To roi,iuterpret the result Of yesterday Elec-
t,on would be g grave, mscheyoas error. The
State Ticket nominated by our opponents is horribly
beaten, not because all the w higs did their whole
duty at the polls for many neglected TO do 50 not
becsase the People heartily agree with as On any
Of the great questions on which the two main par
ties confront each other, though we believe this 70
be the fact not because the People are Ices rad-
c.lly Democratic than the candidates presented IN
the name Of Democracy. but because they are much
more So We might have carried the State and we
might not on q fair party contest IN which the ar
the Tariff and the kindred topics Of past controversy
were prominently at issue-we think the war 80
Justly and generally odious that we should have
done 20 but that IS nat the main reason oil our over
yhelming victory. We have carried everything
h.fo,s ma AMPLY because the great rssss OF the oP
,o,;,s party were outraged and Disguised by the
doings Of their last State Convention by the vHto-
Al reposation Of the Freemens principle OF No Elk
tension OF Slave Territory by the means employed
10 pack and control that Convention by toe gen
efsl odium attached 10 the influences and the
men who controlled it and by the aversion
avery where entertained 20 the candidates NJ
tinsly put in nomination by IT, These are the true
reasons why our triumph is so overwheming-
With such State Ticket AZ we had, and with the
Country involved in War as II has been we think
we could have carried the State against any ticket
and any exertions that opponents would Proba-
bly, have made bot for the Waterloo rout Of the
Hankers we are indebted to potent influences and
exertions outside Of the Wing party This result
like some which have at intervals preceded IT,
proves by no means that the People are adverse
TO Democracy, bat that there is point beyond
which the mantle of Democratic profession will
not effectuay cover anti republican acts and mach
nations
This tornado will have lasting consequences.
The Wilmot Proviso is triumphantly sustsined-the
Extension Of Slave Territory is effectively we
think conclusiyely, vetoed-the project oil suolu'
eating and annexing Mexico is knocked in the
head-apd the bunker Dynasty. as dynasty, is
at an end. Its members will dive and come up
sgain-probsbly more vehement radicals than the
mass of the 'Barnburners 40 called. and will par
tcularly distiDg ush themselves 10 the near hand
crusade against Corporations But such majority
As that which trumphed at Syracuse, and such
ticket AZ that headed by Dayton, will not soon be
seen again.
1t would have been far easier for u.s. and more
agreeable TO the mass OF our readers 10 have rep
resented this result unparalleled victory for
Wing principles and measures-ior the Protective
Policy, Internal improvements against the Mexican
War &c &c. That these elements have entered
into thu and aided to produce the result we
have already stated But whe,he- .sv wings a" "
many shall ar sh.n endoringiy p'oht by the stu
penSoos victory thus awarded them will depend
entirely on the wisdom, moderation and true patri-
otism with which they WELD the power thus con
fded to their hands. May the event be propitious
