wallis on their Generals charger, or
the Lion rampant Of England un'urIed
above their shattered ranks, they would
have fallen down from very exhaustion
and died in agony Of spirit.
When you can make Wings feel
themselves at home, and do battle hear
tiIy under Van Buren,, and Ben!on, OF
Buchanan, or Wright: when you car
make them forget their own friends
with whom they have achieved so much
and suffered so much, then, and not ii
then, may you talk ofthe Whig party as
a thing that was; or in the language oI
modern classics, as "uSed up"!
Hold on a moment, Do not say this
is predicting the pcrmanenco of the
Wing party on the ground Of attachment
to men rather than principles. DO not
DC so insane as that.
10 the memorable controversy Of 1910,
there were principles enough at stake
but there was no one thing upon which
| all united so heartily, and upon which
all were so resouteIy determined as the
hurting Of a desperately corrupt party
from power-to break up, at least Tor a
time, their organization: follow what
might, the country would have o. a.respite.
This was accomplished. They went
Iurther-a Tariff, a Land Bill, a Bank.
rupI Law, repeal Of the Sub Treasury:
these were tho glorious fruits OF but one
short session Of Congress. These were
the great measures orthe party; having
achieved them they had achieved all
they proposed, except the establishment
Of a plan OF national finance. BY The
unexpected perverseness orthe national
Executive, their plans for this purpose
were defeated, beyond hope of success
during the present administration.
Is it strange then that some should
feel at liberty to rest; that others should
fee! dissatisfied, perhaps disguised for
n time, and ha, all should be apalhetlc?
No. No, NO! We could have wished it
different but we have not been much
disappointed, and arc not at all dIscour-
aged Let those talk Of discouragement
who like tho feeling and have not the
heart to retrieve a loss. But bear it 10
mind, write it upon your door posts, ye
enemies Of public Reform, We Locofocos
and Spolsmen, there are one hundt cd
and Gfy thousand HDe Whigs in the
State Of Ohio; they are plenty all over
the Union. When the occasion and
time sha come, they will wake up as to
the sound Of a trumpet. Their invoca
ton TO one another, like the bug'e notes
and songs of the cIansmen Of Vich Al
pine shall not ring in vain: but
"LeDnox and Levan's gIen," shall
Echo it back again."
and the Union again resound with shouts
Of victory.

Case OF DOWbIc Voting,

II has been rumofed for some days
that Mr.. James Cameron, the Treasurer
of this county, voted twice, at our last
Borough election, We did not suppose
itpossibIe that Mr.. Cameron, as violent
a Locoioco partisan as he is, could
have been guilty Of so foul and frnudu-
lent an outrage upon the right Of suf-
(rage. But, upon examination Of the
poll book Of the Borough election, held
in this place on the 18th Of April last,
we discover the name Of James Came
ron numbered as the fifth voter, and
James Cameron again as the ninety.
second voter. There was at that time
and is yet but tho one James Cameron
resident within the limits of the no.
rough. 1t cannot therefore be doubted
that he voted twice, at the same cleo
ton! What apology he will make to
the public for the Perpetralion Of so
base n fraud remains to be seen, Per.

now as it was before the late election,
when he connived at, and even circula

election turned on the County Seat

not be obtained. In these four counties
last years vote is given, except Athens,
where Corwin's majority only is given

highest vote given TO each party, and

the Mehodisls. That promise we then
intended to fulfil most faithfully. But,
