You have to wait a few days before you republish it elsewhere because Google needs time to de-index it. It may take up to a week for your article to be removed from the search results and even longer for it to be removed from Google's cache.

Your article could also have been stolen. Run it through a service like copyscape to see if it was copied. You could also try to see what comes up when searching Google for long sentences found in your articles.
