afford Of the signal triumph of our cause in

which prevails among our friends in two of the
States mentioned, and we can say it is of the
most heartfelt and spirit-s,irring Character
While among them, if we did not feel ourselves
actually carried back into the scenes of 40. we
had at least the moral assurance tbatthey are
coming. This was especially the casein BaI,i-

garded as certain as any event, within the control
Of man, which lies in the future.
We were particularly gratifed to discover the
solicitude which is felt by our friends abroad that

umph. And will she not do so Has she moi
seen enough of Locofoco misrule to break the
| spell OF party incarnation which ms been thrown
around her? And can she cast aside for ano,he,
one of her own most distinguished sons, whom
the whole world unites to honor. as the first Of

event OF the death of tho President, will ensure
such an administration of the Government as will

were agreed to without dissenting voice.

hardly have hoped to II was cheering, in

purpose and enthusiasm pervading our ranks,
while dissenson and fear are busy with our OPP
Ponens. We congratulate the Wings of New

omen of still better things. There was in it
something more than momentary impulse: there
was the united and determined feeling of the

and to redeem the State. They seemed to hear
