cent overhaang of the trophies Of victory; and in
the Wing prints marked evidences Of disappont-
men and modification, though many instances, ex-
pressed under the guise of generous and light
hearted resignation. The first specimen Of the tri.
umphal expression is from the n Y Jour- of Com.
political print of conservative character that
it is difficult to say to which party it most belongs
Thus:
"FOUND IN BAD CoMPANY'-This NAV he SET
down as the verdict Of the American people against
lien. Scott. The N. Y. Journal Of Commerce saws
'Ihe verdict is condemnation of Sewar,iism, and
AL that class of ultra doctrines which for several
years past have been preached by the Albany Evening
Journal the N. Y Tribune, and their CIV il associates
The great misfortune of Scott was, that he was
brought out and petted by the Seward Clique. The
people feared that If elected, he would be too much
under the influence of that dangerous Elction and
Obliged To distribute among them his largest favors
The people would not permit this. Had Mr.. Web
ster or Mr. Fillmore been the Wing candidate, or had
Gen. Scott been brought forward in less offensive
manner, the result might have been different at least

done, will prove to be for the advantage Of the coun-

fearessly, according to the best of his judgment,

The N. Y. Spec, Whig dscou:scs thus: The
worst enemy of the Wing party could not wish that
party more thorough defeat than that Of YESTERDAY
In city. county state and Union, we are overwhelmed
by Democratic ma oritics, to extent that perhaps
scarcely any one anticipated, and for which we Ger
family were not prepared. However, il is the decs-
ION Of the people, spoken with voice that entities
to prompt and cheerful recognition, and we bow to
that decision without nlurrnur tho,gh not without
disappointment.
This is not the time to inquire into the proxinr,c
causes OF such defeat. They are indeed toIeraby
apparent, and cannot fail to TO even the least
olscrvant of politicians. We pass them by at prcs
en, merely renuking that this sweeping defeat of all
shades OF Wings may possibly lead to a better under
standing all round We nope it may, for the lesson
is a severe one, aud we need the hope of its being
rseful to support lis under its infection.
In the meantime our Democratic friends will have
an opportunity of showing how wisely and how well
they can Use great victory and WE'LL the sccptrc of
governments and the Wings will have the dcIec,abI,
alternative al showing with wha; ineffabc good hui
NOR they can bear great defeat, and forget the o-
,tcai hue of the government the fact that it is
Amelicau and Republican.
