TIE GEORGIA VICTORY

We have uniegned satisfaction i'm announcinS
TO our readers that the Wing victory i'm Georgia
Is complete. IN every respect. GEORGE w Craw-
ford, late Wing Representative in Congress. is
elected Governor Of the State over Mark A. Coon
or, who was also Representative in the late
Congress; Messrs. Stephens and Chappell, both
Wings. elected TO fill the existing vacancies
in the State delegation TO the next Congress; and
there will be decisive Wing maoritics i'm both
branches of the State Legislature.
On comparing the votes given for Governor
last week in seventy-ihree counties with those
find that the popular vote exhibits a w hig gain i'm
all the counties but 6fteen-,he total gains on the
Wing side being 6,lSs, whilst those of their op-
ponents are but BIG; leaving nett Wing gain Of
3,S72. This, even withou, the further changes
which may DC reasonably expected in the twenty
counties yet to be heard from, is upwards of sin
teen hundred votes more than enough TO overcome
the majority given to the present Locofoco Cover
nor at the last gubernatorial election.
So great has been the change already affected
in the political complexion of the State Legisl;,-
ture that, from LocofOco majority of about forty
at the last session, it is confidently anticipated by
our friends in Georgi that at the ensuing session
the Wings will have majority Of from forty to
fifty.
The event. signal as it seems, shall be our only
note OF eXu!tation over discounted adverse
res. The Wings, we doubt not, will maintain
their present ascendaDcy by wise and moderate
counseis. Such can scarcely fail to confirm their
present superiority, and the abuse Of that supe-
rioriy TO forfeit them State which is clearly
Wing in all its ailections.-Nat. Int.

MIR. TYLER AND THE DEMOCRATS.

Most OF the Democratic Organs have thrown
off their reserve, and repudiate and ridicule the
idea that Mr.. Tyler stands any chance for no.
minaton at the hand of The Democratic National
Convention in May. The Democratic Review,
the poitico-iiterary reflector of Democratic doc
trines and preferences, has the following, which
we offer as part of the political signs of the
times. 1t is from writer who compares the
claims and qualifications of the several Democra-
tic competitors:
ga noisy but Intellectual attempt is made to in
troduce into the stable very sorry hack which
came indeed out of good blood, though degene-
rate scion, whom even the most favorable early
breeding could make nothing of. 1t is, however,
perfectly understood that he only seeks a shelter
from the common which he has been turned
out, because would now either mount or
harbor an animal at once feeble and so vicious
Hopelessly spawned and weak in the knees, be-
sides being blind as not TO be able TO see an
impossible stone wall just before his own eyes,
he is also evidently so thoroughly diseased that
he could only breed mischief and introduce per-
haps dangerous contagon into the stable. He
cannot be let in and it is only pity, for his own
sake that some friend does not put him out of his

Col. r. VI. JOHNSON was at New Haven last
week. where he was received with hospitabie at
ienlons On his arrival he was escorted to the En-
change Saloon, where large number Of citizens
had assembled. lie was introduced to the meet
ing by one OF the citizens, and made an address,
which is thus noticed in the Palladium
The Colonel observed that he had ben long
time In public li!e-had grown grey in the public
service, and he thought he needed rest, and he
continued, with comical eer of his eve SHE
people were OF the same opinion i'm 1910, when
Mr. Van Buren, and myself retired with their con-
sent =. This brought forth loud shout when
the colonel remarked-"WeIl, j always thought
they would be sorry for that, and if they ever
should be, and should wan; me to serve them a
gain In any capacity, why, | have got rested now,
and shan't refuse them--but if they don't shant
quarrel, because there are some bigger men in the
country than Richard NJ. Johnson.' The Colonel
continued In this strain until about half past ele-
ven, when he sat down. Some complimentary
resolutions were then introduced and passed.
The New ii aven Herald, in its notice of the
speech, says
The Colonel concluded his speech three or four
umes, but catching new impulses continually
from his "reminiscences of our Indian wars, and
linaIly OF the battle of the Thames, the venerable

One Of our exchanges very properly ridiculed,
lew days since, the frequent use Of the tile
men. 1t is said that Henry Clay. Daniel Web
ster, John G. Calhoun, &c. were too great to be
Esqmred. This is true; it is ridiculous enough
TO Esquire any of them. Bot while they are too
elevated TO be Esquired, one half of those who
are thus entitled, are too low Tor it except in the
spirit mat Sancho was bonored with the title.
Better give it up altogether aud like France.
(who is more Republican than we are in this res
pect,) give plain title of recognition for all, to
all decent people. When wo see certain ndivi-
