Nearly every politician on Wednesday evening seemed to admit the election of Seymour, the democratic candidate for Governor; but a few hours turned the tatles, and we are now enabled to present re- ported majorities from all the counties in the State, except three, which, we think, may in the main be relied upon. If correct, or nearly so, they settle the question ef the election of Governor in favor ef Weshington Hunt, the whig candidate, by a very small majority,--probably about one thousand. With regard to the Lieutenant Governor, it is dif- fieult to form an opinion ; but our impressions are ¢ extra vote obtained for Mr. Cornell, in this y and other places where the Union ticket has teen supported, will not be sufficient to overbalance tbe enti-rent and abolition vote given to the demo- cratic candidate, Sanford E. Church, in the interior of the State. Mr. Blakely, the whig candidate for Canal Com- missioner, was adopted by the anti-renters, but there is very little probability of his election. In- deed, if Mr. Hunt is elected Governor, the chances | are that he is the only whig on the State ticket whe is not defeated. The whigs entered into the gnbernatorial elec- won under much more favorable auspices than the democrats. While the candidate of the latter was bat little known to the people, having only appeared in publie life as a member of the Assembly, and Speaker of that quickly forgotten body, for one session—the whig candidate was _ known throughout the State, having been last year | «lected Comptroller; previous to which, he had been a conspicuous member of Congress from the Niegara district. He had been at one time ade- mocrat, then a conservative, and finally a whig of the modern school, retainiag throughout his poli- | tical changes great personal popularity with all | classes of the people. As the first financial officer of the State, and a member of the Canal Board, the name of Washington Hunt had become as familiar «+ household words, in every city, town, village and hamlet in the State, and along the borders of the eenals and railreads; and when, by general consent of the whigs, he was presented as their candidate for Governor, thousands were prepared 40 echo his name from every hill and valley, to ex- tol him as a second Cliaton, and to urge his election as important to the interests of the State. The democratic party labored under the dis- advantages of an imperfect union of the hunk- ers and barnburners, as was shown by their partiel defeat at the election last year, and great jealousy was felt between the two sections of the party. Under these circumstances, and from the known anti-slavery feeling of the people of the central and western counties of the which had been turned in favor of the Seward section of the whigs, who form the vast majority of that party, very few judges of public oyinion entertained apy serious expectation of the | ion of Seymour, after the nomination of Hunt his associates on the whig State ticket had ite confirmed by the cenvention of national whige at Utica. The remarkable run of Seymour throughout the State, therefore, has astenished our politicians, and many who devired his election asa demonstri tion against abotition, now doubtless regret that they had not joined the Union commercial move- ment at Cactle Garden, which has so nearly, if not e proved successful. That movement was commenced a week or two too late to ensure suc- cese; but those engaged in it, as well as others, can- not now fail to se at had this cuy given the majority for Seymour that was expected from that eperation—say five thousand, instead of the mea- gre one thousand it received—the Union ticket would have been entirely successful in the State, and the influence of this eity felt for a long time to come, a8 a counterpoise to the enti-rent and aboli- gion vote of the interior. As it is, this demonstra- tion of the | may opera dvantageously, by show ing that there is an important balance of poli- tical power resting in this city, to be called fato action on come futur asion With reg he OF ns of the National whigs, or vrays they have been dubbed by the Hon.

An agent of the compeny arrived here in the last steamship from l.urope, te confer with our capital- ists and merchants on the subject.

