THE RESULT.

THE RESULT. +
We have returns of the vote given for fres-
ident in the United States on Tuesday abun-
dainty sufficient to show that Franklin Pierce
has been triumphantly elected. There is no
room to hope for any thing else. The great
States and most of the little ones, though
Scott has received heavy vote, have almost
all gone for Pierce and Cuba. However
much we might wish it otherwise we are mel
Their discouraged or depressed. Our will and
purposes are as unbroken and unbending as
ever. We well remember how in 1914 Folk
and Texas swept the country, yet how IN four
wears the locofoco party were routed, The
great majority now obtained by them will be,
in the end, an element of weakness rather
than of strength and permanency.
Since the Pennsylvania State election We
had been partially prepared to expect the re-
suit we have We discerned elements at
work that BODIED no good to the Wing party
or the country. Scott is popular in the eoun-
try. The people love and admire him, They
believe he would make splendid Chief Mag
istrate of the nation but the discord i'll the
Wing ranks growing out OF the slavery queS-
ton weakened our party, while the question
ofthe acquisition of Cuba has had a most pow
ertul influence in defeating us. 1t was re-
g,Gred that the Wings 20 for the Compromise
as Il r,,alitq this the great body would not
DO: therefore William ii. Seward and the
PARTY must be sacrificed. This feeling has
been secretly working. not only at the South,
hut in our northern commercial cities, and II
was deeper than ANYBODY imagined. Had

, These are two of the most powerful Gle
ments which worked so disastrously to defeat
, Gen Scott. There Is no STATE in the Union
where one or the other did not exert more or
less influence When he was nominated, no
one had reason to expect that they would en-

Scott, and 10 elect Pierce
But the election is past. The issue is as it
is, and We shall see what we shall see. We
blde our time, confident that the right will,
ere long, prevail,
