Pe THE GREAT POLITICAL CONTEST OF 1848, The First Blush of the Returns, THE PROBABLE RESULT. The great contest is over. The die is cast, and» uf we can place reliance on the returns which*have States, General Zachary Taylor is elected Presi- dent by an overwhelming majority. Indeed, it been received by telegraph from fourteen different would appear that a hurricane, similar to that which carried General Harrison into the White House in 1840, has swept the country, and made General Taylor our next President by a majority fully as great, if not greater, than that which any President has received in a great number of years, not even excepting that given to General Harri- son. We publish all the returns from different States as far as they came to hand, up to the hour of our going to press. It would appear from them that the election of General Taylor was actually a foregone conclusion, that his election was a pre- determined matter, and that it only required the form of election to make him the next President. Such is the determination that our readers must come to, on examining the tables of returns which we publish in to-day’s paper. Nor can there be much reason to be astonished at this result. For @ quarter ot fa century pist the people of this country have been ruled by the politicians and wire pullers of ell parties, and they were anxious for an opportunity to arise that would enable them to burst the fetters which bound them, and asser their independence of thought and action in their politics. That opportunity arose during the Mexi- can war. The extraordinary gallantry and great mental powers and independence exhibited by General Taylor, pointed him out as a most suitable man to place at the head of our mationai affairs. He was accordingly selected for the office of President by the independent press throughout the country; the New York Herald being the first to nominate him—and the Philadel- phia Convention, from the necessity of the case, re-nominated him, and adopted him as their can- didate. Under these circumstances he was placed before the country as a candidate, in opposition to Gen, Lewis Cass, of Michigan, and the result shows that the independent people of the country ave achieved a most triumphant victory over party, and the wire-pullers of party. ‘The returns which we publish are as perfect as they could be expected to be. They may conflict more or less with the official returne, but we think the general result may be depended upon. It will be seen that Gen. Taylorhas carried the State of New York by a tremendous majority, that the whig vote in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ver- mont, Virginia, Ohio—in fact, im every State heard from, has increased, since the recent State elections, in a remarkable degree ; and that even the strong democratic wards in the city of New York, some of them, have wavered, and others actually gone over to Taylor, by large majorities. This, we believe,w as not expected ; and so grea was the enthusiasm which animated the voters that the fact, alone, of being placed on the Taylor ticket elected men who, under any other circum- stances, would most assuredly have been wofully defeated, such was the prestige of General Taylor. ‘The excitement which prevailed throughou the city, to learn the result, was intense. During the whole evening, and up to a late hour in the might, our office was thronged by eager and anxious enquirers. as far as it could be ascertained, excitement gave When the result was known, way to rejoicing, and the friends of General Tay- jor went home, satisfied that their candidate was elected. We have no time to say more on this subject to-day, further than that, accerding to all appear- ances, General Taylor will be supported in his admintetration by a whig Congress. Arrival oy THE Sovrnernen.—The pioneer of ocean steamers, the Southerner, under command of Capt. Berry, with heraccustomed promptoess and speed, arrived yesterday morning from Charleston, bringing the great Southern mail, two days in ad- vance of the land route. To Captain Berry, who is ever attentive to the press and public, we beg to tender our thanks for the many favors he has shown us during his successful career ia ocean steam navigation.

INCIDENTS OF THE ELECTION. The Effect of the Result in the City, ‘The city was never more quiet, on the oecasion of an important election. than yesterday morning, In most of the upper wards the halfofafull vote was polled before ten o'clock, The friends of the different candidates wore mort untiring their exertions. Even in the Sixth ward every thing was quiet. In the First ward, parties seemed more active thanin any other, At the Third dirtrict poll of that ward, a little fellow, dressed in dt ) phirt, with scarcely an apology for > breeches, made his appearance. Knowing he was to be caught, the distributors of tickets made « rush for Bim--one catching him by the back of the neck, another by the collar, and one hold of each arm—all imploring ‘him to vote on their side. The one who had him by the back of the neck, told him if he would vote for Cass ‘end Butler, he would “pint ’ Another spoke of the free soil ticket as being sure to give hima farm; while another said he had “just as well vote for Old Zack, for he'd be elected any how.” The poor fellow was pulled about for some time, until he declared he would vote any way, if they would only let him alone The idea of the farm pleased him very much; but there was some doubt about thetruth of it. After astruggle for at least a half hour, be came tothe conclusion, that if the first would “pint up,” he would try the hunker ticket. The arrangements were completed, andthe fellow was placed before the inspectors. Here his yote was challenged by both the unsuccessful parties. One of the inspectors asked him where he lived. “Well, now,’'isaid he, ‘I don’t live anywhere in particular: but these fellows say I must vote anyhow’ Another in- apector asked him.if he lived inthe ward. “Well, no, net in particular,’ said he; “I live jest where! can get ajob.”” Another of the inspectors asked him how long he had lived in the city; to which be replied that he had been in the city about three weeks, and came from the western part of York State. The last avowal settled the business; and the poor fellow who had re- ceived such attention, was obliged te move off without voting. or any of that which was to have been “pint- ed up.” Considering