GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF WING
PRINCIPLES.


present. and the result so far IS signai EVIL
dence of the truth of MIR. Van Buren's remark,
that the sober, second thoughts oil the people
are never wrong and are always e6cent."--
Fifteen states have held their congressional
elections, and the members 10 the next Con-
gress are classed as follows Wings II Lo-
co Focos SO +; Wing maj ten. From The same
states the members Of the present Congress
stand, Wings Ga Loco Focos SO. The mem
bers from the eleven remaining states stand
now, Sc Wings, and SO Loco Focos, and if
the Wings do no more than hold their own in
these, the Wing maj. in the House in the next
Congress will be TwENTy-sEvEN. This is the
more important, because the election Of a Pres
dent will devolve on the new Congress, If
there should be no choice by the people and
in that case il will be seen that neither Mr..
Van Buren, nor any other Loco Foco can be
chosen aud if the Congressional elections are
a true indication of the political preferences Of
the people, as of course they are, no Loco Fo-
co can receive majority oft the electoral votes.
II remains therefore only for the Wings to
unite upon one Of the three prominent candi-
dates of the party, to secure The election of a
man who will carry out their republican prn-
cples and effect reform in the administra-
ton of our national affairs which majority
of the people seem to be aware is so much
needed.
NoRTH CAROLINA. A Wing has been cho-
sen Speaker of the Senate in the North Caro-
lima Legislature now in session, by a majority
of three. The majority for the Wing Speaker
Of the House was twelve.
MASSACHUSETTS. The Globe has attempted
to show from the vote for Governor, that there
has been a great diminution of the Wing
strength in this state. But it is well known
that the subject of politics was altogether Sec
ondary to the License law in the election of
Gov. and members of the Legislature. The
vote for Members Of Congress was the true
test ofpoltical strength and the Boston Atlas
gives the official returns from all the districts,
showing an aggregate Wing majority in the
state of SIXTEEN TnousAND-The 18th inst. is
the day appointed for second trial in the 4th
district (Parmenters) in which there was no
choice.
New York. The Journal Of Commerce
states that the whole number of votes polled
in that state at the recent election was, THREE
HUNDRED AND sEvENTY-rIvE THOUSAND being
eighty thousand more than last year The
long aud short of the matter is, that the num-
Der OF votes polled at this election is $4,000
more than was erer before polled in the state.
No man therefore will pretend, as was done
last year, that there has been no general rally
of the forces. The Wing gain from 1886 is
Forty THOUSAND. Hurrah for Jackson p
DELAWARE. From the following it appears
that little Delaware is still true to republican
principles.
From The Deia~are State Journal
We tell the Globe, the Pennsylvania, and
others of that stamp, that they count without
their host, when they claim the members
elected in Sussex. as Loco Focos they are
sound Wings, and will elect Wing Sena-
Tor in January next Remember that
There is no falling off from principle in the
Wings of Delaware The State is decided.
! " Wing as il ever was and the sense of
disgrace, the ardent desire TO wipe out the
stigma OF their late defeat will stimulate the
Wings at the Presidential election in 1910,
10 renewed and unprecedented exeriions -
their majority we confidently predict, will
exceed any they have ever yet given. I'VE
bide our time"
The TABLES TURNED. Formerly a lead
ing English Quarterly was wont to ask 10
sneering way, Who reads an American
| book 2" Now large proportion of the books
advertised by the London booksellers are A
merican reprints, or mpouatons from this
country. Who would have thought at the pc
riod Of the American revolution, that the then
almost unsettled wilderness of Vermont, would
in sixty years furnish the London booksellers
with some of the most valuable publications
on their shelyes2 Yet this has been realized,
the Topographic Co. in this place having re-
Gently received and answered an order for some
OF their publications. from a bookseller in Lon
don. This speaks well for the character of
the books issued from the Company's press
They are among the most valuable and popu
lar publications before the public
MINERAL RESOURCES OF OUR STATE. II is
much to be regretted that our Legislature
should have refused TO authorize Geological
survey Of this state. Immense mineralogical
resources exist among us, which would be
brought TO light by such an enterprise. and
