Instruction which implies that blacks

Hun did not destroy the Union, nor did
tie Democratic victories in 1862 defeat
the policy of emancipation. 1t may
have been necessary to pile proof upon
p-out that neither the eX-rebplS of the
South nor the Democrats Of the North
will concedc to the loyal blacks any right
which they can possibly withhold or take
away. In view of the experiences Of the
last seven years, wherein our McClellans
and Buels proved equally useful with our
Grants and Sheridaus to the overthrow
and extirpation Of the slave power, we
hate no lot of heart or hope, but unfalter-
wrly trust. that the reverses Of the pre-
sent, alike with the triumphs Of the past,
VIII in the event prove conducive to the
one great end of rendering this country
whose constitutions and laws shall esteem
no man better or worse for his color, but
impartialIy uphold and affirm the Equal
Rights OF All.

THE STATE ELECTloN-THE OVERTHROW OF
RADICALISM.
The returns Of yesterdays election, re-
ceiyed up to the hour OF publication this
morning. are sufficient to show that the
State has been carried by the Democrats
ty majority probably larger than that
obtained by Governor Fenton one year
sco. The Radicals who controlled the Re-
publican nominating convention chose to
exclude rom their councils the cOnServa-
tive element Of their party, and to go be-
fore the people on the issues Of negro
supremacy and a national bank oligarchy !;
and the people OF New York, like those Of
California, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, have
.rpudiatcd them and rendered an empha-
tic verdict against their violent, revolu-
toaary policy.
In this city, the great commercial CEN
tie Of the Union, the majority against
Rldicalism amounts to over sixty-one thou
sand, although the Radical press and poll
tc!ans exerted their utmost energies to
aver. such result. New York, with her
large financial interests, declares against
Tie party OF debt and taxation, and re-
Dukes the attempt to place the southern
States of the Union under the heel of
African barbarism. The false cry OF
trauGu cent registration, the free use Of
mou,y, Ii. presence and influence Of the
Governor OF the State, and the efforts Of
all the political commissions forced upon
Tie city by Republican legislation, were
Fower!ess to prevent this Waterloo defeat.
4 vote Of about twenty. five thousand, In
poll of one hundred and twelve thon-
sand, is all that the national banks,
lAe State administration, and the political
commissions, including the police aud fire
departments, can muster for the Radical
negro supremacy faction in the great me-
tropolis of New York. With these figures
before the people it will be useless for the
Radical organs to raise the cry of illegal
Voting, rum influence, apathy, or anything
else, TO account for their terrible over
throw. Tie fact is now established beyond
controversy that the citizens Of the loyal
States, and especially Of the city of New
York, repudiate the financial and recon-
s'rocton policy Of Congress, and demand
change.
The decision of New York State in
this years contest has been looked for
with anxiety all over the Union. 1t has
been generally admitted that her vote
would decide the complexion Of the next
Presidential campaign; and the loss of the
