The result of the election yesterday has been a
most overwhelming defeat to the Wings at every
point. The resistance which they made appears
weak and feeble indeed, compared to the sweep
ing course of the Democrats. The city is Demo
cratic by an immense majority, and has proved
herself to be decidedly hostile to all the plans and
measures of the Wings, both local and general


The name ofHenry Clay, was brought out FORE
most and distinctly At the public meetings of
the Wings it was boldly resolved that the present
election would ''open the campaign for Harry of
the West" The names of Clay and Smith were
united in those meetings and in their papers,
which declared that "the present contest would
make or mar his fortunes" With the name of
Clay, all the principles and measures that he advo-
Gates were set forth, to receive an expression of
the public will upon them at the election. There
was no shuffling nor dodging. Those questions
were fairly held out besides certain local ones; and
a most determined and absolute rejection of them
has been proclaimed to the whole country by this
CITY Indeed. we find one source of the grati6ca-
ton which the Democrats manifest to-day, pro-
ceeds from the decisive vote which was given on
these subjects.


The majority for Mayor is such as is seldom
equalled. No majority in the city has been so
large since the vote given for General Jackson
The Common Councils almost entirely Demo
cratic. The Democrats compose more than two
thirds ofthat body; whereas, last year. the Wings
had majority. The overthrow ofthe Wings has
been most thorough and Overwhelming. AS usual,
they resort to every plea to soften their headlong
fall, but the true one. They have received most
fair and handsome defeat and we congratulate
the Democracy of the city, of the State, and of the
Union; and we can assure them that, on the sub
ject of Henry Clayand his measures together with
the Wing policy, they will find the first CONNER
cial city of the nation speaking with an almost
unanimous condemnation.
