The New York Express says:
=. For the first time in the history of our Gov.
ernment we have President elected exclusively
hy sectional vote, and by the agency of a PARTY
gaiized Geographically. The cor sequence If
this departure from the chart of Washington and
from the spirit of the Federal Constitution remains
to he Seen We deplOre-deeply dep!ore it-and
yet "a good ritzens it is duty to make the
best of it. and tn acquiesce in it under the
! forms of if not in the spirit and intent Of the
Constitution. What our Southern country men
may do. remains to be seen; bat hone the;r !
apprehensons will be soothed, If not Jagged by
the fact that the House of Representatives as
well rs the Senate are to be conservative, and
cannot be welded for destructive principles
against she States of the South. We are well
aware. however, that the apprehensons of the
Suuth come NOT from CongI pss, hut from the
Nnriher States tbemselves-their Personal Lib
| erty R'lls-their Underground Railrnads-thrir
| incen,iary pubflra,inns-heir Judicial Decis.
! ions, the Lennon and from that gen,
eral feeling of hostility which the States of the
| North manifest against the States of the South
and which. fhe South fears. must end the
| revolution of the Federal judiciary. and thus i'm
| the overthrow of the Judicial. as well a. Consti
utional protection these States have had since the
! foundation of the Government. and uf the old
| Confederation. We hope and trust the newly
| elered President will avail himself of the ear
! lcst opportunity to cut himself loose from the
| passions and prrjudices that have elected him
| and give piedg~ TO the fermerting
| Southern States, pledge that he himself means
| nnthng. whatever his patty parfizans may
| mean by the election.
The Constitution, the administration organ
at Washington, says:
. We declare our opinion as to the eventful re-
suit of yesterday with sorrow which has no
Source in party defeat. Thepeople of the Nor
thern States, by an apparently overwhe M
ing majority, have rendered their verdict on an is
sue fully made up, and after fuff delibera-
ton, and that verdict say that they deny that ff
| teen States of the Union are entitled to equali-
ty in the Union; and that future policy of the fed
! eral government shall be based on active dead
| ly hostility to the South and her institu-
| tions. What the effect ofthat verdict, immedi-
ate or ultimate, will be, We do not intend to pro-
phesy. We see in the Immediate fu-
! ture gloom and storm, and mach to chill the
( heart of every patriot in the land. We can
understand the effect that will be produced in
every southern mind when he reads the news
that he is called on to decide for himself
| his children aud his children'S children
whether he will submit tamefy tC the rule O.
/ one elected on account of his hostility to him
| and his. or whether he will make a struggle
| to defend his rights, his inheritance and his
| honor.
! The Z. Y. Post, in It's republican zeal, declares
! thss Lincoln will be one of the most popular
| Presidents that ever assumed the executive Of
fee, and Wi h the true self-righteous efrontery
| Of its party adds:
The reason is that the course which his cne-
mics have pursued has made him the represen-
tative of the constitutional and union sentiment
| Of the people They have threatened to over
! turn orr government in the event Of his snc-
| cess, and the very threat has converted to his
support all the interests that are nenacnd-
bet the traitors undertake to execute their ma
| licious purposes ahlCS every man at the South
| as well as the North. who is the friend of Or
der. will look to Lincoln to uphold our astitr-
| tionS. All the BelI-Everett men, nearly all the
| Douglas men, the thousands upon thou-and,
of conservatives who side with no party, besides
the solid ptfaIanx of repubficanism, win uphold
! his strong arm while he maintains the integrity
Of the organic law. They will be more enthn-
! Siastic in his support than the Wide -Awakcs
| are this day. and they viii crush out the .ir,nr
/ Of treason and laWlessness even before it has
shown its head.
The n. Y. Herald says:

The Tribune, which maintains some of the
| 'one in marshalling the incendiary Wide
Awakes that the plug organs did in this CITY
when urging on the ''clubs" to their bloody
work, says Of New York city:
The majority against us in this city is some
what larg IT than expected but not enor-
mously We gave the fusionists $4,000
they have obtained, perhaps. $4,000, though
we trnst it is e little less. We make our total
Lincoln vote 35,237, against 60,56S for the
| fjIsonists. The vote is very fuil-more than
| 10000 higher than ever before and the Yepub-
lican vote fails but 500 behind our estimate.
| We ought to have polled our full 35,000.-
Nothing but the intense mercantile pressure
excited by terrors of fdisunion or non-ntercourse
could have carried the majority against us
above 90 600.
