THE GENERAL RESULT.
A GLORIOUS TRIU MP HI


A ORIoUS TRIU Mp H
We cannot longer forbear to give a jubilsnt
shout over the decided victory which the ma
tional Democracy have achieved in the cleo
ton of their Presidential candidates. 1t is a
triumph Of patriotism which must rejoice the
heart of every one who values the future well
being and perpetuity of our glorious Union;
and no one should restrain that outburst of
gratitude aud joyfulness which such an event
must inspire.
The true men Of the country trembled at
the danger which defeat of the Democracy
in the recent political contest would have
brought upon the nation. If it had not re-
suited in an immediate disruption of the con-
federacy, it would have produced an aliena-
ton of feeling and a sectional discord which
would have eventually terminated in that APP
pretended evil. But happily these fears have
ended and the reign of peace, of harmony and
of national prosperity viii be again inaugur-
ated with the administration of the President
elect.
After the fourth of March next the entire
administration Of the General Government
viii be under the control of the Democracy.
There viii 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 just and impair
tial regard, ami the bond of Union, which
has made US great, happy and prosperous
people, will receive new strength and firm
ness
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 nation
for over forty years. Hisspotless integrity 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 fame to posterity
is full guarantee that his administration will
have but one end-the common welfare anC
glory of the country. Heis, also, pledged Il
single term-his age forbids him to expec
ars-election-and in this we have an adj
ditional assurance of disinterested admins
tration of the government.
The name of John G. Breckenridge, on
gallant vice-President elect, is synonymoul
with all that is manly, noble and chivalrous
He viii ably fill the position in which he ha
been placed, and If the contingency SHOULD
occur, he viii grace the seat which has beef
filed by the great and good of the land.
The Democracy have gone -Lsfss.-Il.
country upon fair and square issue Of thei
principles and they have triumphed-glori
ously triumphed. When fanaticism howled
and threatened to open the hoodgates O
error, of anarchy, and the demon of disunio
jumped into the breach, calamity met the enc
my and conquered. 1t was fearful strug
gle, and it is a glorious victory. And VIII,
should we not rejoice-rejoice in victor
unequalled, in all its phases, by any politl
cal contest known to our history with al
those outbursts of enthusiasm which the oc
caSlOl suggests.
The issue which has just been decided
awakened a deep interest in every part of th
civilized world. 1t was regarded as decisive {
the future prosperity of the nation, by thos
abroad who understood the questions involy
ed.And the result will be hailed with heartfelt
satisfaction by all who value constitutions
liberty and who have watched with tremblin
anxiety the experiment of self-governmentt tn
Success ofwhich, and the capacity of the pee
pie for it this victory furnishes additions
proof. And the success of the Democracy wi
give permanency to our government and
higher opinion of our institutions, in the estimat
offoreign nations, than any event which ha
occurred since the formation of the govern
ment.
