The New York Defeat, gad the knelt Triumphs.
. .
, 11 number of the Federal editors, with even less
. .
of c.otninon honesty than common sense, , have
liereldeir forth the 'result of the recent election in
.
Naiv 'York as a Whig triumph: . Previous to' the
`election, their associates of that State were un-
Wearied in their exertions to secure the detest of
the Democratic nominees, upon the various grounds
otopposltion to the war, the tariff of 1846, the
In lePendent Treasury, and the affairs of the South
--more -especially the institution of Slavery. In
short, there is no point upon which they thought
a rally could be made, which-they - did not refer to;
Mad, knowing that a strung disattection existed
among :the Democrats, to their relarly,nomina
ted ticket, they resorted to every available means,
to widen - the breach between the two branches 65
the DemoCratic family. How far they succeded
•in this last effort, is not a matter of doubt. The
returns, so far es received, indicate a most inglO - ri 2
ons defeat-ra defeat at which we are rejoiced, if it
shall he liaeznaeans of purifying our party in that
State, separating from it the elements of strife, and
inducing a harmonious and vigorous action upon{
those'great constitutional questions, which it has
"`been our policy and out boast as a party, alone to
contend for. We think that this result will follow.
We.think that the disturbing elements will be over.
come, forced to seek their congenial associations
in the Federal ranks, and the Empire State pre
-sent an unbroken and unconquerable ftpnt, to the
enemies of our principles, in the great struggle of
-1848.
. We felt, long Indite the election, that the un
- tending and unswerving Democracy of that State
• were doomed to defeat. We could not believe
that - any discussion of those great national ques
tions, which we profess alone to regard, would in
duct that defeat. We did not believe that the
present war was so unpopular with the mass of,
her patriotic people, as to lead them to sanction an:l
inglorious condemnation of the men who have so l
noblyfustained their country in midst. We
.did not believe that the people of New York were
Willing to vote against the honor of their country;
- and therefore we felt satisfied that such an issue
siithis, if fully and fairly made, would only sink
the opponents of that war so far beneath popular
- notice, as not even to receive an indication of con
tempt. We did not believe that opposition to the
tariff of 1646 would avail the Federal party any
thing : for the unbounded prosperity of that great I
State, in her every interest, forbade the idea of;
success upon such an issue. We could. not think!
thatan attempt to violate the spirit, of ,pot the
litter, of our Constitutipm by giving to sectional
and !peal matter the importance of a general and
fundamental principle, could possibly succeed: for
on all the great questions of constitutional right
- "and justice, New York has sustained the Consti
• trition as ii is ; and bas spoken out in its favor in a
manner not to be questioned.
But there were circumstances which, we felt
sure, would lead to defeat—a spirit, (on the part
of many)-of dissaffection, of en% y, ol determination
to control the majorityl secure an unhallowed,
end ; or sink the present fortunes of both in the
unnatural struggle. How( certainly this has re
. stilted, from the action of the perturbed spirits in
that State, is ci matter that every man can at once
-see; We will present a few facts to prove this
, -truth.
The New York Tribune, (which, while it is one
of the most uncompromising opponents of the I
Democracy, is, at times, disposed to rebuke the
dishonest assumptions of its own party,) distinctly )
asserts, that the late result in that State cannot
fairly be claimed as a Whig victory ; and the edi
lot gives several very cogent reasons to sustain
his assertions. We copy a strong article from that
paper on this subject, and commend it to the peru
sal of our readers. The positions taken by the
writer, cannot becontroverfed. This shows how
the defeat of the unswerving Democracy of that
State was produced ;-and we trust that_ the late
result, will prove to be, in the end, the most whole
some chastisement which the traitors to our prin
ciples could have received.
It is evident to our minds that the united De
mocracy of New York could not have been de.
leated, when we take into view the result of all the
elections that have taken place this year; and that
the issues made by the Federal party have not
been calculated to advance their cause. Look, for
' instance, at the elections in Tennessee, Kentucky,
I_Todiants, Pennsylvania, Obio, Maryland, Georgia,
and New Jersey. In the first named States, the
:Federal candidates did not dare to make opposi
tion to the war an issue before the people ; but, in
'A most remarkable manner, strove to make iit.ap
that they were the genuiqe friends of that
measure. The popular returns in Tennessee give
a very small majority for the Federal candidate,
and those of Kentucky would seem to indicate;
, that, though we did not succeed in electing a ma
jority of members of Congress, a majority of the
people were with us. Indiana, too, in which we
have lost two votes in Congress, sustains the war,
sad the other leading measures of the administra
_ Pennsylvania has shown by a tremendous
majority, that she sustains the administration ; and
:ixiMaryland, where the questions were distinctly
raised 'by our.opponents, they have been signally
defeated before the People. Ohio, as well by the
alacrity with which her citizens have responded to
the calls of their country, as by the popular vote,
'shows berZipprobation of the course of the exec.
"Wive, on all the leading measures of the govern
-Georgia, by her choice of a Democratic
Governor, shows her hand in favor of the govern
.' rhea; and New Jersey shows herself on the same
aide. Last, though not least, we find Democratic
- Michigan looming up with a majority - cti:',_prbahly
:ten thousand. We hold that the resolliv.bf all

