1ond ONCE in their gift, there
5 have besn one drop of comfort,
which is probably more consolation than
has been vouchsafcd to their candidate for
the Presidency. Mr.. Frclinghuysen has
had the pleasure Of playing Vice Presi-
dent for ossd day. The wings Of New York
city were 60 much elated on the day af-
ter the election with the complexion Of
the returns, that they felt sanguine Of hav-
ing carried the State; and supposing, cor
rectly, that the general result would be
determined by the vote Of New York, a
large number Of them proceeded to the
house of Mr.. Frelinghuysen to congratu-
late him on his election. The result Of
the story is told BY the Evening Post as
follows:
"Mr. Frelinghuysen appeared, and in a
neat speech thanked his friends for this
mark of their respect. He regarded the
question between the parties AZ decided
in favor Of the wings BY the vote Of New
York, and congratulated them on the GER
tainty Of glorious triumph throughout
the confederated republic. He should en-
|deavor, he assured them, to perform with
fidelity and to the best Of his ability. The
duties which the happy issue Of our .lsction
had cast upon him. The multitude re-
ceived his speech with acclamations, and
continued for long time in the streets.
making night hideous with their bolster
Gus rejoicings."
Poor Mr.. Frelinghuysen! .The duties
which the happy issue Of the election has
cast upon him." are light, and will not in
terfere with those appertaining to his Pro-
fessorship. We fear he was never born
to be Vice President Of the United States.
Tie democrats Of Philladephia, where
Mr.. Dallas resides, have had their reioic-
ings, but it was over real and not an i'm.
asinary triumph. The American Senti-
mel describes the procession in the follow
ing language:
I LARGE PROCESSION OF THE
DEMOCRACY.
"On Saturday evening, the unterrified
democracy of the Northern Liberties turn
ed out, in all their might and strength, 10
congratulate the Vice President elect on
the glorious victory achieved in the EN-
pire State over the combined forces Of
whigism and all the other isns which
abound in that great commonwealth. AS
this great body Of democrats moved along
the streets, with their Illuminated lanterns
and banners, enlivened by the strains Of
soul-stirring bands Of music, they were
joined by hundreds and hundreds-ay.
thousands-of their brother patriots from
the city and country, until it seemed as if
the whole population had responded to
some previous and well-notified advertise
ment. Ever and anon, the air was rent
with the enthusiastic shouts Of the vast
multitude, and NE whole scene was one of
the most cheering and animating charac-
ter.
Upon arriving in front Of Mr.. Dallas
house, nine deafening cheers were given
for Polk, Dallas, and the constitution; af-
ter which Mr.. D. appeared, and made one
OF the most happy and appropriate ad-
dresses that we ever listened to. He
spoke feelingly Of the great cause Of hu-
lnanity, the equal rights Of man, and the
spread Of those principles Of freedom
which were to ultimate, finally, in the
destruction Of tyranny, and the disenthral-
ment Of man throughout the world. Mr..
Dallas observed, that in contemplating the
great mass which was before him, it was
evident that he wanted more elbow room, t
and for that purpose, Texas and Oregon
were ready at hand to accommodate the |
swelling and onward rustling tide Of dem
ocracy! Here the cheering was tre-
Texas and Oregon were the
watch-words, and for some minutes these
words were uttered in tones Of thunder. /
We have not space to give Mr.. Dallas
speech: suffice it to say it was one Of his
felicitious efforts, and was received
throughout with frequent bursts Of enthu-
siasm. Between 9th and 10th streets
there was one solid mass Of human beings;
the pave, the steps, and every place in The |
was crowded.
