TRX GREAT RESOLT.—The greatest contest for
principle, which has taken place 4n this conntry since
the election of Jefferson in 18100, is over, and victory
has perched upon the Democratic standard. The
election of irmarw Jecxsort in 1828,altiroughamo st
important victory, did net embrace so many vital is
sues—the firstgreat robjeC i t sif those who fought it was
to do justice to the glotioas alo of New Orleans,
and to rebuke the intriguing band of cl.megogues,
with Clay at their head, who had despised and nullified
the will of the people by the election of Adorns.—
Federalism had nostrength of berown in that contest;
she did not dere to put forth boldly her odious tenets*- -
AD rots had acted with the Damocrats, and Cr. st was
considered as round on the Bank questiou, and bad
been the hest bower of the Democratic party in Con
gress dining the war. The contest of 1832 decit
dealt
a severe blow to the monster hank; but yet, that mon
' ster had, like dingiest of the heathen fable, no:
q uired renewed strength every timelier was thrown to
' the earth, and at the contest just closed wart more formi
dable than ever. Besides this, too, federalism had
found courage and confidence partially to throw off
the mask which concealedher hideous features in 1840 , I
and to give alarming intimations that, with Clay, all
the heresies of Adams's "reign of terror" would be
introduced into the policy of the government.
In view of these things, therefore, we thinkthe late
contest more Important in its results than any which
has taken place in this country since Jefferson's fine
triumph. Ithas settled
. -
1. The dangerous question of a National Bank.
Mr Clay said distinctly before the people, that be
was in favor of such an institution, and his defeat is as
clear an expression against the ciesting of any money
corporation by Congtess, as if the vote had base
ly taken upon the subject.
2. As the efficiency of b Tasiff, in protecting borne'
industry, mast always depend entirely on tbeexistence
I of a National Bank,—the rejection of that institution
' is a clear expression in favor of the polic of main
y
taining and cherishing manufactures. And as both
candidates agreed that this could best be done bra .
Tariff for Revenue, with discrimination for Protection,
t hat great question is aeuled most satisfactorily fur
manufacturing interests.
tion on Mr
3. It has put the seal of public reproba 1
Clay's grand schema of Distribution„and on all the
expedients by which he proposed to supply the deficit
in the Treasury which the withdrawal of the land—
fund would cause, viz: The taxing of Tea and
Coffee, &e., &e.
4. It has settled, beyond doubt or peradventure,
the important question as to whether the Democratic
policy of the country, in regard to the Naturalisation
of Foreigners, should be adhered to. Mr CLAY. in •
letter to New York, whicii, no doubt, bad its effect
on the Natives, said he had long been in favor of alter
ing and restricting the Naturalisation laws—all his
leading presses throughout the country declared their
approval of the objects of the Natives — and the Na
tives rendered most essential service to Mr Clay tin
der the w ell-founded opinion. that they were doing the
best fbr their peculiar principles. So that, the decis.
ism of the people in favor of the existing Naturalize-,
tion Laws, is as clear as their condemnation of a
Bank.
.Who, then, does not feel, in his inmost heart, that
the Democrats have accomplished a stupendous vic
ry? Who, that has a proper appraqiaton of the
to
principles of Democracy, due! not " - Sul for
our brilliant success,—and at the sank; t toe •

Among the reflections which crowd upon us in con
templating
our victory, the consciousness that our
leader was worthy of all the efforts made for him, is
one of the most comfortable. Col POLK possesses all the
Emmet' of character and purpose, which a thorough
acquaintance with the principles of our party, and a
deep conviction of their truth, cannot fail to inspire.
While his exalted bearing during the recent contest is
thenbeetrevidenee that he will wear the honors and dis
charge the responsibilities of the great office upon
whichhe will soon enter, in a mannerat once cred

Elmt.uu EILISPLI.—One of the worst features of
Nativism, is the fact that it is based on the example
of Great Britain, in her policy in regard to foteign
en. In England, Naturalization is considered a
peat boon, and foreigners can only be admitted to
the ettioyseent of the rights possessed by Englishmen,
by a-special act of Parliament. Some whig-Natives,
with this British model full in their eyes, recommend
that Naturalization shall only be effected by act of
Congress. When -shall we have done with this ab-
I jest etice of imitating England'?
