The Result OF tho Electisn-Triumph Of tho
seward Party.
As will be seen by our telegraphic despatch
es. published in another column, the Seward
whig ticket has been victorious throughout the
State. The battle is decided the State which
gave Pierce majority Of aome twenty-seven
thousand one year ago, has now clearly ranged
itself on the side Of the most inveterate foe to
the principles on which our President was
elected 1t matters little now whether the Van
Buren, or the Dickinson policy prevail among
the democrats. The sceptre has departed from
them, and henceforth the real power in this State
viii be in the hands of William III. Seward.
For the next three years he will WELD more
extensive control over the affairs of New York
than any other statesman. No whig can rival
his sway his accustomed cunning will prevent
breaches IN his party, and consolidate the
triumph Of yesterday. It were futile to expect
"A cessation Of the strife which now cripples the
democratic party. On neither side can any
symptoms of desire for Cancellation be dis
covered and while some few will adhere with
the steadfastuess of honest conviction to the
great principles on which Pierce was elected
another large section, won over by the glitter
ing bait of the spells, will afford vacillating
support to the Cabinet and, so far as principle
is concerned, will waver between the thorough
paced free soilism Of the Van Burenites, and
the more insidious treason Of Marcy and Guth-
lie. Others again-and these will probably
constitute the bulk OF the old party-disgusted
by The reckless disregard Of principle evinced
by the Cabinet, will probably complete the
general disorganization Of the democracy by
holding themselves entirely aloof from politics
Being thus invested with supreme power in
this State William II. Seward will lose no time
il taking active measures for the realization Of
his presidential scheme. He will be able to
neuualze all the intrigues OF his rivals, and
to defeat, by his influence, the prospects Of any
man whose name shall be mentioned in New
York for the Presidency Of 1856. In this task
he viii receive valuable support from the pre-
sent administration. Not only will they succeed
in spreading disgust aud Indifference among
& large class which would otherwise have been
an uuccmpromising foe 10 Seward, but they
viii infallibly, by their open aud covert encour-
agernent Of free soilism, exercise potent infu-
ence in swelling the ranks Of his supporters.
Those among the Secretaries who might be ex-
pected, az democrats. to range themselves
among his opponents, will long before the &C
tive contest begins have disabled themselves,
by their imbecility aud want Of principle, from
achieving any practical results for the party.
On the other hand, the news OF this Seward
victory will give new life and yigor to the abc-
litionists throughout the country. The free
sellers Of Massachusetts, and the other Eastern
States, together with The rank abolitionists Of
New York and Ohio, will revive at once to cou-
rage and activity. Fresh elasticity VIII charac-
terize their movements and we cannot doubt
that organizations Of the most extensive and
determined character will at once be formed
throughout the North. AL who have been
Stewards supporters throughout! bis career, al
who opposed the Compromise measures, all
who bate The South, and all who love the
administration, WILL before many montss
elapse, be regularly enrolled in new faction,
whose aim and purpose it will be to make Viii
liam H. Seward the next President Of the
United States al the sour We write, private
correspondence has doubtless already been
commenced with view TO the arrangement Of
prelininaries; and every jealous enemy to the
constitution is eager TO distinguish himself by
some act Of treason to his country and friend
ship for Seward A very short while will
elapse before the newspaper organs Of the new
party-the Times and Tribune Of this city,
and the Albany EOeHing Journal-will break
ground for their chief and master. One Of the
number viii probably continue for some time
to DO double duty, for the administration and
for Seward; but the former will soon be drop
ped, and the Seward flag boldly hoisted alone.
With such prospect before us-and we DO
not think we have exaggerated 1.-THE .oo-
mentous inquiry viii suggest itself to the mind
Of every honest 1nan-Whst must we do to
ave the country and the Union?
Sober thought can dictate but ono course.
Means must be taken by all who still 1--we .he
Union, TO organize new political party. Both
Ct the old ones are eG6te. Treason impregnates
their life-blood. Seward on tie one aide aad
Marcy o. the other, are equally hostile 10 tie
constitution. TO substitute other men Of Ike
standing and principles would be to PFotract
and enbittor the disease. Both parties have
ceased to command the public confidence, ana
Goth must be unhinchngIy abandoned. Anew
one must be formed on their wreck--a new one,
rot resting on tranpery platform, organized
by a handful Of greedy, spo,Is-seekipg poiti-
clans. but firmly anchored on the great rock Of
the constitution and the compromise. 1t would
be the duty OF such party to adopt measures
lor establishing u closer and firmer union b.
tween the North AID Che South, and, for TIE
purpose d consolidating the bonds which now
unite them, and strengthening the cleneAts Of
Fraternity which ought TO exist between all toe
Steses Of this republic. to have resolutions in
troduced Into Congress, carrying out pract-
caly tho aim and inlpnk of lhe iromor-
