Democrats Of Lowndes, 20 have dsne nobly !
and deserve the thanks Of the republican patty
throughout the State. You went into the contest
discouraged and diyded-you came out Of H. not
completely successful Il is true, yet with flying
colcrs, giving Hajoriesto all the state officers &
eleciing one member 10 the Legislature. Cheer.
iy, them organize your forces, and prepare to
do battle again with Ihe foes Of ihe constitution,
and the friends Of bank monopoIios
And conquer yuu must, since your cause IL |, iu,f
Let thus DO your motto, +" in God Is our trust~
And your altar spanglcd banner, in triumph shall
Der tho land Of The free and The home Of the brave.
THE ELECTION-LOWNDES co.
Tho result Of our election, for members Of
Congress, and for State and County officers, will
be found Ia table. Wo have elected member
10 the Legislature. and We have given demo.
cratic majority for members OF Congress, and
for oil tho State ofIicers That we should have
succeeded throughout but for our divisions, no
candid man can doubt We lost two members TO
the Legislature by the obstinaoy Of one Of our
party. Nine tenhs Of tho votes given 10 Mr.
Leske were unqucsiionably democratic. AT emo
Of the Precinis in The county II is known
TINT majority Of democrats gave him single
shois. We lost tho Sheriff also in the same
manner-iwo democrats running against one
Nhlg. Ia fact, the two wing members Of the
I~s's'~.-'s, lao oss,,T the olnet
county officers elected BY tho whigs, are minority
men. They succeeded not by their own strength,
but by our divisions. But more OF this hereafter.
When tho excitement Of the contest is over, and
We can calmly review the field, we will point our
tho causes OF our partial defeat. Suffice il for
the present 10 say, that We have clear and an.
denlable democratic majority in the coun,y--a
majority too. which will increase every day. The
wings went for the spols Of office, 'and il must be
confessed that they succeeded in cutching no
small portion Of them.

the suspension Of specie payment by the Banks,

unlucky confession this, for our good friends, The
Wings Their principles triumphant only in
suspcasion Of specie payments Yet IS true.
The wings are blind devoecs Of rsg-lnoney and
shln.plasters and as these abound most when
payments in specie are refused BY the Banks,
suspension may, with great force of truth, be
called triumph Of Wig principles, US our friend

The above is hose thrust. II cuts deeper
than the editor oil the Flag had any idea i: would.
The Argus man was one Of the first shinpasler
