The Democratic victory in New
Work.
"Now is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious 10y this sun of [Newl York,
And all the clouds which lower'd upon our
house
IN the deep bosom Of the ocean buried"
These spirit-stirring words which the go>
Mus of Shakespeare puts into the mouth of
Richard Of Gloucester, after the decisive
victory of Barnet had settled his family
firmly upon the British throne, can he re-
peatcd with even more eanestuess and fer
vor by tho Democracy on this occ,sion.-
The sun of York" which shone Nov.
5th, was indeed a glorious sun, rendering
bright all cur prospects of the future. 1t
was sun which, to the enemies of domes-
tic peace and tranquility, was more scorch
ing and disastrous than that sun of Austcr>
litz which gildod with a halo Of glory the
most eventful Of all Napoleon's triumphs.
We have had many signal trumphs in this
year Of our Lord 1867, but this in the great
Empire State is the crowning one of all
Look at the news and see the SPLENDID
manner in which the majestic and quecnly
New York takes her place at the head m
the Democratic column of States. We
thought the roar of the Democratic artillery
in the month Of October could not he eqnal
ed, but it las been by the tremendous
thunder which we hear from the banks of
the Hudson. New York is a great -tatc
she carries the largest guns in the Union
sisterhoOd Of States, and in her explosion
of them she shakes the continent beneath
the DIN. With terrific force she has deiv-
cred her broadside into the Radical hulk,
aud has sent it reelng to be ingulfed be-
meath the waves. After the shock it re-
ceiyed in California and Maine, in Septem-
Der, followed up by tie tremendous blows
Of Ohio ana Pennsylvania in October, the
Radical organization made extraordinary
efforts to preserve its ascendency in the
great Empire State. There were no means
to obtain party succ IS, honest or dishonest,
to which it did not resort. It's ingenuity
was fruitful to devise something that would
lead to that result. Money, imported
speakers, fraudulent voting, terrorism on
the working classes, were all cards tIat
were strongly played Bat they would not
win. The people have become sick OF Ra
dicalism-sick nigh unto death of its cor
rupton, its foIies and its knavory. They
were resolved upon change Of adminstra-
ton at Washington and in the different
Sta'e governments. This Is the meaning
of the nnhroken series Of Democratic tr>
umph that have sirualizea the campaign
Who will now have the cfF"ontcry n pre-
tend that henca,h the general disaster
which has overtskcn jhe Radical party il,
California and in Maine, in PenneyIyania,
Ohio and New York, that it was produced
by any local causes about State polcy?-
That miserable excuse vill no longer avail
to hide the real state Of things. The sober
second though Of the people is at work.
The time so long and SO anxiouslv looked
for by every lover of his country during Nlr
dark and troublesome years through which
we have passed has come at last. The
veil has been lifted from the eyes of the
pPOpIe--ir0m those eyes it has so fatally
blinded and misIed. They see how unwor.
thy was the idol to which they have been
offering the shrine Of their alteration. They
see when the disguise is swept away how
naked it appears in its deformity. The
dawn Of better era for our distracted land
is at hand. 1867 is closing, and 1868 viii
commence nnder the most fattoring au<pi>
ces. In the darkness and gloom which n
year ago shrouded all our hopes and antici
pa.ions, we did not hesitate to express the
hope that has been so illiantly realized.
Our hearts are too full of thanks to the
Great Disposer of events for these gloriou,
changes in public opionion-we recognize
too strongly their general benefcence for all
classes and all shades Of sentiment. TO in
dulge in any bitterness of feeling or unman,
ly exutation over our vanquished opponents,
who were until lately the political lords OF
the land-the governors and directors of liz
destines. Ii bohooves the Democrat to be
as magnanimous in victory as they have
been courageous and enduring under the
pressure of defeat The mass of our or
poncnts, equally with ourselves. have been
and are now honest in tncir views, h wevcr
