A Ridiculous Attempt to get up a Panic
The VilIainy of the Tribune.
We had hoped that after the result ofthe
Presidential election was known, and the
excitement ofPary had 10 measure SUBJ
sided, we should no longer witness in the
party newspapers those wilfuI misrepresen.
tations and ridiculous attempts, unsupported
by truth, reason, or argument. We had
INDUCED the hope that the considerable and
candid Of both parties would be willing to
abide the decision of the people, and give
TO the new Administration fair trial. But
much to our surprise and regret, we find
that before the official result isdeelared, al
Ihougn tne ueCIston OF me people IS already
known, the Tribune Of this city, in one Of
the most viIainous articles the pen Of its ed
tor ever recorded, attempts to excite pa

The folIowiag-we take from the Tribune
Of yesterdays.
"THE RESULT OF THE REsULT.-NOw
that il is all but certain that Polk is chosen
President, we begin to hear some Of the
consequences thereof. We will barely
mention some Of them:
"a heavy block Of houses, which was to
be built in our city, has been countermand-
ed. So Of several new factories in this
State and elsewhere. Que large establish
nent has already contracted its business SO
as to dispense with l40 hands, and is pre-
pairing to contract still farther, Agricultural
Produce has generally declined 10 price in
our market since the, defeat of Mr.. Clay
was rendered morally certain. One man
who had given orders for the purchase of
twenty five thousand barrels of -four in our
city has countermanded the order. A gen
eraI depression pervades our business cir
Giles. What is the cause?"
The mind that conceived the above quo-
tation would rejoice in its realizaton,~ The
man who penned ii would glory in the dis
charge of the employed by the employer,
and a still further depression of the price of
farm produce. The Tribune knows very
we'll that the great body of those who sup
ported Gov. Polk are to be found among
the agricuhuraists, mechanics and labor
ers Of the United States; therefore he would
punish them for the free exercise OF the e.
lectiVe franchise. Hundreds Of honest Dem
ocrats have no doubt been discharged, and
hundreds more may be discharged, because
they would not vote the Wing ticket. But
their places will no doubt be filled by the
friends Of Ms. Clay. We venture to assert
that If a single factory contracts its business
or stops, il vii be because a large portion
Of the capital that kept it 10 operation has
been squandered 10 order to elect Henry
Clay. Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
have been expended by The owners Of cot
too mills, with the expectation that il would
return to them increased lenfoid, It Mr..
Clay should be elected. Wealth has pour,

aAn order for $4,000 barrels Of -four has,

We suppose this must be q Pfhig order,

Lost all 10 betting on Mr.. Clay's election.
