TnR RESnLr IN NEW YORK.


The wings talk of the defeat Of the democracy IN
New York being rebuke to the administration
If the defeat of the democratic party in State is
rebuke TO the administration, OF course Its success
in other States is an endorsement of the admins
tration. The administration, then, has been re-
linked bv fro States; in two Others Kentucky
and Verynont there was drawn battle and in
a., r.,,,snine fareqfy-seres1 the administration has
been sustained. generally by overwhelming ma
iorites. Any reasonable democrat ought to be sat
is6ed with such result
But in New York the democrats elect those can
didates who were on both tickets; showing that
the wings were successful, not because they had
majority of the voters, but because the democrats
wore divided The Ne,y York T-ibune-the organ
Of the successful party in that State-says:
Corn SrATE ELEcTIox.-It was Charles Towns
bend if we rightly remember, from whom Sheri-
dan borrowed his bon mot on the Peace OF Amlens
that II was one of which every body was glad
and nobody was proud The remark applies with
eoual force 10 the result of our election. The
Wings have the Canal Board, the State Depart
ment and both branches of the Legislature, yet no.
body magines that the Wing party as such de-
serves any credit for this result. Its attitude IS
that of a clown into whose cap traveller has
chucked dollar just for the sake Of enjoying his
amusement The Democratic party saw fit to quar-
rel and throw the State away; and the Wings
have it because they could not help themselves
Of the 100000 Wing electors in the State, not
more than 10000 have voted the Wing State
Ticket this year. Almost every where, the Silver
trays were in open revolt or secretly leagued with
the adversary Their organs at Utica and SYRIA
euse were sold out during the canvass, and became
onenly Hard as they viii continue. Those at Can
andagua and Rochester were busy IN getting up
and supporting boiling tickets against the regular
Wing nominees and then in trading OF the Wing
State ticket for Hard and Soft votes for their bolt
ing Congressman or Senator. If apathy, intestine
feuds and general anarchy could have defeated the
regular Wing ticket that result would have been at
taned but the crack in the Wing party runs very
close to the further edge Of it, while that in the
Democracy was right through the middle and
manilestly past surgery. He who desires to prove
that the Wing party has still healthfnl vitality
must offer some further evidence than that afforded
by our recent election
We assert, and challenge contradiction that at
no time during the last twenty years has any ad-
lnnistraLion been as well sustained by the people
the first year after being installed in power as has
that of Gen. PIERCE during its first year. The first
year is the most difficult Of all; because, during
that year. all the mercenary, who fight for the
spois" are to be disappointed 1t is then that the
party is to be slted of mere soldiers Of fortune
The sitting process this year has been accompanied
with great deal of noises yet, that all the
elections are over find the ADMINISTRATION sustain
eddy unprecedented majorities in twenty-seven OF
the thirty-one States; and whiggery successful in
only two States, and in one &c those successful only
because the democrats saw fit to quarrel
If whggery is content with such result-a re-
of last November result consgning them to
powerless and hopeless minority forever" let al
the people say amenl"
