The Democratic Whig. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1842-1843, 1843-06-01
From the Tribune.


So far as we can co lect the public senti-
ment Of the " hig parity there is no iuten ion
to contest 6ercely the Elections in the appa-
rently adverse States this Fall. In many oil
the decidedly Wing States, and those wherein
u. s Senators are soon 90 be chosen, man.
" effort will be made-for instance, in 1enne-
see, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, while
Vermont, Louisiana, North Carolina. Keniuc-
ky, viii probably do well without efIor and
some other States promise a fair result-a-
mong them Ohio. Illinois, and Mississippi.
| Butin large number Of Siates-Maiue, New
York, Pennnsyl, ANA, DC. &c the result Of
the Election OF 1913 will afford no criterion
from which to Judge Of thai OF 1874. The
| Wings know then strength, and they know It
| is silently and steadily increasing. They know
that the public Impotence with and detesta-
ton Of Tylerism is fomenting daily, and is ex-
tending TO the allies with which treachery has
Of late consorted; they know that every month
Of inaction adds to the number Of thise who
perceive that there must be action, and that
ofthe right kind, If the country is to be restor-
ed to that signal prosperity from which it was
| precipitated by the dsspote measures Of 1889
and the five following years. Even in distant
Missouri and Arkansas, there is a quiet think.
| ing IN progress which will yet manifest itself
in decided and suspicious change Of public
sentiment If suffered to G. on undisturbed. Col.
r. NJ Johnson could readily secure the votes
Of those States; but an Easte man who &c 6
them from Western one must bid high,
There viii be palpabe Indications even this
year, Of the reviving energies and h0pss Of the
People. Wherever there shall be offered a
clear opportunity TO strike a decided blow for

cry and destruction there a blow viii be struck.
But every one conversant with the course Of
our Politics understands that there are States
where a determined and probably victorious
| effort viii Be made BY the Whiaa in'ad which
viii scarcely exhibit sign Of vitality in as.
To make a desperate struggle, and gain by it
i successful only one branch Of Legislature
mourning responsibility, yet acquiring no
power-is just such an enterprise az the Whiq
party is least fitted for. We wish all to under
stand therefore, that we shall not regard the
Elections Of 49, let them result as they may
as decisive or strongly Indicative Of the grand
result in "A In 80, with faF more urgent in.
ducemenis to put forth their strength, the
Wings scarcely made show Of fight in Maine
or Pennsylvania, lost Massachusetts,, Connect.
cut Maryland, Ohlo Indiana. Tennesee, and
Mississippi, aud were beaten largely on the
popular vote IN New-Jersey. The next year
they carried al these Subsequently, by
overwhelming najorities. Liae causes Wi
again produce ike results.
But while we presume that the current
year will not generally be one Of strong ex
element aud Of desperate parry struggle, w
believe that il is now that the impressions vii
be silently made which will be manifested II
The results Of the next years contest. Nov
is the time when information, judciously I'M
parted, universally disseminated, win sink deel
into the public mind. Now is the time to cal
the public attention to the conflicting MEAsUR
Is Of the rival parties--the contrasted mean
by which they seek to promote the public good
! Now is the time to scout from the CouniF.
f the shameful falsehood that the Wings strug

and not for measures calculated to promote th
good ofthe whole People. Only Jet this be 70
