| Never since this Government formed have the
Democracy of this city had much 10 be proud
of their triumph as at this election We have often
zone into the contest when the lines were closely drawn
and ile parties nearly equally divided, yet with strong
homes of success, and have had our hopes realized;
but the exutaiion, the joy such victory was
nothing compared to this. The Democracy Of the
Union have little idea what obstacles have had In
contend against Strong in the belief that We were
inyncibe--surc of ms or.ty OF two or three thou

nents and if the had been taken stood al the
close OF registry, shcnld have had even more

who have ruled our State for the last three years

quenched, would have consumed their fair Republic,
raised up spirit OF sectarianism and religious fanati-
csm, which would not have been slad until rivers OF
blood had been spilled 10 check the flames Of sectasn
dscord, which had been engendered between differ.

such umprincpled men VIM. H. Seward, Thurlow

withstandng all these dIscouagng crcumstances-not
withstandng The secret but efficient ganzaon Of
opponents, brought about through their leaders here,
who knew of the game which was to be played-not
withstandng the sudden registry by certificates the
day and the day preceding the election, of than
ninaon Of a separate ticket based religious belief
which drew off two thousand yoters-we say,
not outstanding all these things combined, have, at
ter all, come out ofthe contest VICTORIOUS,

Whether he is traitor to the Democratic creed, or
whether he is n "dyed in The wool Fcdcralist, are

large majority Of them stand FORTH The Jealous, the

designing demagogues and ostered by perhaps honest
but mistaken zeal The proud meeting at Old Tam

BY young men, who ere long will brush from their
pathway, those who have been nurtured from infancy

forth to heal the stab that infammatory Whlggery

knew full well that this could be done only by exc
ing their religious prejudces, then suddenly turning
the excitement against the party who have been the
friends and protectors of adopted citizens for more
than half "A century The plan was deeply laid. Bot,
thank heaven this Seward plot did not succeed. The
sudden enlargement will soon be forgotten, and we
shall again be found battling together like united
family of brothers, against common opponents and
haters OF Democracy, but more particularly against
those who ever have and will be the foes, the de-
spsers, The prosecuting yrants Of al! who happen TO
have ceen born in another land. They have only TO
refer TO the columns OF the New York American and
the Commercial Advertiser, for the last few days, to
know what kind of spirit actuates the Federal Wing
party. We shall publish few extracts in day or two,
in order TO let adopted citizens see how narrowly
they have escaped being embraced BY the Shiny folds
of Federalism
Once more, then, we send forth the cheering notes
of VICTORY. Victory did we say? 1t is not ex-
pressive enough; FOR 10 the EMPIRE STATE is
REDEEMED FROM THE THRALL OF FEDE
RALlSM. Then let the shout go forh-let il ring
over the hills and valleys from Maine 10 Louisiana,
THE GREAT STATE OF NEW YORK is CLIO

"We have beaten the Whigs for The last time, said
