THE REPU BLIC,

origin and progress OF the canvass, encountered
more than the ordinary obstacles and difficulties.
First, we had the united Democracy to contend
with. This has heretofore been sufficient TO en-

this was only the beginning OF our embarrassments.
Inc measures and policy OF the General Admins

cessary, however, to harmonize with the National
Administration, and this 9aa done al a considera-

spending compensation. Too many of the friends
OF the Administration either refused to support the
| Wing ticket, while others gave il but qualified
or partial, or cold supports and many officers of
| the General Government have been in constant
| communication and collision with our political
| opponents.
"Cizens Of New York, four ffths Of whom had

strife and bitterness is now its aim. No one
knows better than the editor of the Journal that

1t could, with propriety, to secure that result.
This has been again and again proclaimed in

most active In their support of the Wing ticket,

and those who take their cue from that print.

Result of the Election.
| Although full returns have not yet reached us,
we have received information enough to show that
the Wing State ticket is defeated in part at least,
and that the Legislature will be divided, if not
wholly against 1t is perhaps too to dis
CUES the which have produced this result
That cannot be done intelgently and satislac
torily till the smoke has cleared away from the
field.
Some facts connected with the case are, however,
obvious to all. Our political opponents were more
thoroughly united than it anticipated they
could be. Forgetting pact differences, and over
looking all discrepancies of principle, they went
shoulder to shoulder together in the for the
spoils The Wing party went into the contest on
the basis of the Albany agreement.
The State nominations were accepted and sus-
tanned by the friends of the Administration as be-
ing substantially in accordance with the compro-
mise agreed upon by the committees. But the
county nominations generally made in stu
died disregard open Reputation of the Albany
agreement-"Silver Greys' being systematically
prescribed. Such was VIGOROUSLY the case in this
county, where it was openly proclaimed that some
of the nominations were made and sustained be-
cause their success would be 'the death of the Sill
yer Greys," and where n candidate declared that
he 'dd not wish Silver Greys to vote for him. as
he preferred to be elected without their assist
anco."
When nominations are prompted and candidates
actuated by such spirit, it cannot excite astonish-
ment, however much it must be deplored, that our
political opponents succeed.
But enough of these reflections for to- day. We
shall not, however, shrink at proper time from
full fair and fearless consideration of the charac-
teristcs and circumstances of the recent election.
