The Bee Of last Wednesday holds the fol
lowing language as to the result Of the cleo
tons. Though a little disappointed at the re-
suit in Louisiana, the other states have boldly
told us that while there is life, there is hope,
while the people are intelligent enough to
know their rights and to dare maintain them,
the equilibrium of justice willGnd itself on the
side Of popular rights and republican princi-
ples:- sa
We are of those w'1ein The darkest hour

hat when the p%eralyzing influence of
treachery bad done its worst, the people
would awake from their inglorious apathy.
We had seen in the result of every contest
which, from the death of HARRISON 10 the
present time, had eyentuated in the suc.
cess of lscofocoism, that our party had
been discorafitted, not by the augmented
numbers of their antagonists, bnt by their
own utter want Of exertIon; and it was ey,

before next spring, but the burning zeal of
the glorious wings of Tennessee impelled
them tr the splendid victory Of last August,
while the effect oftiat mofnentous achieve
ment has developed itself in the recent
struggles in Georgia and Maryland. In
these three States, the result has de-
monstrated one important truth: that when
ever the wing party poll their full vote,
they outnumber their adversaries. 1t has
been well remarked, that in 1914 the wing
votes will be more numerous than ever
and hence the triumph of HENRY CLAY is
indubitable. The Iocofocos always poll
their strength, but the wings possess a
corps de reserve throughout the Union,
consisting of some hundred thousand votes,
which arenever used save during the brunt
of some aiIimportant struggle. They en-
ployed them with terrific power in 1910,
and will doabtIess use theta with equally
force in 1914.
There Is every thing TO encourage the
wings in the late elections. The reaction
has already begun. Already have the
wings recovered from the temporary stupor
into which treaehery had thrown them.
They have exhibited their conquering mum
