THE RESULT

We copy the following calm and jud'cious
remarks upon the result of the general cleo
ton from the New York Evening Post, and
heartily concur with the sentiments express
ed in them:-TBoston Statesman.
"General Harrison is the President elect
of the United States; the returns from the
western counties OF New York have decided
that question. The time for 4 change has
at last arrived; the time when the people in
order to be convinced of the benefits of a
democratic policy, must try a taste Of its op-
poSite.
There is no teacher like experience. No
man values the blessings of health like him
who has just risen from 4 sick bed-no man
enjoys the sweets of liberty like him who has
tasted the bitterness of oppression. We
suppose that IL is Just so with natiOns:-to
keep UP their attachment to Il wise and libe-
raj government. which respects the rights
ond liberties of all alike. it may be necessary
that now and then they should submit to see
their affairs administered on principles which
cXait the few 1t the expense of the MANY.
The democratic party will watch the con-
duct Of the new administration. we hope. in
i spirit of fairness. but with a determination
Ia contest every inch ri ground. in the at
tempt Which, will doubtless be made to revive
cXp!"dcd principles and perricious measures.
II hey succeed IN forcing 4 national bank
upon Us. we shall never cease to call for a re-
peal OF its charter. If they return TO the
policy OF mtcrnll Improvements which pre-
vailed under the Younger Adams, we shall
demand that they lie abandoned. the moment
ihe democratic party IS again in the Assem-
IilnFI- IN fEpN- rnN-IN-n - n-ntnnt,ra t,r,f ,.o
shall clam that it he r~cScinded. Every step
that is taken in violation of the constitution
and the principles of equal rights will be re-
traced the moment their brict hour of authori-
ty is past.
The first step will undoubtedly be to pro-
pose Il national bank. They see that the
commerce of the country is rapidly reviving.
and the money market gradually recovering
from the state of confusion into which it was
thrown by the future of our banking system.
and they will be in haste TO apply their grand
remedy. in order that it may have the credit
of bringing about the favorable results which
must intallibly take place. and in fact. are
now taking place without it. Let them Gre
ate their national bank. and let those sub
scribe IN ITS stock who are willing TO contri
bute their capital 10 an institution which has
only Tour years ut most To live. Its charter
will scarcely out live the period prescribed
Tor filing up its stock.
We enter upon the contest which lies be-
fore us. not only with Il firm resolution. but
with the most cheerful hopes of the issue.-
Democratic principles have taken deep root
IN the hearts even of many who have been
led, by Il popular deluSion, to assist in the
of the present administration
The young men of the country, with no very
numerous exceptions, are ndoctrinated in
principles, friends to the freedom
oil trade, inclined to those plans OF legislation
which interfere least with mems employ
mentS, which create fewest officers, and
which are founded on an honest and rigid
construction Of the constitution. The mo-
ment the wing party begin to move in those
projects which their leaders have darkly him
ted ut. but which they dared not distinctly
proclaim, because they knew them to be IN
popular, we shall have this class of young
men instantly upon our side.
The dispute which has now been decided
against the democratic party, has been con-
Quoted by them in a manner highly to their
honor, with a frank avowal OF their doctrines
and intentions, and for the most part with
the weapons ot far controversy. Then I'd
verSarles on the contrary, keeping their own
future policy out OF sight. and taking advan-
tagc of the embarrassments Of the times,
