what the Papers Say About it.
We make n few extracts from our eHcnan-
ros IN the result of the Presidential election:
rrro,, the New York Times, Republican,
r,s oe,,n,rv NAV now look for that benef
IL ano oeoca which has been the watchword OF
ts een' RRennblcan party during the pohtlcal
,no;go General Grant could nave zone
the parfy no greater service than py gNlus ~
thiei iides and this word to lnscrlpe upon ile
banners. The turmoil OF the as! elsnV or Suai0 in
the f;s1d, the people bore it with strong hearts
omd etrono arms. But when this was followed
a. nT fo,,r Years of violent political distractions
That constantly threatened renewal OF saa-
pIiinary strife, popular patlen:e got eAnausteu
And when, finally, the Democratic palts fa,sG5 as,5
revolutionary platform from wniIo VIII temnest-
aeS tesosS con9try there would have been justin,
oot;on for desnair il no means OF escape hau
heen onened up. But the great soioieS mno
had formerly given Us peace by MS mlneaIs
oenius again stood forward as tne rePresenta
tive Of peace in the storm OF p.or St cred word
s tns o1i;aJ yonnd the leader who could give it
hope.
From the New York World, Democrat.I
It;s mo-. merely as the representative OF q
heo$en marty. pouring oil upon their wounds,
thot Wa vindicate in this the very crls's OF our
rn;sfcrtnne s1 and as we believe Of the country's
calamity. the ardor and the courage, put tne
desperateness, also, of our struggle. naInef
do we proclaim IN this moSt tIyins ~ ~ u,
sessino The future OF our country, ana OF
nnonjd1no her magnificent destinies wien ltsen
shaIl have been purged and moulded tor tnat
;n,1sr;sl n1,als task-an unshaken and unsnakable
confidence in its puissant and undylng youth,
which ont Of disaster will get dlsclphne, ous
of misfortunes patience and unconqueIanHiSs
courage, out Of blunders wsaom and udu now mon
a battle field which has been lost, do we lnvite,
heneatb undishonored standards, The youth, tne
manhood Of our time.
From the New York Herald.l
The Republicans hold the field ana a regain gam
+be White House. The Democratic leaders flung
their chances of success overheard when tney
made their feeble nominations 10 July lase, ano
more especially when they DTougns prGmS meS
from the Southern States stepped to the hps IN
d;eJovaltv TO the government, and fresh from the.
fields where thousands OF our Union soiners
laid down their lives to preserve the hle OF tne
nation, With the candidate the Ue9locracy
selected to carry their standard no.ng sgr oss ,ss
defeat was to be expected, ana We suppose
tha a' aptv nut antic;noted any other termination
to tbe contest than the election OF Generai
Grant. ~Let us have peace" is his motto;
We look now to see these WORDS conVetteo
into acts-to see the olve ean Drahcn saoss statSs
tuted for the sword in the Southern states
negro supremacy quietly superseded, ana sucn
meas,,res adopted as will create harmony out
Of disrord in that genial and fruitful portion
oi our country comprised IN the STATES nov
suffering from mistaken and vlndlGtiVe P1il.

cy We look also M,1cS AND naat there .e viii be
check MT upon the monstrous corruptions
which prevail in all the departments OF the
ooyernm snt. that economy shall succeed ex'
ireyagance in the disbursements OF the puohc
funds, that the pubic debt shall De reduced rs
rapidly as possible, and that the h raass sds MORE
easy to bear. The people expect that General
Grant win accomplish all this, and II ne 1ans
tn do so he will not have completed the PuT-
nose for which ne is elected. But We nave
great confidence in Genera Grahe.
From the New York Tribune, RadicaLl
This result has been achieved in spite OF all
the power OF the Federal Executive ana OF the
late slaveholding aristoeracy OF the SCUM, alo-
t;on' and by voting the same man over and
over till they were dizzy. General Grant ls
this day the choice of decided majority or the
legal voters Of every State ID the Union save
Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and PcssIpy
Oregon. Every State that has gone tor Sey-
mour outside Of these has oeen SO catfiea art ~
coercion or fraud. We now look for the adop-
tion of measures that shall effectusly preclude
a repetition of these crimes.
from the New York Post Republican,
= The election must show the Southern Demo
cratic leaders that the American people Will not
have Congress coerced; will not have the re.
construction measures overthrown; WIN noS
have our bonds dishonored; will not approve OF
or bear with the invasions OF the sacr3d risnt
which has been openly inculcated and zeaious-
" practiced by the Southern Democratic lead,
s ers for months past. No injustice IS demanded
by the party which has gained the electlon. IL
REQUIRES only that those who are and we're
faithful to the Union shall nave ana s eHercise he
fought to destroy the Union. Milder demanas
than this it would be difficult to invent. The
Southern Democrats are asked only to submit
to Justice. They are not threatened with in
jusIice, with wrong or with punishment.
From the New York Sun, Republican,
As to reconstruction, the triumph Of Grant,
and the defeat OF Seymour, in manner so sig
nnl and conclusive, will OF themselves virtually
solve the problem, and We hope to see tne tnree
States now outside OF the Omon rssI2reu .bo w
their relations to the government dunng tne
approaching session Of Congress: we entreae
tat body to hasten the completion Of the
work, 80 that when General Grant shall take
the Presidents oath every star shall oeam Win
undimmed lustre from the banner that waves
over his head. If, however, it shall be delayed
until he enters the White House, we are sure
he will push it to a rapid contamination; tor
he is aware that the people are desirous OF see
ing this obstacle to the peace Of the country
Immediately removed out Of the way. If the
new administration shall prove as successful
as we believe it will, so completely must it dis
pose OF all the leading subjects that have
troubled the country for the last ten years, and
some of which sprang into existence as minis
ters Of evil third Of a century ago, that it
would not be marvellous il ere its close there
should be reorganization Of political parties
such as occurred In the administration OF JET
ferson and in that Of Jackson.
