The event answered the predic- tion with a degree of accuracy and exactness that almost astonished ourself, as it did the public. Yet we pretend to no superior sagacity in these matters —nothing but what is the general result of indus- try, carefulness, accuracy, impartiality, and a total independence of all partizan feeling towards any side. The result of all this ten year’s study of po- litical statistics and political philosophy, has esta- blished in our mind the incontrovertible fact that the issue of every presidential election in this country may be ‘reasonably anticipated by every mind of common sense and common honesty. Tn the last election, no one standing aloof from party prejudices and party feelings, could have de- ceived himself as to the result, if he only partially looked at the events taking place before his eyes all over the country, previous to the month of No- vember. The two great parties were marshalled, each under its candidate, Mr. Polk onone side and Mr. Clay on the other. But that contest, which, had it taken place in the spring of the year, might have resulted in favor of Mr. Clay, was by a com- bination of disturbing causes, decided by the nar- rowest possible majority in favor of Mr. Poik.— ‘These disturbing causes were the abolition move- ment andthe “ Native” movement. The aboli- tionists organized in the Northern States,under the agitation produced by some of the Whig members, and Mr. John Quincy Adams in_ particular, during the last four years in Congress, formed a par- ty of sixty thousand voters, three-fourths of whom, according to the best calculations, had been whigs. This very considerable abstraction from the main body of Mr. Clay’s supporters, would, of itself, have sufficed to jeopardize his election ; but when there was added to that the “native” movement, in the great and influential cities of Philadelphia and New York, which had been fostered and fanned by the whig politicians and whig journals in these neighborhoods, the chances against Mr. Clay beeame seriously augmented. That ‘‘na- tive” movement created a spirit of alarm and doubt in the minds of probably four hundred thou- sand naturalized citizens, scattered throughout the country, and caused another very considerable ab- straction from the whig ranks, to the detriment of Mr. Clay, and in favor of Mr. Polk. These dis turbing causes had their origin in the violence, folly, and stupidity of many of the whigs themselves, in reference to Southern institutions, in the Congress of the United States, and in their illiberal and un- justifiable prejudices, and anti-American feelings towards certain classes of their fellow-citizens. Yet we believe, judging from the present position of aflairs, and looking upon the strange but not unexpected division which hastaken place between the Northern and Southern democracy, that the elements of a counter revolution are now at work throughout this Union, which will result in a most extraordinary triumph to the whigs, or opposition party, in 1848. The whigs asa party are united, and form a more compact mass than the demo- crats.

We believe that the Recorder was perfectly right. Under the cry of temperance, sobriety, morality, water-drinking, amd superior sanctity, the present corporation came into power, but during their reign we have had a most frightful increase of gambling, debauchery, drunkenness and vice, in consequence of their giving licenses to disreputable characters. The only attempt they made at reform in this de- partment was the impudent and discreditable an- noyance given to a few of the respectable hotels in Broadway for selling liquors on Sundays. The Recorder remarked on this occasion, that the Cor- poration should have been indicted, and mot the man before the Court. A true sentiment and worthily spoken. — Spienpiw “ Native” Sreich Ripe.—A splendid sleighing party set out from the City Hall on Satur- day last, consisting of the whole of the ‘ Native” party, which actually filled six or seven sleighs.— About a year ago this party numbered somewhere about 24,000; it is now reduced to six sleigh loads, according to their own showing. It wasavery beau- titul party, however, “quite illegant,” as one of the spectators, an Srishman, said, all except the sleighs, which were old, shabby, and worn out, lixe some of those who rode in them. However, these gen- tlemen do well to enjoy themselves as much as they can. They are great sticklers for the Bible, and certainly do appear to act upto the spirit of one of the sacred texts—‘¥at, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we die !”” Dinner To Mr. Cusninc.—The merchants of this city intend to give a public dinner to Mr. Cushing, when he visits New York. It will be the most in- teresting affair of the kind that has taken place for years. Mr. Cushing has, indeed, richly earned the esteem and gratitude of his fellow-citizens on ac- count of the manner in which he discharged the important duties of hislate mission. He has done an infinitely greater amount of service to the coun- try than Mr. Webster did by the Ashburton treaty, and stands higher than any e.her manin New Eng- land. The dinner will be a splendid affair, and his speech on the occasion will be of great interest Tue Streets.—There is now every prospect that A b i ’s Circus, Bowsry.—The superior com- the demceracy during the last year—an accident A . voles situation. rope off the mast, leaving the main goff aloft Scud north | the former thinks the latter too cold for that purpose, Tryon’s CUS, I that seems to be very far from taking place again tie ity, wallisoust =: Wares: Con seins tie, featee west, and at Tour o'clock yehipped ‘stsea and lost mainsoil. | whilothe other thinks he should not commit euch an act Bie ot SP ted tae ane pilin Shah lhe months than everit has been.

If the whigs understand their true position—do nothing to give strength or permanence to those two disturbing elements, which injured them so materially in the late elec- tion—we mean the abolition and“ native” move- ments—they can easily overcome those obstacles which may oppose them hereafter, and in 1848 come into the field with a union and a physical force capable of overcoming all difficulties, and defeating with ease adisunited and divided party, as the democrats must be long before that time The struggle at present in the democratic party is for the spoils and the succession. Mr. Polk will have more trouble in his position between these two factions, than even Mr. Tyler had between the struggles of the whigs and democrats, in the extra ession of Congress, and the inevitable result will be a division and separation of these two sections of the democracy, which will give the whigs an easy victory in 1848, until after he becomes @ manager at the least.

But they now order these things differently in New York, and we may now prepare for seeing the streets in a more awful condition than ever. i i it the shroud one side of the foremast.
