THE TRIUMPH OF REPUBLICANISM IN NEW-YORK.

Next to the late intelligence from the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. the most agreeable news we could receive has been derived from the state of New-York. Notwithstanding the rallying of federalism. aided by all the factions and fractions which ambition and disappointment could bring together, the great cause of republicanism has triumphed in that great and important member of the Union. Thus is the war ratified by more than five-sixths of the empire. The infamous expectations formed from a northern confederacy are completely frustrated. Massachusetts is reduced to a most contemptible and abortive minority. The federal government is reinstated on stronger ground than ever. The geographical calculations of the insidious enemy have all miscarried. The war must go on to an honorable termination--and England and her American friends are--just where they ought to be.

Once more, on this occasion, we presume to remind the government of the very lofty and impregnable position it stands upon; of the absolute necessity of taking measures corresponding with its great strength. In a free country the period seldom can occur when all sections, especially of a confederated republic, will be so well united as the United States are at present. They never were so much so during the war of the revolution Considering the disastrous counter-current of the war last summer, it is only to be wondered at that they are so well and firmly compacted now, and the crisis is over. The discomfiture of federalism, forlorn federalism, has been total, with all its subsidiary co-operations. It is obvious, from inspecting the late election returns of N York, that the tide has set in the right way, with irresistable, and of course, increasing impulse. But it is equally certain that this tide has but just set in, and will swell in the lapse of another twelve-month to an overwhelming political current.

The late elections in all the states south of New-England demonstrate, in most cheering proof, the vast, invincible ability of the great popular party of this country. It may be deceived for a moment by false guides. It may be dismayed by a series of national reverses. But it will always rally upon its own inherent energy, and resume that sovereignty it is destined to enjoy forever. The vista of the future is delightful to behold. America-republicanism-- this just war— all look full of promise, are all proof against their foes, foreign and domestic. Every thing now depends on the tone of the government. If this is the strongest government on earth, this is the moment for proving how strong it is; not in acts of violence and unmanly triumph over prostrate antagonists; but in the assertion of its own just rights and the sovereignty of those, who, in calling for this war, expected the requisite measures to be adhered to for its successful carrying on.

A boisterous, but now most wretched contumacy, will probably continue to rage in the east. As to dismemberment, the great threat of that distracted quarter of the union, it is preposterous to talk of it any longer. New-York and Vermont will take care that the republic take no detriment from Massachusetts. Indeed, that redoubtable state is so dependant on the middle and southern states, as to be saved from a famine only by their supplies. She may have all the state authorities by the late elections, in her own control, and may proceed as soon as her Hotspurs of the North shall deem that long threatened emergency expedient, to declare her commonwealth no longer an integral part of the Union. But sheer want of bread would quickly bring her back a begging.

Thus happily circumstanced as these United States are, all of them true to the cause of all, but two, remote, and (as now administered) worse than useless states, and those two entirely dependent on the rest for even a bare subsistence, it is needless to repeat how easy it must be in the federal government to be strong-handed in their measures; how impolitic, how base, how ruinous to yield one jot of the interests of the whole to the nerveless clamors of any one section.
