majority of $50 900 over the Democratic
party. This shows conclusively that the
great majority of young voters coming
into the field during this period, were not
Democrats but Wings, that is, men who
support the leading measures Of the Wing
party. From 40 up to last year the
principal deficiency again occurs in the
Wing ranks. Ia 40 the Democrats poll
ed more votes throughout the Union than
they had ever mustered OH any former
occasion. But this was occasioned chief
ly by the absence of excitement amongst
the Wings, and the diversion from their
ranks of about 10000 to the abolitionists,
and other local movements. During the
last year the deficiency in the Wing vote
was still more marked, whilst the increase
in the abolition vote tended still more to
diminish it. But the general excitement
was less, and accordingly we see that the
Democrats polled more votes than they
did the previous year. The general con-
illusions from all these returns is that the
young generation. as they come into the
field, entitled to vote, are, at least ma
jority of them, in favor Of the Wing prin-
ciples and the Wing industrial movements.
Another conclusion, which we draw from
these results, and which is very clear, is
that if the excitement during the present
summer can be raised to as high FITCH
as in 40, there can be very little doubt Of
the triumphant return of Henry Clay, and
the permanent establishment of his dynas-
ty and his measures FOR series of years
throughout this country. Since 40 q
large number of voters, young men and
naturalized citizens. may be added to the
aggregate number Polied in that year, but,
as we have already remarked. the major
Ivy of these new voters are Wings, that
consideration only adds to the chances of
the Wings in carrying the election of Mr..
Clay against all opposition.
! Another reason which seems to argue
that we are on the eve of great and per-
maneni political revolution in favor of the
Wing party, under the banner of Mr..
Clay, Is that which is presented to our
minds in consequence of the violent dis
sentions and hear:burnings amocg the
Democrats. No matter what the Con-
vention al Baltimore may do, the feuds
between their leading men cannot be sub
dued-their broken legions cannot be uni.
ted By any species of compromise. or any
system Of harmony. As for Tyler. he is
only 6rebrand thrown ioto the Demo.
cratic camp. increasing the confagration
which at present RACES there.
! Such is the view which seems to be
impressed Gu every rational mind. on look.
ing back upon the history of the last six
teen or twenty years, and marking the alb
soute results at the polls. The popular
election of General Jackson established
that dynasty which has governedthe coun-
try for the last sixteen years but within
the last eight years revolution has been
slowly, but surely, progressing. and now
Mr.. Clay comes forward as the univer-
sally acknowledged and favorite candi-
date of the Wing party. with more ofthe
elements of POPULARITY in his character
than were possessed byany candidate since
the time of General Jackson, to whom.
indeed, in this respect, he bears strong
reseu bance. Bold. fearless, positive
identified with certain great and popular
measures, and the nominee ola united and
enthusiastic party. it is hardly possible to
doubt his success in establishing a new
and permanent dynasty that may last ff-
teen or twenty years. The appearance
of Mr.. Webster in the field, too, ut this
crisis, as the friend and advocate of Hen
ry Clay, is an event too important to es.
cape notice. This great statesman comes
forward to discuss the rev questions
which have sprung up in the progress Of
events, and which are so we'll calculated
to awaken the enthusiasm of the masses.
; The increase and spread ofour commerce
with foreign nations, by the aid of inter-
national tariff ireaiies-ihe resuscitatIon
of the credit of the broken down States,
the one term principle--all these suggest
and present fruitful themes Of effective
defamation, and which Mr.. Webster will
not fail TO turn to good account.
So that, by all appearance, Mr.. Clay
is likely to be elected by a larger MAORI
ty than that gained by General Jackson
in 1928, or General Harrison in 1910.
