 or Mir. Polk we know nothing, except that he has achieved triumph over the arle and respected man in the Union, although he was scarcely more known in that Union lew months ago, than he is in Europe. He has not been chosen for his past services, or his political experiences for civil eo quence, or fora military faue for these qua Ii'ies woald doubtless long ago have brought him within notice, if he had possessed them any of them. But the less of personal greatness influence he could boast of, the better was he fitted 10 answer the expectations of his adherents. Whatever he may turn out to be hereafter, only judge of him present the delegate oi or instrument of the pas- sions by which he has been thus strangely raised To lh,s conspicuous position As such. tben must remark with no 0rdlnrry concern, that with the sin gle exception of the tarif question, which he is pledged to more liberal commercial policy than his opponent, his election to this important office is the triumph of every thing that is worst over every thing that is best in the United States of America. It is a victory ganed by the south over the north-by the slave States over the freely the repudiating States over the honest ones-by the partisans of the ation of Texas its opponents-by the adventur- ous and interruptions democracy of the new States,
 
 more austere and dignihed Repubcansm of New England.
 From the London Spectator.
 There is nothing su prisIng m the result of the Presidential election in the United States. It IS merely a repetition of what has happened at every election since 1900. The democratic has oh- ialned another victory the Docrinares of Ame rica. Since the recognition of American indepen- dence in great Briian there has always been Doc trinare party in the UnIon; it has been almost he t ttiurp Man in lfa nun1- CT; the two Adamses have been It's principal orna- ments. It has enrolled under it's banners a decided majority Of the public oi the union, who, born to q competency, have enjoyed systematic educafion and opportunities of cOtvatng refined tastes. It has been ntel lligent and on the whole an honorable parly-raher sceptica, the natural tendency of men of the world, as to the perlectbity of man or the wisdom and virtue of the masses-wh a good dsal of knowledge, great deal of lastidiousness, and little pedantTy. This party has from its character been powerful in coteries than with the public. IL las had too much aith in distractions and prece dents To know and control actual circumstances its little airs of superior refinement and lea. ming have alienaled and dsgused the great body of electors IL | has called itself ederast at one time and whg at another but it has still been the unchanged and unchangeabe pnrty, the counterpart oi the GIronde or the Doctrnares of France-of the "Liberal Whigs" or "the Educated Radicals' of Englan | Opposed to this party of men made by schools and colleges, has always been the great democratic mass. which feels rather than thnks-which needs men leaders as the exponents and visible symbolyof prn ciples. When the Union has had statesman of commanding character, this sentient body has been guided by his will. So il in the times of JefeT- 1 son, of Madison, of Monroe When such n master mind not to be had, the democracy has been split into sectaran worshippers of number of local lead | ers-pr0viacla yreat men But even VI en the mass | has thus been taken at disadvantage, the Doctr- nares have rarely if ever been able to make good | oft Souefow or other the beweiers of the flock have agreed 10 Cede their claims in favor of one of their number; their followers have been indured desert them for time in favor of some man of straw, l till that moment unheard of. The democratic mass is the field which yields harvest to experienced political traders-the DoctrGsires too sensible be used by them, and too supercilious to them; and the political traders, by appealing 10 the public sentiment of the moment, carry the day From the London Economist.
 Mr. Polk has secured the support of all those whose intercourse with this country is rendered possible by the state of laws. Mr. Polk. by his advocacy of free commercial policy, essentially represents the feelings of the great Southern Saes-ihe producers of cotton, rice and tobacco. He has also secured large majarities in the States of Pennsy vania and New York, by which it is evident that the great canle inter of those States are superior the manufacturing and agI cuitura interests winch com bined m support of Mir Clay IL was with regard to these States that the greatest doubt prevailed and the result of which the election chiefly deLen ded. We arc muca struck by he strong appeal winch Mir. Webster made al recent meeting al Phil adt Iphia, to the vsred interests of manufacturers, miners and others supposed to be deeply interested in the high tariff in fasor ef protection to home n- dustry and yer, when the latest intelligence Jeff this Stae showed majority for the free trade of 4,06S and the State of New York of ,02l.
 The most striking result, however, is that of the state of Ohio. This is the great wheat growing state of the Union. IL is the Ahch. above all olhers has the deepest direct interest in receiving the cheap \ manufactures of Eng land. But the people of Ohio have long held this language to England, your cheap manufaciures would no doubt be great advantage tous, if we had the means to purchase them but as long you refuse market for our corn, in exchange for you cloth and iron ware, their cheapness and su- periority are matters of no object to us You invite us to buy, but are unwilling to take the only means we have of payment You exclude us from supply ing the artirans in England with our produce, who would be employed in what we require and we have. therefore no choice hut to support that policy which will induce those artzans to this eountryi that that exchange. which is at present impossible, may become possible, though on terms less profitable to either party" Such has been the language of Ono. and with such feelings the great wheat-growers of America support oy large majority tho candidate who is pledged 10 the policy which will exclude the goods of England.
