The Elections in Ohio. The telegraphic accounts received yesterday, from Ohio, have sent a thrill of joy throughout the democratic ranks in this city. They run up their flags, illuminated Tammany Hall, and made them- selves happy over the reported election of Weller, for Governor, over the whigs, free soulers, aboli. tionists,&e ,&c. They lost sight of their defeat in Pennsylvania in their success in Ohio. The telegraphic reports of the results of elec- tions sometimes take a wide margin. They fre- quently give us some strange returns. We may, therefore, yet receive different accounts trom Ohio. The latest intelligence by the wires have thrown the whole matter 1n doubt, although the democrats were willing, last evening, to bet largely in favor | ot Weller’s success. But, suppose Wellerjto be elected—what does it indicate? Is not Wellera military man? Was he not at Monterey with General Taylor? Was it not given out, throughout Ohio, before the election, that Ferd, the whig can- didate, was a free soiler, and more in tavor of Van Buren than Taylor? These questions are pertinent. We do not think that the deteat of the whi candidate 1s the absolute and certain loss of that State to Taylor, in November. Military men are popular at the West. The result in Ohio, if it turn out to be true, will give an edge to the coming contest. It will create a bit of enthusiasm in the ranks of the democracy. Many of them had begun to give up in despair;— now they express a hope. They will work the harder, and poll a heavier vote throughout the country. On the whole, it will do no harm. But we refer the public to the telegraphic news m another column. See what the latest des- patches say. A Grance Bryonp THE SeventH or Novex- | ER —The democracy that support Genera! Cass for the Presidency, are very much in the position of the man who was recently caught in the rapids | of Niagara Falls, while the spectators from the shore were astonished at his efforts to reach dry land, and avoid the ternble cataract below. For the next three weeks, they will be strugghng in the rapids of the great political Niagara of 1848, Wedoubt if anything can save them. General ‘Taylor’s election 18 almost certain. That being the case, the mind glances over the actual results of the seventh of November next, and contemplates and speculates on what may be the political topics of the day. The first question that recurs 1s, who will form the new cabinet, and what will be the complexion of sts measures? According to all appearances, the selection of the cabinet, by the new President, now coming into office by an over- whelming majority, will receive its direction, a great deal, from the events preceding the election, Mr. Crittenden, now Governor of Kentucky, may, if he choose, very likely be the premier of the new administration, or the Secretary of State. Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, would make an excej- lent Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Mangum, of North Carolina, would make an admurable Secre- tary of War, or of the Navy. The other Secre- taries may be taken from other portions of the Union. We doubt whether any of them will geome from New York. Perhaps some great appoint- ‘ment may be made from New England politicians, but itis not probable that Mr. Webster will be- come a member of the cabinet. He may, how- ever, be appointed Minister to /ngland, and that position would perhaps please him better than any other, He would be in his element among the great lawyers 74 conservative leaders of the British capital. He might eat and drink, | and enjoy himself, very well for eight years, for we will give General Taylor a re- election, as well as a triumph, over Gene- ral Cass. The other appointments we shall speculate upon at our leisure. It is not probable, however, that as many changes will be made by General Taylor as the whigs may wish. With regard to measures, there 1s every appear- ance that the whigs will endeavor to revolutionize the policy that has prevailed for the last few years. When Genera) Harrison got into power, he was prevailed upon to call an extra seseion ; but that extra session, and the measures that were passed during its continuance, laid the foundation of the defeat of the whig yarty in the succeeding Presi- dential contest. We doubt whether Genera] ‘Taylor will follow General Jlarrison’s example in this respect; and if any attempt be made to ereate a new bank, or to alter materially the inter- nal policy of the country, there will be strong oppo- sition to it, even from among many of his own sup- porters, The new President will be considered the head of a new era; and any revival of the old issues, on which the whig party have been wreck- ed tor twenty-five years past, will be resisted with ® greater force than many of the old whigs ima- gine. Inthe meantime, stragglers from al! parties are travelling over to the Taylor camp, so as to increase the momentum of the great rush with which the democrats are going over the political gara Falls of the year 1848. Berrien Wast Invies.—The bark Montezuma, Capt. Ruodes, arrived yesterday from Demarara, wats NOMINATIONS POR” YE Crvy.