The Richmond Enquirer of Friday last.
contains the following paragraph
More Waterloo Dsfeats-"Scarcely have
our opponents ceased to raise the 10 pleun of
triumph for the bootless victories of Mary
land and of Delaware, before their Waterloo
Defeats in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
come on to dash all their hopes, and dissi-
pate their calculations.
This is what the Enquirer gives TO its rea-
ders as truth. How stand the facts? Ia
Pennsylvania, whose representation in the
present Congress contains hut enc opposition
member, there have been elected to the next
Congress according to the Harrisburg Intel
hsenccr,) nine opposition members. In .Neto
jersey the opposition have gained five mem
bers in the Legislature. These, the Enqui
rer says, are "Waterloo Defeats" but the
revolution in Maryland, unprecedented in
the history Of parties, is a "bootless triumph"