the importance of the election, the city was remarkably quiet during the great contest. The only disturbances that occurred were towards the close of the afternoon. Just feed ye on the close, a party of beys from the 4th ward made an attack ona party at the first district of the 6th ward, in which melée a brother of Yankee Sullivan was Rapin a beaten with clubs. Another muss ocourred in the 4t! ward, at the foot of James slip. The police were called, but before arriving, quiet was restored, and all that could be seen were @ few bloody noses and cut heads, Another affray tcok place at the Mercer House, in the 8th ward, which resulted, like the others, in a little flare up, without any arrest being made. A slight muss took place at the district poll in the first ward, held in Broadway, but amounted to only a few knock downs, and all was over. Aman by the name Thomas Sulli- yan was arrested for illegalvoting. It appearah voted in the first district of the 6th ward, and attempting to vote at the third district im the same ward, he was detected by Owen Brennan, conveyed to the police office, and detained. About two o'clock in the afternoon there began to be something of a stir in the Fourthward. At the second district polls there was considerable fighting, which lasted but for a short time. In the Sixth ward, there was more fighting than in any other, though at no time were stones or clnbs used. At the first district polls, corner of Duane and Centre streets, the boys commenced by destroying the booth of the free soilers. This led to some little difficulty, ands man riding by stopped his cari track to see the tun. Scarce had he stopped when ly breaking the carriage ed it, however, the fight was over. hurt, both were taken to the Tombs and locked at. ias- In the Eighth ward, the friends of Walsh and mage done to either party, the bunkers and barnburners had several rounds, Dut coming to the conclusion that the game was not worth the sport, gave up the business in dis- gust. Late in the afternoon, a colored man appeared before the inspectors of the first district of the 4th ward, and handed ia his ballots. His appearance cre- ated considerable discontent; but if he was worth the necessary amount there could be no objection. The inspector asked him—“ What is your name?” The old fellow rolled up his Syes, and drawings long breath, replied,“ Free Soil.” “Ido not ask you which way you vote;” replied the inspector, “but I wish to know what is your name.” “Ob, yah, yab,” sai dat’ what you want—my name’s John Willi: epector then asked him where he lived, number of his houre. He was then swo: put in the boxes. The old man walked off with an air of triumph, amid the anathemas of the white hunkers standing around. ‘After the closing ofthe polls, the greatest anxiety Prevailed among the whigs and hunkers to know the result from the city. The Broadway House, one of the headquarters of the whigs was crowded almost to suffocation. In the centre of the room & worn out b’boy, knownas Polly Parker, stood upon the table tattempting to make a speech.— Scarce had he im when the table was capsized, and poor Polly fell into the arms of Alderman Crolius, One of the bright particular “stars” stepped up and took him by the arm and was about moring off to the lock-up with him, when several voices cried out, “Who wants to take Polly offf Let him try ‘t, we'll show him.” Poll; on rescued from the hands of the officer. While the row was going on, news ar- rived from the 11th ward to the effect that Taylor had 800 majority. ‘Three chi were then given, which ‘were scarcely over, when 00 from the 15th ward,’’ ‘wascried from the door, and in three cheers were given. Returns from almost ty ward arrived al- most simultameously, which gave the city to 1 Taylorby several thousand majority. The cheering was then deafening ; after whic! groans were given for Cass and Butler. Thre: were then given for Anderson and three for Briggs. Alarge ion of the crowd then started for the house of Hamilton Fish. Several democrats, who said they had just left Tammany Hall, entered the house, and upon being asked how the city election had gone, one of them replied, “toh—ll, I hope.” They said all wae gone, and, they believed, from what they had heard, that old Taylor was elected. About haif past nine o'clock, a line of men in double file, reaching from Tammany Hall across the Park to Broadway, moved up townat a quick pace, and ever and anon in the line the curses of one of the number would be hurled upon the Barnburners. At ten, the whigs were marching and huzsaing through every partof the city, while the democrats, under the smarting pangs of defeat. quietly left the streets to meditate berm hopefor the general result in favor of General ass, TAMMANY HALL. Tho excitement in and around Tammany Hall was intense during the evening. From the closing of the polls until a late hour, thousands congregated outsid: , and as soon as the doors were thro’ open, the large room was filled instantaneously, 20 closely packed was it, that iv could not possibiy con- tain fifty additional people. The object of this great rush was to hear the returns from the several wards; end the time that elapsed from the commencément of the meeting until the first returns were received, way occupied by democratic orators in delivering speeches tothe masses before them. The bar-room and com- mittee rooms of that establishment were likewise filled to overflowing. In the latter, the tables usually occu- pied by the sachems were taken possession of by the outsiders, under the mistaken impression that Te- turns would certainly be conveyed to that part of Tam- many Hall before they ‘would be taken to any other. Oocasionally a reporter was seen to take out his note- k and make a memorandum. No sooner was his profession known, than s crowd gathered around bim, aeking him all sorts of questions. ‘Say, my friend,” says one, “ How has the Third district gone? Is Pho- nixelected?”” “Is Law ted in the Sixth ?’’ * Don’t you think Taylor will be eleeted after all?” Another would say, “Now. my friend, 1 am sure you know more than you wish to tell. Do say, is Cass elected ?”’ Such were the questions addressed to the reporter, who, knowing as little about the result as his inte ro- gators, was glad to stick his note book in his pooket, nr etaieeatt ered with perspirati ecasionally, messenger, covered wit! jon and dust, was seen makin, his way to the great room.
