The desire of | iding allnew agitation, apropos of slavery and | devotion to tke Union, is found, also, by the fact, to have singularly contributed to the victory of tha democracy. The whigs, besides, gathered only what they had sown, and did not keep an account of tho generous sentiments which animated all political opiaions. The nation wanted @ candidate upon whose ortho- doxy, on the most delicate questions, no suspicion | could be entertained ; and they took the man whe | was offered to them by the political mass whose al- liance alone was suflicient to inspire suspicions to the most sapguine ; it wanted a statesman whose | tried capacity could be equal to the grave omergen- cies which the future prepares for the country; | and they chose a eoldier, superior, no doubt, aA | his occupation, but inadequate, according te all ap- peerances, for the functions imposed vy @ civil gor- ernment. They calculated to supply the deficiencies in their candidate, on his military prestige ; they have forgotten that the American people, when tho first infatuation of a covquest has passed away, can not be taken with such baits; they have forgotten the truths we expressed ourselves, in this journal, op the Gch of August last, in an auswer te our French cotemporaries, who saw already the United States delivered up to military dictators, “Pho oi- vil eentimont,”” wo said, * then is eo profound!y on- | graved in all spirits that it predominates all the Others; this it is which guides the mass of eluators, and if tbe military prestige, the influence of which | we do-mot deny in certain limit, drags away tho least ightened parties of the populi a, it dogs never assure a number porhaps suflivient for making triumph a good canditure, unable to save a bad one.

Here, howevor, nothing of the kind has been done—at General Pierce’s re quest, I learn. As he advised his fellow citizen‘ ‘who called to congratulate him upon the result of the Pennsylvania and Ohio State elections, three weeks ago, so he says to them now: “Do not forget that, with high toned and honorable mon, the hour of triumph is always the hour of magnanimity.”’ You will see that New Hampshire has given the largest rolative majority for General Pierce of any State in the Union. The returns are not yet all re- -ecived, but sufficient to approximate very nearly to | the result. This State and Georgia, I believe, are now the only ones which choose electors by a ma jority vote. Last March, the democrats clected their Governor, Martin, by a majority of about 1,200 (twelve hundred,) over Lawyer, (whig,) and Atwood, (free soil) Pierco’s plurality over Scott ‘will now reach 14.000, and he will have some 7,000 to 8,000 over both Seott and Hale. somparatively little excitement throughout the Btate in the late campaign.

In but few towns were the urual rallying committees needed. At least 1,600 whigs, also, have vot-d direetly for Pierce, to show their diegust at these calumnies, while two or three thousand more stay+d at home and would not vote for Scott. In this town, (Conoord,) Goneral Pierce received 912 (the largest vote ever cat for either whig or democrat) out of an aggrogate of 1,695 utee. hel @ plurality of 398 over Scott, and & majority in since last March election. when the whigs and abolitionists united, and carriod their represonta. ti bout fifty majority, 291!

Who is to Form General Pierce's Cabinet ? | Already we find from different quarters rumors, put out evidently as feelers, as to who is to form Jeneral Pierce’s cabinet. Of course thore is | Rething in all these statements beyond the mero wishes of the friends of the gentlemon named, as General Pierce has uniform!y declined to express avy opinion on the matter yet, and will doubtless | take full time for deliberation. Although the demo- | cratic party is so strong now as to be in danger of | division, simply from its unwieldiness, still this very strength is beneficial to General Piorce in the forma- tion of his administration. His own nomination presents, in itself, a marked and pregnant instance of the popular will. After | & protracted contest amengst all the old leaders of the democratic party, he, a new and not prominent | Bame, was at length chosen to represent the | party. There is, therefore, a freshne:s about him, | which it is expected he will carry with him into | the Presidential chair. Ho is peculiarly the representative of principle—not of men or cliques. No one State, much less any sub-division of the party in any State, ean claim the exclusive credit of aving secured his election. He enters the White House, consequently, untrammallea—bound to no section, but the representative of all sections | . Political pilgrimages, from all sorts of people, , have become,the order of the day, and I understand, | from excellent authority, that the cars to Concord are daily crowded. As a general thing, it is to be hoped ail these pilgrims will be disappointed—for | their missions are, with few exceptions, merely self- | ish and interested. General Pierce is, however, too | shrewd and sensib! man to be imposed upon, and it is, therefore, quite probable that most of these | patriots will come back as empty handed and head- | ed.as they went. | To some politicians, the offices which a new Prosi- | dency throws open are considered the all important | matter. Of couree the usual meee will cake place | next March—the whigs go out and demoorats go in. There will be a good deal of hardship, suffering and misery, amongst those who have to go out, and probably an ial amount of rejoicing amongst those who will take their places. ‘his is the natu- ral effect of the system, and whilst we may pity the removed, we must remember that they are only pow partaking of the same dish which they proffered to the democrats in 1849. Then there was a great | deal of misery. But what cared tho successful office- seeker for it? Andnew, when the tables are turnod, | it is merely scant justice. Bat, as far as the great mass of the people are concerned, they care nothing about the offices; and when they support an administration, it is from disinterested motives, and becauce | | they approve of its policy. It is the approval of this class that General Pierce’s success will depend upon; and be, without doubt, well knows it. This class of the Amerioan people are not likely to trou- ble bin with pilgrimages to New Hampshire, nor will they Gill the halle of the departments with insty | calls for office. They will look to his acts, and thoy will judge of them accordingly. They are now dis- | poked to bestow a generous confidence upon him ; and the choice of his constitutinal advisers will also exercise, in advance, a powerfal influence in their minds. Who will form his cabinet 7 Will they be men who will command the confidence of the whole | country ! The solation of this question will oome | due time, and it will influonce the destiny of ‘a | republic, perhaps, beyond anything which we | dream of. | Opinions of the German and French Press, in Regard to the Result, a THR FRENOH Wigw.

The first timo I ever heard of this charge against General Pierce, was about « month ago. I then supposed is was entirely a fabrication, coined for political par- posta, which no intelligent man would believe, much loss vouchfor, Since that time, I have conversed freely with all the officers of the Thave mes who served with General Pierce in Mexico. and not one of them has heeltated to express the opinion that this charge was un- founded. though rome of them like myself. have always been whigs Two of those officers, who came down in the same train with General Pierce and Cupt.
