even in New York. The various orr
gam of the disunion returns in that city
are hgubrious, bot they don't think the
'Usion will be dissloved for the present.
The Journal of Commerce, which was
one of the most solemnly sanctimoni-
Gus of the howlers, finds q reason for
letting the Uaion stand for awhile yet
in the fact that Congress is against the
Republicans. It says:
".We have met the enemy, and we
are theirs. Such at least are the mn
mistak able indications. The splendid
Democratic Union majority of $4,000
4 in this city has doubtless been over
bourn by the avalanche of black Re-
publicanism from the middle, western,
and northern parts Of the State and
if so, we have nothing to do but to
submit, with the best grace we can.
The vote of the empire State, added to-
those of other States which may be
sure for Lincoln, make il all but certain
that he will be our next President. One
consolation remains TO- US, conservative,
men, Wis that we have both Houses of
Congress. This will check the way
ward fancies that may seize the Exeeu-
tive, under the pressure of his abolition
advisers or otherwise. Let US hope for
the best"
The Herald, which has been most
vociferous in its disunion cries, simply
remarks:
"Now that the smoke and dust of
election are cleared away, it behooyes
all good citizens to settle down to their
occupations and to discharge the duty
which they owe to their families. Let
the africans and mechanics, who have
suffered themselves to be temporarily
diverted from their pursuits by their
patriotic impulses, again apply them
selves steadily to them" "a
The Express, which has paraded "ths
niger" ad nauseana, and falsified with
out stint, soothingly remarks:
aThe consequence of this departure
from the chart of Washington and from
the spirit of the Federal Constitution
remains to be seen. We deplore-
deeply deplore it-and yet, as good
citizens, it is our duty to make the best
of it, and to acquiesce in it, as under
the forms if not in the spirit and intent
of the constitution. What our South
ern countrymen may do remains to be
seen; but we hope their apprehensions
will be soothed, if not assuaged, by
the fact that the House of Representa-
Itives as well as the Senate are to be
conservative, and cannot be welded for
destructive principles against tue States
of the SOUTH" @

alarming in the triumph of Repnbli-
