NEW.YORK ELECTION.


The triumph of Republcsnism never was
more conspicuous than in the receot elec'
ton in the powerful state OF New-York.
The united efforts of the frends OF their
country have been blest with the most signal
success, aud the opposers of the late just and
necessary war are overwhelmed with shame
and confusion.
Amidst all our rejoiciogs, however, for
this result, nothing gives Us more pleasure
than 10 see Ds-Wiu Clinton, and his fricpds
sgain IN The bosom OF the Republican family
The wounds are cica,rized which for Bao-
ment EXISTED "among brethren Of the same
principles" De-Wiu Clinton and John Q.
adams, are now the rallying points Of the
republicans of New York and New-Epgland,
and we have nothing TO appsehend Alt.
hough, estranged for a moment, their frieuds
now look forward 10 the same hopes and the
same objects.
They are capha,ically great men par
mobile ffatrum. United. in feelings and
principles, may they be Instrumental in sha-
ping The course of our policy and giving
direction TO cur efforts.
The election in New-York settles the
question of the President. Mr.. MoSRoE,
the long tried and experienced statesman,
will receive, unques,ionably, every vote Of
that state. Under such circumstances we
feel confident the fedetslis,s will not hazarc
candidate, and il is reduced TO a certainty
that the Wing interest will not be divided.
