All we can well hope is that they in whose hands is mainly the custody of our currency, will keep it as sound as possible, and as safe as possible, from the innumerable temptations always existing when the -government has great loans in market, or promises a great abundance of Treasury paper in the form ot scrip or notes. tN.

From the National Intelligencer. THE NEW YORK ELECTION. An election was held throughout the State of New York on Tuesday, the 2nd instant, for Members of the State jLegis lature, and for Lieut. Governor, Comp troller, and other Officers of tUe State Go vernment. Both parties, the Whig and Democratic, had regularly nominated can didates for all the offices. The results of this election, so far as they have reached us, are as they will be found stated in an other column. v Though the Whigs have, at this; elec tion, voted probably not far from the whole strength of the Whig party proper, their vote in the city of New York, and in kna ny other districts, has been doubtless swell ed by the votes of not a lew of those who are dissatisfed with the ultraism of the leaders of "the Democracy" on certain prominent questions of National Policy. We do not, therefore, claim the event of this election as purely a Whig triumph. But we do claim it as a triumph of Whig principles over the War and Con quest party over the ruling party in the General Government and a decisive re buke of its plans of " annexation,"- con quest, and dominion, originally devised iand set on foot with a view to the perpet uation of its own political power, without a proper regard to the will of the People or to the interests and true glory of the coun try. That this is the issue upon which the People of New York have, at the late election, pronounced so decisive a verdict, might be presumed even without any spe cial evidence of the fact. But the issues have been fairly stated by public meetings and by the public press of both parties, so as to make it absolutely certain that ne- ml ver, in any thing like so large a commu nity as that of the State of New York, has the event of a General Election turn ed upon a closer statement of the princi ples contended for on each side. We have before us, at this moment, the Albany Argus, (the Central Organ of the Democratic party,) published on the; day before the election, in which the charge is sounded, and the party rallied to the polls, in the following terms: " But one day remains for preparation for the important contest to-morrow. Let it be improv. ed in all honorable ways to bring about right results. What Democrat, who sincerely de. sires the ascendency of democratic principles, will not devote the little time that remains to his party and his country ? Let no democrat falter in his duty, under any fancied discourage ments, which have their source and strength here, if any where, and are scarcely felt out of Albany. The democratic heart beats true and in unison throughout the Slate, and i impatient for the opportunity to strike a blow which shall award to traitors their doom and their deserts. Rely upon it, from Montauk to the Lakes tiie old WAR SPIRIT of the Democracy is aroused, and, in spite of secret and open trea son, will assert its ascendency in the good old Empire State. The identical issues under which the Democracy of Pennsylvania triumph, ed THE SUPPORT OF THE WAR, the Administration, and the Country, the rein forcement and reinvigoration of our gallant ar my in Mexico, if need be to compel from the enemy honorable and just terms of peace are THE ISSUES ON WHICH WILL TURN THE election here ; and who believes that New York is less patriotic or less democratic than , her neighboring sister ? There is no such word as fail, in such a contest, on such issues." f Tornado upon tW Democracy " in this State. Une l tne nrsiis, ine ni)roiiw fuj Whig ticket urfsbiled ?y an ism, and tin. contaminated Irt any Unholy alliance, but whig all over, and fey.whig. ; Tbovhigs werer therefore, united and enthusiastic, and have rolled up theiH jnwjorities with a 'hearty good will. They hate all pulled together. Another cause is, what we deem the proper stand upon the Mexican wiar, and the consequences involv. ed in it. They have, in their State Convention and public meetings generally, acutely distin gutshed between the duties they owe to their country involved in a war, and their abhorrence of an administration that unnecessarily and wickedly involvpd that country in this wan Their vote is, therefore, not only a verdict of dealh upon the administration that got up this warhut a resolution to vote all necessary sup plies to hurry it to a rapid compleJion, with another stern determination, that from con. quest " shall not spring the extension of slavery ovet territory now free. Such are some of the principles upon which the great State of New York has pronounced." - THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Salisbury, IV. C. THURSDAY EVENING.

