Besides this gain in the popular vote, we have
gained the Legislature of Indiana, and the Governor
and Legislative Assembly of Maine. In addition to
these, we learn that in Mary land, the late elections
show strong Democratic gain In Pennsy lvania,
we feel confident of gain, of from 10000 to 49,
0c0, and small gain in Ohio. The best judges
concede New York also, by handsome majority.
If New York shall throw herself into the ranks Of
the Democracy, we shall then have gained four
States casting 81 electoral votes, placing the whig
party in the minority, even before it has been in pow
er one year. Nor is this aIl-Iowa, Wisconsin, and
Florida that may seek and gain admitancc into the
Union before the next Presidential election, have
rolled themselves under the Democratic banner
Cheer up, then Democrats, the days of Whiggery
are numbered.

The Settlers upon the Public Lands.

The Federal party have ever shown most
marked hatred towards the settlers upon the
public lands. The reason is very obvious, and
is found IN their nnwavering adherence to the
cause of Democracy. Federalism has hereto
fore been kept in the check, but having now
attained temporary ascendency, has poured
out its wrath upon the Western settler. by yir-
tually excluding them from obtaining pre-emp-
tions. That party, headed by Mr.. Clay, have
imposed restrictions in the Distribution Bill.
which will cut Of nine-tenths of the Western
people, who have settled on the public domain.
from obtaining their improvem ants and homes.
and which have been constructed by the labor
of their own hands. A more unjust and in
iquitous transaction was never perpetrated. and
10 accomplish which, the Federalists had to re-
verse the uniform and humane policy Of the
Government, which had been pursued for thir-
ty years.
While the bill was pending ia the Senate,
the Democratic members made every possible
effort TO strike out the restrictions upon pre-
emptions, but were uniformity voted down nv
strict party vote.
The folioWlngls an extract of the speech Of
Mr.. McRoBERrs of Illinois, showing the ex-
tent, and fraudulent character ofthe restrictions
upon the presumption right. Ii is an able ex-
position OF the subject, and contains lust and

Western settlers.-Globe.

~ The Board of County Commissioners for this
county, have ordered that special election be held
in all the precincts in the county, Saturday, 3Oh
day of the present month"; for the election Of Judge
of Probate and for the election of Justice Of the
Peace in Bloomington Precinct to fill a vacancy in
these offices occasioned by the resignation Of Henry
Reece, Esq.

sioners precluding the idea of holding Democratic
County Meeting, at which all country friends
could be present, tor the nomination of Democratic
candidate for Judge Of Probate, number of our De-
mocratc friends in view of this fact solicited THEo
DoRE S. PAnvIN, Esq. to become candidate for the
offices, to which he has consented. While we have
to regret that all the friends of our principles cannot
meet together and hold general conference for the
nomination Of candidate, we are of opinion that no
exceptions can be taken by any of friends to the
gentleman named, and we have no doubt that could
meeting be held, his nomination would prove as
acceptable any other that could be made. He is

fortune has rendered him incapable Of seeking sup
port in the various ways accessible to most Of u.s. and
on this account, where qualifications and merits are
equal he should be considered entitled to the prefer
ence. But we wish not to urge HIM upon the De-
mocracy of the county against their WILL We are
strongly in favor of submitting nominations for such
offices to majority of our friends, but in this case
(it also being busy times with our farmers) we don't
think it advisable to ask their attendance Il our
friends generally are dissatisfied with the selection OF
those who have spoken to Mr. Parvin, we hope they
will lose no time in making it known, that we can
have general understanding. Mr.. Parvin would be
the last man to force himself upon the party against
its WILL and if our friends cannot give him cordial
support, be is ready, all times, to withdraw and
give his support to such men as majority OF our
friends may prefer.
We hope our Democratic friends will neither for
get the day. nor on that day forget their duty, but
turn out to man. and cast their ballots for the De-
mocratic candidate. We must not forget small mat.

of the Senate. Give to each one ofthem. when

CTIt would be little curious, if after the wings
President for his vetoes upon the Bank bills and the
Locos have almost split their sides in laughing al
them in their agony, something should not occur to
them, for time at least to hold upther heads,
as though there yet something to be hoped for.
Now that the extra session of Congress has adjourn
ed, and it is some six weeks until it again assemblies
the following prop to their dropping spirits is well
timed.-We find it in the last Sangamo Journal the
leading Wing paper in Illinois:
"Ihe New York Courier and Enquirer saws ::
Mr.. Tyler are informed declares that he will sa.
tisy the country by his acts that he is thoroughly
Wing; and that SO far from Loco F ocos being APP
pointed to office, all those now in place will be short
ly ousted.'"
Surely our Wing friends have either forgot the
bitterness with which they denounced both Gen.
Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren,, on the charge Of APP
pointing their friends to Office, they care but little
for their reputation for consistency. After all that
has been said against the late administrations for
making appointments chiefly from among their own
friends, we find leading Wing papers mentioning,
with an air of triumph that the President has deter
mined to show himself to be true ,ch;g, not only
by refusing to appoint Democrats to office, but by
| removing the few remaining ones. Is this the way
| to show himself thorough Whig!" If so, what
were the party who lately cried so loud against such
| a principle! If such Inconsistency wont make the
Wings blush, it is useless to try to put them to it.
| Immediately preceding the above quotation, we
| find the following in the same paper.
| "The Philadelphia North American says "A let
ter from gentleman of some political consideration
at Washington, received last evening, has this sen.
tehce In 1t: Mr. Webster says we are yet to have a
| good BANK OF DISCOUNT AND DEposIrE,' &C. &c
