THE GRAND REsuLT.-Thc late victo-
ry, achieved by the friends of Gen. Tay-
lor, over the ultra locofoto party, is,
when rightly considered, glorious vic
tory. Glorious in that it has broken the
power OF that mighty dynasty which
with the exception of Harr.son's single
month, has held the nation as in chains
these twenty years Supported by the
immense patronage of all the Departments
Of the Government as by myriad Of
mighty plllars-encircled by the wreatls
and the glare of many victories, and with
the prestige of future triumphs hanging
over it as a bow ofpromise, it was impo
sing, captivating, and, IN realityiterrible
in strength. Even in falling it has
shown its strength; for with all the odium
arising from promises baseIy violated
from its millions of debt entailed on the
people-from its assumptions of kingly
power-irom its uncounted abu.es of its
privileges, and having too, for candidate
one Of the most graceless knaves that ev
er sought place and preterment, and en-
countering as 1t did, one of the purest of
men-a patriot ofthe Washington stamp.
who having done "the State some SER
vice" was enshrinrd in the hearts of his
countrymen, and who had put forth the
popular doctrine "that the will OF the
people as expressed by their Represen-
tatives IN Congress, should be respected
and carried out by the Executive'-with
all these disadvantages, its dying struggle
has been despe rate.
But it has been final struggle. The
charm of its success is broken. "The CO.
hesive attraction Of public plunder,'
which, according to Mr.. Calhoun, held 1t
together, has ceased to exert its wonted
influence, and the legons of locolocosm
are dispersed not again to be rallied to-
geth-r.
I. is matter for public rejoicing that
it is so. Sustained by the majority ofthe
people again and again, notwithstanding
its errors and outrages, it grew to believe
that 1t was mightier than they, and for
got 'Nhe power behind the throne greater
than the throne itself" In its mad pre-
sumption, il hesitaied not in any course
which might please its fancy, or cater to
its passion, depending on its influence
over the minds of the people TO coerce
them into submission, until in the full
tide OF its power ard impudence-for it
had grown snpercllious in IFS strength
il has been brought to judgment, and hum
bled in the dust A new party will take
its place. What that party is, may be
gathered from the following extract from
Mr.. CIayton's late Brandywine speech.
