The New York elections commenced on ic 10ih ins!. Without meaning an appro- I il of all the language of the following lut- j r, which we find in one of our in- st res- j ;ctable cotemporaries, we copy it ori ac- ! >unt cf the facts stated in it. It inay be | :cessary to inform the reader what is j cant by "colonization or squatting inards." According to law no one can vo:e ;cept in the ward in which lit* resides.? j fhen either party find that they have votes spare in any ward, they collect as many 5 they can of voters in that ward who have a fixed habitation, and remove them into ar ;s where parties ar? supposed to bo near' balanced. The growing corruption of jr ci'y elections, and of the morals of a rge class of our city population, pariicu- i xly at the north, woul seem to point out j 10 impolicy of fostering such establishments j 'he dis ribation of the commercial wealth j f ih>?Kcountry into numerous towns though ttended with some disadvantages, would e better for the entire community, if it ould be effected. New York, April 11,1839. Th** political elements howl around us* j ad I have never seen a more savage ex- ! item -ut in the citv. Our Locofoco fellow- J itizens have money enough, ur?> mu l ? nough, and desperate enouih to do any! nd every thing, it appears to me. In the j 2 h ward yesterday, the suburb ward, a J ang of unnaturalized Irishmen committed Lie It brutalities and atroci ies upon Whig oters that they were not only unahle to go ) tii* polls, but were beaten, maimed and nocked down in such a savage manner, iat the Inspectors of bo h parties in th ,-ard united in a call upon the Mayor for pro. sction bv the military* The state of affairs tui ierc was frightful ; but ord?r, I am told, jon irevailsto day. In all the contested wards, ,nl was with the greatest difficulty that tin j. ivil posse preserved the peace, and I v^ry q nuHi fear that the day will not pass ov- r ! vi hout rtos of a serious character. In the ! tu - t i ! __ it!i ward, last night, the Locotocos orose co nto a house where, it is said, a groat many foi iVh^g voters were sleeping, and it is a fact hatlhey jumpeJ on them with great violence, ^ md maimed and mutilated some of them lorribiy. The colonization, or squntfng tn fr( yards' svstem, adopted by both p i rites to iz< arry the doubtful wards and municipal eleo in on, appealing as it does to lamplighters, ,n ratenmen, const ibl-s, every body's interest. lassions, and comprehension, creates in ex:i:ement of a most alarming character. The act s, our city election < xhibits spectacles cc vorse and worse every time it is tried. A 01 peat many of our population hive not been educated to a use of'the ballot box, and do w lot, therefore, exercise their rights with that lv emperance that distinguishes men always labituated to be governed, as well as to j ^ govern.

Dear Sir, The following "Ode to Rum," says the j Virginia Literary Museum, of Nov. 25 1829, 0j first appea red in the Kingham Gazette, of tc Mass., and exhibits considerable talent and power oJ language. It travelled to Germany u and felt accidentally in the hands of Dr. Bier- jr ruara, the accomplished translator of the works a of Caideron do la Barca. By him a singularly faithful translation has been made into the gj German language." c It has also been suggested in relation to n thi? Ode "that it may be a question in philol- , 81 ogy, whether as many significant and ! * appropriate phrases can be accumulated on j > any pleasing subject or virtuous object," and ; that, "if not, the reason may be one founded j in nature, that in this worid, we need the language of reprehension more than that of J commendation." '* The author of a production which bag < attracted such notice is Wm. C. Browne,who ^ was atjthe time of its first appearance, a teach* ^ er of youth in a retired part of Massachusetts, . and is now a talented editor in Boston. His | Ode is, certainly, a fine example of the ex- , | preBsiveneBB of our language ; and until the j I Temperance Reform shall have attained its j j destined universal triumph, it may, doubtless, j 1 bo read with advantage in every meridian, )i the more important lesson it teaches-?ao arfully true to life is the picture, and so often < !as! met with in the original I D. < "O, thoa invisible spirit of Rum ! if tho'i ( * i ad'st no name by which to know thee, wc would 5 ill tho Devil."

This j h portion of the paper will bo aided by numerous ( w selections, not occupying much room, but sure ' bu to be amusing, front English newspapers, of j ^ which a very large supply is received at the j office, including a good many not taken by any j ?pj nflipr establishment. and onlv seen in this 1 * country by some rare chance.. i \ For all ticse varied departments amp'o room j ie secured by the immense size of the present ! {Juj sliest, which for beauty of t\pographieul exe- j Brc cation and general elegance of arrangement, is ' Cru second to none in tho Union. j No Iooh.1 agent* being emp!eyed by tho i gj,c Proprietors, gent email wishing the paper can j (j|0 ardcr it through their Postmasters, or remit by j gw< nail.
