promised the most glorious results Alas, now
were our hopes dashed TO the EARTH The hand
of mower waived over the land-patronage was pill

We regarded this as a wonderful display of patriotic

suffering only to escape with bare majority Oh
40 or so; pulse indeed quickened-our spirit
rose within US; but we scarcely dared to found any
general calculations upon these partial results
Then came North Carolina, which in November
last, gave her Electoral vote to Van Buren, and
Johnson-electing 8 out of 10 members of Congress
true Wings, with large popular majority against
the Spoilers.
Tennessee, the homo of the Hero of hundred pri
vate wars-,he land of brave and free spirits, comes
along proudly with her Wing Governor backed by
| 20 900 majority and 10 out of 13 members of Con-

little Rhode Island, one of the Old Thirteen, is
called upon TO utter her voice. the land Of spinning
iennes and cotton mills; the land of busy industry,
of free religious federation, speaks and her voice is
heard like thunder clap from end of the coun-
try to the other. She discharges her Dutee without
the fear of 4m,os before her eyes, and returns two
able Wing members TO Congress by 1000 majority
a majority almost unexamI led in her political his
tory. Wings began to whisper in the car of Wings,
these signs of the times not to be mistaken.
Revolution is at hand. The downfall Of Domagogue
Tyranny has been decreed, and let us TO the work.
Not too fast friends Not every breeze brings on
tempest every leaf summer A hundred guns
at Boston-a hundred guns at Salem-a hundred at
Phlladelp hia-a hundred at Baltimore, and almost
a hundred other cities and towns speak out the no
longer suppressed tones of joy. Men when over
joyed will rejoice "Coming events cast their shad-
ows before'-the Country is about to break the
Despot yoke into a thousand pieces, and let us re-

she comes into the field like an Elephant armed
treadng under foot the pgmy brood of hireling
mercenaries that have long tormented and leased
her. This is the greatest and noblest victory of
all. A drilled majority of 5000 demolished at

majority of or 10 IN the popular branch Great

Hurra for the Jersey Blues This patriotic State
deserves to be remembered as Of yore. Here
the tide of war turned on the glorious fields of
Trenton, and Princeton and Monmouth in tho
revolution and here, in our day, the iessians of
the Administration have been routed and put to
flight. An adverse majority of ten in the two
branches of her Legislature turned into Wing
ajorty of 81 in single year, cnsuring the cleo
ton of wing Governor and all other State officers
| Pennsylvania relied upon, from her numerous
German, Irish, and Swiss population, to afford a
check to the overwhelming torrent of wing success
Here humbuggery and loco focoism supposed
to be entrenched and impregnable Here the Wings
had more fears than hopes. Now for the result: A
sentavcs reduced to about 10 or H. and a clear
wing majority of in the Senate. Well done thou
land of VIM Penn But one more vigorous blow
here, and all will be we'll.
Ohio, cut up and Gerrymandered in the vain
hope of still ruling in the Legislature, with pop
ular majority Of 8 or 10000 against them Ohio has
come, emancipated and free. The Lilputian cords
thrown around her giant limbs in the moments of
her slumber she has broken asunder, she stands
out redeemed in every branch of her government.
, A majority of or 10 in the House, and in the
, Senate, against Van Buren, majority of or zone
year ago, shews another signal instance of the pow

> Last but not least, honest little State
comes in for share of the honors of the triumph
An increased majority of two in the Senate, and Of
