Tlie Now York correspondent of the National Intelligoncer oannot find words toexpress his loatliíng of the Liberty party. - Howcvfir, he tnkes comfort ó Ihfi thongrlit ihat "ilio po]iti.-;il imporianue of thnt pnrty has been ntforlv dfietroj-ed b'y tlipir conree a t the late Pmsideniial elecíion. Thp.y are now spnken of on!y wiíh oxeerntion and contempt, aixl present árvelopinrrits show thttt llicir forcé hacheen reduced tul it ík no ionger formidable." Thiií may be so, lint the few returns of tlic town elections ín Me%v York tcll rather a different story. In Salisbiirv, Tïerkimer rotm'v, (he Libertycnndklute for Supervisor came wlthin ninc votos of he'ing elec:rd. In WiniïcJr], snme ommly. the Liberty ticket was elecled, by a handsome majoricy. Corïlar.d cniinly did ivèU'. I.i Homer, ll.-c vote for Supervisor wns J. rii C!npp, (Lib.) 200, O. Bowen, (Whigj 194, N. Hitchcock, (Dem.) 117. ín Cortlandville, the Whig ticket prcvailed, by only a majority of 51 votes over the Liberly ticket. Litchfiold gave 65 Liberty votes - a elight jewport gave 55 - a g-ain of' 1G from November. Last Sprinir thé Democratie vote was L5 over bo:h Whig and Liberty- now it is 27 less. D3nnbe elected a Whig, Manlicim, a Dem oerntic Supervisor - bot ir the reverse of lasi year - tiicresult in such case was prodneed, it is slaled, by the Liberty men.

The Liberty candidate for visor lost the election by going aguinst grantmg censes. Smitltfk-ld, in which is the little town of Petcrboro, has rendered a good account oí herself. Two yenrs ngo, the Liberty ticket beat each of the olher tickets. Lnst yenr the othcr pariies combined, and succeeded by n mfijority of 20 votes ovoí1 the Liberty party. Tliis year, they ognin combined, but tlie Liberty men beat them both, by a majority of 48! Tliis ceriainly does not look hice being ' 'ntterly des!royed.'T - dn.
