SrRi Ay, ayj what did ! tell you We have
heard enough already to satisfy US that after all the
piotiings of our enemies we have carried the Key
stone" by round majority of at least 1000. Our
authentic returns show 900, and the counties yet
TO be heard from, having always gone against the
Coons, even in s40 there can be no doubt TO the
reasonableness of this calculation. We have con-
tended all along for ten thousand, and The result
shows that we were right for pOtena renaalssiaa, es
pecially when springing from Tort never be con
sidered as impairing the validity OF Legitimate de-
auctions. allude of course TO the unholy 5000,
Matched In the city and county of Philadelphia Al
Ter all, however, this boasled stroke Of war; will
do us more good than harm. Truly, If the Presiden-
ial cleo lion had been decided here and all over the
Union, on Tuesday last, that which surprised Phila-
delphla might have surprised the whole country but
fortunately for the of ''God ard Liberty" just
sufficient time ntevenes 10 enable all classes to iden'
uy not only their enemies but especially those
who entertain their propositions Of amity and friend
ship, Six thousand men, every body knows, would
never have gone in solid column for stranger both
IN politics and person, without guild pro quo. Ihey
must have had either an express or implied under
standing as to The in which their crosses we're
to be borne. But if the friends of equal rights are
not alive to their interests it is not my purpose
to cnlghten them | only chronicle facts as they oc-
before me, leaving others TO draw their own in
ferences.
After few days Of anxiety and gloom, you can
not imagine The deep enthusiasm which pervades
our ranks. At a meeting of the friends of Polk,
Dallas, and Skunk, at the Democratic reading room
on Wednesday evening, Judge Sutherland announced
the success of Skunk with few of his spirit stir
ring remarks when laundering Of cheers foil = ed,
which only Democratic hearts could have raised Vie
also moved nine cheers for Polk and Dallas, which
were cordially given; and then concluded by sug-
costing that, in the of few days we should
call the city of brohery love" to decide between
the beauty Of procession of mere hope, and OF
| Joy. This unanimously concurred in and 30
you may still look to Philadelphia for blaze of en-
tiusiasm warming and lighting the way to the LIST OF
November next. We also had meeting few day
since at the Of 18th and Pine Streets presided
over by Henry Horn, Esq where Judges Sutherland
and Barton, and Attorney General Johnson, addressed
tie multitude. You would be surprised TO witness
the appetite with which Democracy receive eve
ry hing connected with the life and services OF Mr.
Polk. Judge Sutherland happens TO be familiar with
both, as well as personally acquainted with the dis
| lingushed gentleman himself; and the occasion
referred To, went at length into those unwrtter
incidents which almost always garnish the historic:
of our great men; and have never seen any thing
relisbed more, cheered louder. The Judge ha.
his way of doing things, and few ways, assur,
you, tell better. lie not only informs his hearers
where James X Polk came from, but also the :" X
and proves that his ancestors were not altogether a.
much unknown to the bright page of history, as hi
enemies would seem to think. BY the by, III,
Judge has consented, understand, to give the Demo
cracy Of the city and county the sequel of thes,
things, which will no doubt soon be forthcoming
and quite treat especially to those not altogethe
familiar with the character of Mr.. Polk. But of al
these in their turn. H.
