] The Democratic party have, or shortly will have
! the National Government at their own disposal.
| 1t is curious to note in what multitude of ways
| it is expected they will use it,
| The Washington Union welcomes their triumph
ms the death-blow to Anti-Slavery agitation" and
| " sectionalism" thus:
First and foremost then, think it that the
main public sentiment in this country which calls itself
conservatism, has repudiated and abured forever that
sectional party Of which Mr. Seward is the special repre-
sentative The commanding voice of New York was need
ed IN its whole power and Significance to give
to the country that sectional aggression, predomi
nant element in national politics, is longer be
endured. All honor to the united Democracy of New
York. which, through the policy and in the power of its
union has now given that full and final assurance.
The New York Anti, Slaoery Standard, on the
other hand, sees in It'll promise of success for its
views, and the downfall of Wing Hypocrisy
For the have at heart we had nothing to hope
from the Wings in power; and if have any thing to
fear from the opposite party that in measure may
be counterbalanced by what may hope for from the
Wings defeated Mr. Greeley has urged the South to elect
Gen Scott sefdefence the triumph Of his would
make Northern Aboltonsts. The prediction we hope
will do more credit his foresight than the feeling
which prompted il does to his honesty At any rate as
we have often said the Wings always best in opposi
ton.
The american Ceh anticipates from the Access
sion of Gen. PIERCE prospect of the liberation of
the Irish exiles. 1t says:
The New York Herald of last week contained long
letter from Mr. Thomas David Reilly editor of the De-
mocratc Review, Gen. Pierce entreating his aid for
the Irish exiles in Australia expressing the writer's
warm appreciation" of the Generals character.
We sincerely trust should Gen. Pierce be elected his
efforts in this behalf viii be of avail than those of
Mr. Fillmore and Mr.. Webster Indeed we think it quite
possible that.a little zeal from new Administration
would effect the purpose Of the Irish delegates to Wash
ington
The Manchester Mirror and the Journal of Conn
nece on the contrary congratulate each other that
the time Of counting the favor of the Irish !" is
over:
FROM THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE..
The Manchester IN H. Mirror refers as follows to one
of the most reprehensibe means of eectioneernp which
has been used SO freely during the late Presidential cam
pagn by all parties, and which has caused much oath
ing and disgust in the minds Of those upon whom it was
intended to operate, well among all other right
minded men.
The election is Once more Protestant is lust
as good as Catholic, and native born citizen as for
eigner Not having any imported blood in our veins we
have not felt on equality with mankind for few
months past.
The Eoeaiag Post views the advent of Gen
PIERCE as guaranty that lavish expenditure and
favoritism in office will not be tolerated:
In the present election all parts of the Union have
joined in calling the Executive chair man educated
IN the maxims OF the most rigid of Democratic eco
nomssa man who has always set his face against every
form Of profusion who has always required consttu
ona warrant for every expenditure; whom neither
terry nor sophlstry, hope of personal advantage
means so often used with public men, and too often with
eect-have been able sway to the side of extra
vagance This is the sort Of whom the people have
chosen with most extraordinary unanmity: nav with
an absolute enthusiasm, to succeed Mr.. Fillmore A
sense OF the abuses praced has to every part
of the country, and the people insist upon reform.
But the Buffalo Republic looking at it from an
other point, thus predicts while it deprecates the
coming rush for ''spoils and plunder:'
OFFIcE-SEEKERs.It is to be expected that there will
be great many Offices fall into Democratic hands which
are now held by Wings in consequence of the change of
administration both National and State. The important
question which occurs to peculiarly important Just
now is, Shall Democrats take upon themselves the
odous and almost murderous character that has dis
tnguished Wing Office seekers 90
We alude to this subject thus early that if possible
we anticipate with protest the furious onset Of
snoss nr such there be- who have an ns to the
more"
LIS it not sad to think that all these bright hopes
can never be realized? Professions may be dupli-
cate, but acts must be single. The new Administra-
ton cannot be proslavery and anti slavery natvist
and foreign, frugal and lavish of patronage, all at
once. Some of its creators must be disappointed
And yet each of them is confident of success Verify
!" to whom much is given, of them shall much be
| required"
Power is about to pass into Democratic hands,
such as never before placed in the hands of any
political party. 1t will be their own fault if it is
not wisely used for there is scarcely an obstacle left
to hinder them from adopting what course they
please, and carrying it to whatever lengths they see
fit Democratic principles will have fair trial If
they are such as will promote the welfare of our
country, then we and all good citizens will have
reason to rejoice in their adoption and in the strength
which has been given them. If they are not, time
will expose their fallacy and vindcate the right
Our part is a simple one-to wait.
