The Election.--The unfavorable results in our own county, given yesterday, were only the prelude of an adverse political tempest that seems to have swept the State. As yet, we have not heard of a single county in which the democratic ticket has succeeded; and we include among them, some of the oldest and firmest strong-holds of the democracy--we shall not at this moment stop to inquire into the causes. The opposition have undoubtedly elected a majority of the Assembly; probably two to one,

CORRESPONDENCE.
New-York, Nov. 9, 1837.

The result of our City Election, as I predicted, is DEFEAT, and worse than defeat, DISGRACE to the party. The Whigs have succeeded by about 2900 majority. This is the result of the new and untried experiment! As far as heard from in the State, the Loco-Foco's are in a contemptible minority, and even our best nominations will, in many instances, fail to insure success, so deeply impressed are the PEOPLE with the destructive nature of the measures proposed by the general administration.

In Westchester, Orange, Dutchess, and Ulster counties, as far as ascertained, the Whigs have increased their vote to an alarming extent, and if I am not much mistaken in the signs that are so far exhibited, the Whigs will carry nearly, if not fully, a majority of the House of Assembly.

The following is the result as far as it is positively ascertained:-
18

Making a relative change of 18 votes in favor of the Whigs in four counties!

So much for Loco-Focoism.

I understand that our "Commercial Representative" has stated that the President will press the Sub-Treasury scheme notwithstanding the decided expression of the people's disapprobation. This is the common rumor, but I trust it is not true. If it is, alas for the party. Its epitaph might as well be written.

Nov. 10, 1837.

Dear Sir: Radicalism in high places, and destructiveness in low--can do no more! The Empire State is Lost, irretrievably Lost to the administration!! The Loco-rocos are routed every where. The Whigs have elected a sufficient number of Members of Assembly, already heard from, to give them a Majority of that body, and I think it highly probable that they will have a majority in joint ballot.

Our respected Chief Magistrate, will, I trust, follow the indications of public sentiment, and abandon his new theories. Alas! for that party that but yesterday "could stand against the world." I trust that the day has not come (but I much fear it has) when, as Bulwer says in his late work, (Ernest Maltravers) our leading politicians will be doomed "to that most bitter of all curses, the remorse that comes too late."

From the Onondaga, (N. Y.) Standard.

"A year ago neither friends nor foes deemed it possible, that Mr. Van Buren's election to the Presidency could be contested with a shadow of a hope of success, or that his administration of the government would not be triumphantly sustained. What have we seen in that short period? Why was he elected but by the 4400 majority in Pennsylvania; and scarce an election has occurred since, in which the democracy have not sustained a loss or a total defeat. Democratic States, formerly decided against the Bank are now in the opposition and as decidedly for the Bank.

Indiana, a short time since, was opposed to the Bank by 6000 majority, is now in its favor by a majority of 17,000.

Ohio, with 23 electoral votes, formerly against the Bank, is now for it.

Tennessee, General Jackson's own State, formerly unanimously opposed to the Bank, has recently declared in its favor by a majority of 20,000.

North Carolina, formerly against the Bank, is now represented in one branch of the National Legislature by a Bank delegation.

Maine, democratic Maine, has just lost a majority of ten thousand, and elected a Whig Governor and Legislature.

Rhode Island has enrolled herself among the bank advocates by a majority of 1000,

These results have already taken place. What better have we any reason to expect in the elections yet to be holden? "Is there a gleam of hope for Connecticut? Can we recover New Jersey, once opposed to the Bank, now in its favor? Has not the bank by this period, made a complete conquest of Pennsylvania? Is Georgia an administration State? Can the majority of 370 in Louisiana sustain themselves? Is Illinois for Mr. Van Buren or General Harrison?

Again. Look at Congress. There the administration maintains a divided ascendancy. In the Senate, we see some of its ablest and strongest men, marking out an independent course for themselves. Indeed, if the Whig Legislatures adopt the democratic principle of instruction, we do not perceive how we are to retain even a nominal majority for a much longer period. And the House is so nearly balanced that a strict party measure stands but a dubious chance of success."
