Taylor had realised marve at the last Presidential
election, threw themselves the side Of the demo
oras with fiery impetuosty, which appeared to
ssy to the wbigs-"We gave you eur influence
only In consequence Of foreign influences to tho
policy. These influences do not exist any more;
we joyfuy take again the place which ws had
only casually abandoned" The Southern States,
the democratic sympathies Of which were self
evident above oil dragged away by the desire of
protesting sgainst the secret thought which pre-
sided to the choice Of General Scott--they have
repulsed him wIorgfully. or with good grounds, as
the representative Of policy, If not ali hostile, at
least formidable to their interests The desire of
avoiding all new agitation, 0pr0pos Of slavery aud
devotion to tie Union, ia found, Also by the fact,
to have spguiary contributed to the victory Of tho
democracy.
The wings. besides, gathered only what they had
sowp, and did not keep account Of tho generous
sentiments which animated oil political opinions.
The nation wanted candidate upon whose orthO-
doxy, on the most delicate questions no suspicion
could be entertained and they took the man who
WAS offered to them by the political mass whose al
liapce alone sufficient to inspire susp cons to
the most sapguine it wanted a statesman whose
tried capacity could be equal to the grave emergen-

and they chose a soldier, superior, no doubt, in
his occupation, but inadequate, according to all APP
pearances for the functions imposed oy civil gov

THE GERMAN VIEW.
Translated from the New Yorker Stats Zeitung
The great battle is over, and SCOTS army, dra-
goons, srtllersts, infantry, cannon, baggage, and
all lie low and the last representative of the whig
party is ready to take his departure up Salt river.
General Pierce sat high upon his horse, aad led on
the attack bravsy This time he kept his seat, al
though the terror of the day was not less than at
ChurubHsco The best canvasscr that Franklin
Pierce had was, without doubt, General Scott; and
in expressI g our thanks to him. we hope that he
may long live to hear the rich Irish brogue" and
the "sweet German accent !" General Pierce has
not promised So a.dsy and roast beef, but we be-
leve that be will conduct the administration Of this
country truly, fearlessy, honestly, and patrioti-
cally.
Besides an upsullied private character the history
of Franklin Pierce evioces his thorough Statesman
like qualities, ar his parta!ity to the principles
laid down by Jeierson--sevsre economy IN all Off
cal matters sparipg of the public money, careful in
entering into contracts strongly opposed to al mono
poles tuch as the United States Bank, and a deter
mination to preserve the Union in its integrity.
Such man is Franklin Pierce In contradistinc
tion to this have only the military services Of
General Scott which both the whg and democratic
parties have delighted to extol; but the American
people have not been blinded by his military repu-
tstion, and the lesson has been taught, tina. al.
though be may be great in that capacity, it does
not follow that bis civil qualifications sufficient
to enable him to fill the Presidential chair with
credit and honor to the country.

Before our paper OF to-day is perused by our read
eYs the result OF yesterday election will be declared
by the choice Of General Pierce and his colleagues
by an immense majority. On previous occasion
we have said that we almost wished that the demo-
cratic party might prevail in this contest to afford
our country men an opportunity Of being undeceived
The opportunity has now arrived The executive
will be d. mocratic, the congress is democratic, the
try and towns are democratic in fast all is de-
mocIatic; and now, democrats, it remains with you
to Go your duty We regard this popular vote as by
no means q correct one, for, like individual, a
people may often err, and the multitude act gener-
ally without reflection; aud we must express our
opinion that to the present administration, to some
extent, may be attrbutedAour defeat, and also to
the present democratic congress, identified as it is
with the executive, who have influenced the mass
es Of the people
