thereabouts, a great black ugly rain cloud were broken up over the blue, and everything well watered, and so nil left blue again until next lime, With perhaps a film of morning and evening mist for dew. Bn! instead of ibis, there is not a mo ment rtf any day of our lives when nature is not producing scene after scene, picture after picture, glory after glory, and working still upon such ex quisite and constant principle of the most perfect beauty, that it is quite certain that it is all done for us, and for our perpetual pleasure.— Modern Painters, How ere the Mighty Fallen* Louis Phillippo h.it taken 11 private house in North umberland street, London, which ho and hU'f.miily occupy when thoy como up from Claremont.