—Several conventi: ns of the Whig party, in this city, have ‘peen held within a few days, at which nominations for members of Congress, in some ot the districts formed out of several of the wards, were made. In the lower district, Mr. Phoomx has been nomi- nated, and will probably be elected. He isneither popular ner unpopular, but quiet and respectable. | He will excite " great hostility, or create any great enthusiasm. He is a tolerable man on a committee—no great speaker, and will make a sort of average sized member of Congress. Several districts have not yet made their nomi- | nations, but the up-town, or sixth Congressional district, has nominated James Monroe for the re- mainder of the term, and James Brooks, of the Express, for next Congress. Col. Monroe 1s a popular, worthy, acave, bustling, interesting, and amusing candidate. He is a very honorable man, served many years in the army, and will, no doubt, go 1a with a rush. Mr. Brooks is altogether a dif- ferent sort of personage. Up tothe nomination of | General Taylor, in June last, he, as editor of that republication of other papers, denominated the Express, was one of the most bitter and vindictive antagonists that old Rough and Ready had in the North. For months and months, his. journal teemed with articles, original and communicated, denying to General Taylor every attribute of good sense, sagacity, or statesmanship. Even asa brave and successful military chieftian, he was underrated to a most remarkable extent, and ranked under a great many other military men of the day. It is, probably, in reference to the con- tinued hostility exhibited by Mr. Brooks to Gen. Taylor and his destiny, that the Courier and En- qutrer had a very severe and pungent article yester- day, reproving and condemning any such nomina- tion by any portion of the whig party in this city professing to support Gen. Taylor for the Pre- sidency. Perhaps Col. Webb would himself like to be nominated for Congress, and if he were, and could be elected, he would-no doubt make as good a Congressman as many of those who are sent there, and better than some. We think, however, that itis ungenerous in the Courter and Enquirer to visit too severely the former folly and opposition of Mr. Brooks, on the subject of Gen: Taylor’s qualifications. We believe that he is now a repentant sinner, doing penance every day for his want of sagacity and discernment during the last two years, relative to the merits of the hero of Buena Vista. There is, however, another reason that weighs very much with us in the no- mination of Mr. Brooks, and our wishing him to be elected to Congress. He makes a miserable editor, having conducted for several years a mise- rable journal, made up of extracts, and stealings, and pickings, from every newspaper of greater enterprise and brighter intellect. His qualifica- tions have injured his newspaper establishment, and we believe it would be an act of charity to elect him to Congress, in order that he might be 1n a position to get some office from the generosity of General Taylor, as a refuge for him when the Express is ready to give up the ghost, whick it will probably do in a short time. We are, therefore, in favor of the nomination and election of Mr. Brooks, and think that he would make as good a member of Congress as one-half of the men that are sent there. He wants ongin- ality, a knowledge-of human nature, greatness of intellect, and energy and enterprise sufficient to make him an editor capable for the metropolis of this country; but, in the absenee of such qualities in him, he1s good enough to make a member of Congress, or to be a respectable charge on a mission, or consul in a foreign port, or even @ post-master in some second-rate town, where he could be buried decently, and prevent the ca- tastrophe which promises to befall the newspaper which he conducts. We beg, therefore, of our cotemporary, the Courier and Enguirer, to review his position, and join with us in concurring in his nomination, Joun Van Buren anp THE FREE Sort Move- ment.—John Van Buren is preparing to visit Ohio, | during the next three weeks, in order to aid and assist the grand free soil movement there, favor- able to the venerable sage of Kinderhook.. We | have not heard uf the movements of the other great abolition orator, we mean Fred. Douglas, but we suppose he intends to come over the mountains, to aid in the great work of elevating his brotherhood from the occupation of barbers and bootblacks, to that of politicians and manufacturefs. The truth 1s, this great free soil movement is beginning to bea curious afiair. The recent revolution in the politics of Pennsylvania has thrown great light over the efforts and success of John Van Buren’s coadjutors. John has, no doubt, in origina- tung that movement, produced a great disturbance among the old and rotten democracy. ‘Lhe free soil a prodigious influence, from the agitation of the subject; but we suspect that it will, in this election, be buried and forgotten. It 1s probable, according to all appearances, that the Van Buren electoral ucket, in the free States, may get a con- siderable increase over the nun.ber of votes thrown for Mr. Birney, four years ago; but it is doubtful whether it will get as many as one hundred thou- sand in all the free States, as matters now stand. Yet the movement has benefited the cause of Gen. Taylor in the North, and almost settled the final exclusion of slavery from New Mexico and Cali- fornia. The whigs have assumed strongly the ground which the barnburners have taken, and probably they are better entitled to the paternity of thai feeling than John Van Buren and his friends are. It certainly was a portion of the old whig party that started the abolition movement in 1844, by which Mr. Polk was elected, and Mr. Clay defeated. If the friends ot Mr. Birney, in that election, had voted for Mr. Clay, they nught have defeated Mr. Polk, and, peregs eee the annexation of Texas, and all that has tollowed from it. There is, therefore, no novelty in the agitation of the free soil movement of the present day by the barmburners, it is inczel¥ @ slice of the seme sentiment which has animated the whig party for many years past; and in the present con- test the whigs seem to be resuming their old ground, and will probably claim their own forces, and then be able to defeat not only the democracy, but the barnburners besides, France.