The democ rats entering into the contest with
their usual zeal and dete rminatOn They have for
maly resolved to "redeem the State as they ia
setiously call mblipg out corrupt and selfish set
Of men, TO install another set equally corrupt and
selfish their places; and If they do not succeed. it
will not be for the want Of persevering exerton -
There is great deal to admire in the character of
the sturdy democracy. Their party is never dis
souragcd by any concurrence Of unfortunate cir
cumstances They ii ut resolutely and unremit-
tngly against any Odds and in the face Of the most
disastrous defeat As Bonsparte said Of the ssians,
they new er know when they are licked, and in the
long run, they must inevitably triumph. The anita
gonst party may achieve temporary successes, as
they have heretofore, but democracy must even
tually prevail. Even at the ensuing election, the
wings can only carry the State by the utmost
harmonious concert Of action, and by concilating
every branch OF their heterogeneous party. There
are many potent elements which the democrats will
combine and direct against their adversaries. The
question of a Bankrupt Law, a sort of two-edged
sword, that is liable to cut either way, will I'M
doubtedly be turned to the injury of the wings.
The adroitness of the democrats in availing
themselves of such instruments, is far superior
to that of the wings. Besides, they tn orougnly
and perfectly united. Any little dissensions or
differences OF opinion, are adjusted in the Com
mittee Room. They have no laundering, AFRO
giant leaders, who expend their strength in endeavor-
ing to circumvent each other, rather than to
throw their adversares. Every individual effort is
directed TO the success Of the party, and If the
suit depended the state officers only, the Wings
would be beaten all to pieces. But we apprehend
that the popularity of General Harrison, and the ne
cessty of change of the General Administration,
which seems to be generally felt, will save the
Wings for another year.
1t is not to be denied, however, that there
some encouraging circumstances for the democrats
Business is daily improving, and wheat and -four
the rise. This will furnish strong argument in
favor Of the SabTreasury and the policy Of the Ad
mnistration; bat it is doubtful whether it will be
strong enough to save this election for the dems-
Gratis.
