The IRcsult--The Future.

The Rosult--rhe Future.
,Thefe Is now no doubt of. tho electen Of
James Buchanan to the Presidency This
resultis,a sore disappointment to the friends
of Freedom; but it should not and -willnot
dishearteu them. To them it is not de-
feat but victory, for It gives, assurance Of
an ultimate triumph which is only post
poned, They have condemned the iniqui-
ties Of the Slave Democracy by heavy ma
Sorities in all but three Of the Northern
States, and have only failed of srecaiiRg the
sentence, by ytheinterposition OF a third par
ty. The election of Buchanan could never
have been accomplished by his own adhe-
rents. He owes his success to Fihmoreism
in Pennsylvania. --
Look at the result in Illinois the home of
Douglas Look at tho resultin Michigan,
the homo Of. ,Cass lat the result in New
Hampshire, the home of Pierce lat the re-
suit IN New York the home Of Fillmore
These are among the substantial triumphs Of
the Republicans earnest Of what is in
store in the future, for all the enemies Of
Freedom
Never was contest more gallently fought
against stronger odds. Republicanism is
still but an infant Hercules scarcely two
years of age. Another four years, and in
che maturity of vigorous manhood, it will
cleanse the Augean stables as did its pro
totype, with scarcely an effort
In the vote of Massachuse It's, Of Maine
and New York, and of all the New England
States representing the extreme Eastern
section Of the confederacy; in the vote of
Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin on the West,
and of Ohio and Michigan in the great cen
tral region, the condemnation Of more than
one half Of tho nation, IS recorded against
the sectional policy of the Slave Democracy.
Nothing butconeealment andevasion of the
true issue by the Buchanan leaders in the
North and the Fillmore division in Pennsyl-
vxuia and Indiana prevented that condemn
alton from being universal and final. Moro
than half of the votes cast for Mr.. Buchanan
in the Northern States were given in the be-
lief that he would reverse the policy of Mr..
Pierce, and that Kansas would be admitted
into che Union as q Free State. The future
will show how utterly false are such hopes
and then will come the triumph of truth and
freedom Those who have been deceived
now will not again listen to the voice of the
tempter.
The Republican party has entered on
glorious career, whose first rcpulse has only
nerved it for future triumphs. 1t is based
upon indestructable principles FREEDOM,
JUSTICE and TRUTH. 1t is supported by the
intelligence, the religion and the true con-
servatiye patriotism of the land 1t is for
tilted BY the teachings of the patriots who
achieved our National independence and
framed our Constitution. It has attained a
more rapid, and more vigorous growth than
any former party since the organization of
the government, and combines within itself
more substantial and enduring elements Of
strength than any political combination
since the day when Patrick Henry proclaim
ed the immortal sentiment, which would
be treason in Virginia, "Give me Liberty or
give me DeathT 1t Is not only the party
Of Freedom but of Progress; and until its
object is accomplished, its permancncy is as
well assured as The imperisbability of the
principles upon which it is based.
Its nominal defeat in the contest just clos
cd, will, as we have said at the outset prove
an ultimate victory. Even James Buchan-
an, subservient and trucking as he has al
ways been, dare not entirely disregard the
thunder-toned protest of an overwhelming
majority of the Northern people. The Fill
more faction has by its own act been crushed
bv the pillars of the political Dagon, which
with suicidal hand it has pulled down upon
its own head. Fillmore is dead, deGd-and
buried in an ignomous grave, beyond the
hone of resurrection. Thus every obSticle
to the unobstructed triumph of Republican
ism in the next National contest is removed
Third partyism has died the usual death of
the traitor and the spy riddied with the
bullets of the contending armies of Slavery
and Freedom.
The two remain masters of tho field
the one of the North, and the other of the
South. Let Republicans, therefore, rejoice
at the noble results they hare achieved
rather than mourn over those they have
failed to accomplish. In future contests
they will have but one enemy,-instead Of
two-to combat, and their remaining foe
will no longer be able to fight from its am
bush of false profession, and false issues
Mr.. Buchanan viii be compelled to carry on
the proslavery war as opened by Pierce, and
there will then be no room to doubt under
which banner his forces are marshalled,-
that of Freedom or Slavery. The people Of
the North will never again rally to the sup
port of the latter. 1t has won after hard
contest its last meagre victory !-Son. Reg