—Next News rrom Evrore.—Every arrival from Europe will be now interesting, par- ticularly im relaticn to France. The affairs ot that country were ina remarkable state of transition at the Jast accounts. The National Assembly were discussing the new constitution ; but there 1s a constitution which regulates the affaire of that re- public, more deeply and more strongly than any paper charter which that, or any other assembly, can put forth. We mean the spirit of the age, and the sentiment of the great masses of that re- public. Lamartine’s provisional government lasted only a few months, in consequence of not tollow- ing the spirit of the age and the impulses of the French people, in relation to its foreign aflairs. General Cavaignac’s government—stronger, more resolute, and more powerful, than Lamartine’s— may last a little while longer, if it be condueted on its present platiorm; but we doubt very much if it can last six months more. The tendeney of the French mind is propagandism. That wat ‘the de- velopement of the first republic; and, with tore hostility, and a greater degree of enlight#iment, the sentiment ot the natien exists now as strongly in favor of spreading that principle over the conti- nent, as it did at the close of the last century The men of business, the merchants, the bankers, the lazy politicians, who stand still there, maygen- deavor to stop the progress of republicanism, in its wish to aid and assi-t the democratic feeling 1a Germany and Italy; but the French mind will overrule all those influences ; and any government in France which desires to exist, or be stable, must follow the foreign, policy of the republic, or be swept from power, in one way or another.

If there existed any doubt of her popularity in the mind of the charming benefi- ciary, amore complete assurance could not be needed than she must have received on this occasion, that she is firmly established in the favor of the public. The new piece, “La Sfogato,”’ contains some excellent points and home-thri at the affectation of the quasi admirers of every thing fore! to our own lan- 8 in yooal music. The evening's amusement aside from those in which Mad. B. appeared, were of an excellent character. The farce of ‘Somebody Else,” in which Mr. Dawson, Miss Rose Telbin, Miss Wolcot, and Mr. Clarke appeared, was well got ma nd well played, Mise Telbin, im the character of Minnie, acquitted herself so as to excite new feelings of admi- ration in her friends, while the rest of the cast was itable to all concerned. The concluding piece of ning, as set down in the bill, was “ 40 and 50,” ce always well received when performed by the wnt cast—Mr. Gilbert as Mr. Lillywhite, Mrs. ilbert as Mrs. Lillywhite. with Mr. Dawson as Alta- mont, and Mrs. Walcot as Clementine. “ La, Sfogato,”” is to be repeated to-night. Bowery Tuxatre.—The patronage extended to_ wards this house is of that stesdy, continuous kind, that it is uniformly well attended; fine weather or foul, busy times or dull ones, it is always the same at this house ; and, moreover, the attractions set forth are always of the most sterling kind. During the past week ‘‘ Rookwood’? has been performed every evening with the greatest eclat, and the ballet poring of Sig- xora Ciocca, Signor Neri and Mr. G. W. Smith, has likewise been quite a prominent feature in the attrac- tions. Mr. Brown and his 1d Gazelle, are the ad- d the perfect manner in which got up, is much to the cre- ge manager, Mr. Stevenm As for the Dallet, we can only say that it is presented in trul, magnificent style; the chief performers are most emi- nent in their line, and the corps de ballet, dresses, scenery, & , are allin perfect keeping. At few thea- tres, probably, can so much delightful amusement be bad for such a trifling admission fee, and no house can Loast of more respectable and genteel audiences. The aecommodations for visitors are all excellen’, and the civility and politeness of the box keepers and other officers of the Louse make it very pleasant to those who take ladies, as well as to every one who enters the house, Thus, with an enterprising manager, an ex- cell beautiful theatre, first-rate per- formances, and fine accommodations for visitors, it is not surprising that the Bowery is as well patronised asit ie. To-night “ Rookwood,” the ballet of “Nina,” and ie comedy of “Charles the Twelth,’’ will form the Broapway Turatne.