The Election.

The result of the election in this city is consoling to the hearts of good federalists and good republicans. Our triumph is signal and complete. Notwithstanding all the intrigue & subterfuge of jacobinsm to keep itself alive in the city, it is prostrate in the dust. The prevarications, the notorious falsehoods, the impudence and presumption of the governour's dictator have met their just recompense. He may now not only estimate the weight of himself in this city among federalists and republicans, but he may also ascertain that his councils, his talents, his efforts, his person, are all unpropitious even to jacobinsm—There are to be found among the party whom we have just vanquished, many respectable members of society. They cannot endure the obtrusion of Binns and a clan whom he keeps about him, as his tools and his flatterers They choose to renounce his dominion. They do honour to their feelings and taste. We do not ask them to renounce their political principles, But we confidently hope that hereafter in cherishing their political feelings and principles, they will not deem it necessary to take on them the yoke of an apostate, It is a fact, as they themselves have fearlessly confessed, that their political party has been ruined by the impertinence of such fellows. No respectable men can put up with their presumption and arrogance.—[Phil. paper.
