The pilot and transcript. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1840-1841, 1840-11-16

The following is from the New York Com
mercial Advertiser It is pleasing to note the
prevalence of such sentiments in the Wing par
ty:-
esREJoIciNG FOR VIcToRY-We have received
a communication ON this subject, with the senti-
ments which cur own much in unison. The
writer objects to any extravagant, noisy and eX-
pensive celebration,as at once useless, wastetul,
unbecoming and IN bad taste. We think SO too
The contest in which we have been engaged was
not strife of passion, but OF principle. Its re-
result we believe to be vastly important to the
people and the institutions of the country; and
that result imposes on the successful party duties
of high responsibility To meet and fulfil those
duties, it becomes them to exert all their abili-
ties and display all the best attributes of human
nature. The first good work to which attention
should be given is that OF Cancellation. Although
the people of the country have been SO many
wears standing in opposition TO each other, they
are vet one people; and far as is possible they
should be brought to act together as one people
for the common good. We believe that without
any violence to principle and opinion the two
parties may be Induced to approach each other,
in ministering to the public veal, much mord
closely than would be inferred from the past,ah-
that foundation may be laid for the determlna-
ton of future political contests with less dlvere
gence of effort less excitement, and muehlless oil
personal ill-feeling. To accomplish this desira-
Bile object should now be our study and our care;
and as one means towards an end so beneficial,
we would counsel great moderation IN the dis
play of feeling. We have gained great Victo-
ry; the best way to rejoice over it is, to improve
it. We can gain nothing by creating mortifica-
ton and il-will in the bosoms Of our friends and
fellow citizens who have differed from as In OPT
mon; by convincing them that we were right we
can gain much; and we all know to insult pre-
JUDGES is not the way TO overcome them.
Our friendly correspondent suggests, as a
suitable method of rejoicing, the commencement
of public and general subscription for the re-
lief of such wants and suferings as are likely to
exist during the approaching winter. we re-
cogAize the benevolence of this suggestion but
doubt its expediency. Politics and charity can
not we'll be brought to work in unison. Means
for the relief of the destitute generally best
devised and carried out by individual effort land
even if a considerable sum were likely to be
raiesd by such a subscription as our friend pro-
poses, we apprehend that disadvantages would
follow, more than sufficient to couHterbalance
all the good
We would suggest, however, to all who may
be disposed or invited to contribute money for
celebration, whether they might not better en-
plov the sums they would be willing to give for
such purpose, in aiding the many benevolent
institutions existing among US, sr in ministering
to the wants of those meritorious and needy
fellow-creatures of whose necessities they have
personal knowledge"
The New York Star says:
owe are pleased to observe the model alton
which characterizes the great opposition party
under the excitement of their recent victory
1t would be unwise and ungenerous to taunt the
Crank and file" of our opponents with the vices
of the selfish demagogues by whom they have
been deluded."
