NEW YORK ELECTION.
Although the Democracy of tho Empire
Stale have not entirely regenerated their
Legislature from Whig rule, yet llioy have
gained much of which to boast, that gives
.undoubted assurance that the whole etato
will be redeemed another year. The city
.of Now York has done nobly, having gain
,cd a complete victory by electing their
.whole democratic Legislative ticket.

ing just and merited compliment to Govern

Allnw mo. sir. to sav. that amonrr the inci

of tho most gratifying, the opportunity
which it allordeJ meol becoming pursonai

whoso many sterling qualities have, for tho

which has been placed in mm oy mo pcopic

Fnr terms in which vou liavo been
pleased to associate my name with his, and
with that ot my illustrious menu nnn pre

Juty assigned you by your lenow citizens,
I make you my warmest acknowledgements,

Mr. mbb,
Some of tho papers in your region of
country, have contained tho recommenda
tions of the soveral editors, of individuals
to represent the Stato in tho Senate of the
linked States. But one can ho elected,
and of course ma.iy will be disappointed if
they have permitted themselves to feel much
upon the subject. The course, however, is
not t,o bo condemned. It is a privilego
which any one may exercise, and the cus
tom, too, is not without its benefits. What
others have thought fit to do for their friends
jpormit me to do through your columns, for
.one in whoso rising reputation I am pleased,
as while it reflects honor upon himself,
shews also the benefits of our republican in
stitutions.

Awjul Warning. A Philadelphia paper
gives an account ot the execution ut a mur
derer, who, in his dying speech attributed
tho origip of his crime (through u long

will render entire patisfudtiou in this lespect not

As it is moro than probable, that tho all-engrossing

commuted to tho hands of ultra redcrahsts and
friends of a gri at and blighting monopoly in tho
