We enter upon the contest which lies before US, mol
only with firm resolution, but win the most cheeliu
homes of the issue Democratic principles have taken
deem root in the hearts OF many who have been led
by popuar delusion TO assist in the overthrow OF the
nrcscnt Administration. The young men oil the country,
with no very numerous exceptions are ndoctrnaed IN
Democratic principles friends to the freedom OF trade,
inclined To those plans OF legislation which interfere
least with men employmens, which create iewest OIL
fees and which founded on an honest and rigid con-
struction of the Constitution. The moment the Wing
marty bcon to move in those projects which their lead
ers have dary limited at but which they dared not dis
tinctly proclaim because they knew them to be unpo
puar we shall have this class Of young men instantly
upon our SIDE
The Dispute which has been decided against the
Democratic party has deem conducted by them in u
manner ghly to their honor, with frank avowal OF
their doctrines and intentions, and for the most part
with the weapons Of fair controversy Their adversaes
on the contrary keeping their own future policy ont
of sight and taking advantage of the endorsements OF
the times which they atlully and unnty lard to the
door OF the administration, have gained the majority By
the propagation Of gross deluson. If party has
fallen il has fallen with honor.
If our anniversaries have trIumphed their triumph IS
their disgrace nasmuch it is the fruit OF fraud. II
will be short too for the fraud to be detected
and all delusion is but for time
We have heard people say that they sorry for
Mr. Van Buren, who has been defeated in the canvass
for re- election. For part we envy Mr. Van Blu.
rem. We envy him for the high moral standing to
which he raised by this very defeat envy him for
the honorable place his name will hold in history lie
is defeated because he would beray the trust which
the people had reposed in him; because he would con-
ccdc nothing 10 expedcncy; because he would not JON
with those, by whose fraud the ma ory has now been
changed their conspiracy against the people and The
Constitution lc has been defeated simply because OF
his integrity and his nlexbilty, and because he would
not swcrve from the principles upon which the welfare
Of his country depended for the sake of securing the
present ascendancy OF his party.