It is a very common error in our State, to suppose that any sort of a build ing will answer for this purpose. If the teacher and children have to shiver with cold their teeth chattering through the whole length, of dreary winter, it is quite certain they will not profit much by going to school. They should be comfortable. School houses ihould be well adapted to thej9urpo$e intended well planned well lighted and capable of shutting out and admitting air, as circumstances of heat and -cold require. We have not closely examined "CV calculations ot loss and gain as sustained or realized by the proper or neglectful at tention paid to; this subject ; but suppose they are about right. will receive it, Th year, payable in ndva DCr3 We see; that the Democratic press of the State are rejoiced that President Polk:, has reinstated Lieuts. Pender and , Singletary, who were dishonorably dis charged by Gen. Wool from the North Carolina Regiment, on the charge of par ticipating in the late mutiny. This amounts to a censure of Gen. Wool, and the offi. cers who concurred with him in the dis mission of thesb young men ; and it was done, we presume, without a word from that distinguished officer in explanation of the conduct which be deemed necessary for him to pursue, under the circumstan ces, and of which the President is no bet ter informed, it is likely, than the Coun try generally. (However the facts in the case may be, it; has doubtless been badly managed. If Qen. Wool acted without law, the President has probably done right ; though it is questionable whether it would not have been better for the ser vice had he not been so hasty. It is not probable that the act of reinstating will be the last one of importance in connec tion with the subject, and we shall there fore soon expect to hear from Gen. Wool and Col. Paine, who will at least desire to have their conduct perfectly understood. . 7 i GEN." TAYLOR. Tbnt'able and trcly .Whig paprr. the Baltimore Anierican, has a long article in last Thursday's number, advocating a de cisive manifestation of sentiments by the friends of Gen. Taylor in Maryland- Re ferring to the position which Gen. T. oc cupies in relation to the Presidency, the American remarks: . The position which Gen. Taylor holds in reference to the Presidency, "since the public use of his name in connection with that oflice has made it necessary for him to declare his position, is one which no other man in the whole country could ven- lure properly to assume, it is lnebest of plies it is only pi.V all Positions whpn the man is found wU i .t ' r rn 4 n 1 . . '.I . I, 1 I - I vfu iin; ii tHUCrwiatr, iuc iiiusi, riuicu- lous. JT For the first time since the days of Washington the man is recognized. JlShould it become inevitably necessary for me" said the first President, in 1780, to go into the chair of Government, I have determined to go free from all posi tive engagements of cttry nature whatso ever, 'So that I may be at liberty to act with a sole reference to justice and to the public good.' Such was the truthful language of Washington. Let us sec if Gen. Tay lor's declarations to the same effect do not bear the impress of a similar, dignity : 1 can only say with all candour," remarks the victor of the Ilio Grande, that if elected to that (the Presidential) office, it must be by the spontaneous will of the people at large, and without agency or pledge on my part in any particular. If I ever fill that high office, it must be untram melled. with party alligations or interests of any kindjand under none but those which the constitution and the high interests of the nation at large most seriously and so lemnly demand.' The American concludes his article in the'se words: Finallj-, and at any rate, we gather from the indications in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and other States, that Gen. Taylor is unquestionably in the field. He has not made himself a candi date for the Presidency ; the People have done it. He has announced the terms up on which he will stand, and those terms are accepted. Gen. Taylor ? in the field ; he will not withdraw jior be withdrawn ; for he never retreats ; he never surrenders. The People who have called him to his position will sustain him there. They claim him as their own. Conventions may recognize, but they cannot appropriate him. George Washington is now to have a successor. There is no mistaking the fact that the People have taken the nomination of their Chief Magistrate into their own hands. The wire workers have lost their vocation as the wires are working on their own account, and of their own volition. A convention may assemble and recog nize the fact that Gen. Taylor is in the field hy the will of the People they may take measures for carrying out the will thus decidedly manifested, and this is all they can do.

All our candidates on the Stale ticket, headed by Hamilton Fisn, and Millard Fillmore, are elected by such immense majorities that it is hardly worth the while to figure them up. They will be thou sands on thousands as ran be seen by the telegraphic accounts and in due time we can tell how many thousands. Not a shadow of doubt exists that every Whig on theState ticket is elected over all the combined opposition of Abolitionism, Anti-RentHtn, and Licofocoism. It is a pure untarnished Whig triumph, and can, therefore, le cheered and welcomed evry where and in every quarter as a great and splendid pure whig victory. .

Editors are,! in truth, tho only class of men who may be said lo be educated Xo the priifessibn of legislators : and the won der is, that,more of them arc not sent to our Legislative Assemblies.
