Election 1st Monday in January,i860. lev York Municipal Election. ^ buij ncilUJ transpiring throughout the United States, none will be drifted Southward freighted with more interest to the Southern people, than the glorious triumph recently achiev ed by the honest Democratic masses of the city of New York, in the election of Fer nando Wood Mayor of that city, over the m«^lf Republican!: and the intriguing, cor. nipt, Freesoil Tammanyites. We consid er this a victory over treason, insurrec tion and murder, by wisdom, justice and right, and look upon the Black Republi cans and freesoil Tsmm inyites who voted for U>iccmeycr, a renagade democrat who supported Van Burcn in ’48,and Fremont in ’56, as the supporters and cheek by jowl friends of Old Brown, who was hung at Charlestown on the 2d inst, for trying to carry out the principles they now advo cate. The pure Democracy of New York have become aroused by the late insurrec tionary outbreak at Harper’s Ferry, nay, more than this, indignant, and have man ifested their disapproval of this treacher ous act, by a most glorious victory on their part, and routing and defeating the enemies of the Constitution in such a way as to utterly vanquish all liopflf of success fer the future—tlicir money and all their concocted plans and devices uproot ed, and that, too, at headquarters. We regard this election as the dawning of a better day in the Empire State of the U- nion. The vote was as follows: Wood SO, 125, llavetncyer 29,843, Opdyke 21,773. We consider the two latter arrayed against the former, os they both represented the Abolition, Freesoil party of that city.— We recognize in this defeat a triumph of right over wrong, and also gives the South some assurance that there is a party at the North who will stand by her constitu tional rights, and liavc repudiated and denounced those who were in anywise identified with the late attempt at insur rection ; notwithstanding the contest that is now pending in our National Council for the Speakership, which often assumes a hostile feature, yet, they, in the face of all this confusion and strife, have said by their votes, “we do not approve of it— In conclusion, wc say. Hurrah for the lion. Feknasdo Wood and liis patriotic supporters. Congressional. No Speaker lias been elected.

The debate is waxing warm in the House, concerning Helper’s incendiary publication, which was signed by 68 Black Hcpublicanmcin- bers of Congress. In the Senate the de bate on Mr. Mason's resolution, to make a thorough investigation of the Harper's Ferry affair, has not yet come to a close. FTJH AHEAP !—CHRISTMAS IS Coining!

He has leased the above hotel for a length of time, and from his long experience in hotel keeping and the great reputation he has acquired among travellers as an accommodating laudloi d, will secure to this house an immense patronage.

It is upon one or the other, or both, the latter clauses of the Constitution that Gov. Brown has returned to the Legisla ture, with his dissent, the bill passed by that body, pardoning W. A. Choice. It will not be contended that the par don of Choice by the Legislature was un constitutional or that it was hastily done, for it appears that all the evidence was read, in both branches, and that the members discussed the merits of the case, and come to the conclusion under the oaths which they had taken, by a major ity in each of' said branches that the un fortunate convict oijght not to suffer tiic extreme penalty qj^'tlic law. Jlad the General Assenddyi'the right tb ' pardon him ? Let us for.a moment consider flat question. By the Constitution the right to pardon or to remit any-part of a sentence is giv en to the Governor in all eases after con viction, exeept for treason or murder, and this he may do, ho matter what nay he the opinion .or will of the Legislature, whether it l*e in or out of session. Tliat. we take to be a clear proposition ; hut. in tlic ease of treason or murder, the Gov ernor has no such power, hut lias the power to respiteythe execution of a sen tence,, and make report thereof to the next General Assembly, by whom a par- dQn may he granted. Wbat is the de duction to be drawn from tlic grant of power thus given to the General Assem bly? Is it that’with the .assent of the Governor they may grant a pardon ? Is it to be understood that they may not grant a pardon, without tlic concurrence ofthe Governor? ;i Sqcli a construction of that article of the Constitution is wholly ly upon slaveholders and upon their pro perty in negro slaves.

We must, then, acknowledge and acton would for the future secure the peace which . the fact that present relations between the States cannot he permitted longer to exist without abolishing slavery throughout the United States, or compelling us to defend it by force of arms. On the 25th ultimo, I addressed a letter to the President of the United States. On the 29th I received from, him the aecom- has been- disturbed, and guarantee the safety which is threatened. But an entire social and sectional sympathy has incited their crimes, and now rises in rebellion and insnrrectiftn to the height of sustain ing and justifying their enormity. It would hc pusillanimous to shut our eyes and affect not to see certain facts of panying answer to which I have not rc- fearful import which stare ns in the face. and of wbicli I mast speak plainly to you with the firm and manly purpose of meet ing danger, and with no weak and wicked design of exciting agitation. 1 believe in truth, that the very policy of the prime promoters of this apparently mad move ment is purely tentative; to try whether we will face the ilanger which is now seal ed in bloom. If wc “take the dare,” the aggression will become more insolent, and if we do not, it will cither truckle or meet us in open conflict to be subdued,’ and, in citlier event, onr safety and the nationa. |ie:ice will be liest secured by a direct set tlement at once—the sooner the better. The strongest argument against this unnatural war upon negro slavery in one section by another of the same common country, is that it inevitably drives to dis union of the States, embittered with all the vengeful hate of civil war. As that plied, hut upon which I .mast here com ment. He seems to think that the Constitution and laws of the United States do not pro vide authority for the Pr sident to inter- pasc to “repel invasion,” or keep the peace between the States, in Rises where the cit izens of one State invade another State, unless the Executive or Leg slature ofthe State iirvaded applies for protection. 1 dif fer from this opinion. own militia, and they are a thousand fold ample to defend tlieir State. They have had not only to guard their own I order hut to guard in part the arsenai of the If ni ted States. - The President has, however manifested “ a cheerful and cordial” dis- position to defend the place ceded to the United States as Harper’s Ferry; he sent a small guard, as soon as informed that it was unguarded, and has reinforced that guard, “hot only to protect the public property clearly within federal jurisdic tion, hut to prevent the insurgents from seizing the arms in the arsenal at that place, and using them against the troops of Virginia.” “ Besides,” he says, “ it is possible the additional troops may be re quired to act as a pom tom it tvs on the requisition of the Marshal of the United States for the Western District of Virgin ia, to prevent tiie rescue of Stevens, now in his custody, charged with the crime of high treason.” Then, for these objects—1st. To keep anus, of the United States out of the hanca of the invaders of Virginia: and 2d. To act as comitntua” to a U. States Marshal, the land forces of the U. States may lie used; but 3d. Not to prevent “ invasion” of one State by the people of another State. And hc says hc can dis cover nothing in any provision in the Con stitution or laws of the United States which wouldauthorize him to “lakesteps’’ for the purpose of preserving peace between the States, “ by guarding places in sur rounding States which may he occupied as depots and rendezvous by desperado* to invade Virginia.” As 1 understand his interpretation ofthe Constitution anu laws he cannot call forth the mi" tia nor employ the land and naval forces of the U. f tates, “for tills purpose.” ilc says it is the d..- ty of the respective State governments to break up such depots, and to prevent tlieir citizens from making incursions, &c.; hot that if tiie Federal Executive were to en ter these States and perform this duty fer them, it would hc a manifest usurpation of their rights. Were he thus t > act it would he a palpable ipvasion of State sov ereignty, and as a precedent might prove highly dangerous.” Now, this is new doc trine, an 1 teaches even Virginia a lesson of State-rights which destroys her consti tutional guarantees of protect on by the United States against “invasion” by abo lition fanni es fre.u. other Sti t-.s.
