TEE VICTORY.
The Grand Battle of Politics for 1856,
the Eighteenth engagement of similar
character since the foundation Of the gov
ernmeht, is over, and the Democracy are,
rs they have almost always been, glori-
ously triumphant They may well con-
graduate themselves upon this suspicious
victory. 1t is not an ordinary triumph.
Expedicncy has on some occasions deter
mined the choice Of mediocre talent COM
bined with safe and and reliable political
principles, but in the. canvass just termi-
mated, the constitutional party have secur-
ed not only the success of their lofty and
time-honored doctrines, but they have
selected, to give them force and practical
cxemplifcation, one of the most able and
experienced statesman the world has ever
produced. The thoughtless or the venal
who may have believed or invented, the
thousand falsehoods charged by a menda-
cious press upon the private or political
character, the mental or political capacity
of JAMES BUCHANAN, will sncer at this
recognition Of his right to stand among
the brightest stars in the galaxy of states
men; but no man who has read the history
of his country-none who has carefully
noted the frequent concessions made by
his most embittered foes, can escape the
conviction, however he may disguise it,
that the PENNSYLVANIA comes to the
Administration of the American Govern
ment with qualifications, experience and
patriotism never exceeded.
We are already being treated by the OPP
position press with absurd and shameless
predictions relative to the probable policy
of the administration. The Ostend mani
festo is to be the cause of War with all
the European Nations. The robbery of
Spain in the annexation of Cuba, an alli-
ancc with Nicaragua, and Central Anne
RIGA, the conquest Of Mcxico-are all to
take place, at once, and the territory ac-
quired by a system of plumber and piracy
is to be Immediately set apart for the use
of the "slave-power" to whom "the
President elect has sold himself p With
"the re-establishment of the Slave trade
these countries will all be filed with At
rican Sobles and the South will have an
immense preponderance in American
affairs. Kansas, of course, is to be i'm
medintciy admitted as n stSlaNe State"
and all the money spent to hot-ded her into
Freedom will have been thrown away
The New York Sunday Times concludes
an admirable article on this subject as fol-
lows: ~ III
"All this nonsense, and more as gratu-
tious, we must expect from such sources;
and yet we venture to predict that the
administration of Mr.. Buchanan will be
one of continued peace and prosperity
one in which our foreign relations will be
maintained on the most amicable footing,
and our domestic ones disposed of in a
spirit of justice, cordially, and genial
patriotism-one during which the ques-
ton of slavery will be left, just where it
should, with the people themselves, and
no abolition excitements gotten up in one
quarter of the Union in order to provoke
retaliatory movements in another-one in
which the constitution will be faithfully
adhered to, and all its compromises sacred
ly rcverenced as SO many Of the symbol
marks of practical liberty. There will be
no attempt to annex Cuba, under Mr.. Bu-
chanan, unless Spain should actually force
us, in selfdefence, to assault her in that
quarter. There will be no more slave
states created, unless the inhabitants of
new states think proper to establish the
institution. France and England will
have no reason to apprehend a blow from
us, unless it be in return for similar
compliment Of their own. In short, we
predict that the administration of Mr..
Buchanan will prove both brilliant and
sound, and that under his executive care
the happiness Of the people Of these states
will be as complete Us our nature will adj
NIT, and rational liberty become, to use
the language of Washington, blessing
so well established here, that it must re-
commend itself :" to the applause, the af-
lection, and the adoption of every nation
which is yet a stranger to il"
