Never was there more gallant struggle than
that made by the Wings of our City yesterday
and throughout the whole campaign. They
have fought against the most corrupt dispsnsa-
t;nn of Custom House and other Government
Pa.ronage-sgainst the arts and appliances OF an
setivs, powerful, and INSCRIPTIONS body OF op-
,onents who would have shown the Jaco-
bins of the Reign of Terror their masters.
We are overwhelmed in the City, by causes which
cannot operate elsewbere-by enormous Illegal
Voting. and by the general array OF our immense
Naturalized vote against US, owing to the preva-
lance here OF Native Americanism. While this
new element in our Politics has arraycd large
class Of our citizens against US who would else
have been with us, it has not had the expected
sfsect of bringing the Natives themselves TO
vote for Mr.. Clay. While the Fourth, Sixth,
Twelfth and Fourteenth Wards have given
sxtravaVant majorities against us-being largely
peopled by Adopted Cltizens--the Eleventh,
thirteenth and Seventeenth, which were the
fountains and bulwarks of Nativism, have used dus
badly, considering that the Wings who eschewed
Natiyism almost unanimously waived their OBJ
,sctions and voted the Native Ticket. They
nodded our votes and obtained them, without
bargain or supulation-not that we loved them,
but that we sbhorred Loco Focoism we needed
and expected theirs against the party which had
denounced and excommunicated them, and We
did no. get them-that is, generally The Ninth
and Tenth Wards did better, though not SO well
a. we expected while our majorities in the First
and Second were cut down by the heavy increase
OF Naturalized Voters therein, who, In view of
Nativism, voted the Loco Foco ticket. The result
hes been, therefore, that, while the Wings have
probably elected all the Native candidates lex
espt perhaps Congressman or two) by hand
some majorities, the Natives have let us 60 TO
che wall on our Electors and Governor. This is
the short story We shall speak farther of the
matter hereafter.


The Total Vote Is probably Fifty.hve to Sixty
Thousand-an aggregate which cannot have
bean honestly given. We confidently believe that,
II we had had Registration Of Voters, 50 rs to
give every man chance to detect and expose IL.
lsEsl Voters, Clay would have had a majority in
