The New YORK Election.

The result of the New York election is one
from which the South should take heart. The
Black Republican party, headed by Greedy,
Seward g. Co. has been defeated, and the Ad-
ministratiOn faction, under the lead of that
arch agitator, John Van Buren,, and Cochrane,
is signally overthrow. Over all these factions
Americanism has triumphed. The New York
Courier and Enquirer, Black Republican pa
per now, we regret to say, on the morning of
the election, said
Great issues are at stake in this election. The
strict maintenance of the Constitution on the one
hand, andBhe reserved rights Of the States the
other, concerned. The preservation of law aud
order in Kansas is concerned. Rebuke TO those
who, breaking faith, and violating honor, repealed
the Missouri Compromise, is concerned, aud the is
sue also is whether not slavery shall be extended
over territory now free?
The Tribune said:
MEN OF New YORK! the hour of trial is upon
youl If you want the Feder, Territories kept free
from the scourge of slavery according to the terms
oil the Missouri Compact, vote so that your intent
cannot be mistaken
If you want Reeder recognized az Delegate, and
Kansas admitted Free State, vote 80 that every
body will know you mean it!
III you want to rebuke the - DARK BanIeFu Con-
spi1cy, with its selfish plots its proscrptve oaths,
and its excitement of religious feuds to promote
sOrdid, partisan ends, vote the Republican ticket,
which stands square the platform OF Equal Rights
for All
Thus it will be seen that Federal politics was
made the main issue in the contest, and the
whole Free Soil strength and influence of the
State was arrayed against the American party.
Yet that party triumphed, nobly, signaly. All
honor to the Empire State.
The reelection to the State Senate of Hon.
Erastus Brooks, editor of the N. Y. Express,
is direct verdict against the political interior
ence of Bishop Hughes. Our readers will re-
collect that it was Mr.. Brooks who so signally
overthrow the Archbishop in the controversy
on the Church Property Bill, and the Arch
bishops huge accumulation of wealth. Mr..
Brooks has always been on the side of the
South against the fanatics Of the free States,
and his paper to-day is the only daily in
the city of New York, except the Day Book,
that takes national grounds on the subject of
slavery.
