A New PoLITIcAL PARTY.-A
New York dispatch of the 10th,
says:
A meeting was held at Masonic
Hall last evening, pursuant to an
adjournment, to take steps for the
formation of a new party, having
for its aim and objects the doing
away with all sectionalism, North
and South, and the concentration
ofpatriotic sentiment in an endeavor
for a speedy restoration of the
Union. The meeting was address
ed by Theo. TomlinsOn, and resolu-
tions were presented reaffirming the
doctrines of State sovereignty. 1t
is called the "United States Democ-
racy."

Instead of crying over spilled milk, it is
better to make fair estimate of the result OF
the late elections 1t is of no consequence
to separate New York from other States
or the elections on Tuesday from those
held earlier in the season. These elections have
all turned on national questions. Their whole
significance consists in their bearing on national
politics. 1t is only in their broad national con-
sequences, mat IS TO say, IN their joint effect
that they have any public interest, When a
great battle has been fought, with q decisive
result the details OF the fighting along seOarate r.
parts OF the line cease to be OF any value EXCEPT
to the annalst. How the result will affect
future operations, is the only question which

One thing to be steadily kept in view by the
party which has been victorious in this election,
is their responsibility for the good government
OF the country. Tney do not stand in the posi-
ton of an ordinary legislative majority. In
all that apperta'ns to national affairs their Will
is supreme. They can override the vetoes of the

ton OF admitting or refusing to admit certain
States upon their individual conformity to given

are issues OF tar-reaChing character, involving
the maintenance OF the national influence, the

leading contemporary observes that "oi
sixty members of Congress elected in October,
only ten were Democrats" Strty-three Con-
gressmen were chosen in October, to wit:--
Pennsylvania, "a; Ohio, 10; Indiana, IL; Iowa,
g. and West Virginia, 3-of which number fifty
one are radical, as tollows:-PennsYlvania Is;
Ohio, I6; Indiana, IL; and West Virginia, 3. In
Pennsylvania Ohio, and Indiana, it is quite
possible that the radicals will further gain two
or three seats in all by the successful contest OF
fraudulent elections. Archibald, of the Twelfth
District, Pennsylvania; Delano of the Thir-
teenth, Ohio; General Grover, of the Fourth,
Indiana, protest against their unfair defeat, and
will appeal to far Congress. There is, there
fore, chance that the number of sterling Repre-

The present Democratic strength in Congress
is A, not including Mr.. Raymond (whose sue.

Estimating from the States which have voted
and the present delegations of the remaining
States, the Copperhead strength Will be the

A radical gam OF four Senators must also be
taken INTO account. Two of them have lately
been chosen, namely,-the Hon. A. G. Cdttell Of
New jersey, and the Hon. II. w. Corbett, OF
Oregon. The new Legislature of Pennsylvania
has to elect radical Senator in the place OF the
Hon. Edgar Cowan, Democrat, and that of New
Jersey 10 II axe the same amends by supplying
the vacancy caused by the death of the Hon.
William Wright. To these must be added the
Hon. Cornelius Cole, of California, in place of
Senator James A. McDougall. Should Colorado
be admitted, two more rallcai Senators Will be
gained. We have lost Senator in Maryland;
so this leaves our gain but four.
To recapitulate, the Senate stands at present
80 radicals and 26 Democrats. 1t will here
after have AZ radicals against % Democrats,
even should the Maryland Legislature elect
Governor Swami to succeed Senator Creswell.
Phe present House stands l40 radicals against
A Democrats. As reconstructed, the House
will have 140 radicals to A Democrats. At
most, the proportion of Democrats and Repub-
licans Will be about the same. As will be seen,
the gain of the late elections is substantially in
the Senate.
Here, then, is the reply of the loyal and still
advancing North to the challenge of the Presi-
dent-syllables as plain as the handwriting on
the wall that l26 radical Congressmen-e elect out

in the balance and found wanting. Mr.. Seward
predicted that the State of New York would
register itself against the radicals by 10000
majority, or he was no prophet Mr.. Seward is
no prophet; for the State has gone radical by
from 5000 to 5000 majority. Mr.. johnson COM
mitted his political foes to ruin; the North re-
spends with radical majOrties in nineteen States.
Not an inch of ground has been yielded by the
loyal vote; and In view of whatever good work
may remain to be done, the North is resolved