degree of activityson the part of the Democrats,

SANT♦ ANNA ' S WOODEN LEO.-A good many
.good 'uns" are told of Barnum, the celebrated cu-
riosity hunter. It is said he has made a fortune
by exhibiting to the people of eastern cities, things
that were deemed rare and marvellous. How he
obtained his curiosities, no one has thought worth
while to enquire, white all were willing to vist his
establishurient, at whatever prices he announced.
A friend his let us into the secret of Barnum's suc
cess. A ' '
,Santa Anna's Wooden Leg" had been
exhibited i 4 New York, and was drawing immense
crowds. 'clic great caterer to public appetite
(Barnum.)', produced the genuine article—there
i was no mistake, for he exhibited along with it, a
half bushel of affidavits, certificates, &c., which the
most s crupulous could not resist. One of the
good citizens of Pittsburgh was in New York about
that time, and the thought struck him that such
a speculation might take litre. So he repaired to
a celebrated maker of wooden legs, and enquired
the price for making a superb "Santa Anna's leg."
"I will charge you the same that Barnum paid me
for his—ten dollars," was the reply. Our friend
discovered the secret, aml concluded that it would
not do to be exhibiting two " legs - from the same
stump at the same time; and so abandoned the
speculation.

GENERAL . REPORT
Of . the Executive Irish Relief Conunitee,
THE COMMITTER met pursuant to notice, at the usual
place, on Friday the ath instant,- for final settlement of the trust
reposed in them, in affording and extending aid to the distress
ed of Ireland. The following Report gives a true exhibit of
what came under their supervision,—which was draft up by
a Committee for that purpose. The account of our worthy
Treasurer, Win. Lorimer, Jr., Esq., will be found perfectly ac
curate. The large amount collected, (and which has been for—
warded,) is a strong proof of the very liberal character of the
people of our county ;—and well calculated to impress their
brethren abroad—the recipients of their bounty, and who have
been redeemed by the same blood, with a high sense of their truly
Christian feeling. We would here remark, that several churches
and individuals have made liberal donations, which did not pass
through the Committee.
The Secretary takes this occasion to express his thanks to
the Clergy of the county, and others, for their kindness and
assistance, in giving the use of the churches for holding meet
ings, which resulted in so much good.

The CoMmittee appointed at A.genefal meeting of the friends of dry
poor of IrelanaJor the purposeofreceiving and transmittingto that counl
try'the donations - of ;the, benevolent_of this, city, and the surrounding:,
country, porisideripg•tha their duties have now almost come to a close r .
be - leave to report thi result of their'operations up to the present.
Annexed will be- frinnd the Report of a Sub-committee, appointed-to -
Duda the accoucts the Treasurer, and to ascertain the amount of Pro
dike received and forwarded. Details having been acknowledged est
received from time to time, the totals alone are now published. As will to
observed, the whole amount contributed ,in Money-and -Prisluce,..reachev
the large sum of $4O $47 22. •
,;The friends of the Poor of Ireland, Cannot bitt look upon this result
most gratifying , Every one who had a .sbare in ' the-g,tood work, cannot
but;rer 4
ice n considerinithe amount of distress relieyed, and "the:trim.'
ber of lives saved, bYthe contributions which `passed ..ifilOngtr_our hands.
Though wo have setf down the value of produce at $28,382 12k, it will • ,
be remembered that this.beingthe home .valuation, it was worth more
than double that amount when distributed in Ireland. - ' 2, " •
This result must inspire pleasure, both on account of the relief afforilede
and of the generous spirit evinced by our cOmmunity. The promptnees .
and generosity with which our - people, in every "direction, came forward,' .
to aid a distressed nation of another hemisphere, will, we 41oubt .tiot, -
be
iser considered a bright page in the history of this country. We have •
reason to feel proud, that - while Pittsburgh was amongst the fitilute move ,
in this charitable undertaking, she was also - amongst the foremost iithe.
amount of hers contributioni.
Though it may ippear invidious to make any distinction; where great. -
liberality was evinced by so many, we cannot omit directing attention to ,
the very liberal contribution of the Transporting Merchants. :In the most.
honied season of the year, when their business-weklimited only, by their
means of executing orders, they carried;pee of charge, an amount of
duce for Which, at the current rates, they would have been entitled to the
large sum of $1594 14. This was a moat liberal contribution, indeed. -
We feel it a duty also to state, that a deep_debt of gratitude is.dne to
Messrs. Ebbs and Allen, who successively`acted as Presidents of the COM._
mittee, on whom the duty of receiving and , attending to the - shipment
produce - devolved. The numerous and _varied sources 'tram which it
came ; the close attentie and energy required to getit forviarded promptly,
especially in consequenet of th . e unusual quantity of siinilar articlei seek
ing a market at the aeaboard, imposed on them.= amount of labor:which
few can appreciate, They devoted themselves, however, most - faithfully
to their arduous duties, and-.the satisfactory result .of the -eiperatio.lit itt
this district, is in !a great measure due to_ these gentlemen.: Odthem,
together with the Treasurer and Secretary, almost-the whole-burden or
- the Cornmirtee's labors may be said to have rested.
We feel it our duty also to acknowledge the prqmptnees WlFth Wilieti the
gentlemen connected` with.the press kindly, co-operated with us, in pub.
lishing, gratuitousli every thing that was deemed necessary to forward the
charitable work.
A committee ccimposed of two of the undetsigned, Messrs. Anderson.
and Harper,) in accordance with your instruction, have carefully „ex- •
amined the accounts of our excellent and liberal Treasurer; Wrri.Laritritir,
Jr., Esq , and find the same to be correct. The book -conteiningide
