/ The anti-Amerlcan party in the South VIII
most PROFESSIONALLY assert that the American
victory in New York is triumph of freesoi-
ism. Such course viii only be in accord
ance with their invariable custom. We give
below few extracts from New York papers,
sufficient to indicate what conclusions were
drawn by the parties who participated in the
contest; conclusions certainly more reliable
! than any that Southern administration jour
nails can draw.
The n Y. Tribune, Of Thursday, says:

The Tribune is not sure but that the Ameri-
can party has killed Abolitionism. When was
ever democracy suspected or accused OF &C.

The New York Commercial AdrertiSer, a
persistent opponent of the American party,
says, in view of the probable success of the
American party:
We cannot forbear expressing our high gratifca-

In relation to the election of Mr.. Brooks,
the same paper says:
Mr.. Brooks triumph, which is complete, must be
exceedingly gratifying to that gentleman and his
friends and equally Notifying to the Republicans
who prevented his regular nomination, and were

fallen into the pit which he digged for another.
The Tribune of Wednesday, says:
The decline and general caving in of the ''Softs"
with corresponding revival of strength on the
part Of the "llard Shells" will surprise many. We
believe the Hards will be found to have poled a
vote at least twice as strong relatively to that of

the camp of the Softs Had the Hard ballots been
universally accessible and es generally proffered
at the polls those OF the Sotts, we believe the
former would have come out ahead. As it is, the
unusually heavy contribution (ifteen per cent?
levied on our Custom house officials, in aid of the
Soft ticket, seems to have been wasted most scan
dalously. We think the victims are fairly entitled
to an Investigating Committee, with power to do
every thing but recover the money. That is lost
beyond hope.
To show the Southern people farther where
the administration stood in this fight, in which
it has been so signally discounted, we copy, in
conclusion, the following from the Neaos, the
organ of the National Democracy of New
York:

faction and rid US forever of our troubles.
