The General Result--A Glorious Tri-
umph.
We cannot longer forbear to give Jubl-
liant shout over the decided victory which
the national Democracy have achieved In
the election of their Presidential candidates.
1t is triumph of patriotism which must
rejoice the heart of every one who values
the future well being and perpetuity of our
country: aud no one should restrain that
outburst Of gratitude and joyfulness which
= such an event must inspire.
! The true men of the country trembled
at the danger which defeat of the De-
mocracy in the recent political contest
would have brought upon the nation. If
it had not resulted in an immediate disrup-
ton of the confederacy, it would have pro-
duced an alienation of feeling and section
al discord which would have eventually
terminated in that unprecedented evil But
happily these fears ended and the reign of
peace, harmony and of national prosperity
will be again inaugurated with the admin
istration of the President elect
After the fourth of march next the entire
administration CT the General Government
will be under the control of the Democrat
cy. There will be no factious opposition
to stay any public measure necessary for
the good of the country. The interests
and rights of the whole nation will have a
just and impartial regard, and the bond of
Union, which has made us great, happy
and prosperous people, will receive new
strength and frmness.
Mr. Buchanan has ably and faithfully
filed every position in which he has been
placed. His public career has honorably
identified him with the history of the ma
ton for over forty years. His spotless in
tegrity of character-his tried patriotism
his able craftsmanship, and that honorable
ambition which would inspire any man
placed in the exalted position he is, to do
all in his power to hand down an unsullied
name to posterity, is full guarantee that
lis administration will have but one end
the commn welfare and glory of the coun
try. He is, also, pledged to single
term--his age forbids him TO expect re-
election-and in this we have an addition
al assurance of disinterested administra-
ton OF the government.
The name of John c. Breckenridge, our
gallant Vice President elect, is synony-
nous with all that is manly, noble and
chivalrous. He will ably fill the po-
sition in which he has been placed. and if
the contingency should occur, he will
grace the seat which has been filled by the
great and good of the land.
The Democracy have gone before the
country upon fair and square issue of
their principles and they have triumphed-
gloriously triumphed. When fanaticism
hcwled, and threatened to open the flood
gates of error, of anarchy, and the demon
disunion stalked through the land, the De-
mocracy jumped into the breach, gallantly
met the enemy and conquered. 1t was
fearful struggle, and it is glorious victo-
ry- And why should we not rejoice--re-
joice in victory unequaled, in all its pha-
ses, by any political contest known to our
history with all those outbursts of enthusi-
asm which the occasion suggests.
The issue which has just been decided,
awakened deep interest in every part of
the civilized world. 1t was regarded as
decisive of the future prosperity Of the ma
ton, by those abroad who understood the
question involved And the result will be
hailed with heartfelt satisfaction by all who
value constitutional liberty, and who have
watched with trembling anxiety the exper
iment of self-government, the success of
which, and the capacity Of the people for
it, this victory furnishes additional proof
And the success Of the Democracy will
give a Permanency to our governments;
and a higher opinion of our Institutions, in
the estimate Of foreign nations. than any e.
vent which has occurred since the formatio IL
of the goyernment-DailyS Sentinel.
