DO NIT BE DISCOURAGED.

The Wings have seen darker days than the present, and they have only to look back a few years to call them to remembrance- Who that remembers our gloomy prospects in '36 and 'S9, and our brilliant triumph in l64O, will now despair! It does not appear from the results of the late elections that the Locos have gained any voters from the Whig ranks. but that they have even boiled less vote than at the presidential election; we may therefore conclude that the Whigs have about as much strength as ever. and that all that is necessary to ensure their success is to bring it out. It is not to be wondered at that the peculiar situation of affairs at Wash. ington for the last twelve months, should ere. ate apathy and dissatisfaction in our ranks, but we think there can be no question that the Whigs will rally in l644 in sufficient force to carry their candidate for the Presi. dency.
 To make good our assertion that the Whigs have seen darker days than the present, ] we will refer to the sta tes wher we were defeated in 'S6 '39, and successful in l64O.- In Maine, in 1889, the Loco candidate for Governor was elected by majority of 6,SS0 at the presidential election, Harrison's ma. jority was All. In Massachusetts, ia 1889, Morton was elected Governor by a majority of one vote-at the presidential election liar. rison's 8 majority was 2O.ySO. In New Jersey, in 1888. the vote on the Congressional ticket was about tie, the Van Buren Congress, however, decided that the Loco Foco candi- dates had a majority-at the presidential election Harrisons majority was 2,3l7. In Pennsylvania, in 1888, the Loco candidate for Governor was chosen by a majority of 7,526-at the presidential election Harrison's majority was S49. In Maryland, in 1888, a Loco Foco Governor was chosen by a maio- rity Sll and in 1889. the Van Buren maio- rity on the Congressional ticket was ll75- while at ths presidential election Harrison's majority was S,564. In Georgia, in 1889, a Loc0-Foco Governor was elected by a maio- rity of lS27-at the presidential election Harrison's majority was 6,SSl. In Ohio, in 1858. Vance Loco FOco) was chosen Cover. [ nor by majority of 5. 746-at the presidea- tial election, Harrison's majority was 2S,S75. In Tennessee. in 1889. the Loco majority for Governor was 2, 2,556-al the presidential elec- tioR Harrison's majority vas l2,lO2. India. m was against us in 1889, the Whigs electing but two Ofthe seven members of Congress at the presidential election Harrison's majO- rity was 23.606. Michigan. in 1888. gave a Loco majority of III - at the presidential election HaFrisOn's majority was l.SO2. To Delaware, in 1888. a Loco FOco was elected to Congress by 62 majoFity-at the Presiden. lial election HaTris0V's majority was lO10- In Mississippi. in leS0, Loco. FOc0 Cover. nor was 'chcesn by AllS msjoFisy-st the
Litchfield enquirer., 1842-12-08

presidential election, Harrison's majority was 2,5S3.
 It will be seen by the above that of the l9 states carried by the Wings in le4O, l2 of them went for the LOcos either in 'SS, or 'S0. Have the Wings any reason to despond now, when in the face of all the defeats during the two years immediately preceding the pre- sideniial election in 1640, they then gained such a complete victory! Certainly not Let them organize at once in every state m the Union, and prepare to come out in thelr strength, and another great victory will crown their efforts in l644.-H0Tt. COUr0nt.

We have selected one from each of the great political parties of the day, belieuing that if sCe c0n Enite the crazy ones of bolt par ties. ,Oe shsn most eersGiny elect our candidates.
 We are aware of the mighty influence our paper is destined to exert upon this great question, as it has now . tremendous subscription list, and we already receive more than seventy different newspapers and other publications in exchange. The pub lie may, however, rest assured that we shall exercise that influence conscientiously, and, if we succeed, as we think we shall, no one need fear but that we shall be at least as we'll governed as for the last several years.
 If we are permitted. we may, on some flu. ture occasion, more fully define our position, and urge the claims of our candidates.
 FATHER MLLER.-From what we hear, we presume Father Miller does not make very strong impression in this city. New Haven is the place for sitting all sorts of things, and Father Miller has been put to some severe tests, and it Is said has been several times " "completely cornered." In the Theological Chamber of the College. we learn that he had . discussion with the theological students, in the presence of the Rev. Dr. Taylor, who refused to take any part tn it, pFeferring to let "the boys" try their hand. and 1t is said they were quite troublesome to the old gen. tleman. His friends. however. maintain that he "gives as good as is sent" and say that he sticks to the bible throughout his arKu. msut.-Nss HsvvR Pallsdiuas.
