 THE PARTY-The result of the late Presi- dential election, supposing it to have gone for Van Buren, is not like that of most other can- vases of the kind. Formerly defeated par ty lay prone for time, gathered itself slowly from it's prostration, and looked about with caution for some new name or point of prin- ciple upon which to rally. The principal ex- ception to this is found in the case of the Jack son party in 1924. They started at once from defeat, repeated their watchword, spread out their old flag, and were in three weeks as rea- dy for action as they were three weeks before the election. They scorned complimentary never repined-they blamed no friend for supineness, nor charged any with treason, but invited all to the ranks for new contest.- The mere form of trying the new administra- tion by its fruits, and sustaining it where it was right, was dispensed with, as at once time lost and friends endangered. "The admins tration," says Richard M. Johnson,~ 'fmust be put down, though it'were as pure as the an- gels which stand at the right hand of God"- and the administration, the purest, Washing tons excepted, that ever stood at the head of affairs, was "put down." The candidates were ready the machinery of party running smooth, and all worked we'll. The party which has been defeated in the election of MT Van Buren, occupy grounds more favorable to success than were those ofthe Jackson par ty in lS24-they have only to resolve, and they are at once united. It has been cOnclu- sively shewn that Gen. Harrison is the most popular man, excepting perhaps Gen. Jack son, that can be found. The manner and time of his nomination were unfriendly to all hopes of success, and yet with the whole power of the administration against him, 1t IS seen that he is immeasurably ahead of the expectations of his friends at the time of his nomination, and of his foes until after the election. We are not now attempting to run parallel be- tween MT. Van Buren and Gen. Harrison.- Let the former be tried by his actions as Pre- sident, and the latter by the vote which he received for that office, the circumstances of the election being also considered. We con- sider, then, at the present moment, that there is no man in the United States upon whom the opposition to MT. Van Buren can, with so much propriety, and so much certainty of success, unite, as upon William H. Harrison.
 We are not asking that our party should make, or act on, any such declaration as we have quoted above, and which was imputed to Col. Johnson but we do ask, that while we give the new administration fair trial,
 we do it as resting on our arms, not with arms stacked or grounded. If all should be well, then will be the time to confess satisfaction, and abiure opposition; if, on the contrary, the measures of the present administration should, as has been promised, be carried out to their extent, then let us not have to find name, and seek for candidate. Our party is established upon principles-whoever carries those principles into practice, is their man; ; but as they are not cheered with even pro- mise, they must abide by their principles, and not be without man. Hereafter, then, we may expect that those who have opposed the election of MT. Van Buren, will await all re- suits, as HARRISON MEN-and when oPpositlon
 is rendered necessary, all who mean to op-
 pose, will merge all names and distinctions
 in the one potent and expressive appellation of HARRISON MEN. Erenness of Temper.-Madame Neckar tells
 the following anecdote of M. Abauret, phi
 losopher of Geneva: It was said of him that
 he had never been out of temper; some per-
 sons, by means of his female servant, were
 determined to put him to the proof The wo-
 man in question stated that she had been his servant for thirty years,and she protested that during that time she had never seen him in a passion they promised her a sum of money if she would make him angry She consent ed and knowing that he was particularly fond of having his bed we'll made, she, on the day appointed, neglected to make it. M. Ab- auret observed it, and on the next morning made the observation to her. She answered that she had forgotten it she said nothing more, but on the same evening neglected to make the bed. The same observation was made on the morrow, and she again made some excuse, in cooler manner than before. On the third day he said to her, '" You have not yet made my bed you have, apparently, come to some resolution on the subject, or you probably found it fatigued you. But, af- ter all, 1t is of no great consequence, as be- gin to accustom myself to it as it is." She threw herself at his feet, and avowed all to him.-Eng. paper.
