The New ApMISIsrRATIoE--Dis Discordant
Elements.--The National Era, very digni-
fed and ably edited Free Soil puper publish
ed in Washington city, has an article upon
the result of the late election, from which
we take the following extract:
HThe Democrats have achieved great
victory, and the whole world of progress
now lies open before them. The party is
made up Of discordant materials Barnburn-
ers, Slavery Propagandists, Disunionists,
Compromisers, Hunkers and Progressives,
have united in supporting one man for the
Presidency, but will hardly unite upon any
great question likely to come up for consd-
Grafton. The evening Post and ribune are
not more opposed to each other, than the
Post and Richmond Examiner; and there is
really more affinity between Mr.. Venable
and the Inteligencer than between John
Van Buren, aud the Washington Union
Already the extreme men of the South are
counting up their gains. Texas is to be cut
up into four slave States; the attempt to d.
vide California is to be renewed; Cuba is to
be annexed, and, as compensation to the
North, the Sandwich Islands are to be taken
under our protection. The fox has already
got his footin Hayti,and the gradual absorp-
ton of Mexico is question of time. The
Northern Democrats who sustained Mr..
Polk in his conquest of California and Mex
leo, and then agtated for Freedom till Cali
forna was recognized as free State, wrest-
ing from slavery the spoils it had aimed at
are now the supporters Of General Pierce,
aud they claim voice in the counsels of the
Administration they have brought into pow
er. How will their claims be decided by
those of their Southern allies who look TO
Pierce as the instrument Of their gigantic
schemes of slavery empire! Th9 future is
pregnant with strife. Gen. Pierce may cal
culate on anything but tranquil Admins
tration."
In addition to all these discordant elc-
ments, he will have to choose from an army
OF office-seeks, as numerous as the locusts of
Egypt, each one prepared to show the utmost
zeal and activity in promoting his election,
and the disappointed aspirants will be any
thing else than amable when their claims
are rejected. There's fun ahead, if nothing
worse.
ONO LEGIsLATURE.-In the Senate, u
bill was introduced supplementary to the act
to provide for compensation to owners of
private property when appropriated for the
use of corporations. Also bill to change
the hour of closing the polls. The State
journal says:
"But light progress in Legislation yeStcr-
day. The members have not all arrived
and the machine has not yet fairly started.
The militia bill was considered in the Sem
ate,i committee.
In the House, the resolutions asking the
Governor and Heads Of Departments to COM
municate the state of public affairs, were pas
sed, though 26 Locofocos voted against one
of them. What it means, we don't know.
When the resolution to appoint committee
TO notify the Governor, was read in the Sen
ate, that body laid it on the table. Some
say these votes against the resolution are in
sults to the Governor. We don't think so;
but there is a screw loose some where, and
time sill tell what ii means"
If the Wings succeed in gettinga publicu-
tim Of tAe expenses of the State Govern
ment for "the year one Of the new ConaIitu-
tion in the hands Of its friends" they Will be
luckier than they have been 80 far this year.
FREE TRADE TaiUMpAAyT.--Y1s est crday' IS
Telegraph says, In an article upon the late
election, 'the late election, therefore, is q
decided free trade victory" |, is well to put
it on record. The British party were not as
honest before the election, and those men,
bers of that party who said they were in IA
vor of fostering and encouraging Home In
dustry and building up Home Markets, can
now see where they stand. Let them now
raise up their huts and shout with their pa
pers--"Hurrah for Free Trlde! Hurrah for
the pauper labor Of England! Hurrah foi
British Capitalists! Down with American
Manufacturers!'
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIoN.--We are
not yet postedup in the result, that is the
particulars of the defeat. Every LocoIocc
paper stares us in the face with chicken
cocks and big figures, and as we have no de-
sire to infict similar punishment upon on'
readers, we will wait for the details and give
them an allopathic dose, that they may take
