THE RESULT IN NEW YORK.

The RESULT I'm NEW YORk.
Who cries at this result The Wings do not.
Even, If regarded decisive OF the vote OF the
State in the Presidential contest, they have for
titude enough 10 bear it for they have every
confidence that their candidate will receive cleo
loral votes enough, and more than enough, with
out New York. But if the Wings were greatly
distressed, they would not, if we read the signs
Alright, be without brethren in affection The
Calhounites (poor fellows y are awfllly cast
down. Crozzle and Blair and Richie crow over
them, after fashion to provoke saint to wrath.
This exultation Of rival faction Of their own
party, is not the least bitter draught in the cup
of their Affections. But the gravesl and most
serious cause of despair to them, is that which
furnishes the Wings a consolation for their de-
feat: the New York election secures the nomi-
nation Of the national convention to Martin Van
Buren,! This extinguishes the last hope, for
this generation at least, of the Calhoun men !;
while it guarantees the triumph to the Wings.
The Wings could not desire an easier man TO
beat. They have already beat him black and
blue. With the Government in his hands, and
welding all ITS patronage TO strengthen himself,
he was beaten by majority OF l45,O00-the
largest popular majority ever cast in an election.
Since that time he has gained no strength--so
far from it, large numbers of those who voted
for him in 1910, are deeply disaffected towards
him, and will, in all probability, vote against
him. Certainly they will give him very feeble
support, if they give him any. of those who
then voted against him, what earthly considera-
lion is there for them now to vote for him Is
he not the same dsingenuOus, pettifOgging in
triguer he was then Has he vindicated his
veraclty from the imputation cast upon it by his
course in relation to the Army Bill ?! What has
the country to expect from him What can he
do now, more than he did when he was at the
head Of affairs? Will he not restore the same
set Of plunderers to ofice-who, by his neglect,
If not with his connivance, robbed the public
treasury of millions of the public money
Would the Wings desire weaker opponent
Ought they not to hail with rapture that event
which makes him the man they have to beat ? =

POSTURE OF PARTIEs.-Every intelligent man
who takes careful survey Of the respective po-
sitioas and strength Of the two great political
parties OF the country, cannot but be convinced
that the wing party, at the present time, is
stronger and more united than at any former pc
Rod. Their principles, which are distinctly laid
down and boldly advocated, tend directly to the
prosperity and happiness of the country, and are
calculated to exalt and ennoble the character
and habits of the people -and in relation to
candidate for the Presidency, they are united, al
most to man, on the distinguished farmer and
statesman Of Ashland, who has done more to
elevate the condition and protect the interests of
the farmer, mechanic, and manufacturer, than
any other man living.
On the other hand the Locofoco party appears
to be constantly growing weaker, and gradually
approached general dissolution. Held together
by no principles calculated to promote the public
good-split up with strife and contention about
the g five loaves and two fshes"-and unable to
concentrate their strength upon any single indi-
vidual, they are precisely in the condition Of
dismayed and panic-stricken troops and must in
evitably give way to the first charge of the united
phalanx of the defenders of the constitution.
Under these circumstances the two
great parties thus situated, nothing but common
diligence and energy is requisite on the part of
the Wings, in order to achieve more decisive
and glorious victory than that OF 1910, the effect
OF which has been trameled and thwarted by
treason the most foul and damnable. Let us
then go to work like men who understand their
business-let us invoke the energies of our friends
far and near--let us investigate the causes of
misrule. and do all in our power to apply the re-
medy-let us make experience our teacher and
truth our guide, and the victory is won. Hart
