Immediately, they would've become the popular party because of the republicans inability to win the war.

The tariff issue probably becomes de-emphasized as much of the anti-tariff constituency is no longer in the Union.  I could see the Democrats capitalize on racial issues, especially with slaves trying to escape the CSA and settling up North.

I can imagine Horatio Seymour, Horace Greeley, Edward Everett, and Caleb Cushing becoming major politicians. If Sam Houston's family flees North, they may run for office there.
