There IL one institution in New-fork to which
even its former enemies now award the praise
which il amply deserves. This is the Metropolitan
Police. During all the excitement Of Tuesday, per-
feet order was preserved, and every citizen had
peaceful access to the polls. In former times, such
an election could not have passed without murders,
or at least fights and maimings. Besides, the
police now acted merely as defenders of the public
tranquility and not the agents of any political
party. These benefits New-York owes to Repubh-
can legislation. What pity that we could not
also have Republican City Government as we
might have had if oil the Republicans and Ameri-
cans had stood as firm as the noble $4,000 who
voted for 0pdyke

Is there an honest man left in this city who
would vote to abrogate tho Registry law We
believe not An parties now admit that 1t Is an
excellent and an indispensable safeguard against
fraudulent voting, and that it imposes no incOn-
venience on the voter, which is worthy of mo-
meut's consideration in comparison with the
benefits il confers on the public. The ex-
perience of Tuesday shows, too, that its operation
causes no delay in polling the votes. We shan
have, we trust, improvements in the law, but no
serious attempt to repeal it can hencefOrth be
made,

The Hon. Fernando Wood delivered very mod
crate speech on his own election, to bis followers,
at Mozart Hall on Tuesday evening, whea he pro-
fessed sentiments truly evangelical. "True great
Bess," be exclaimed, sis magnaDimous" As
deeply as have been injured, and as basely aud
/" falsely as / have been traduced and as unscru-
"pulously as have been opposed, yet, my fellow
" citizens, can afford to forgive them all.
In a moral point of view, this exhibits a vast
progress upon the sentiments Of the same orator,
only week before, at his Cooper Institute meet
ing. There, with his voioe intense with passion,
he Kissed out that, if elected, his enemies both
within and without the Democratic party, would
still fnd in him all his yigOr, all his courage, all
" bis hate" 1t must be consOling to the Sachems
of Tammany Hall and to the Fifth-avenue Dsmo-
crats to learn that instead Of proceeding on this
original programme Of vigor. courage, aud hate,
the newy-elected Mayor is going to forgive all his
enemies. What a touching spectacle it will be
when Wood, Moses Taylor, Fowler, Brady, and
McKeOn, all kiss and make friends! We only hope
that John Van Buren,, in his capacity Of public
Jester, viii be present to enliven the party with

The Republicans OF New-YOrk were overpOwered
in the election of Tuesday by the weakness OF some
of the wealthy and the timd who previously belonged
to the party; but they came out OF it with honor
unimpared with their numbers still great aud pow
erful. and with discipline and efficiency which
they never possessed before. The great contest oil
1860 will not find them uncertain in their allegiance
nor doubtful in their action. They are veterans
who have smelt powder; others may be doubted
but they can be- relied on.

THINGS THAT WoN'T Go DowN.-The Hon.
Tom Corwin is an ingenious casuist, but he has
not as yet acquired the faculty of making black
appear white. His apology for treason, at the
republican ratification meeting the other night,
does not render the crime less rank or the con-
nivapce at it by the leaders of the party less
manifest. The fact is that Corwin himself is
deeply tainted with the infection. Between
him, Wendell Phillips, Seward and Greeley
there is, we admit, a difference, but it is only
one Of degree. Phillips, with Old John Brown,
occupies the foremost rank in the path of trea-
son, Seward and Greeley come next, and Cor
win and Evarts follow in their wake. Were it
possible to misapprehend from their speeches
the animus of the two latter, the resolutions to
which they were subscribing parties at this
meeting would clinch the doubt Whilst these
resolutions are as reasonable as they can be in
spirit, their trainers take care to envelope their
significance in vague professions of respect for
the constitution. The world will not be deceiv-
ed by such subterfuges. Between the treason
that is kept within bounds by fear, and the
daring disaffection and self-devotion of men
like John Brown, there is distance which the
black republicans evidently do not care to over
leap.
