That sectional party, defeated spite OF It's base
use of Federal gold, its elanderous impeachments
of D Denocratio PATRIOTS, and despotc threats Of
dungeons and gibbets, to overawe freemen, Is

broken and h,ing columns, eau n yer be suoc' ss

its disastrous mission, triunphautly ioretold by
| Philips and Garrison at it's birth, has now bsen
| fulfilled, AID it will rise no from the mire
into " hich it has been cast by aroused and in
Gignant people. The day Of retribution has over
taken tha: corrupt and despouc party, AMI 1t and
fnatical leaders are hurled to the earth togeth-
er- finally and forever.

Llcon and his advisers, and tells them that their
unc0nstitunal acts, their radcA. and destructive
measures, ard their system OF ssizing and iupris-
ouipg Dem mscrats for political opinions sake,
must cease! 1t will not be we'll for them longer 10
persist in disregsrding the voice of the people,
They must comprehend thatthey ase the Sci wants,
not the masters, of those who put them in office.
1t puts the seal of condemnation on Abolition

politicians, who. after having plunged the country
into the horrors OF civil war, with a view to ulti-

1t relieves the country from the fear oC further
destructive action by the Radicals. Abusing their

they see it, and tremble!

1t gives assurance that peace and union are still

Thank God that this is SO 1t has been The
party OF sectional hate and discnrd the party GI
fanaticism, and ruin. Its sectional triumph was
only achieved over the rupture of the UIinp; ts
history, from the day Of its accession top power,
has been written in characters of blood. The dis
astcr of the Nation las been its opportunity. ItG
plan to perpetuate its power has been the butch.
cry and determination of the American people Of
the Southern States, and the establishment of a
universal Reign of Terror and an Abolition Dss
potism at the North!
We speak but what all candid men know and
acknowledge.
| This tyranical and insane psrty-for such it had
become under the lead of the Abolition Managers
is now over brown forever!
The President cannot longer deceive himself in
regard to the real feelings of the people, if he
would. All his political PRISONS and all the eab
crate enginery of tyranny and oppression by which
It has been sought to stids and silence aud over
awe free people, have not sYailed to prevent
the signal defeat of his partv and the condemna
tion OF his policy and course. This grand result
has prevented tenfold aggra7aton of the hor-
rors of tho Abolition reign of terror which was
ready to be launched upon US in the event of a
Radical triumph in New YORK.
And it has been achieved in spite of an army oi
electioneering Federal Office holders, and the use
of an upparael Corruption Fund-tbe base pros
titution of Government patronage" to bny up
men when they could not be overawed
Was there ever so signal q triumph of Right
over misused Power?--of Jus ice over Corfu ption
amp TyrannJ7 1t ia not mere triumph, and
ought not to be SO regarded. I: is triumph OF
! the Union men over Abolition fanaticsm.
The Republican speakers and press have all pro
claimed that the election of Aoratio Seymour
would be hailed by the South a condemn alton
both of Lincoln and the war. Do they so accept
