THE LATE ELECTIONS-THE PRINCIPLES
7 OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The results of the elections this fall, now pretty
well known, establish most coDclusively the ne
cessisy Of union among all the different branches
Of the old Republican family. Wherever the
childrea Of our ancient mother nave acted in con-
cert, and with fraternal feelings, victory has
crowned their efforts wherever there have
been unnatural disputes and Cain-like jealousies,
defeat has followed as an inevitable consequence.
Many colonies of the old Republican hive Of
Virginia, since '98, have sought new lands,
AID founded new political establishments; and,
maiptxining unconisminated the only true
Faith, they have grown great and increased in
riches ~ in population. In their migra'ions
they have carried with them the Lares, and all
the tutelary dei.ies of their former homes And
a. long o. they remain faithful TO the creed Of
their fathers, and continue TO reverence the Ma
zareth, whence their political religion early
arose, 90 long will they be prosperous, SO long
will they deserve TO be happy. But unkind
feelings towards each other-should they ex-
ist--aliepation aud di.trust will, most assured
~, a. Of right they ought, dissipate the growing
elements Of their greatness, distract their coun-
ellis, aud paniyze their exertions; and the wor'
shippers Of false Gods, forgetful Of the ancient
landmarks of their fathers, will be condemned
10 wander for years in the wilderness, with no
Land Of Promise before their eyes TO cheer,
with the gliding rays of hope, the black desola-
ton around them.
Ohio aud Pennsylvania, the mighty sons OF
fertile mother. have not forgotten the principles
of their weaker days; but grown to vigorous
manhood, s.il adhere with fidelity to the articles
of the creed they imbibed in their early nurture.
They wax fat, but do not kick-and SO, 100,
with MARYLAND and Georgia: the four maintain,
like one, their allegiance to the ancient stand
ard of Democracy. Still the old Republican
banner floats over the glories of their fertile
wales and their vendure-covered hills
Would that the SEINE harmonious feeling and
kindred spirit had prevailed among all the chill
dren of Democracy; so that wherever her
standard wa, raised victory might alight upon
its summit. But her Eagle visits not encamp-
menis where dissension RACES, and hesitaes TO
accompany armies amid the cang Of dscor-
dant arms.
FIVE refer to the elections of the four above
mentioned States as prognostic of the future
happy results that must attend union of
councils and of interest, we can, at the same
time, point to New Jersey as equally indicative
of the inevitable consequences OF discussions
and angry collisions. In the first, no attempt
was made to exclude from the Democratic
Church any professors OF the faith; in the lat
ter, the High Priests themselves, the Presby-
tiers and Deacons were accommodated and
those who had hardly served their noviciates,
assumed the post ofcensors and of reverend ad-
visers. If ignorance is sometimes bliss, impu-
dence is IS often wisdom; so the signers Of the
address of the Democratic State Convention of
New Jersey must be both happy and wise
They have made assertions without proof and
without probability, and have published opinions
equally impolitic and groundless.
In regard to the successful negotiatons-s
cessful so far-with Great Britain, they have
made two statements as unjust to the Demo-
cratic party as to the President; equally so to
both-since both the President and the Demo-
Gratis are alike implicated in stating that the late
treaty was matured and confirmed by the influ-
ence and power of the Wings" and that by
its ratification has been surrendered large por-
ton of our national territory, and of our nation
al honor. Both charges we pronounce unfair
and impolitic unfair, because more than two
thirds of the Democratic Senators united with
the President in advocating its provisions none
with more ardor and more ability than dis,in-
guished Senator from the South, ,chom,, ii may
be, the members of the :" Democratic State
Convention Of New Jersey" rejoiced inii-
rectIy, 10 censure: uLfair, too, because the De-
mocratic Commissioners, equally with those of
the other party, recommended its adoption i'm
polite, ihasmuch as such improper language may
have the tendency to promote unpleasant divis-
ions among the Democrats, at time, too, when
they would be fatally disastrous !; impolitc also,
for the Treaty may hereafter become popular,
and then the Republican Senators who voted
for it, would wish and deserve their equal share
of praise.
The Senators of the United States, sound
Republicans, will learn with much anguish that
"George Cassidy" accuses them of having
surrendered large portion of our national hon
or; and, not making allowance for his superior
intelligence and superior integrity, they may, al
first be somewhat enrage1 at what, without
such allowances, must appear consummale i'm
pudence.
In speaking of those specimens of Whiggism
who have been most coarsely abusive of the
President. this address says: according to
