MODlLE ELECTIoN.

We have tho pleasure of informing our Demo-
cratic friends abroad, that the election terminated
yesterday IN complete Democratic rie.ory. We
have no guns to fire, no artificial earthquakes, M
shouts 10 rend the air, no prairrics to burn. We
leave thct mode triumph 70 that party which new
er spares fallen foe s. ceases toay on the lash while
they hold The whip handle. Il is sufficient for US 10
say, that our true-hcarcd Democracy have gone
into an unequal contest; with ell the odds against
them. The issue was fairly presented; the strug-
gle was upon pure party questions without colat-
teral isspcs to distract the expressof public opn-
ion from the great ISSUE Van Buren, an independent
| Treasury, and Democratic Republesns, were bold.
| " ptted against Clay aud National Eank. Tho
result is Democratic maj prity Of one hundred and
| fftg votes in Mobile County. In some OF the pre-
cin,s in the county. not rotc was polled for Wigs
Our whole ticket is elected, and tie greatest triumph
of all is that VIC have wrescd one city from our en-
mies. In Mobile we have beaten tho enemy 50
votes-a triumph never achieved before
II IS worthy Of remark, that the Judges and In
\ spec,ors Of the electons, were all Wings. The
County Court, Che appointing power being Whgl
Flowed our party no voice in the Board oil lnspec
tors a specimen of iIlbefality unprecedented IN the
annals Of elections. II is believed by the Democra~
cy that at least one hundred legal Democratic votes
were rejcs,cd With all these odds we have beaten
them.
The Democrats Of Mobile deserve the "well done
They applied themselves 10 the business Of voting
with good will and resolution that gave cheering
hope in the beginning Of the election, that victory
would be ours The Wings were confident OF
success that il is said they had made preparation tor
great triumph, and had engaged all the sneral ap-
paratus for burIylng the Democracy. They have
rohly nierited dottat in this county, by the open
contempt they have expressed Tor democracy
for their arrogant assumptions Of superiority, and
