THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN.

n. FOLK succeeds TO the Presidency. iu
We have beensbeaten in Pennsylvania by
foreign and grossly illegal votes. The peo-
pie Of that great tariff State, whose interests
would have been watched over and protect
ed by Henry Clay, have been borne down
and overrun by foreigners, and the twenty
six electoral votes of the State given to
James X. Polk, free trader aud Texas an
nexationist
We have been beaten in New York by
foreigners and abOhtioRists, and the thirty
six electoral votes of that tariff and anti
annexation State have, by these and the
foulest species of illegal voting, also been
given TO the free trader and annexationst!
Thus has the candidate ofihe Wing party,
the FIRST and greatest Statesman in America,
be who has twice saved the country, and is
"the noblest work Of God, an honest man.
"A man endowed with all the qualifications,
both of head and heart to make an eminent,
an upright and Just Chief Magistrate of
this great Republican all probability been
defeated, and the creature of circumstance,
of accident, General Jackson's man Of straw,
been elected TO the seat once graced by
Washington, jefferson Madison, Monroe,
Adams, and Harrison How humiliating!
But shall we as TREEMEN, "who know
our rights. and knowing, dare maintain
them," abandon and give up the ship to the
crew that, as it now seems, is about TO take
possession of her, for four years. cruise 7
Neyer--no never a a.iak
We are in the right, and will stand by our
arms aud our principles, and at least form
MINORITY which will not only keep an
ever-watchlul eye upon the works CT the
MAJORITY, in the exercise Of IFS ill-qotten
power, and thereby do much towards pre-
serving our glorious institutions, but be
ready to rally in the next campaign, with
| an energy and power and might that will
not fail ito expel the Goths and Vandals
from Rome p rs rq
Look, brother Wings at the noble conduct
of Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Rhode Island, in the support they have
just given to Henry Clay We confidently
expect that North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Louisiana. aud Indiana, have
also proved equally worthy supporters Of
the great and good cause. We have an
abiding faith in Georgia, too--nor are we
without hopes OF Mississippi. Certainly Del
aware, Vermont-never fatering, ever glo-
rious Vermont-snd old Massachusetts, will,
",
range themselves under the banner Of "Ciay,
Liberty aud Union" an,B 600 ~

would not rather be in such a ''law and
order" MINORITY, than TO triumph aud revel,
for four years, in Polk MAJORITY, foully
and scandalously obtained as il will have
been, should our adversaries succeedl rf
What Wing does not rejoice that he has
given his support TO HENRY CLAYl The
great Kentucky Statesman, if he is defeated,
will he dearer than ever to the hearts of the
Wings, every where, who have stood gal
