The great election having passed, the contest
closed, the controversy ended, the inquiry now is,
who are the victors? which party has succeeded!
who has conquered? who lost? who gained? Per-
haps there never was more determined warfare on
every side. Certain it is tina. in no instance on re-
cord have politicians Of every grade, profession and
color, exhibited more activity and zeal than during
the campaign just closed. The democratic party,
which has possessed the power during the last four
years. have their lease for four years longer
by the viii Of the people, as manifestly expressed
under the provisions OF the constitution. The Anne
rican people, as in duty bound, will implicitly con-
form to that high behest. Although Mr.. Buchanan
will undoubtedly pursue the general course Of the
present administration, still he will be pressed to
make an entire and thorough change in the Cabinet
From the moment Pierce selected the constitutional
advisers which he drew to his confidence, his
popularity with the great mass Of his party de-
clined to such an extent that, had II not been
for his Office holders, at Cincinnati he would
not have received a dozen votes for q re-
nomination. Mr.. Buchanan must cali new
men TO his councils, and such Hotspurs as Caleb
Gushing and jefferson Davis must retire. Indeed,
nothing but thorough reconstruction Of the Cabi.
net must ensue; and the more prudent course would
be for every one to tender his resignation to
PieSideht Pierce on the morning Of the fourth Of
Msrch, and relieve Mr.. Buchanan from the in
dispensable and disagreeable necessity Of asking
them TO make room for new Cabinet. Will New
York be entitled TO representative Do the
democracy OF the Empire State deserve one? Out

The latter gentleman is already named for the

republicans have saved the Governor, Lieut.. Gov

gives them complete and entire control Of the lie ys

Senator In place OF Hamilton Fish, who by
