land for the pay oi officers never before
Known to the laws. And to cap the eli
4 imox of all economy, the departed shade
Of Charley Oge had to be insulted by an
appropriation Of six thousand dollars
for additional furniture at the White
House, and all this in addition to the gold
spoons.'
These things have not passed unob-
served by the people. And to the rellec.
ing and honest mind, what picture does
it all present? Ali their promises broken
--all their professions violated! The
country millions more in debt-the times
harder-money scarcer--wagcs lower
produce lower and still fallng-and the
whig leaders all at loggerheads-wha, is
there to bind the pcopic to such party
or rather what is there 10 keep them from
rising ur, as they have done, in rebellion
against tlem9
We regard the recent expressions Of
the popular voice as the natural fulfill
ment Of that power which is ever the
salvation Of the countryside "soberlse-
cond thought Of the people, which is sell
dom wrong and always efficient" Our
countrymen were deluled. They have
come to their senses. They were de-
ceived. They have detected the decep-
tion and righted themselves. Did ever
effect more naturally follow cause?
| But mad there been even single prin.
ciple avowed. and that one principle had
been contended for by the whole whig
party, we doubt much whether the power
Of prejudice for that single principle
would have yielded SO reality and so gen.
orally, even in the face Of all these (ai
lures and broken promises. Hence, then
there was never, probably, more pow
erfu cxemp.ifcstion Of the necessity o
principle.
The moral therefore, which the whig.
may draw from ihe late election results i
this--,hat as honesty is the best policy, 81
is principle essential to permanent success
land that the popular voice, being omni
/ potent and guided by reflection, is not t
, be wantonly triaed with, il the trfler
wish to live even coon's age.
