NEW YORK IN FAVOR OF THE NEW TARIFF.

Aware as we have been, from the first, that the so-called federal victory in New York resulted from the short-sighted bargain which the federalists in that State contrived to strike up with a crew of local factions, we yet hardly expected to be able to prove from the official returns of the late election that the Empire State exhibits, even in her last vote, (anti-rentism and abolitionism to the contrary notwithstanding) a clear numerical majority in favor of the tariff of 1846. We have shown how the anti-renters defeated Mr. Wright. But the same anti-renters put the name of Addison Gardiner, the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, on their ticket; though he, as a democrat, in terms rejected their proffered aid. Mr. Gardiner, as is well known, is in favor of the new tariff. John Young is opposed to it. Both being on the anti-rent ticket, Gardiner received in the State at large nearly three thousand votes more than Young. We agree with the Journal of Commerce that this fact shows clearly, (upon the assumption that the election turned upon the tariff question,) that a majority of the people in New York are in favor of the tariff of 1846, and opposed to that of 1842. More than this. The democratic candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, Wright and Gardiner, received at least two thousand more votes than were cast for Young and Fish, the federal candidates for the same office.

But the most conclusive fact yet remains to be stated. It shows beyond all doubt that the popular vote of New York in the last election sustains the new tariff. This fact is found in the official returns of the congressional vote of the State. They are given in the Journal of Commerce, and we will give the statement of the case by that journal in its own words.

"From this conclusion" (that the State of New York is still in favor of the tariff of 1846,) "an appeal will doubtless be taken to the congressional vote. Well, let it be so taken. But first we remark that, by some means or other, the whole anti-rent influence was arrayed against the democratic congressional candidates. Not a democrat is elected to Congress in all Anti-rentdom. Then, again, the split in the democracy affected the congressional ticket very seriously. But, after all is said and done, we are prepared to show that more votes were given for democratic congressmen at the recent election than for whigs. We do not say by whom they were given: some of them, doubtless, were given by whigs. On the other hand, some of the whig congressmen received a large number of democratic votes.

"In the 17th and 18th districts, where there were no federal candidates; many federalists voted for Petrie and Seger, the hunker candidates, as preferable to the burners. But, on the other hand, a portion of democrats in the 22d district voted for Chase, whom we have classed as a federalist, though he is not, but a conservative democrat.
