vIEWs OF THE PRESS.

The leading papers of the country indulge IN
rarious speculations as to the result OF the late
1.ot;on. The New York Journal of Commerce,
a.r statino that it is a verdict of the people IN
s,or of the compromise " in all its parts-of the
Tariff of 1916, and of the measures generally OF
ba Democratic party, adds:
.Tae great misfortune Of Scott was, that he was
bt ont and petted by the Seward clique. The
olGG feared that if elected, he would be too much
PIrthe influence of that dangerous kactlon and oog-
~ "a distribute among them his largest tavors' Inc
Gu ,nIe would not permit this. Had Mr.. Webster or
H. Fillmore been the Wing candidate, or had Gen.
S beeo brought forward in a less offensive man
~ the result might have been different, at ieas' III
- degree. We trust, however, that what mas oeeH
ione will prove to be for the advantage OF the co""-
r in all its Important interests. we Oeie'e "iS'
A. Pierce will administer the government wisely
"a we'll. He belongs to a good old stock-stald'
Iiable and patriotic. He wiki resls$eXtremes. ne
will be President foe the whole country anu ei ;,h
uses Of its inhabitants. He will do his duty faith
fay and fearessly, according to the oes, Oh MS
;rdgment, which we believe is very sound.
The New York Tunes, Wing, says:
Nothing has contributed more 90 the strengtn Oh

If American principles, and warmer regard lol ne ne

Tie Express, also Wing, says:
"Ger. Pierce is elected, it may be said, by accia-
o,;on Cen Winfield Scott is not SO much defeat
L. -outed The hitherto invncible soldier has at
Lat met his Waterloo. 1t is not SO mueh oelea' OF
bo his party as of the gallant sodieC himself, no
has carried down with him nearly all MS suoordi-
ass and in this quarter left scarcely survivor in
the field
The Mirror, Webster paper, attributes General
Scott's defeat to various causes, and adds:
mOf the President elect, we have only to repeat
Aha, he is man of excellent abilities; of undoubted
arotism and of finer personal manners than any pub
lie man we have known since Mr.. Clay. Cordial,
oHhand dign6ed and courteous. he wins the warm
cot affections of all with whom he holds intercourse.
In uersona popularity he will excel any Of his pre-
decessots in the Presidential Chair. The manner in
which all his intimate friends speak of him-as Frank
perce-a good fellow is sufficient indication of
the friendship he inspires
In anpearance. he does not look like the Chief oil
a GREAT Nation. In majesty of person he is not a
Washington, or Fillmore. His figure is slight; his
head not large; his face habituay pale his eye
markably mild and his figure, althoughfa trfe above
the common height is lutte thinner than the aver
age In regard to his principles, we believe him 10
be more conservative than his party. He comes oil
good New England stock and, what is still better
We know him to be thorough We6ster-OntOn man
We believe the country will be safe under his admin
istration. Being elected by what may be regarded
as the will of eighteen millions, out of twenty-five
millions of people, he may we'll feel rich an p0puId,
resources
The New York Day Book, Wing, says:
Stewards game for the Presidency in 1856 is
:olayed out, and the arch-demagogue has been the
loser kbo'itionisR throughout the country has been
ohOlI
tionists spa on slipped out from under them and
let them down nice.
The nomination of General Sect at Baltimore was
of the most outrageous attempts to tyranniZe
;he intelligent portion of the Nhg party, and make
them instrumental in crushing and defeating their old
and long tried leaders, that known among
civilized men. The men who went TO the conven-
zion tFem the western part Of ftrtS State and Penn
sylvana had but object in view, aad that was to
kill off Nfiard Fillmore and the u nien party"
That venerable specimen of antiquity, the Ma
+ional 1nteangencer asserts that " experience I'M
happily teaches that the change must be for the
worse" though it desires to say nothing against
the new chief whom 1t has pleased majority
Of tie veters to call to the helm of State" 1t
adds:
AS change could be for the better. we have too
much reason to dread the effects of the change which
as to cone- The avowed principles of the Young
their nature the reverse of the conservatism which
should guide every Just and honorable government
But though We may be williag to believe General
Pierce much less imbued with the reckless aims pro-
claimed by some OF his leading advocates, and have
Been GLAD 30 Gee frim yesterday defended in prom
nent organ from the very natural impasaton of shar
eng in the aggressive and lawIess policy advanced
oy his active orators yet the leaders of the party
now 10 be in the ascendant PEaPagandists in the
broadcast sense, and &c the most dangerous lengths
The territory Of the q H;ted States, it is il
extent is yet $ooeoHtracted for the ex Panson of the
teuxotc philanthropy. The selection of Presden
5y such party has something in it fearfuly ominou
Of tutEre troubIe.''
The New York Herald says.
The result is, also, great moral Judgment of tn
people against the exhausted Wing idea of gunpow
der avaiabilityS and most emphatic rebuke of tn
miserable policy OF trading With the abotitonists upo
any terms MIR. Webster and Mr.. Fillmore wer
rejected, mainly because they had given offence T.
she ant.slavery Wings Of the Northern Wing party
while General SCOTS availability, apart from, hi
gunpowder capital, consisted almost entirely in hi
good political standing with Seward nd his allies
The Democratic party have a selendld caree
open before them, aRd if tkey fail to appropriate it
che proper advancement of all the great interests
She country, domestic and foreigas they will be held
their responsibility in due But sha
look to Gen. Pierce's administration for domesti
policy and foreign policy which STALL not onl
promote the internal glory and prosperity of tn
Union, but the extension of its power and infue nc
among the nations Of the earth.'
