Bu6alo.-We have received a letter from a
friend in Buffalo stating that real estate has not
deprecated in the least in value in consequence
of the failure of Rathbun, but on the contrary sales
have been more brisk and commanded better pri-
ces since his failure than before. We think that
Buffalo has too firm a foothold-too much wealth
too much enterprizo-too many local advanta-
ges, to have its onward progress materially impe.
ded by the downfall of one man.

do not advise q bet under any circum.
stances. i rarely make one. But the
opposition habitually resort to betting, as a
test, whenever they entertain the least
confidence in their strength, of their pre-
tended claims of success. Believing that
all their claims in this respect are put forth
with a deliberate design to deceive and de-
lude the public /; and believing, also, that
they knoac that their statements have no
foundation in truth, | have thought it expe-
dent to offer the following test. 1t will be

believe their own assertions, it will be ia

ever they imagine the chances of success
to be in their favor. If they decline or
avoid it, they will show at least their W

Were it not that the people Of the United States
had become acquainted with and know how to
appreciate the bragadocia language and assertions
of the opposition press, they would be halfinclin-
ed to think that Harrison would be elected to the
chief magistracy of the union, and that Martin
Van Buren, would be driven from the field entirely,
such is their continued series of Great Wing Vic
tories.!--au hail Indiana--the sohtg candidate
for Governor elected By a large majority, &C.,
when the truth is, as it regards the last mentions
ed boast, which has been going the rounds of
the opposition press, and has undoubtedly been a
great feast to many a knight of the quill and scis-
sors, there has been no governor elected in lndi-
ana this year. Such is the result, generally, of
their great triumphs. The people of the United
States have lived through two as warmly contest
ed elections as will probably ever be known that
of 1923 and 1892. They have seen the scurri.
lous libels propagated and ushered forth through
the columns of the professedly respectable yet
apostate prints--they have seen the various das-
tardly attacks upon our present venerable chief
magistrate, even down to the infamous coffin
hand-biI, which was circulated through every
nook and corner of the United States, together
with the various carricatures posted up in every
public place, with intent to prejudice the minds
Of the people against him while a candidate for
reelection to tho presidential chair; even with
tho influence Of a deep rooted and widely spread
monied institution to aid them and not only this,
but they have seen the private character of female
innocence villanously assailed with a view of fur
thering their political ends. But what was the
RESULT Iney came Forward and showed through
the ballot boxes of '32 an overwhelming majority
for the democratic candidate, and a reaction
upon the authors ofthose slanderous productions.
At the present time we see the same continued
TRADE of abuse from the same soucre, heaped upon
tho democratic candidates for the two highest Of
fees in the gift of the people, nomination
made by a convention of delegates from the diff
ferent states of the union, at Baltimore. Martin
Van Buren, is known to the people of the United
States, and when he was recalled from the Court
of st. James by the fractions Senate Of 81, they
testified through the ballot boxes of '32 their
respect for him and their disapprobation of the
conduct of the senate, by placing him in the Sec
ond Office in their gift. Richard M. johnson
also stands high in the estimation of his country
men, and will, by their voice, notwithstanding
tho slanderous libels propagaetd against him, and
banded about by the opposition press, be placed
in the office of Vice Presidency Of the Union.
