SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1861.
The Re-uI, Of the Election.

The entirc Peoples Union State Ticket, with
che exception Of one Canal Commissioner, has
been elected by such an overwhelming majority
"A will teach tho traitors ut the South that the
North IL united in support Of tho Government,
and for a vigorous prosecution Of the war This
majority would have been two-fold greater hut
for the factious attempt Of certain Republican
commercial politicians to secure partilan ma
iority IN the Canal Board by the substitution OF
d. Y. Bruce for the regular Peoples candidate
for Canal Commission for the short term. The
candidacy Of Gen. BRrCr has everywhere tend
cd TO divide aud distract the friends Of the
Union ticket, and TO create strife AMI contention
between those whose Efforts should have been
concentrated cordially upon one entire tirkc'.
Besides IL naturally inspired courage in tho
leaders of the Democracy, which, developing IN
energetic efforts for their candidate" lirg'ly IN
creased the Democratic vote IN the state AM
organizing the Democratic party, where other
wise I, would have had no practical existence.
But. despite this Development Of iaclion' and
selfsh rartitanship hy those who ought to lc
only patriots the general result il such llo-
rious triumph Of the right rs may well hc cclc-
bratcd with enthusiastic rejoicing. In this city
which, in times past, has always "hccn good
for" not less than twenty thousand majority, the
gallant and patriotic DI,hINs"N leads his R'-
gency competitor for Attorney General d'oui
,i0kiees h,uspHd ro'cs aud the entire People s
s ate ticket, with the exception VI ono candi-
date, has nearly that majority. This Is not,
however. victory over the oil principles Of
the Democratic party, but for the Constitution
and the Country, oyor set of protested politi-
cans who have persisted in running nominal
" Democratic ticket in opposition to the r'tri.
otto impulses ami better jud .rnen, Of the great
majority Of the electors OF their party. Demo
