THE RESULT.

sob who that shared them ever shall forget
The emoions of the spirit-rousing lime
When breahless in the mart the couriers met,
Early aul late, at evening and prime;
When the bud cannon and the merry chime
Hailed news on news field on field won
When Hoe, long doubtful, scared at length sublime,
And ourgad eyes, awake day begun
Watchd Jys broad banner RISE to meet the rising
"Oh thse hours when thrilling Joy repaid
long, long course Of darkness, doubts, and fears
The heaItsick fainness Of the hope delayed;
The waite, the wo, the bloodshed, and the tears
That tracPd with terror twenty rolling years
All wasforgot in that blithe jubilee
Her dnwrast eye cen pale Affection rears
To sgi thankful prayer amid the glee
That hald the robbers fall, and Peace and Liberty y
We announce no news to the readers OF this pa
per in mixing proclamation that the Wing cause
has signaly triumphed in the country, in the cleo
ton OF IlcHARY TAYLOR and WILLARD FILLMORE
as President and Vice President of the United
States. This fact has ere this become known even
in the distant portions of our widespread Union;
and perMps no mere party success could have been
received with such general satisfaction, or so
strengthen the hopes of the American people. The
pacific s'irit of the great and patriotic party by
whom tits victory has mainly been achieved-the
forbearW disposition of the President elect, and
the deep desire Of the mass of the people to be
lieved frm the harassing circumstances existing
thus far through this Administration afford an
abundant guaranty that the Government will for the
next fou: years pursue the path trod by the early
fathers, and our country seek to fulfil, in proper
sphere }, action, its legitimate destiny-the destiny
purposed for it by the Ruler Of nations.
The occasion is one when Wings may well re-
joice and be glad; but their JOY should be that of
patriots rather than partsans. To be delivered
from the long catalogue of indignites heaped upon
us through many weary years, will unavoidably
give rise to outbreaks of mere partisan enthusiasm
but, above all ant beyond all such manifestations of
Joy, should be tie remembrance that we are fellow
countrymen Of hose who have been outnumbered
in this general section; that we have one cour-
try-one constaution-one destiny" are all bound
i'll one sheaf, and all have stake in the admins
ton Of public affairs.
The labors and responsible to be devolved
upon he new Administration will be vast and per-
picking, neve: more so since the foundations of the
Government were laid but there is the fullest con-
| tidenct that with Gen. TAYLOR at the helm, and
through the able men whom he will undoubtedly
call 10 bis assistance together with the action of the
Peoples representatives in the National Legislature
the country will be recovered from embarrassments
resting heavily upon il. Public affairs in some re-
spects Sosely resemble what they were upon the
accessa of Gen. Harrison; when the rash mea-
sures OF Zen. Jackson-not avered during the Pre-
sdencybf Mr.. Van Buren-were felt in full force;
but in atcther particular the responsibility of the
new Administration will be vastly augmented by
having thrown upon it the adjustment of difficulties
and profdng for the liquidation Of enormous debts
growngout of the Mexican war. Never, perhaps,
since we were an independent people, there
more urgent necessity for the exercise Of wisdom
and moderation by the Chief Magistrate. That the
discretioi SO eminenhy needful for the times will
be found in the President-elect there is no doubt;
and through him, his Cabinet, and Wing Con-
gress, there is to entertain the fullest
ance that every reasonable public expectation will
be met and the country restored to the safe republ
can course il formerly travelled.
There is now every inducement in the world for
the Wing party 10 take courage and move forward.
II urgreat men rightly employ their abilities, and
seek by all suitable instrumenalites TO satisfy the
publ: expectation to bring order from chaos, and
substitute prosperity for embarrassment, far as
such things are in the hands of mere morals we
may have permanent ascendency in the country.
The victory Of 1910 was the rout of Leipsc by
digencs, discretion, and patriotic labors in behalf
Of an embarrassed country this may be made the
permanent triumph Of Waterloo.-N. n. States'n.
