THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION&

Tun reeult of the presidential elections in the
United States will be no surprise to our readers,
whatever it may be to certain of our contempo-
raries who, undeterred by their former feats of
prophecy during the civil war, have been
celebrating in advance the victory of the
Democratic candidates. We take credit for nothing
more than a dispassionate attention to the
facts of the case, and a habit of interpreting
them by careful induction, and not by sentiment or
caprice. We should indeed be blind leaders of the
blind if, hire some disappointed English partisans,
we were habitually to take the city of New York
as the representative of the American people. Let
us now for a moment endeavour to ascer-
tain with something like precision the bear-
ings of this decisive triumph of the Re-
publican party, and to clear from a cloud of
prejudices and misconceptions the meaning and
effect of this overwhelming majority for Giturr
and COLTAI. Among many other ridiculone per-
versions of English opinion, which date from the
Southern secession, le the assumption that the
Democratic party in the United States have ever
been the friends of England. All the "
cultic* " with England which reamissed
unsettled before the war had accumulated under
a succession of Southern Presidents, sad the
difikelties which are now in eourse of
settlement are equally due to the party
of Messrs. SZTHODI and Bun. The Repub-
lican party were the natural friends of
England before the war, inasmuch as they were
the guardians of those principles which England
was always supposed to hold dear. If
they have since been estranged from us
let our WHARNCLIITZS and LAIRDS give " the
" reason why." Mr. RErnisPv JOHNSON, it is
true, is, as he declared at the Sheriffs'
banquet last night, " a Southerner by
" birth, a Southerner by education, a Southerner
"by residence," and he was one of those
American citizens who were " satisfied that
" without the continuance of the Union
" liberty and peace in the United States
" were not to be accomplished." To this
happy combination of personal antecedents
and political loyalty, he owes his present recon-
ciling mission. The Southerners were very
friendly, no doubt, to England during the war ;
but Mr. EEvannY JOHNSON, se at once a Souther-
ner, a Democrat, and a Unionist, is, we take
leave to say, an exception that only proves the
rule. Wherever the party so signally defeated in the
reoeut contest have obtained local majorities
they have been largely indebted to the
Irish Fenian vote—the most bitterly hostile
of all anti-English elements in the nomad popu-
lations of the great centres of rowdyism.
The vast majority of the people of England, we
take it, have no party sympathies or party interest
in American politics. What they desire is to see
the peace, the freedom, and the prosperity of the
American commonwealth established on the
broadest and most durable foundations, and the
end of that terrrible war of principles which cost
two millions of human lives, secured. The
" almost unanimous elective of General Guar
"to the chief executive of the United States
" is," we gladly adopt the words of Mr. Rims=
JOHNSON, the choice of " the man to whom we
" were mainly indebted for the mippressien of that
" rebellion which struck at the life of the nation,
" and the men of America would have been um-
" grateful if they bad failed to plain him
"in the Presidential chair, the duties of
" which he would be stun to administer so as to

" subeerve the public interests, and to bind up
" the wounds of • wounded country." Such is
the signification of this Republican victory, on
the authority of a Southerner and a Democrat;
and it would ill become foreign partisans of the
beaten candidates to contradict Mr. ihrTZSDY

THE KING OP PRUSSIA'S SPEECH

AFTEI the perinea of King Wcwim of
PEnesmA's speech at the opening of the Chambers
yeiterday, the serni-ofBoial prom in Paris will,
we trust, have the dacesey to confess that
it is not from Bsrlia that warlike alarms
and warble provooaLions are to be looked
for. Nothing could be more harmless, meth
entirely and absolutely pacific in tone and
endency, then the words which have been put into
the Knro's mouth by his constitutional advisees.
Two-thirds of his speech are all devoted to purely
domestic matters; to administrative reforms; to
the necessity of decentralisation ; to the require-

mats of the Treasury; to the means of
balancing remoras with en imagined expenditure.
It is each a speech as the least military of sore-
reign' might deliver in a time of profound peace,
whin not a black spot maid be discerned on the
horizon. King Wilimat &slams the relations of
his Government with foreign Powers to. be
" satisfactory and friendly." And—happy sign !
this ancient champion of the right divine, refers to
the Spanish Revolution in language which might
almost proceed from an English statesman. " The
" event, fA the western peninsula of Europe can
" give ries to no other feeling within us than the
" wish and confidenos that the Spanish nation will
" succeed in ending in the independent ter-
" mation of its national position • guarantee
of its future prosperity and power."

The only reference tie Iwo makes to military
matters is a sentence oommending the labours of
the international congress of Geneva in " coin-
" plating and extending to the navies the pin-
" ciples already settled for treating and caring for
" the 'wounded in war. " And the victor of
Sedowa expremes the hope, and more than the
hope, that " the application of these pin-
" cipler is not ter distant" Belying on " the
" sentiments of the Sovereigns of Europe Ind the
" nations' desire for pesos" (which latter fac-
tor it seems is beginning to count for something),
King WuzzAit exhorts the Diet to " proceed to
" its work of peace," without apprehenekes of
any material disterbanse of the postal wel-
fare, which he trusts will " also be bad
" from those obstructive and peralysing
" elects too often created by groundless fears."
We than await with curiosity the acknowledgment
of these expressions of goodwill by the oonoilistory
Cossratutioostel and the firs-eating Par, both confi-
dential though contradistory organs of the Snood
Empire
