,incerely hope and believe has been decided by the sober
and settled judgment of the American people.
In exchanging mutual congratulations with each other
upon the result of the late election, the Democratic party
should remember, in calmly reviewing the contest. that
of fellow-citizens who have differed with us

exercise of their opinions and judgments; and that the

the Demo-

erotic party, and of their principle s. in the late election,
it should be in no spirit of exultation over the defeat of
our opponents ; but it should be because, as we honestly
believe, our principles and policy are better calculated
than theirs to promote the true interests of the country.
In the position in which I have been placcd by the vol-
untary and unsought suffrages of my fellow-citizens, it
wilt become my duty, as it will be my plertsure,faitAin/ty
and truly to represent, in the ,xecutive department of the
Government, the principles and policy of the great party
of the country who have elevated me to it; but, at the
some time, it is proper that I should declare that I shall
not regard myself as the representative of a party only,
but of the whole people of the United Slates; and I trust
that the future policy of the Government may be such es
to secure the happiness and prosperity of all, without the
distinction of party.

MRS. POLE, THE LADY 01? THE AMERICA..., PRESI-
DENT ELECT.—The Americana seem to anticipate much
advantage from having a President with an agreeable wife.
Mrs. Polk is described as quite a good-looking woman,
having a great deal of tact, and a certain amount of that
genius for society which will doubtless give a new tone to
fashionable matters in Washington. It is a long time
(say they) since the White House was tenanted by a lady
possessed of commanding position, talents, genius, and
pe!sonal beauty ; and we should not be at all surprised if
Mrs. Polk were to restore to the White House the brilli-
ancy, refinement, and gaiety which distinguished it daring
the presidency of Mr. Madison, when Mrs. Madison was
presiding genius. In fact, the accession of Mr. Polk
it the best prospect of a complete restoration
Cr, elegance, refinement, beauty, and fashion to
'n Washington.
