To such s determination did the people arrive; and when the time came, they expressed it most emphatically through the ballet box. The consequence is, the corrupt politicians who thus abused the confidence reposed in them, will have the felicity of retiring into private life on the first day of January next. Another reason why the democrats have succeeded in the city, is the manliness and straight-‘orward- ness with which they denounced abolitionism and abolition agitation, and the open and determined manner in which they upheld, in Tammany Hall, the compromise measures of the last Congress. The wholesome national resolutions passed at tho ratification meeting in that building; on a recent occasion, and the admirable and able speoch deli- vered on the same occasion by Mr. Wm. M. Corry, of Ohio, opened the eyes of the people a3 to who were the friends of the couctry and of the Unio»; and convinced them that, by turning out of power the party that had ruled for two years, they woald set the seal of condemnation on the factionists, who, under the leaiership of demagogues, would lead the country tothe brink of, if not precipitate it into, all the horrors of insurrection and civil war. It is true, the whigs, at a meeting in the Broadway House, came out almost as openly as the democrats did, endorsing the compromise measures and con- demning further slavery agitation; bat they did it in a mean and sneaking manner. Their leaders were not present—they absconded—they dared not commit themselves; and their absonce was not overlook ed by the people. Thus much respecting the result of the eleetion in the city. The whigs, as we have already have carried the State, while in this city, they sac- cecced in electing three of their candidates for the Senato, but lost the rest. How is this to be ac- counted for? Lasily enough. The whigs wore | previously in possession of the State, but the democrats neglected to take proper measures, at their convention in Syracuse, to turn them | out. Under the influence of John Van Buren, they refused to come out manfully in favor of the compromise measures. Instead of pursu- ing the same open, bold and national course which the democrats ef Tammany Hall pur- sued, they shrunk from the issue and sneaked to their homes, conscious of having done wrong, and of having foreaken the interests of their coun- try. Instead of doing what they ought to have done, they imitated the counsels of William H. Seward, and tried as hard as their op- | ponents did to get abolition votes in the cen- tral and western parts of the State. Ina addi. tion to this, the conduct of twe.ve of their Sena- tors during the last session of the Legislature, was unwise, unmarly, and extremely imprudent. We refer to their resigning their seats when the bill f mpleting the enlargement of the cauals was duced.

This was no way of testing the con” ttitutionality of the measure. For these and other things, the democrats have probably lost the State; and they deserved to lose it.

We assure Mr. Barnum and the civilized world | that we have no desire to misinterpret his position in relation to the extraordinary, the wonderful, “the notorious Lola Montez,” or to affect the esti- | mation in which either Jenny Lind holds him ia this world, or Joyce Heth holds him in the noxt. We may add, with our hand on our heart, that it is also the furthest from our intention to do aay- thing that may impair the high estimation ia | which he is held by the Happy Family, now being | exhibited in the American Museum—or lessen the interest which may still be felt by Tom Thumb for hig successful political career in Connectisut—or diminish the veneration which the Fejee Mermaid may entertain towards him for past transactions— or even question the reverence which the remains of the Woolly Horse, amidst the geological specimens | Far be it from us to impute anything discreditable | or dishonorable to the distinguished patriot who dug up Joyce Heth from the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, and made a whole nation believ: the out evidence and without affidavit—an amouat | enough to make a new religion, orto set up anew Mahommed.

T am, dear ir, your obed't <err't, | THOS. BARRY. Jat, Gonnes Bassett. Esq | _ By this note, it will appear that Mr. Le Grand | Smith, the well known agent of Mr. Barnum for the Bateman chil in London, opened negotiations with Lola Montez, in order to bring her to this coun- try as one of the greatest notorieties now existing in | Europe. We are informed, from an equally re- spectab'e source, thet Lola Montez declared, in her own apartment, Rue St. Honoré 362, when talking on the subject, and giving @ reason for declining to negotiate with arnum, that she was “humbug enough herself, without uniting her fortunes with the Prince of Humbugs,” Mr. | Barnum, of the United States. This she said, and no deubt she will repeat it when she arriver in this oity, which she will do early next month, to cre- ate a sensation, and te settle accounts with Barnum, herself. She probably thought that Barnum and Lois Montez, two of the greatest hambugs of the age, in ome pill, would be too great a quantity for the generous people of the United States to accept in asingle dore. Hor consideration and good feeling for the American people prompted her, thorefore, to decline the proposition of Le Grand Smith, the agent of Mr. Barnum, in order that she might | pase better muster with the same people, whose | country she worships and adores as the last and best asylum of rejected premiere, unfortunate revola- tioniste, and defeated demovrate, or danveuses, in | Europe. look at all this, and more, and who can wonder | “ring, under oath, that the editor of th’s paper, | & recent visit to Paris.

