THE RESULT IN NEW YORK
There is nothing in the result OF the recent New York
election gratifying TO any democrat whatever may be his
sympathies in respect to the existing divisions. 1t is
simply triumph OF Seward whggery. The entire legis-
latlve and inernal.impT0vement departments OF the
the reelection OF Mr.. Seward TO the United States Sen
ate very likely secured, or at least the choice OF dem
ocraiic successor prevented And this whg triumph Is not
the result of the termination Of whiggey in New York,
for the votes show that the party Is hopelessy in the
minoritythat there ID majority against II in the State
OF probably forty TO sixty thousand. The wings ui-
was forced upon them.
When the official Of the votes is finished il
will probably be found that the section OF the democratic
party known by the nomenclature OF "soit-shelIs has
cast from three TO five thousand votes than the
"hard Shells" each section having polled nearly one
hundred thousand votes. while the wings have poled
something less than hundred and sixty thousand.
Not more than two thirds oil the voters in the Stale at
tended The polls.
The split in the democratic ranks is lameniable, moi
less SO that the division is so nearly equal and unless
reason shall resume her swayunless the present i'm
Filtered state Of feeling shall give place 10 concatoy
counses-uness there shall be reunion OF the demo-
cratic party upon principles Sewardism promises 10 have
prosperous run in New York.
Now that the contest is over. there seems, more than
eyer, 10 have been no jaslifable cause for the split
Nothing has been gained by TO either section of the
party, and there at time any prospect that any
thisg could be gained it. In The distribution of federal
patronage in New York the President pursued the policy
which had been marked out for him no, only by The Bal
morc Convention but by the united democratic party Of
New York which cast its vote for him; and st policy
he iol continue to pursue, and in pursuing il be will have
the approval OF the democracy OF the country. What
ever the leaders of the party in New York may do 10
still further prQlong the division, the President will have
hand in il. Having taken his position. having deter
mined his policy he will adhere TO with frnness that
knows no fnching With the great OF the peo-
pie at his back he be deaf TO the howlngs OF fac
ton and disregard assaults upon his character and upoA
his administration, no matter whence they come.
But II is law in nature that after storm calm
The democracy OF New York cannot long remain divided
