SANDs's SARsAPARILLA.-Ths is a utilitarian age,
We look for the practical and useful and if not quite
so matter of fact as Malherbe, who when he heard
certain work praised asked f it would reduce the
price OF bread,' we certainly direct our attention
more to the mitigation of actual evils than to the in
vestigation of metaphysical distractions. This is
common sense and true philanthropy. The physical
evil, disease, is the most important of all temporal
subjects of inquiry, and to discover its remedy the
most useful triumph Of human science That triumph
has been achieved TO great extent in the compost.

Wing strength in Princeton and yet after all
these base attempts 10 acquire power by unjust
and unequal legislation, they are routed horse
foot and drGgoons. In both Princeton and Tren-
ton, those hattie grounds of the Revolution. the
Wings have gloriously triumphed by largely in
creased majorities.
In Princeton, notwithstanding the disfranchise-
ment OF many Wing votes, the vote equalled the
largest ever polled, and the Wings have carried
their whole ticket, Judges of Election and all,
by between 20 and 80 majority, which is hand
some increase over last year.
The young Wings have done up the work in
1ne style, and deserve great credit.
In Trenton the Wings carried EVERY Ward in
the city, and the whole Council by the unprece-
denied large majority of about ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTEEN, which is the largest Wing majo-
rity ever given. Last fall it was less than TEN
Wing majority--a clear Wing gain of 1866
Glory enough for one day.
In EliZabethtown, the clean thing was, as
usual, done for the Wing ticket Notwithstanding
split upon the collector and the running of
Tyler ticket, which received, all told, votes!
In Railway, where, at the special instance Of
Loco ocoisrn, the old law requiring that the
vote at the town meeting should be by ballot,
was repealed by the late infamous Legislature
the Wings on assembling moved, as under the
general law of the State, which leaves 1t OPP
ional with the electors to vote by ballot or riua
voce, they had right to do, a vote by ballot
and it was carried or 4 to /.
The whole Wing ticket was then elected by
ITO majority, against 80 last year.
In Orange majority Of Wing officers are
chosen. In Livingston, all Wing but one sur
veyor. In New Providence the Wings prevailed
by 16 majority. Springfield, Bellevile, and
Bloomfield, stand fast to the faith. North Ber-
gen, Hudson county, has gone Whig-a grea,
triumph over Locofocoism. In Morristown, con-
trary TO all expectation, the Wing have carried
their ticket by an average majority Of 60 Cha
than gives As Wing majority. In short, every
thing appears to be going Wing in New Jersey
Such, we hope and believe, will be the result
in every instance, where the late Gerrymander-
ing Legislature, under pretence Of advancing
popular rights, have set them at defiance.
In Woodbridge, Mddlesex county, the Loco
foco ticket prevailed by about the usual majority
of from 80 to 40.

THE WING CONVENTIONS.

For the purpose of correcting misapprehen-
sion, which we find still exists to some extent, as
tional Conventions, we would suggest to Wing
editors throughout the country, to publish the
following:
The Wing National Convention for the nomi-
nation Of candidates for President and Vice Pre-
sident of the United States will meet in Balt-
more on WEDNESDAY, THE FIRST OF MAY.
The Young Mems Wing National Convention
of Ratification Ito which every Wing in the
Union, whether specially delegated or not, is in
vted, and for whose accommodation ample pro-
vision will be made by the Wings Of Baltimore,)
will meet in Baltimore on THURSDAY, THE Sc
coND OF MAY-BaH. Pat.

NEW oRLEANs-THE GLOBE MAN.

g The Globe man exuts most mmoderately al
the victory gained by the Locofocos in electing
their mayor in New Orleans, and blows his trum-
pet through several columns. If the election OF
mayor of New Orleans requires three columns Of
glorifcation what on earth would the Globe man
do for room had he as many triumphs to record as
the Wings have had ever since the election in
Maryland? If as windy and wordy in his exul-
tation over them as he is over the small affair in
New Orleans, the great Globe itself" would
not contain thousandth part of his 80 trium-
Plies" Perhaps, however, the Globe mans wind
is like very little air in bladder, so rarfed as
to occupy the same space as would thousand
times the quantity. We may compare him to a
hen with one chicken-clucking just as loud as
if she had dozen.
But how was this Locofoco victory won is New
Orleans By the votes of those who received
illegal and fraudulent naturalization papers, for
the granting of which Judge Elliott has been i'm
peached by the House of Representatives of the
State of Louisiana, and is on trial before the
Senate Of that State, sitting az high court of
impeachment.
jority Of 204 votes over the Wing candidate; but
of the votes given there were probably not less
than five or six hundred, perhaps thousand Me-
gal votes, every of which was cast for the
Locofoco candidate. Such was the means by
which the Globe mans little victory, over which
he blows such tremendous blast of triumph, was
won.
But has the Globe man heard from Connect-
cut? from the thirteenth district of Pennsylva-
mia! from New York from the towns all along
North river, and in the interior OF the Empire
State! If SO, why does he not blow his trumpet,
and sing peans of victory! Are there no victo-
ries in that quarter! Has his very particular
friend Snyder been defeated! Has Coddington
been defeated? Has ST. Tammany and his mot
tied hosts of all tongues and nations and colors
been routed! How is it in the Empire State
and the great Babel city. Mr.. Globe man! Have
you no room in the great Globe ITSELF to give
us an account of these things?

COLD COFFEE.

