We hope the lesson will not be lost on English
Conservatives, or on their great organ, that the
triumph of American Conservatism haabeen through
the ballot and universal suffrage We must con-
cede to them, we suppose, as they so loudly insist
o,n it, that the Democrats are the Conservatives of
America. We used to think differently. We re-
member the time when the leading men of the other
party—the WEBSTERS and CLAYS—were those to
whom the respectables of England looked as the
men with whose ability, public charaoter, and social

position they naturally sympathised. We also re-
member that it was an occasion of frequent taunt

against Democratic institutions that they did no
elect such wen to the Presidency. But, as our
Conservatives ought to know their own loves best,
we will allow that the Democrats of New York and
of all the Union belong to them, the brothers WOOD
of New York city included. We only ask them, as a
fair consequence, to admit that the ballot is a very
conservative measure, that it can give a Conserva-
tive candidate a majority of twenty or thirty
thousand in one eity, and a large majority to the
Conservative saviour ofs their country in the whole
State. That it can increase the gains of Con-
servatism where every man has a vote, in fact,
can vanquish the " Radicals," although armed with
the terrors of Fort Lafayette, and having an im-
mense army at their disposal.
We should think, too, they will acknowledge
that the ballot is Conservative of order at elections.
Never surely was there a greater excitement prior
to the palling day than in this New York election ;
an excitement too amongst a most excitable people,
and with hosts of saper-excitable Irishmen to in-
flame and explode in the midst of all. Yet all
accounts agree that the polling day was as quiet as
any such occasion could possibly be where great
numbers were concerned, and engaged for and
against, on a question which stirred all their passions
so deeply. Why, there was more disturbance at
little Kidderminster, when the Hon. ROBERT
LOWE stood as the mark for brickbats, before he
took to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE'S sofa at Calne,
than at all the polling booths in the whole State
of New York. Our Conservatives here ought
to confess that their brother Conservatives,
called Democrats in America, are wiser than them-
selves in having chosen the Ballot as their Corrupt
Practices
at Elections Prevention Act. Whatever
corruption there is in violence—the corruption of
he Ballot, under the most unfavourable
eiremnetan

but one tnglish
Conservative reply to this fact,
thatjust in En

—the violence
