by any very brilliant military or naval ex-
ploit.-There is yet time enough, and rea
son too, to anticipate all the success which
interchangeable Industry and undaunted Cou-
rage can achieve on the waters, shores
and vicinities of Lakes Ontario and Cham
plain and the St. Lawrence river, not to
speak of Interior operations which time will
develope.
Meanwhile, at home, how glorious is the
triumph of principle! How ascendant the
virtue of the people The election in the
great and powerful state of New York, re-
sulting in the complete success of the Re-
publican party, has at once overthrow the
projects of disorganizers and the hCt,Ss OF
Opposition. York is-sUith the general
government--and its colossal power and in
fiuence will give vigor to its operations by
coincidence of action, instead OF lending its
aid, as the Jacobins of the East vainly hoped
and predicted i, would, In moral or physi
cal effort TO stop the wheels OF government.
The representation of that state in Congress
will also be essentially changed in our favor,
and completely secure the Republican par
ty from any elimination of the preponder-
ance in the Fourteenth which it now posses

Republican majority is thus ensured in the

Nor less do we felicitate than on the
success of the Loan. Maugre the hour

was filled with so little difficulty, as 70 leave
no doubt of the practicability of obtaining

row if it was wanted. We do dot mean to
say that the efforts of the Essex Junto were
entirely without effect but we do mean to
say that the despicable spirit Infused by
them into the community Of wealth in that
vicinity, scarcely extends beyond the limits
of Boston, and has proved as impotent to
accomplish its object as could be wished,
either for the homer of the country or the
credit of the government.
Let us rejoice in moderation, at these
occurrences. Let our brethren in Maryland
Snd elsewhere look to New York for an eX-
ample, and initiate her magnanimity. Let
them shake off the incubus which bewiders
their faculties.
Among other prospects, many dwell with
confidence aud delight upon the prospect of
peace. IF our enemy please it, we shall have
an HONORABLE PEACE--an event we
should greet with heartfelt pleasure.
But if our enemy persist in her wrongs. we
shall have VIGOROUS WAR. That
the people will support the government in it,
IS proved By the glorious issue of the New
York Election whilst the result of the Loan
proves that the government will find no diff
hcdlty in procuring, from an enlightened and
liberal people, the Ways and Means to car
ny on war in support of their just and in
alieonable rights. Nat. Inf.