The Locofoco meeting held last night was got
up, we understand, for the purpose of celebrating
a Locofoco uictory in New York city but as the
news which we publish this morning may have
changed the original intention Of the party, we
hope they enjoyed themselves with the consola-
tion that they will do better next time" The
purpose of holding Locofoco meeting immedi-
ately after the receipt Of the news from Connec-
tcut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New York
city and towns, New Jersey, and Maine, is, we
suppose, to aceep together over the broken wand
of the Magician. We hope some of them will
attend our meeting tonight, and hear the shouts
and the songs in honor Of Henry Clay and the
glorious Wing victories; it will revive their
dropping spirits. Listen:
"We spread our banners to the sky,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah;
Our motto-Clay and liberty!
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah."

THE BIRTHDAY OF HENRY CLAY
THE MEETING TONIGHT.

The 18th of April (this day. is the anniversary
of the birth Of the patriot and statesman, HENRY
CLAY, and the Wings of Washington duly i'm
pressed with gratitude and affection for him, as
well as strong and ardent attachment to the po-
litical principles which he has SO ably and conss-
tently advocated and maintained, during long
and honorable service in the councils Of his coun-
try, have determined to hold meeting this euen-
ing at the Assembly Rooms, cd story,) in honor
of the event, to which they invite all who may
desire to participate. The Wings of Georgetown,
Alexandra, and of the neighborhood, as well as
the ladies, are invited to be present. and for the
special accommodation Of the latter ample ar
rangements have keen made. Addresses will be
delivered by eloquent Whigs-one of the mum.

PADDY's ExPEDIENT FOR REDUCING HoLE-
An Irish weaver just imported from the sister
isle, took to his employer in Kilmarnock, the
other day, the first cloth he had woven since his
arrival. His employer detected in the cloth two
holes, within half an inch of each other, and told
him he must pay fine Of shilling for a hole
And PLACE ye," returned Pat, is il by the num-
Der Of holes or by the size of them, that you put
the fine on us ''By the number of holes, TO be
sure" "And big hole and small one is the
same price :" Yes, shilling for each hole,
big or little" "Then give me hould of the
piece" replied Paddy and getting the cloth in.
to his hand, he tore the two small holes into one,
and exclaimed, BY the hill of Howth, and that
saves me shilling, anyhowp'

MAINE-SEvENTH DISTRICT.

BY the latest returns received just before we
got to press, including considerable part of
Aroostook county, CARY's majority is, according
to the Bangor Wing, one hundred and t,oenty,
but by our casting Of the returns we make it
but eighty!
This result is most honorable and encourage
ing to the Wings, though not affording pros
pect of success at this trial.
We are proud to see that the settlements on
the st. Johns, where Locofocoism had prepared
to exert its worst corruptions, have again cast
heavy majorities for Robinson! Aroostook is
redeemed !-Portland Advertiser.

WHO CAN VOTE FOR HENRY CLAYs

The OLD DEMOCRATS, of 1912, can vote for
him, for he was the great Champion of the Demo-
cratic party, on the floor of Congress- and senced
the batteries of the Essex Junto, by his l-power-
full eloquence, and rebuked such men as Martin
Van Buren,, who sought by an alliance with the
election of that pure patriot JAMES MADISON.
The FRIENDS OF LIBERTY, every where,
can vote for him, for it was his voice that was
heard in the Halls of Congress, in favor of South
American and Grecian independence.
The honest, patient GERMANS can vote for
him. for he is the advocate of their best interests,
and the eulogsts of their frugal habits, their peace
full quietude, and their love of liberty, lao, and
order.
The FRIENDS OF IRELAND can vote for
him, for he has ever been the advocate of Irish
men, lkening them in his fervid eoquence to his
own warm-hearted Kentuckians
The FRIENDS OF SOUND CURRENCY
will vote for him, for he it that perfected the
soundest currency on earth, and withstood the
clamor of demagogues to preserve it.
The FRIENDS OF HOME INDUSTRY will
support him, for it is his glory to give industry it's
ample reward, by removing from it foreign pauper
competition.
The MECHANIC will vote for him. for il is tho
policy of HENRY CLAY to give full employment
to every hand, and every lever, and every screw,
and every wheel in the land, by creating full EN-.
ployment and good pay, in good money.
The FARMER will support him, for it is his
policy that will create Home Market, and there
by increase the profits of his labor, and the value
of his lands.
LABORERS Of all kinds will support him, for
he it is that will protect them from the pauper
labor of Europe, and enable them to support
themselves and families with care and independ-
ence.
Finally, the PEOPLE of every condition Of life
Will support him, as their best truest, and frnest
friend, and they ,oiH elect him TOO by majority
exceeding that which passed sentence of condem-
nation upon Martin Van Buren, in 1870 The
banner OF the people is already unfurled to the
breeze, and upon it is inscribed in letters of light

NEW YORK CITY ELECTION.

The whirlwind has had its course. The 'Ame-
rican Republican party has carried the city by a
decided majority, electing Common Council.
James Harper is Mayor by still larger prepon-
derance, having received a great many Wing
votes. We regret this result, not for itself mere
ly, for we have no doubt Mr.. Harper will make
good Mayor, and we are quite willing that any
new party should try its hand at the Council
bellows. "A new broom sweeps clean,' and it is
impossible that our new lords should not sweep
out some corruption and iniquities from the City
Hall, while it will tax the ingenuity of the orr
ginators and ostensible leaders of the Native
party to govern the city worse than it has been
recently ruled. There will be general turning
out of city functionares; but the new swarm
can only be more hungry-they cannot be more
devasating-than their predecessors. On this
