TranscriptGENERAL JACKSON

Extract of a private letter from New York, dated November 7,
1834:-
Our election is just closed, and a most triumphant one it has
been for the Jackson democratic party, a majority having been
gained of 2,500 out of 35,000. It has cost the aristocracy
immense sums, besides what they lost in bets, but they are so
completely humbled, that it will be years before they will raise
their heads again. The Irish party have completely succeeded
against the English. We shall have gold and silver in
circulation. Look to it Johnny Bull.
