Our friends never enter- > tained a doubt that the strength of Our or? ganination would enable us to triumph over either of the old parties, hat the most sanguine of us scarcely anticipated that the period would arrive when wo would be stronger numerically than | those old patties combined. The recent election, however, has not only shown this to be the case, but also demonstrated that In this , vicinity our strength has al- ; ready gone far beyond the latter point. It has not only exceeded the united vote of the Whig and Democratic parties, but it has, in addition, beaten the entire naturalized vote, both Catholic and Protestant, which waa arrayed against ns, and united upon the Whig ■ and Democratic■ fusion ticket to defeat the American candidptes, Notwithstanding all these elements of. opposition combined,; we succeeded in electing our ticket by a large majority, add exhibited a strength which was much bieyond any calculations that had heretofore been made by us. We triumphed, therefore/ single handed, oyer a foreign.vote, and the united efforts 5 of the Wing and Democratic parties, rind encountered hs formidable dn opposition aa conld imdcr tmy circumstances he arrayei against us. f..

The Allies and the War.

It is qo secret, that the war now being j carried on against Russia, does not com-, matid the full sympathies of the American' people. ‘ In to the natural ini* pulse of generous heart*!, they took sides with the weaker party, ami hoped fur the success of the Turk against the oppression of the Czar. These hopes donbttes? still continue, hut the Alliance of the Western powers has complicated this Issue, with □there affectiog .the politics .of all- that portion of Europe, width has manifested any love for, or spirit worthy of liberty. After a long period of rascillation, Austria has given as her final'ultimatum, an armed neutrality. She will 'unite- in imposing no condition and in making no terms that Britain'and France can submit to. Prussia Is even more decided in her Russian affinities, and the two remaining members of an alliance, that was at first supposed to include the four great'powers, are left to fight out their battles alone. It was the darling hope of the IHends of popular liberty, that Austria would have ■ taken • sides with Russia, so that Hungary, and Italy, and Poland,, might me, and, aided hy England .and France, throw off the yoke of despotic power.— Then, instead of waiting years of time, and ten thousand lives, before Tortresses like and Sebastopol, which so far hare proved impregnable, the heart of Russia would have been thrown open to .an invading army. . Moscow! could have-been reached by men who were prepared to. stand its burnings, and the defense, of. St.; Petersburg would, have offered hut slight resistance to such attacking force as might have been brought against them. There would have been a motive and o result in such a war, that wo could have gloried in. ' Jt might have been guinary, but it would have bcemshort. ;
