PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

We feel gratitied in being able to say, that the
prospect of rc-elecng our present chief magistrate
is on the whole, Frightening. There has no single
circumstance occurred to cloud our hopes, except
the recent election in Pennsy yvana and even there
we loose nothing, for we had never made that
State part of our dependence. On the other
hand, opponents have generally taken into their
calculations certainly, least probably, Indiana,
Louisiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware. New
Jersey, and several votes from N England All Of
which states in their recent elections have shown
how groundess their pretenslons were. To these
NAV be added Ohio, whose election is now on, and
from the returns far as received, leaves them not
the smallest to hope there. In short, we
have realized all our calculations thus far, which
certainly ought to go lar to confirm in the belief
that our cause is not only good one but that it
will ultimately succeed. though opposed by the most
desperate faction ever known TO this happily land
a faction whose motto needs but to be universally
known. to be universally execrated. Reader, have
you ever seriously considered it II is certainly the
most implous and horrible declaration ever made
by any man or set of men--'' They must be put
down though as pure as angels" And for what
are men pure as angels to be put down the PLAN,

pure as deamons 1--WE mean the master spirits, a
few of whom may be found in every Stale) should
occupy their places. But their golden dreaIus are
boxes at the November storms.
