THE TIDE IS TURNED
NEW YORK TO COME

The mighty current of Public Opinion, it is now ascertained, by the elections on almost all sides, is to run on with great force in the channel of Whig principles-and a current it is, as strong as the Mississippi, and as broad as the Gulf Stream-sweeping everything before it, and accumulating victory upon victory.
The events of the few weeks past astonish and astound-joyfully though-by their magnitude and unexpected brilliancy; and never in the history of the country has such a momentous change been affected in so short a time. Whole States, in one unbroken mass, have caved from under the Administration! The record of one great event has so followed another, that the whole sky political is one broad blaze of victory. The Whigs first captured Col. Johnson's district, in Kentucky. Kentucky then came in mass. Indiana was at her side. Tennessee has brought her Whig majority up to 20,000. North Carolina has given us one additional member of Congress. Since the 4th of March last, when Mr. Van Buren was constitutionally made President of the United States, he has not gained a member of Congress from one single State-but has lost six in Indiana, four in Kentucky, one in Tennessee, one in North Carolina, one in Maine, and two in Rhode Island-making a clear gain of SIXTEEN WHIG MEMBERS, and a practical gain of THIRTY-TWO MEMBERS in the popular branch of the Government!
Maine came with an unexpected victory. New Jersey has revolutionized her Legislature. Georgia is revolutionized. Ohio has followed suit. The Pennsylvania Senate is Whig, and the House is almost so. Connecticut and Michigan but pant to come. New York is about to speak.
The tide, therefore, we proclaim with joy is turned. The reign of Common Sense is recommencing. Henceforth, if we do our duty at the polls, we are to have a new era, new men, new times, Van Burenism is not Jacksonism. The "Little Magician" but feebly holds the trident of the "Old Chief." We welcome these glad joyous facts with new pleasure and renewed zeal.
We rejoice, not because the Whig party has triumphed, but because the country is being saved-because we are about to see the men and the measures that have bankrupted the country, changed-because the people themselves, in their primary assemblies,are paying the highest tribute humanity can pay to Republican Principles, Republican Institutions,and the capacity of man for self government.
Let the ball of revolution then be rolled on in New York. The whole Union will now turn its eyes upon us. With an intensity of gaze millions of freemen have been looking upon the States as they came-and now, as their eyes cease to be dazzled by the brilliant triumphs there, they will turn upon New York, and implore the Empire State not to be recreant to public duty-not to be unmindful of the illustrious example other States have set-not to add darkness from the centre, to the interrupted galaxy of light from the West and the East-from everywhere.
Beyond all dispute. there has been within four months the greatest revolution ever seen at the Polls and Ballot Boxes of the United States. New York may hesitate, falter and linger before she adds her Star to the other Stars of the Union-but if she does, with so much of prospect to tempt her onward. and so much of interest to stimulate her, the dishonor is on the Whigs of New York-on such as do not discharge their duty, and their whole duty, to their country. The crisis is not only important in the mighty struggle between good and bad principles now going on. but the interest of every man, no matter how low, (the office holders except,) are at stake.

THE TIDE IS TURNED.

The eight years current of destruction is now rolled, and is rolling backward. Who doubts that New York is borne on that current? What Whig can hesitate to commit himself to it? What of doubt or despair have we to feel now? The fact is. victory but waits for us to grasp it.
We have but to come, to conquer. We have but to arouse ourselves, and New York is rescued from the cabals and corruption that overwhelm it. We have but to add New York to the other States. and Van Burenism is dead. The loss of the Empire State the Administration cannot for a moment stand. Here to our joint point of pride and joy to be the story of Ohio. You hunt The picture and let every Whig club put it. Let there to one hand, cave as effort. Whatever may be our destiny, let it not of our homes. point to our district with the finger of scorn, and say we might have done better. It is a shame and a disgrace, that New York should be Loco-foco rated when even Maine is spurning its monstrosities. We speak from knowledge when we say, the redemption of New York is but a slight task, compared with the redemption of Maine. To arms, to arms then, Whigs of the Empire state! The time for action is short. The columns of the adversary are broken open or wavering. One solid charge from us, and New York is ours.
