The Empire Triumphant.

It appears that Grant, Conkling. Cam
eron, Logan have been elected Presi-
dent. 1t appears as We write that the
effect of the October election was too
potent to be overcome. This October
effect has never failed to make itself Ielt

they can endure them. We are GER
tainly in as good position to suffer
them as the laboring men of the United
States. We shall continue business ut
the old stand, notwithstanding the
transient triumph Of q cause which
ought not to be the victor.
Who and what have been beatenP A
brave Union soldier. heroic in battle. q u
noble and splendid lover of civil liberty
in peace, has been defeated. The beau
tiful sentiment of union. the harmonious
impulses that should fill the hearts Of
the people of one country, have been
for the moment crushed. 1t is disclosed
by the methods we have indicated that
Union is not wanted. 1t is announced
that the great rivers that flow like AFTER
les through this continent to the Gulf,
bearing upon their bosoms the rich
argosies of an industrious people. begin y,
in one country and end in another. 4
That was the commanding argument OF ,
the canvass. and that Is the interpreta-
ton to be placed upon the verdict.
This, therefore, is not the triumph in n
which the patriotic American finds
cause for exultation. There is in the
victory no flavor of fraternity, no gentle
belief that this country Is to be one in
the affections of the future as IL Is one i
in history, in interest. in geography, in
beauty. The Republican party in con-
Quoting this campaign and this election
have done all that they could do to
destroy this sentiment of Union. 'iii ''ih
But the triumph Is not permanent.
The Democratic principle, the idea
which underlies our system Of govern
ment, Is as lasting as the continent on
which that Government dwells. The
Democratic party. old as the century,
can survive the defeats of quarter Of
the century. 1t has sounded forth
the trumpet that shall never call re-
treat while the Republic lives It will
live. IL the country seems now mt the

the Empire. it is in spite of Democratic
protest; and the Democratic party. not
