AFTER THE BATTLE.

The result is fairly before us. James Buchanan
without doubt is elected President of the United
States after of the desperately battles
that the history of country has recorded In
North il has been most singular contest and we have
succeeded in the States of New Jersey Pennsylvania nd
ana and probably Illinois, only by the bold stand taken
by the democracy In these States the democrats instead
OF whining the evils of slavery" exposed the base
and vanous objects of abolitionsm and the result a
parent In other northern States democratic orators and
presses have chiefly aimed that negro slavery was
great evil and that they had opened Kansas to its
ducton which illogical conclusion they generally left
firmly impressed upon the minds Of the people no matter
how much they tried to avoid it
Notwithstanding ALL however 80 strong is the instipc,
Of nationality impressed upon the American people that
they have given signal rebuke the disunionists and
aboonstsi and Mr. Buchanan, the most exalted and emf
nent OF our public men, has been raised TO position which
he Will adorn and honor more than any other individual
who could by any possibility have been selected
Our own State has given Fremont plurality probably
of 10000. The country has done this In New York CITY
and Brooklyn the democrats have nearly 30 600 majority
over Fremont yet fearful the maores against ne
in the interior OF the State that overwhelmed The
Kansas excitement did the business for us in the country
in connexon with the great issues of the campaign The
democrats were cowed down by the nsoence of their OBJ
ponens and the country flooded with Tribuues
Times Kansas documents &C. full of the most atrocous
lies and misrepresentation.
This picture viii for all the States which have
gone for Fremont The suggests many lessons
instruction, which we shall from time to time present TO
readers 1t is matter Of great rejoicing that when
abolition had better chance Of than Il is likely
to have again II has been signay defeated II
would indeed, have been national disgrace to have had
such intensely and bigoted politicians az Sumner,
Wilson, Banks Weed, Greeley, Burlingnme &c, to have
become the ruling spirits in this confederacy One thing
is certanhey have their way If we wish 10 pre
institutions They traitors to every sent
ment of patriotism, honor, or national welfare
When poseriy looks back upon this canvess and sees
the deluson which has sought under the name Of ee
DOM" to force upon the American people the Ioatbsoe
principles OF abotonism, 1t will be with amazement The
clergy the entire moral sentiment Of the community 40
perverted as TO call evil good and good evil Now If we
may believe the abolition presses freedom has forever
fallen. The country is ruined Border ruanism ia t
umphant The North is reduced to chains and saverv
Freemen have been robbed Of their brthrghtD The bel
lgorent Fremoners who promised to drive back The
avcocracy with FIRE and sword" have plenty Of business
on their banda The millions Of money they have spent
all gone for nothing With Eve daily papers In this