This is the whole, in a nutshell. I: the statement of Lola Montez, verified by Mr. Barry, | of the Broadway theatre, now in this city, the true version of the whole affair? Or is the solemn affidavit of Mr. Barnum the actual fact in the business? Or _ is there some double or round-about three-cornered | mode ofsolving the difficulty, which may show that ; both are correct in their respective statements ? | This philesophical difficulty must await @ solution until Lola Montez arrives on our shores. In the ; Meantime, we suppose that this very controversy has inereased the public anxiety to see her, and witness wha! this extraordinary woman is capable of doing. Mr. Barnum himself calls her a great notoriety; and in a letter on the subject, he says, | “Lola, if rightly managed, will draw immensely here”—thus giving her a certificate in advance, tho original of which is, we believe, in the possession | of the celebrated danseuse herself. One thing, how- | ever, is certain. Barnum is not aware of the talent, the versatility, and the tremendous sieam-poWer and galvanio force of this same Lola Montes. When she comes to this country, if she does not “annihi- lete” Barnum, we shal! be very much surprised. He had better get his life and limbs insured atonce. Af ter she has run her theatrical career, she may take it into her head to follow the example which Barnum himself set in beginning of his career with Joyce Heth, and ending it as a temperance lecturer, member of the church, a builder of sacred edifices, and a candidate for the Governorship of Connesti- cus Who knows but that Lola Montez may join the same church with Barnum, deliver lectures on temperance in opposition to Barnum, give and take pledgea—for she has given and taken mapy in her day-and thus beat him at ail points and ia all the tacks he may pursue? She is tall, elegant and Jady-like—speaks seven languages—is mistress of the politics and policy of European monarchs—and when she gets tired of dancing, could give lectures on European affairs, in any languago, that would beat these of any lecturer anywhere round about the country. After setting forth, by undoubted evidence, the good faith and accurasy of our information in rela tion to Barnum, we hope and trust he will seize a proper oczasion to take back the injurieas imputa- tions which his fervent piety and purity of charac- ter permitted him to make in his solemn affidavit. He will stand better, by doing this, with all the cele- britfes, living and dead, from Joyce Heth down to Lola Montez—and if the notorious Lola—the won- derful Lola—the king-enchanting , Lola—should threaten to annihilate the Napoleon of showmen, for questioning her veracity, we shall step forward ard intercede for his further existence, as an act of charity and mercy. Proresson PaGe axp wis ELEctRo-Magnetic MacnINE are just now attracting a good deal of notice and eulogiom from our city cotemporaries. According to the information in our possession, Pro- fessor Page ie a man of science, and a persevering experimenter apon his favorite idea. He hasehown as much perseverance in prosecuting it, as was ever | displayed by any man w'th the unfortunate kink in | bis head of perpetual metion, or squaring the circle, or the navigation of balloons against a strong nor- wester. We doubt not Professor Page is a worthy man, but one of those mechanical enthusiasts who only require a fulerum to turn the north pole to the sun. He bas been et this electromagnetic ma- chine for several years. Some three years ago, at Washirg‘on, he contrived to work a small cinting press with it. Senator Benton, (now ex-Senator Benten,) was called in to see it work. He was as much taken with it as if be had beex magnetized; he etood as mute as if struck bylightning. In fact, the magnetism bad taken effect, and he was struck by the lightning. The problem was solved. He Lad seen the wonders of the lightning telegraph; and afer having seen a message, which left Wash- ington at twelve o'clock, arrive in St. Louis at eleven o'clock, or an hour before i: started, he could believe anything. He had seen this fact. Itwas strange. Butfactsarestubborn things. The telegiaph bad stumped him. He conld be- lieve anythirg of the lightning after that. And s0, the very next day, im the Senate, | electro-magnetic machine, he described the inven- tion, its wonderful achievements, and moved an item of $20,000 to aid Professor Page in bringing his invention to practical perfection. The appro- priation was passed. The wisdom of Old Bullion on | eclentific subjects was always respected by the Bible. He bas charged us with saying what we | believed to be untrue, because we stated that we | | all unsolicited on our part, and casually ex- | | was currently believed in Paris and London, is dis- | tant; but, fortunately, we have, in the following | letter from Mr. Barry, of the Broadway theatre, in | 1 beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your | The rumor that the Countesse de | | Senate. They knew that he was not to be hum- bugged. Professor Page went on with his work; bat bis chemical batteries, and magnets, and what not, were expensive; and at the next session, Mr. Benton ventured to ask an appropriation of $40,000. He was satiefied that that would do. But the Senate began to waver, and the money was refused. Professor Page persevered, however; and we think it was last spring that he put his elestro-magne:ic engine and machinery into a railroad car, at Wash- ington, and ran it out five miles to Bladensburg, with a lot of passengers, at the rate of some seven miles an hour. But some of the clay-built cells | containing the chemicals, ruptured on the way, from the jostling, and the return trip, although on & desvending grade, was so slow as to require a scientific explanation. Such, we understand, were the results of the ap" plication of Professor Page's electromagnetic en. gine in practical experiments. We further under- | stand that the principles of working this engine being cetabliched, it only requires an enlargement | of the magnetic batveries, and the chemicals sap- plying it with the electric fluid, to render it efficient for purpoees of steam navigation. But the great \ : | difficulty is, that the power obtained is not commen- | surate with the cost. Nor have we yet been aszur- ed that the steamship Baltic woald hold the eleetro magnetic mater'als necessary to give her | one-fith part of the speed of her steam engines. | lv is mos: likely, then, that while this elestro-mag- netic engine may answer for the amusement of scientific societies, and the illustration of svientific | pw jectures, it can never be applied as a substitute | for steam, for any practical objects whatever. We seriously doubt whether all the newspaper puffing in the world will amount to anything, without some practical results, in obtaining anether appropria- from Congress. The theory of the electromag. netie machine may be as unanswerable as the thecry | Of thy annihilato:; bus theory is mere moon- | chine w.thout practical results.