—Tuinp Nignt or THE Orrna, The untiring interest which has ever distinguished the reception and performance of the beautiful and spright- ly opera of the “Bohemfan Girl,” excited, last night, a more than usual enthusiasm at the Broadway. We found an audience not only numerous, but evidently comprising the taste and talent of the city—a conclu- sive illustration of the fact, that an opera, abounding with the finest gems of musical genius, will be ever welcome to the public, in the hands of talented artists, no matter how ofteniepeated ‘The established repu- tation of the Seguins puts it beyond our reach to add further embellishments to the professional lustre that seems to admit of no eclipse, and, therefore, in bearing testimony to their merits, we have only tor-trace their first, and earliest, ahd most successful steps in the ladder of their present prominent and lofty Position; but another duty devolves upon us. Webave to scrutinize the merits of thore who have supplanted the talent that firet assisted the Seguins; firet developed the fascinating charms of the English opera. They are succeeded by no less competent and eminently successful artists. Mr. Reeves, who had much devolved on him, during the evening, was sel- dom heard to greater advantage; his distinct intona- tion and splendid organ, constituted some of the ma- teriel which contributed to the great success of the occasion. Mr. Leach, gifted with a very fine voice, sung with a purity and truth of tone, and a refined delicacy, that enables him todo justice to his subject. Mrs.Phillips was clear and accurate in her vocalization. The chorusses, by no means an inferior feature in an opera, were finely sung, and ably accompanied; and Mr. Chubb, with his excellent judgment and skill, left nothing unaccomplished. as far asrelates io the trying offices of leader and conductor. This evening the favorite opera of “ La Sonnambula” will be performed. Narsoxat TueaTne.—The burlesque draws well, and bids fair to have a long run; indeed, everything | that is produced at the National does well, as the greatest care is taken todo full justice to it by the company, who, take them all in all, areas talented a set of performers as are to be met with now-a-days as- rembledin one company. Chanfrau ise host in him- self. We hope that he will act often during this sea- son, for he is abundantly capable of playing a large round 1 characters; and though his Mose is the most perfect personation we have ever seen, and shows his great talent for acting, we would not have him rest | his fame on it alone, but show the public that that is | only one of the good characters hecan play. His act- ing in the burlesque is something extraordinary, and the man who cun s0 closely and accurately copy | others as be does, is capable of much in the dramatic live, eepecially when gifted with the intellect and | judgment which Chanfrau posserses. The house was crowded last evening as usual. Such a continuous run cf crowded houses has probably never before been seen | | at any theatre in New York, and all this success, far from rendering the manager careless, only increases his activity to please his patrons. The biil this even- ing will consist 6f the burlerque of * Mr. MoGreedy.”” the “ Mysteries and Miseries.”* (for the last fime,) and the drama of the‘ Lost Son.” Mr. Cartlitch will play | the part of Luke in the last piece. His performance of this part last evening was most successful, and we can assure those who have not seen it, that it is well worth a visit. | Bunton’s Tueatne.—The excellence and superior- | ity of Mr. Burton’s acting is eminently displayed in | such pieces as ‘Poor Pillicoddy,” which was performed last evening. Wedo not think there isan actor on ‘any stage who could surpass Mr. Burton as Poor Pilli- coddy, or Captain Cuttle. This rich and lively farce was succeeded by “New York in Slices,” a drama upon which we have already passed a flattering encomium, and which, (having seen it again last night,) we cor- dially repeat and redouble. This local piece is really a very clever and amusing thing. Some of the charac+ ters— erpecially the b’hoys and g’hais—are quite strik- ing, and draw down great applause, The scenery is moet beautiful, and the scenes of life it represents most faithful and impressive. There is a more and a lesson in it, It was quite solemn and striking, to see the sudden change in the audience, from laughter and | Merriment, to sympathy and pity, when tho terri- fle representation cf dissipation, death, and ruin came forward on the scene. Mr. Lynne here perform. ed the part ofthe ruined drunkard with heart-reud. ing fidelity, Mrs, Knight was no less true in her de- lineation of the unbappy wife and mother.

The performances of horsemanship and gymnastic feats were conducted with great skill and elegance in each department, and greeted with the approbation of all present, For the last five years a place of amusement like this, only fre- quented by good company, and where the elegant equestrian art was to be practised, was much wanted by the people of our community, and great praise is due to Messrs. Tryon and Thompson for the taste in which they have fitted up the old Alhambra. The lit- tle Beb Williams is a very wonderfal enfant prodige, and will undoubtedly attain a high rank in his pro- fession. The British Acrobats are also very astonish- ing, but the by M.

Cunisty’s Minstrexs will to-day concert in addition to their usualevening one. This afternoon concert is most convenient for family par- ties who do not like to face the night air, and the pro- for it is as full and entertaining as that of the evening one. Of the merit of Christy’s Minstrels we have spoken so often and so fully that we need not now ~ 4 farther on thi jubject. They have made for mselves a name and reputation which extends all over the Union, and their concerts every evening serve to keep this fame up to the standard.

