One Y0le.

At the late Gubernaioria Election, there was
bu, one vote cast for General Markle, in Leh-
man township. Pike county. The honor Of
having cas-, iha, solitary ballot, belongs 10 Mr.
JOHN BERG, respectable resident of the
township. Unawed and uninfuenced by the
unanimous opposition agains, him, he repaired
10 The Polls and nobly discharged bis duty as a
freeman; and if spared ill Friday next, he will
do so again by voting for Henry Clay. He
may then pride himself more in those two, Than
in all the other acts of his life.

Arkansas Redeemed.

We have the cheering intelligence from Ar
kansas, that the Wings have swept The Stale,
carrying their Governor, Congressman, and the
Legislature. The Wing Governor is elected
by 259 majority. This news is as unexpected,
as il is good! Arkansas, was always sci down
as sure for Polk-but as we have so unexpect-
edly carried it, we need not despair of ever
carrying New Hampshire.

prominent locofocos, who supported Mr. Skunk.

Conscience troubles them.

Mr.. 0. A Brownson, in the las, number of
his Review. rebukes the locofocos, of whom he
is leader, for the shutting, unmanly and dis
graceful manner in which they have conducted
The present canvass. Hear how he talks:
I'VE have been deeply grieved at Mr.. Folks
letter. We had hoped, that with Mr.. Van Bu-
ren, the be,wixt and betweenily policy he had
represented for SO many years would retire to
the shades of Underwood, and that henceforlh
we should be al liberty TO adopt an open, man.
ly, straightforward policy, alike creditable To-
The leaders Of the party, and beneficial 10 the
country but we fear, that we have gained little
by The exchange. We have, we fear, only ano.
iher disciple Of the Same school, and that the
same old demagogical dynasty is to be renewed
and perpeuaed the same dread OF open, hon.
est avowals, The same wan. of confidence in
the people, the same crooked, serpen,ine poll
cy, which caused us to be hurled from power
with such overwhelming Indignation in 1910,
are TO be again our characteristics We are
afraid ,ha, we are likely to prove, as party
that we cannoiProit by experience, and can
learn 10 wisdom from defeat We have no,
read zoe haze not heard, during The canvass, thus
far, single noble sentiment, or single manly
appeal The whole canvass has been conduct
ed in toruous manner by low and demoral.
izing appeals. disgraceful TO The actors, and
deadening to the public conscience. We just
" merit the sorath Of Heaven and should we
fail. IL ,oould he only righteous judgement upon
US for our uant Of firm principle, mobility of soul,
confidence in the people. and fidelity to The sacred
cause ,ntrusted TO our keeping"
Mr.. Brownson has spoken freely Of The par
~ 10 which he belongs; and he has spoken
justly. Ano.her party never existed tha, was
SO reckless of principle, unscrupuIous Of meas
nres, greedy Of spolls, nnmipdful Of truth, and
regardless Of The public welfare and individual
prosperity.

REVOLUTION OF THE POLITICAL
 WHEEL.

WHEEL.
 The Wings boast, that the recent elections indicate decided and glorious victory off their party i'll the approaching Presidential election. They say, If we go on so-L e. gain in all the States, as we have in those that have lately held their elections, we shall elect Harry of the West by an overwhelming maiorityo This declaration evidences either total incompetency to make true deduc- ton from the most palpable and obvious premises, or determination to brag and boast in the face of facts, and in defiance off truth and common sense. The merest child in Arithmetic can easily relute their eonelu- sion by applying the simplest rules to the elucidation of the problem. The question is, how much have they gained or lost in the popular vote in the several States that have lately voted, commencing with Louisiana, and ending with Vermont? If they have gained enough 10 overcome the sweeping ma iorities against them in 1911 and i842, they have a right to claim the victory Or, if they have not lost in such ratio, compared with the Presidential vote in 1910, as to negative their maiorites, then, in that case, they will have a right to crow. subioin statement showing the Democratic gains or Whig loss es in the eight States Louisiana, N North Ga follna, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri and Vermont, as indicated by the late elections in those States, compared with the elections of 1840.
 The comparison with the Presidential election of 1910, is made, because 1t IS more convenient to refer to the returns, and there fore easier to ascertain the actual differences, and because it is just as fair to take those re- turns as any other for, fl the ratio of loss on the Whig majorities of 1910, in the States that have lately voted, be such, as when ap- piled to all the States, 1t would produce a result favorable to the Republican candidate, il is just as fatal to the Whig cause, as fl the ratio of Whig increase in the popular vote since l84l-2, should be too small to neu- tralize the immense Democratic majorities then given Either operation would produce the same substantial result-and both can be easily demonstrated to be equally fatal to the confident anticipations of the Wings

Without any protective Ianff, we should by this time have seen an immense amount of domestic manufactures flourlshlng We are the last people in the world to want such interposition. We are the most enter prising people on the globe, and the most sagacious in finding out aohat we ought best to do, and the best aeay of doing 1t, and the best machines for saving labor. The system, too, of as Free Trade as can best prevail, has this decided advantage 1t has more sta bility than a fuctuating protective scheme and those who engage in it know better how to count upon more constant employment.
