The Triumph and its Teaching.

The Triumph and its Teaching.
II is now clear that the national democratic party has
swept the country and the whole country and that it
stands 10 an attitude OF sovereign power altogether unex
amped in the history OF any party organized party
the United States for il is. far this aspect OF the
is concerned. quite immaeria whether the wings
have saved for General Scott the electoral uoiss Of Massa
ehusets Tennessee. and Kentucky, whether Vermont
alone forms the column" which General Scott now
leads" nasmuch each of the aboye-named States if
carried by the wings, has been carried only by the almost
total destruction of their usual whig majortes. Ger
tanly in no one State but Tennessee, and. as we
feel fully assured not there has General Scott
a majority OF the popular vote In the great centre
of the country, the other hand-n the four States
of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana
with sole reference 10 which General Scott was put
In nomination, the people have risen up in mass
against him, and given the entirely unexamped majority
for the democratic candidates OF hundred thousand
uOlss, aud perhaps more This popular verdict is final
and conclusive there is appeal from it and the
only question now is Whai does msa and Uhat does
teach
First and foremost, then, think it means that the
main public sentiment in this country, which calls itself
has epudiaed and abured forever, bolh that
sectional policy, OF which Mr. Seward is the special rep
was supposed to constitute the whole of Gen Scotps
personal availability.
II is ayouched as fact that Mr. Webster sent as his
dying message" TO OF his chefest friends, the
preston of his conviction that after the second day of
November 1852, the whg party national party will
exist only in history" The people have now sgnalIy
verified those weighty words. The whg party lies to-
day in broken fragments all the land-a wreck
A.
rises in every rehec ting mind What shall be the next
form and name in which the sef-styled conservatism of
the country--that conservatism which has always op-
posed and feared the democratic party-sha now organ
ze Towards the solution of this question little
now be than that any such oganzaon unlike the
whg party of DID, mlst abjure sectional fanacsm and
prejudice of its of power and must in
clude in its creed distinct recognition of the sancy
of "lhe common brotherhood" and the obligation "of
the common bond" among the States of the Union. In
other words, party live national party, nor
escape annihating defeat a sectional party, which
does make fundamental in its organization the policy
of peace and justice between the North and the South
This great step forward in national politics Ii
is truth worth almost the whole tremendous and mos,
perous sectional struggle which its establishment has
cost
portance, the immense popular accamation with which
Sewardsm has been rebuked and repudiated in its
home-the Empire State. Had this been otherwise. the
glory of this great victory had been incomplete 1t is
ue that in her great election OF last year, the noble old
Keystone State had placed herself in the front of the
battle for the peace of the Union. and glorousy fought
ii through and the mighty majority by which she has
now sustained and fortified the national position she
then assumed atests and sgnalizes the profoundness
and the power of her patriotic devotion the Union
and to that time -honored democratic policy in which
alone the peace of the Union can be secured Yet,
in spite of all this, the commanding voice Of New
York needed, in its whole power and significance,
to give assurance the country that sectional agrees
sion, as a predominant element in national poll
tics is no longer 10 be endured. All honor the uni
ted democracy OF New York, which, through the pol
icy and in the power OF its union, has given tha,
full and final assurance 1t has struck down forever
in his own stronghold that bold, crafty and unscrupu
lous party leader, who, through his sway the whg
ganizalon in his State has been enabled for the
first time in history TO organize and control the
whg party of the country TO all the fatal purposes OF
sectional agitation
Ii is most gratifying and cheering TO note the fact that
the democratic party of the North has risen with resist
less power and by its own vote done enough to place
in the presidential chair the candidate designated first by
the South herself the representative of justice and
peace and loyalty the whole of the constitution in the
relations existing between the sections of the
Try This is deed fully worthy the best and grandest
days Of our republic The South will doubtless accept it
and respond to il guarantee OF the benehcent
and patriotic power of that democratic principle and policy
in which not only the peace OF the Union, bu, its prosper
