Fruits Of Victory.

The following, from the New York Mirror, tells
the whole story. It is brief and to the point and
is worthy of special attention;
The Americans, after various disasters incident
to new, imperfectly organized party, are closing
up their ranks, and planting their victorious BAN
ners in every section of the Union. Considering
their age in the political drama their triumph has
been ample. 0ver-success is over-eevating and
destructive. Hard fought battles and occasional de-
feats discipline new forces, and train raw recruits
into veterans. 1t will be better for them in the
great coming contest that they have found, in
these preliminary skirmishes, some obstacles in the
way. 1t has taught them the need of unity and
harmony in their councils, and of vigilance aud en-
dnrance at every out post and in all their camps
The field now lies broad, and clear before the
Americans They are in power in New York,
Ohio California Louisiana, Maryland Kentucky,
Delaware Massachusetts,, Connnectcut, New
Hampshire and Rhode Island-and hvae proved
their ability to carry Pennsylvania on square
American ISSUE In a national contest, with fair
platform and strong leaders, can carry Indiana,
illinois, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia-and we
oubt not Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas and North
carolina. At any rate, no other can boast so fair
respect of national success in 1856.
The victories just won, Will add vastly to the
hanees and influence of the American party
heir best fruit will be to thousands in every
american movement, but who, tmid and wayerilg,
ave consulted their caution and waited to see
whether American triumph was certain. These
thousands will now rush intosthe American ranks,
nd many 'leadng" men of old parties, who have
eretofore fought the American battle under cover
will come out and fight openly, and will bring the
lependants on their example with them. The NOR
| influence of the American victory in the great
tate of New York, with its one fifth of the white
population of the Union, can hardly be over
estimated.
II the battle in this State were to be fought over
tomorrow, the victory of Tuesday would add 25,-
900 to the American column. The scattered forces,
the Camp followers, the doubters and waverers, ali
tend to the victorious side-in politics as in war
A great thing for the American party these tri-
umphs in New York. Massachusetts,, and Maryland
as great in their influence on the masses of the
people, as in their direct results. They are song
and prophecy of national triumph.
As to future political combinations in this State,
there can be little doubt that there will be but three
in the coming national contest-the American, the
Republican, and the "Hard" Democratic. The
Softs" will be kicked out from, or refused access
to the Democratic National Convention, and all
their force that does not go back to the Hards will
DIN the Republicans. The Van Burens will have
10 other field next year but to work with Seward,
Weed and Greedy. Such is one the of edicts written
on the wall by the election just past. That the
Americans can beat either of these opposing forces
in 1856, We have not doubt.
