THE RESULT OF THE RESULT.


iidence entertained by the most Intelligent anu GU
terprisng in the wisdom and policy OF new LuIeE
If this accession is followed by decline IN o1ocAs,
il is known that those accustomed to study causeS
and effects and to toresee the eno from .ne $50
ming. believe him incapable, or committed 20 soIue
dangerous error Of policy calculated to WORK mis-
chief to the Country. Onthe other hand, let IVA,
poleon or Louis Philippe grasp the scePtre, ano
the general anticipation Of stability and prosperity
induces buoyancy and advance in the Stock mar
ket II is not therefore, for the sake Of stocks, or
of those interested in stocks that these indications
are mainly important bat because the fluctuations
Of the Stock Market are in this case closely allied
with the rise or fall Of every thing else.
There is agreat deal Of absurd railing and PeVer"
ishness in the Polk journals with regard to the un-
deniable consequences Of their triumph. That
Stocks do fall that Enterprise paralyzed, and Bu-
siness brought to a stand, while Property whose
value depends on the continued progress and pros.
perity Of the Country, is depressed and rendered
unsaleable-these are facts which will not bend 70
the needs Of faction. If the success OF Clay or
Polk had been matter of indifference to Business,
then the bare termination Of the contest, with ITS
uncertainties and distractions would have been io"
lowed by an advance of prices. How dlnerent -
the result, we need not say. ..
Now it answers no good purpose to rail at Capt.
talists and Business men of their timidity Facts
prove that encouragement is not confined to one
! marty. 1.-THE Polk men OF our city believe their
triumph would be suspicious to the pecuniary in.
terests of the Country heV could very easily hold
| up Stocks and they ,cotsld do it. Only convince
one fourth of our Moneyed Men that Stocks or
Property will rise within few months. and they
would not be allowed to droop now. Few men ale
low their Politics to stand in the way of their ma
king money; and we never yet knew one man to
refuse for Property to-day that he felt confident
| would rise to morrow. Who ever di6 know the
like And yet we have heard OF capitalists abused
for stopping the erection OF Factories, Machine
| u. Ahosv yhn had ntnd
themselves hoarse over the election Of Polk and
Dallas as q staggering blow to our manufacturers.
| Is not this the extreme Of inconsistency
The vital truth is,that our whole intelligent peo-
ple no matter Of what Politics, do clearly UNDER
stand that the prosecution OF the avowed projects
Of -Focoism must lead to disastrous commissions
in Business. If the Protective features Of the Tar
| if are destroyed, Labor must find diminished de-
| mand and reward Internal Improvements prove
less active and profitable; and our Currency, by
the abstraction Of Specie to pay for Foreign goods,
must become contracted or unsound. II Annex
alton is pressed, we shall be involved in hosilities
| with Mexico, and perhaps not with her alone,
which will cripple our Commerce and derange the
Industrial machinery Of the Country. And e the
Sub-Treasury scheme 10 to be forced on the 'Coun-
try, Currency contraction and business revusion
| from this source alone are inevitable. 3
But apart from the ic of,vi projects to which
the coming Administration stands committed there
is that in the very spirit and attitude of the triumph
ant party which is bitterly infmicaf to Confidence
and Prosperity. II is the party Of Social Anarchy.
1t has trumphed by appealing to the worst feelings
| Of the human heart. The envy Of Property by the
destitute the hatred of Thrift by the prodgal. the
discomfort with their position Of the Fortunate
these are the strings which have been fingered with
Satanic dexterity to defeat the Wings in our late
contest. The Rich against the Poor !! Down
with the Aristocrats ! Down with the bloody
British Bank Wings these and many like them
are the war-cries which have animated, Infatuated
the motley host mustered under the bannersof Polk
and Dallas. Tire poor have been taught by the Ely
Moores and Tom Nicholses Of Loco Focoism to re-
gard the Rich their natural enemies, and Wealth
as the spoil Of Poverty by Cunning: These are the
cankerous wounds inflicted on the body polite
which it to reel and toter-these are sbloody
Instructions which the poet says, oft return to
| plague tn inventor II the means by which the
victory has been implanted by the winners IN the
breasts of their instruments could all be efaced to-
recover from the calamtous effects Of Mr.. Clay's
defeat. As it is, our hopes of continued Prosperi-
ty are faint indeed.--.N y Tribune.
American Tract Society .again.-On making
examination in reference to statement Of FIVE col
umns recently put forth, to the prejudice Of this
society, (the worst part Of which has been extern
sively copied and exaggerated,) we ascertain the
following facts. the general knowledge of which
seems to be requisite for disabusing the public mind,
we'll doing justice to the venerable Publishing
Committee Of the Society: .
/. The statement has never been sanctioned BY
the Synod OF New York and New Jersey; though
from the form in whchit appeared, that impression
has been made. The Synod, far from countenancing
the rumors brought to their notice by the zeal Of
one or more individuals, since concerned in pub
fishing the statement, simply appointed commit
tee to examine the subject and report to them at
their next meeting, about year from this time.
2. The editors, in whose paper this statement
appeared, are in no measures responsible for 1t
they having inserted it reluctantly, on its appear
ing officially after having, months before. declined
similar statement, emanating from the same
source.

wards, and Somefs, Of 90 many different denomina-

time and labor, in selecting, revising, and prepar

in all Of which they have, in compliance with the
Constitution of the Society, manifestly endeavored
