" We Ind mail yesterday, that our frnds
must restrain their Impotence regarding the election in
New York for another day: but they have this
lation to cheer them up that the very chup fallen
poets of enemies prove that in defiance of their bra
rado, they believe themselves thoroughly beaten. May
such glad anticipations be fully realized.
The democrats sadly put to it to find consolation
under their defeat to invent probable for un-
pleasing effects. One of loco foco neighbors said
on Thursday, with degree Of candour most unusual
with the tribe tive have little else but election news,
and that exactly of the character either wished
expected" Now this is frank and honest and far
better than blinking the question others do But the
most amusing way of getting out Of bad place that we
have yet met with, was that adopted by democratic
contemporary yesterday: he does go any half ways
in the lter-bu Oddly calling his imagination for
fact, manufac lures it suit his purpose without
quiring any patching up and then all that wanted to
make genuine story oft, is sufficient faith:
awe have says contemporary, "given the re-
ported majortes in the different counties altogether up
the authority of the wing papers. II is singular
and suspicious fact that however regularly the demo-
cratic slips arrive at ordinary periods, they almost in
vuriably fail when information is required of the result
Of election, Can any arhig post master explain this
pecuartyi
wing post mas er where does he think to find him.
That redoubtabe hero of renown and nurseries, ycept
Tom Thumb is recorded by that sage historian and
courtier, Grizze" to have made the giants first and
then slain them afterwards 80 the tacetious Dean
Of ST. Patrick, when compiling his veriabe history OF
" CULVER" invented race of mon. az he could
not find any ready made TO suit his purpose. And SO
did ingenious mel hbor. His need required class
OF mortals here unknown, and his fertile Imagination
forthwith supplied them, and Swift has exhibited no
greater ingenuity in creating Brobdignags, and the
Lilliputians than our loco foco friend has shown in
manufacturing tribe of ,ehig postm"sters! But let
not contemporary tlecevs himself try to deceive
hs readers; for if he could conjure up race Of wing
poetmasters who must, until l8il, remain fabulous
tribe of beings the Cenaurs ofThessalv, he could
obtain FRI the election of the city of New
York slender ISOLATION in his misery as the
prisoner had in his fellowship with the spider. We
not imagine what class of sought for in
promulsa'ng this singular doctrine. The tories, whose
motto is to the vctors belong the spoils we'll know
that posmasters and all otter officers of the general
government, necessarily tukcn from Mcir ranks
while their opponents from ruefu experience
that extra courtesy will be shown to them by the
party in power. Thus then this brilliant effort OF
our neighbours mag nation must wholly fail in its in
tended effect for both parties just about as likely
believe in the existence of the Hounhvms" Gre
