The Rrxull-lhe Fulure.

1t isa liked iact that General Zacha.
ry Taylor, is elected President Of the
United States forfour years commencing
on the 4rh Of March next. We must
confess that we were mistaken in our
calculations. We had sanguine hope
that the standard bearers of the democ.
racy would succeed, as they had spent
their lives Woodworking those great prin
clpIes which a large majority Of the PEG
pie OF the Union 4.eve, sanc,iJned by their
suttrages, time and again. 4'he result is
both contrary 10 orr expectations and de
sIres, but we must submit to the will OF
the people Tor tie time being. Cur re
grets are the more deep. when we take
into consideration that we have been de.
feated by the disaffeciion OF an individual
who, above all others, owes his elevation
in the politics! world to the democratic
party.
1t is true the democracy have been de
teated, but not subdued. Their princi,
pies are as imunHtebIc as ever. 1t this
very moment 40 candid 4Hnr can doubt
but that the democratic party is .he domi
nent party of the Union. A whiE tri.
unph can always be put down as an &C
cident; for the permanent power of the
nation is in the hands Of the democracy.
The wings gained this triumph by keep.
ing their principles out of view, and run
ming man for President who was fresh
from the field Of battle land who was en-.
cIrcled by halo Of military glory. To
this alone do they owe their success, for
with any other man, notwithstanding our
divisions, their defeat would have been
overwhelming.
We trust that this result will be sahI
tary lesson to democrats in the future
We have lost our ascendency in the gov
eminent, but our principles remain with
Us, as precious and as sacred as ever
That the democracy will eventually tri.
umph, we are as certs in as we are that
we have an existence. Democratic prin
clp!es may suffer temporary overthrow.
but time will vindicate their importance
to the welfare Of our institutions and peO
pie. The democratic party is emphati.
calIy the party of the country. Its prin.
clPIes are Imper shabIe; and when anoih.
er p re sidtnrial election comes round, il
will arise with a renewed energy and
4 saSe the corrntry from the evils of WICKED
| legislation. Let no democrat falter il
this day ofour tribulatiom; but reunembe
that our defeat was brought on by mos
monstroas scheme eff deception. Let dem
Ocra's re y upon the business Gtheir cause
and Il brighter day will most assuredIy
come over their political horizon.
The whig presses, notwithstanding they
declared during the canvass, that The ole
issues between The parties were "obSO
Ie'e.' are already crying Out for the re
peal of The present tariff and independ
ent treasury, and the restoration of the
tariff OF AZ and the establishment 'of q
national bank. This is as we expected
and proves the dishonesty of our oppo
nents, Vixen we behold the detern&ina
ton Of the whigs TO belle all their profes
sions. we feel thankful to an everything
Providence that The United States Sen
ale is strongly democratic, which vii
prove decided check upon the extrava
CANT and ruthless schemes Of our oppo.
nents. Upon the Senate devplves the
responsibility of saving the Republic from
the evils Of moneyed aristocraey.