The banking experience, of the Plainfield and Lehigh stamp, isa very good prelude for president makers. Both trades require an equal amount of principle and interest. They are dete: mined to push forward Sam Houston with @e same ardor and same success with which they pushed into circulation the Plainfield notes and Le- hugh bank bills, which cheated the community, and brought grand juries and endictments into opera- tion. It is very unfortunate, however, for Sam Houston to be first taken up in the North in such quarters. Now that the election is over, the other political cliques and candidates will move. The friends ef Gen. Scottare preparing to bring that great military man out, side by side with Sam Houston. As a patriot and a fighter, Scott has certainly as much experience, as much character, and renown as Sam Houston. Let them all nave a fair chance, and if the friends of Buchanan, Cass, and other candidates, do not stir soon, they will be crowded out of the great railroad train which intends te Jand at the White House in 1852. Tux Law—No Mav’s Conscience Can susTiry its Inrraction.—We refer our readers to the charge of the Hon. Judge Judson, delivered yes- terday to the Grand Jury of the United States Dis- trict Court. It is a good, sensible, matter-of-fact charge, plainly proclaiming to the law-abiding portion of the community that their efforts to sus- tain the constitution will be aided by the authori- ties, and significantly warning the abolitionists against its violation. The Judge reminded them that the laws of Cengress, and all other laws, are binding upon all men, and he tells them that in the harge of their duties as public servants or private citizens, they are bound to believe and know that the consttitution ef the United States, framed as it was in wisdom and patriotism, is their ‘ para- mount” law, and that’ it must guide fand govern every man who has taken his oath for its support. “ No man’s conscience,” says Judge Judson, “can justify its infraction, or excuse its rejection, in whole or in part.” Abolitionists, read,{mark, learn, and beware. A Qvesrion Looxinc Sovura.—What do the Southern Press, at Washington, and the Charlesten Mercury, mean by denouncing the recent Union meeting at Castle Garden, and imputing humbug and deception to that movement? This is precisely an imputation of the same character as that which the abolitionists here of the North charge aguinst the men who got up that assemblage. The 7idune, Evening Post, and New York Sun—all the aboli- tion or nigger organs, of various grades—denounce that meeting as deception, humbug, cotton, cordu. roy, and what not. Are our cotemporaries in ‘Weshington and in South Carolina determined to put down all the efforts of those at the North who have the interests and rights of the South at heart and who are fighting their battles here at an awfu rate? New Jersey Evections anp Rat.roap Monoro- Ly.—The democracy have carried every thing in the recent electionsin New Jersey, and the old whig monepolists"have been entirely defeated throughout the State. Union feeling and free trade have effected wonders. It is now expected that a great and successful effort will be made in the next Legislature of that State, backed by popular opin- ion, to throw off the railroad monopoly, or to mo- dify it atleast. We want, however, to see no vio- lation of vested rights. Let justice be done to all parties, and, while monopoly is abolished, do not injure the just rights of property, or sanction so- cialism, or communism of any kind. Enp or Sociatism anp Fevrierism in Tis Me- TRoroLIS.—One of the results of the recent elec- tions here—principally brought about by the late Union meeting at Castle Garden—is the total de- molition of socialism and Fourierism, as applied to potitieal action in this city. These isms, during the last six or eight months, were set agoing by the Slievegammons of the Tribune. They contriv- ed to precipitate a dozen tailors—ignorant men— into prison for creating a riot, and to set up a few shrewd fellows in co-operative shops, to be used for their own advantage, while the rest of the so- cialists have been thrown overboard, and the whole movement demolished altogether. The few regues have Slievegammoned the many fools and simple- tons. Stizvecammon Ixvivence —Before the Jersey election, old Slievegammon and his man Mike (Richelieu) stumped that State fora week. This is considered a leading cause of the revolution from whiggery to democracy. News From vrore.—The new steamship Africa is not yet in, She is now in her thirteenth day Marine Affairs. Licht Boars. —Much dissatisfaction exists among shipowners and navigators, in regard to the methed adopted in mansging the various light boats around the const. The idea is entertained by many, that the boats often removed from t tions merely to gratify the whim, or soothe the fears of persons having them in charge, The most recent case in- stanced, is the removal of the light boat from Pollock Nip, for thefostensible reason of repairing her, though the bont is said not to betwo years old. The neigh- borhood of Pollock Rip is one ef the most intricate and dangerous to navigate of any on the coast, re- wiring great care and skill on the part of those well acquainted with the various rocks and shoals, even in broad day, to thread the numerous shallow ch with success. Itis the duty of the collectors of the ports to see that the lives and property of our citizens are not triffed with to suit the accommodation of « light. keeper, or any other person, who may prefer to be on shore instead of at bis station, to warn the weary mariner of the hiddem dengers of the deep.

Yeeterdsy morning, after a ebort illness, Mrs, Bell Martin died at the Unjon Place Hotel, in this city, About ten days since} abé arrived in this country from Ireland, having been in a feeble state for about thirty 4 viously, while on shipboard. After leaving the shores of her native country, a premature event brought on # fever and inflammation, from which she ot recovered. Her husband had paid uaremitting attention to h luring the whole of the voyage ; but the want of medical assistance at the dangerous period in her malady, permitted the disease to extend, till it was beyond the skill of our most eminent physicians. On her arrival, apartments were secured for her at the the Union Place Hotel, and, every hour of the day and night, a)l the assistance of Mr. Whoeler, the proprie- tor of the hotel, and of his lady, with that of their servants, has been rendered and with the utmost con- stancy and friendliness. The attentions of the resi- dents at the hotel, also, including several highly dis tinguished families. have been euch as strangers would very strongly appreciate. Mr. Bell Martin has been soothed and consoled in this sudden bereavement by the most tender offices of consolation, and has ex- pressed his deep sense of the kind and hospitable regard of his new. made friends, Mrs, Bell Martin, formerly Miss Martin, was the daughter of the most wealthy com: er in England, and ber husband took her family name by act of Pai Niament. She is the authoress of “ Julia Howard.” (by Mrs. Martin Bell) recently published in this city—a work of very great merit, in which her estates are de- seribed very minutely, while the story is a fine picture of life, This was her last work. She wrote, also, seve- rel other works, most of them im the French language. These will be noticed at some future day, when we shall give a more full account of the deceased. Mre. Bell Martin had large estates in Ireland, sub- ject to the usual misfortunes of such property. Her tenants amounted to as many as twenty thousand, aod her lands included over two hundred thousand acres. The income from the property has been absorbed in $ and removing incumbrances, and the 1s been left to retrench, in some measure, their expenditures. Mr. and Mrs. Martin came to this country, with # view to the ground work of future jiterary works Mrs. Martin, thus, had proposed to add to her fame, by an effort that would eclipse her other productions—but the hand of death has inter- poted. The mind that projected scenes of ideal beauty on the soil of the New Would, bas taken ite flight. it clung to ite tenement of clay, revelling in dreams of fancy and loveliness, even while the body was dead to the pangs of ditoase, and, at last, quietly ascended from ite earthly sphere into the happy hereafter. Mrs. Martin's remains will be placed, temporarily, in a sepulchre, and at a convenient time will be removed across the Atlantic to the family receptacle. Her hus- band has suffered deeply this sudden loss of one whose genias was bis idolatry; but the condolence of 6 has had # soothing effect upon hi dis- and it is to be hoped that time will heal, ensure, the wounds with which he is now severely afficted ‘The Second Appearance of Parodi at the Astor Place Opera House.
