General Intelligence.

We copy the following article from the
Charleston Courier, for the words Of good
cheer which it holds out to the friends Of
good government, who have had so much,
in the events of the last few months, to
cause them to despond. Let every whig
listen to its inspiring tones, and remember
that however dark the horizon of our pros
poets is now, it was much worse four years
ago; and that however dark and gloomy it
may become, let the fiat of the people but
90 forth that there shall be light, and pros
perity and happiness will again shed their
brilliant radiance over the dark places of our
country. 1t is but too true, that mortified
and chagrined at the conduct Of our leader,
Achilles has not gone out with the people,
hut remained in his tent during the late
contest; but a new and wOrlhieF leader has
appeared at our head, the glory Of whose
cause will call eUery warrior to his standard,
and make US invlncble hereafter against the
Harrisburg Chronicle.
A CONGRATULATIONS WHICH
MAS HAPPENED AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
1t will be remembered, that, at the STATE
ELECTIONS which took place before the great
Wing Harrison Revolution, the Van Buren,
party carried almost every State (Kentucky,
N. York and Vermont excepted) from Maine
to Louisiana Morton, the locofocO aboli-
zionist, carried Massachusetts. Roman was
elected in Louisiana Polk in Tennessee

land Porter in Pennsylvania, &c. In.
diana, which had voted for Harrison, went
for the LOcOfocOS. Tennessee, which hac
voted for White, and given him majority
= Of twenty thousand, elected Polk. Georgia
which had voted for White, went for M'DO
}, maid. Maryland, which had voted for HGr
riSon by large majority, elected the presen
II LocOfocO Governor. Vermont even trem
bled in the balances Kentucky was shaken
New York was surrounded by the enemy
and the Van Buren, flood swelled so high a
d 10 leave scarcely an Ararat for the Ark o
y republican liberty to rest upon. The ey

IN But it was deceitful triumph-as deceitfl

Id now, like their victories then, are but tn

OF because "Achilles is in his tent" The
ty victories now are all Trojan triumphs. The

Their triumphs now are like those which II
English would gain if we went to war Wi
England. 1t is admitted that the Engli:
would beat us at frst-but their short live
triumph would only serve to put the count
