TRIUMPH OF RGPU BLICAN PRINCIPLES.
From the indications in the large States, there
be no doubt but that Col Polk will beat Mr. Clay
this fall by as decided majority was Gen. Jack
sons IN 1882.
Since lS4l some twenty States have been carried
against the Wing candidates: IN each and all of
uose States the anti-Bank Harrison and Tyler men
united heartily with their Republican friends, and
mos. them took an active and conspicuous part
against the candidates friendly to Mr.. Clay. They
did this to evnce their consistency 10 voting for Tip
and Ty" in 1910 as Jefersonan Republicans, and op
posed 10 a Bank. These will all vote for Col.
Polk. Aside from the obligations of honor, which
alone should preserve their consistency, they have
already incurred the eternal enmty Of Mr.. Clay and
his friends for sustaining the vetoes and opposing the
enemies of the Administration There is not a man
who voted with the Wings in 1910, and has since
supported Democratic candidate for Governor
Congress, or Legislature, who has not been marked
for political destruction in the event Of MIR. Clay's
election. Even if any of this class to support
nothing to hope at his hands, He is revengeful and
impIacabIe to the last degree Neither himself nor
any Of his friends for him, will say that any who
has ever sought, accepted, retained office under
John Tyler; or any man who has been known to ex-
press respect and esteem for the President the
vstoes; or any who have voted for Democratic
candidate since 1910, can-do what he may-ever
expect federation or favor at the hands of the Wing
administration, should Colonel Polk be defeated.
