| New York WAS aroused 10 the trnc merits of The
I contending parties After violent struggle, the
| Constitution prevailed, and the Empire State ar
rayed herself, once more, On The side OF the Re-
publican rary, where she naturally belonged. Ii
would be unjust, were we not to pay passing
tribute 10 Nlc>srs. Butler, Dickinson Camblc-
leng, and other distinguished friends of Mr.. Van
Buren,. They warmly devoted their whole ia
Tents and influence 10 the success OF the Repubii-
can candidates. They locked no, tack at what
had iranspired; bit marched on TO The victory OF
The good cause. How noby they excr;ed them
selvcs-ho lravcly they resisted and beat down
the multiplied obstacles which were thrown in
their pah-ihe Virginia Democracy will ever re-
member with The deepest gratitude.
The following picture of the danger through
which the Democracy of New York have passed
and their final and complete triumph, ahounds in
moral lessons and should be studied and fully az
prcciatcd by every Republican. What noblcr
evidence OF The pcrpeluity of our Union, than the
eloquent fact that nearly the whole South and
West, the extreme Northern States, and the two
great States of New York and Pennsylvania, at
ter an agitation Of delicate questions which shook
The Republican party IL It's very centre, and came
near breaking il into fragments, should now lc
found, side by size, jealousy united on behalf OF
the salutary principles Of go"crDnenI and with
strong moral boId knitting together lie North

impresnable position of tie Republican party in
every portion Of the United States, will powerful

1 who would recklcs>ly lay their hands on the sa-
cred charter OF our liberties:
! TIE POSITION OF NEW YORK.
! every democrat must now contemplate with
a peculiar pride the position OF his own great,
| State. ii was never more noble and command
ing than al the present hour. The Democracy
! Of this state have from the first, waged the con-
/ test under the impressive feeling and deep re-
! sponsblily that upon them. pre-cmineniy rested
| the extraordinary power of deciding who was 10
| liz President of the United States and most no
( biz have the, fulfilled this high trust. The onset
! has been terrible. but they have resisted it, and
trusting 10 the people and the strength Of their
/ principles, they have gained a triumph without
Z parallel in our political history.
I "Gur brethren of o!her states can scarcely ap-
! prccae the difficulties and cmbarrassmcnts in
: our path. New and exciting elements were
+ brought into the canvass on the eve Of the cleo

lords Of Boston and Lowell sent their thousand,
/ OF dollars into this STATE 10 buy up voters like
cattle in the shaInbleS, and To substitute our free
men To add 10 the fury oi the FIGHT, every pos
Sible appeal has been male 10 Americans, to
arouse every bitterness and prejudice agans,
the trie-hcar;ed adopted citizens q! our land. To
excite still deeper animosi,ies and preludiccs in
tie popular mind against Gov. Polk, nearly exc
nv Wing voter constituted himself d pluphc, Of
woe, crying ont ruin, ruin to the country, and
proclaimng destruction TO the lahoring classes if
the democratic candidate should he elected As
the Wing orators have declared. they tried 10
make the canvass question Of bread and
thus alarm the animal propcnsitics of all classes
OF the community, il order 10 induce them 10
vote for Clay.
"tEdcr these circumstances, it is hardly too
much 10 say, that every current that human in@c-
nuily could devise, ard every appliance that mo-
rev could purchase, has been directed in favor 81
the election OF Clay and Fillmore.
80 irrilate the North against the South, Wing
papers and hendbi!ls have been scattered through
out the state, representing every slave dealer in
favor OF Polk and Dallas, and every slave mart
with Polk and Dallas flag waving over lis
shamblcs.
"To crown their reckless desperation, the glo-
riouS and inspiring news from the old keystone
was laisilled by the Wing press, in order 10 ncu-
raliZc lis effects, and every artiice WIS rosoted
20, 10 extend an impression that Pennsylvania WAS
I doubtful.
we recoun, these circumstances in order that
or brethren in distant States tnay fully appreciate
the terrible ordeal through which the Democracy
/ of New York have gone. That our majority *
as large as it is is a source Of prou, c1ul,aun.
Ii is sufficient that we have carried the Stale and
saved The Union; while the position occupied by
our Democracy cntangled IS no base alliances
or promises, was never more commanding. The
moral power Of conqucTing under such adverse
and extraordinary coalitions and combinations,
will be considered the great and overwhelming
victory OF TIE campaign, which fairly earns for
New York the noble title OF the Heart OF the De-
mocratic Party OF The Union"

We expected or desired Eui, on SATURDAY even
ing we received the Nashville Union OF Ike 9Th,
which gives returns from 80 counties IL Middle and
Yves, Tennessee, showing Il Democratic gain oi
2,6ll since is. Al The same time. We received 4
slip from The Knoxville Register Whicl with The
votes oi ;. counties in East Tennessee, showing
father Democratic gain OF 936. Thus. III - coun-
ties heard from, we have a Democratic gain OF
3,5S3 over The vote o.. 1873 when The Wig ma
ority was $3.50. Il IS very reasonable 10 expect
that the gain in the y, counties 10 come in will
entirely overcome the majority last year, and
place The ''hVne ot the Iichories' in her true
position towards the Republic.
