enough is revealed 10 show that the Democracy have
been defeated and that in this State and the Union, le
deral,sm regus victorious. Asyet however, the pub
lie mind has sufficiently recovered ITS equaniIny
TO examine, in spirit Of candor, the causes which
have operated produce this rcsult-to the serious
consideration OF which we shall in due time invite at

Democracy under the circumstances IN winch they are
