From the London Times, Nov Q.
From consideration Of the as It stands what are
the prospects of this country and the United from the
election of Mr. Buchanan? In the first place. there be
doubt that will be regarded and Justly regarded by the
South great and signal victory its Importance being
measured by the terror felt by the victorious party after the
defeat in Mane by the ereroBs by which alone it
has been obtained by the fact that it gained the
North for the first time active and united and by the great
probability that this triumph signal it unless improved

destined to obtain The victory has rather of
peor organization and dexerity than Of greater it

has been mainly promoted by threats Of dsunon which
be used with similar effect every succeeding occasion
All these things tend to enforce upon the southern mind the
necessity using the next four to make the very
utmost Of their and place party inferior In numbers
and intelligence, footing of superiority which nothing
but revolution and civil destroy They have the
President and the majority in both houses their political
istence stake the quarrel with the North henceforh

characters We therefore justified in expecting that
far the internal policy Of the Union concerned, the

that union alone The influence Of the government
certainly exerted in favor OF the victorious party but this
influence would have been comparatively trihing had
not that government been identified with the principles
of the democracy. 1t is very Questionable whether the
patronage of a government is so powerful weapon
as generally represented In party contests 1t certainly
s not for we have several examples of sdministrs-
tons having their disposal the entire patronage of
the government being sgnaly defeated by the party that

gained. In this sectional contest involved certain
great constitutional principles and thus every in the
