Extract from letter from Philadelphia.
The late elections have proued, beyor
question, the sure and solid state of DR.,
gressive Democracy. Four Thousand 81
hundred votes for the Democratic car
didates in the city, a majority of onI
twenIy-six hundred for the Wing memBe
of Congress; and no difference in Sea-
geant's vote from his UncOnspicuOu
colleague, together with Swift the Nav
or, being twelve hundred votes benin
his ticket, are unqueStiOHable indication
that change is at hand, and not such
one as Webster will like. Browns na
JOrity in SOutherland's district is; | be

McMichael answered the Abolition in.
quiries in a line of acquiescence, though
he was formerly even furious and disor-

gersoll answered in temperate but de-
clded argument against the policy of ab-
OIition by agitation from abroad, and re-
Pea!ed what he said in the reform con-
VentiOn-that a party Abolitionist is a
traitor to the United States. Not stop.
ping at that unreserved disapprbval of
their conduct, his answer superadded that
It zeal wants a field for action, lei it
wage war against the bondage of banks.
In this way lngersoll without hesitation
defined the position he intended to hold
if elected, and without a word of compro-
mise, declared his opposition to the Con-
servative and abolition parties. To the
Wing party, in all their other tenets, Of
course he was opposed. The consequence
is, that, target as as he has been for three
years for all the barbed arrows of the
