WHIGSi BE OF GOOD CHEER

WHIGS! BE OF GOOD CHEER!
: The object of this Communication. Mr. Editor
/. is 10 say one word through your columns to th
defeated, but unsubdued, and unbrolen ranks @
the Whig Party. The result ofth Presidentia
contest from which we have just emerged ba
4 disappointed not only the expectations of tn
f whole Whig host, but of all the best, and mos
candid calculators of the Locofoco Party itself
Conscious that they had presented to the people
of the United States for their Suffrages gentle
man, far inferior; in talents, in personal merits
| in public services, and in every Statesmanlike
accomplishm ent, TO the world-renowned Candi
date Of the Whis party, they could have no ra-
tional hope of success. But urged on by false
and Pernicious pride Of opinion, and banded to-
gether alone by the cohesive power of public
plunder, they shut their eyes gritted their teeth
and determined to go Mr. Polk blind Sill with
all their perfect organizatioa-wih their hmm
bugs Tor the North, and their cIaptraps for the
South-there was yeta very large majority of
the Sol-dlSant Democracy which looked forward
TO almost certain defeat They kne W not how
ever what the wire-workers at Washington
Bob Walker &Co--and The secret dirty work
5 throughout the Union, had in store for them.
as sort OF corps de reSerUe to be brought out on
iy at the last day of the battle That corps of re-
serve, was made of nothing more nor less, than
the most sTUPENDoUs FrAUDs at the polls, and coa
htaOnS cith the eastern and acestern ho3s OF 8bo
t'fto@, all led on by the most uuprincipled dema-
So8ulSm that ever blackened the political annals
OF any age, or Country. Coalitions with Dorr-
ism IN New England. with Mormonism in the |
west, with Reputation, and Nullifca ton at
the South, and with RomaniSm throue hout the /
U onIon, had already taken place complete. |

wards The eleventh hour OF the contest on tbe
iay OF election the whole motley mass was let
ooSe on the polls in one sweeping avalanche of
Iaud, and corruption; nd the result has over
Vhelmed with astonishmcnt even those who mt
in motion.
IakIng this, the only true view of the late
ucceSseS OF Locofccoism, and OF the present 70 :
iChS OF parties, every true Whig heart shouh
inspired with new courage; and should be ar
mated with renewed faith in the ultimate mil
snnIum of the Whig policy. So surely as the
eaiiy honest, and patriotic members OF the Dem
cratic Party, when their eyes are opered to The
lemSelveS with the reckless demagoouism that