Though net by any means 90 crowded as on the opening night, the house was well filled with a fashionable, intelligent, and discriminating audience. Never, perhaps, did any Opere come off at that theatre with greater éclat. It was one continued triumph of lyric art, There was quite an excitement produced. Stefflanone excelled all former efforts, and the best judges declared they never heard her sing #0 well before, She was ably supported by Bet- tini and Badiali. Im fact, it would be difficult to get three better singers together in one piece. Steffanone, in the opening scenes, did not give promise of the effests she was afterwards to produce. Whether it was that she had | not a yet warmed to her part, or that she designedly re- served herself, she wag rather dull and spiritless, at first, | and her success was, therefore, the more striking, when she came out eo triumphantly in the great scenes. In the second act she made some hits, and was calied out et the end of it. But it was im the next act she triumphed.

Operations in Erie, on time, buyer's option, were larger, anda steady improvement was realized from the opening. Reading Railroad hae been much depressed to-day, and large lots changed hands. The probability of receiving no dividend ir January next, has disheartened holders, and we have no doubt a great deal of stock will ebange hands during the next six weeks. Norwich and Worcester opened below prices current yestercay but the market soon rallied, aud the demand was quite active, at an advance of one percent, The purchases were principally for cash, and’ holders exhibited nc diepesition to sell on time, option either way. It hasbeen pretty clearly ehowa that the tock, at present prices, is an eight per cent investment. andthe margin for improvement cannot long remain uncovered. Stonipgtom Railroad has advanced consider- ably, to day, under the influence of a semi-annual divi- nd of two ands half per cent. Harlem Railroad does Bot move up #0 steadily as we have anticipated. The daily operations in the stock are large—the earnings 02 the read considerably in advance of the estimate—the finances of the company never in a sounder or better condition, and we eee no reason in the world why ‘he market price of shares should not appre- ciate. The per cent increase in earnings, comparec . with last year, is greater than any other railroad directly connected with this city, and its dividends will, frone this time out, be equal to the legal rate of interest. No one can doubt the ultimate great produoctivencss of thie work. Its prospects are more flattering than those of any cther road in the country.
