THE CONFLICT AND THE TRIUMPH!

The Empire State has put the "broad seal" of condemnation upon her recreant Son. The Forty-two Electoral Votes of New York will be cast for the Soldier, Patriot and Statesman: WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. And this glorious result, added to the triumphs of Freemen in other States, prostrates Van Burenism, overwhelms Vilification, and annihilates Loco Focoism.

In the Southern and Middle portions of our State the conflict has been fierce and desperate. On no former occasion has Loco Focoism been so determined and ferocious. To the destructiveness of their principles was added a keen appetite for "spoils." And to all this was superadded money in unexampled profusion. All along the River it was most lavishly expended. In our own city they poured it out in constant streams. Where did this money come from? The final settlements of a Leg-Treasurer's Account will furnish the answer to this question.

But the Free, the Glorious, the ever Faithful WEST, redeems all! Her triumphant WHIG Majorities, combined with the equally proud and triumphant results at Saratoga, Washington and Essex, have filled a great and enlightened, but oppressed and misgoverned Republic, with joy and gratitude.

THE EMPIRE STATE

Casts out her recreant son, and, by a voice of TEN THOUSAND at least, condemns his measures and supplants his power.

The West—the free, the truly republican West—has largely counterbalanced the effect, in the River Counties, of intrigue, corruption, conspiracy, appeals to Dutch sympathies in favor of Van Buren and Bouck, and the more unpardonable appeals to foreigners as such, to overthrow the institutions of this noble land.

Well, well, indeed, may the glorious West rejoice in this its peculiar honor, that there first began that unfaltering opposition to the corrupt rule of the party now in power, which, persevered in through good report and evil report, undiscouraged by defeat elsewhere, undismayed, consistent, patient, and resolute, has finally triumphed—triumphed completely, both in the State and the Union.

Honor and thanks, then, to the Glorious West. Nor must we omit thanks and gratulations to Saratoga, Washington and Essex, where we have largely gained.

We carry the Harrison Electoral Ticket—we carry the Governor and Lt. Governor—we carry four out of the eight Senators, making the Senate stand 21 whig to 11 Loco-Foco—we carry the Assembly by a majority of from two to six

GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE STATE.

The "Lion of the West" comes bounding down upon us, making "the welkin ring" with the majestic roar of triumph.

New York proves again true to the great principles of Constitutional Liberty.

While, from causes easily explained, the city and the river counties have wavered, and some of them relapsed into the embrace of agrarianism, the people of the West have again spoken in their majesty, repudiated "the Northern man with Southern principles," and vetoed the declaration of the President, that he and his immediate predecessor have arrived at the true meaning of the Constitution, and that the illustrious men by whose minds that glorious instrument was conceived, and by whose hands it was fashioned, understood not its principles. So think not the people of New York—so think not the people of the Union—and in the plenitude of their power, they have decided that there shall be an end to the ruinous experiments that have whelmed this glorious Union in universal distress, and that the administration of the Constitution shall be brought back to first principles. So speaks New York by a voice of thirty thousand majority of native citizens, and by a majority of more than ten thousand over the whole. We add the returns as they have come to hand:—
