What glorious manifestation of the
tiiumph Of principle and pa,riotisre over
the combined and desperate efforts of q
iactious opposition! How gratifying to
the feelings of the President must be
this testimony of nations confidence
How mortifying to those reckless spirits
who did all but move heaven and earth
to defeat the will of the sovereign people!
How humiliating to the pharisaical sect
who for the last eight years have called
upon the mountains and hills to cover
them rather than, thnt they should wit
ness this CALLING display of nations
gratitude. And lastly, how deeply NOR
tifying to the man who imprecated, that
"war pestilence and famine" should
shed its baleful curses on our happy
land, rather than be himself defeated by
him who was destined ''to fill the meas
ure Of bis country's glory" We are
not disposed to make any unreasonable
display of qualification at the result OF
the late presidential contest, but we
must nevertheless be permitted at this
time and once for all to give utterance
to our feelings of satisfaction, that what
we esteem righteous cause has been n
gain atten led with still more signal
triumph.
From the first our confidenc in the
patriotism and ability Of General Jack
SON hos been deep and unshaken, and
though surrounded by those who were
disposed not only to withhold from him
tha, gratitude which his splendid servi-
ccs have earned,but even cndcavourcd to
blast his fair name with the vile cpithets

Unfortunate Accidens.--In Seckonk,
on the evening OF Tuesday, the 22d inst,
as Miss Hudah Milerd was attempting
TO crcss the pond ON her way to the mill,
as she and others had frequently done,
the ice broke when she was about in The
middle of the pond. Immediate assis-
tance was rendered by the inmates of the
mill, but from the depth of the water and
ihinness of the ice, it proved unnvaiIing.
The body was taken from the river as
soon as It could be found, but life had
departed. Miss M. was in the sixteenth
year of her age. In this affecting man
ner has this young lady been brought TO
en untimely end, and her widowed moth
er is bereft of an only daughte. whose
amiable character endeafed her to all
who knew her.-Proy. American.