Those of the burning of the East India ship, the Kent, the perilous ascent and descent of Mr Gypson’s balloon, the splendid likeness of Pope Pius the Ninth, and the various other representations, are nightly viewed with delight by large audiences. The astronomical dia- grams, sleight-of-band performances, and other enter- tainments, render this exhibition's most pleasing one. Granania Musicat Society, Tanernactr —These distinguished performers, whose reputation crescit eundo, gave, last night, their fourth concert, which was well nded. They appeared, as usual, with a pro- gramme comprising the lovliest selections, from the and were best masters of Germany, France, and Ital; received with the utmost appreciation by all present The overture of “Der Freischutz,"” by Weber, was ren- dered with the greatest ability ; and tl Polka Kas- thinks,” by Strauss also highly pleased Herold, a splendid piece, which nounced, by t of the regret M y is generally pro- jovera of music, as the chef-d’euvre composer.

Sporting Intelligence. Usiox Course, L, I—Trorrixe.—The attendance at the Union Course, yesterday, was not so large as the occasion warranted; still there were reveral hundred of the choice spirits of the turf on the track, and a right merry day they made of it, The sports an- nounced were a contest between b. g Jack Rossiter, (of Chicago,) and b.m, Lady Moscow, for « $200 purse, mile heats, best in five; and a match for $500 between br. m. Virginia Maid, and s.g. Trustee, three mile heats, in harness, The first affair was decided in one heat, caused by an accident to one of the fore legs of Lady Moscow, which was #0 serious that it was with difficulty that she was taken from the track. The na- ture of the injury was not ascertained. The threo mile match gave much satisfaction to all present, not- withstanding that the last heat was trotted i e dark, The betting om the contest for the purse was very brisk, Lady Moscow being the favorite at 100 to €0." Jack Rossiter is one of the prettiest and moet stylish horses that the trotting track, at the preseut day, can boast of | and in point of speed, he haa no superior. But to the contest :—Jack Rossiter won the choice of track. They started finely together rapid rate; but going round the upper turn, exhibited a superiority ofspeed, and drew away a abead of the horse, which she held past the quarter pole—time 40 seconds—and increased down the back stretch, On nearing the half mile pole, the horae be- gan closing with her; but she appeared to be going so easily, that 100 to 40 was offered on her. She was a length ahead at the half, Time, 1:17. Round the lower turn the mare began to falter and drop off, giv. ing the horse the lead.

TxottiNc Matcn.—The betting on the match be- tween Trustee and Virginia Maid was very spirited the latter being the favorite at 100 to 80. ‘The hors: were in excellent condition, the track good, and, as consequence, a number of bets on time took place 8:15 being the gcale that weighed the “tin.” First Heat.—At about the twentieth (more or less) attempt, they went off together; but before they got through the’ drawgate, Trustee broke up and fell off three or four lengths, in which position he lay, until coming up the home stretch he gained on the mare, and she passed the stand by a length only in 2:46. On the next mile there was no variation whatever; ‘Trus- tee trailed her throughout, and the passed the stand jn 5:20. In making the turn on the third mite, Trus- tee broke up and fell off six or seven lengths, which he was afterward: unable to regain, and the mare won the heat by thirty yards, Time,8'13. The aunounce ment of the judges of 8:16 was am error, and rather a serious one, too, to some of those who bet on tine Second Heat.— Trustee started with a lend of about three lengths, but he broke, and fell off five or six lengths before he reached the quarter pole. He then became very steady, and made @ vigorous effort to overtake the mare ; but as she, too, was steady, and going at an excellent gait, he gained nothing on the firet mile. She paseed the rtand thirty yards in front of him, in Going to the first quarter of the next mile, the mare appeared to be leaving him still further behind ; but getting into straight work on the back stretch, Trustee began closing gradually. and when the mare passed the stand. he was but two or three lengths in the rear. Time, 5:40 Trustee now in creased his speed, and, on the back etretch, took sides with the mare. At the half mile pole, his head was in front. and thence to the end of the heat. the race was his without effort, the mare being completely tired out. He won by thirty yards, Time, 8:28%;. The judges called the time 6:32 Third Heat.—It was quite dark when the horses started for this heat, and nothing was known of them from the time they left untfl they came round to the starting point again. Trustee came first, and left again several seconds before the mare mafte Her appear- ance ; and he came tothe stand the second and third times without her, winning the heat and money with the utmost ease.
