RESULT, AND ClEE CONVENIENT
POLICY WHlCH IA TEACHES,


From hs Hcrdld.
The Presidential struggle IS over, and Abraham
Lincoln is elected for another term. This result
was 30 generally anticipated that it will create
very little surprise. Some Of the oycr.credulous
readers Of the New York lIogH aud the AIblnv
Atlas.Arg,s may be disappointed, bat the know
iug ones among the Democracy knew all the
time tbut vain b0u.tings and foolish promises
would not carry the election. We need mo-. al
present leclle the causes which have CuImluatc 1

instructions TO The Administration involved iu
thiS election, and the general policy sug yuste1

creed that tnc Rcbe Ion shall be put down by

This doue, the nest duty devolying upou the

we need not rJuOIe ourselves any further con-

The proposition which has been hroaChed ut

Davis, for the spring campaign, three hundred
thousand slaves, will be very apt tO dni,h the

Davis despOtism which has for some time been at
work among the Southern people, from Virginia

Mr.. Secretary seward, some two wears ago, ia
a despatch on the subject 10 the French Govern
ment, suggested that the best CouventiOu of all
the states for the settlement Of our sectional DIFF
terences was in the Two houses of the National
congress- and that the vacant seats therein of the
members due from tue seeded States were ready
iOr the return OF sad members at any time. Let
ms, on the general basis Of reconciliation we
have Indicated, hC the plan for bringing back "our
errng sisters, anu they will not long remaia
"Out in the colo"
What next In the next place we have in our
outstanding accounts against England aud
France, sufficient cause for Il broad aud vigor-
oOs enforcement of the Monroe doctrine ia the
countries touching our northorn aud southern
honil'rsi in the Cdnadls aud in Mexico. 10
this end, WITH the Union re-estibtshed, a mixed
army OF Northern and Southern veterans, Of one
hundred thousand strong, near the Cana Ian
border, and similar army on the Rio Grands,
would not only exert a powerful influence ia
bringing Lord PaimeIstOn and Russell aud Louis
Napoleon TO satisfactory terms but would ops
rate he charm, peace or war, in re establishing
the unity OF the people, in spirit aud in purpose
North and South.
This is our programme for ending the war and
restoring the Union. In good faith we submit it
to both the political parties Of the day for their
consideration, and TO the Administration in the
interval and from and after tue ith of March
next.
