Triumph of Wm. H. Seward at the Late Election.

The result of the State election is sufficiently apparent, already, to indicate. beyond a doubt, that the great “irrepressible conflict” hero, who gave the key note to the Brown rebellion at Harper’s Ferry, has coma out victorious front the conflict. Arch Belzebtib of American politics as Mr. Seward undoubtedly is, he surpasses in craft for which he is remarkable, all of his cotemporaries. The late election in New York, as well as in other Northern States, bodes ill for the future peace of the Union. They are a direct triumph for the shrewdest demagogue and traitor whom the country has ever produced, and fearful as the prospect is, he must be the next Presidential candidate of the Black Republican party; but it remains to be seen whether the eight hundred thousand waters whose apathy has contributed to I,is success will rouse themselves in time to, prevent the still greater and more fatal catastrophy of his election, during the coming year.—Aeic York Herald. It is thus that the Satanic press rails and rages over Republican success in the recent elections. Having exhausted itself and Billinsgate, the Herald confesses to its impotency. Its libels have borne no fruit, but such as have turned to ashes. Like the toad, ugly and venomous, it has yet worn a precious jewel in its head, and contributed in no small degree to the triumph of Republicanism. If Mr. Seward should be the chosen standard-bearer of the host of Freedom in 1860, the New York Herald may congratulate itself that it has done its share to make him so. It is seldom that malignity has so far over-reached itself, and won so signal a guerdon.
