 THusIAsM!4n Success MaH
 We have great pleasure in announcing to our readers the result of the Democratic National Con vention. This pleasure arises from every aspect and consideration of the case. It arises from the character of the individuals nominated: from the perfect and enthusiastic Union of our party-and our consequently certain success and from the death blow we have now. struck into the very heart of Whiggery. It is well known thai the hope of our whig opponents has hung upon, what they called, our divisions anddissensions and derived but little support from the merits of their own men or nea- sures. They have been long warned that this hope was mere gajs fituuS, beguiIine them into greater eXtravagances of expectation, and giving them a temporary elevation of spirit, but to render their disappointment and fall the more sudden and se- we're. That hope has been snatched from them, as they were told it would be; and the warning which they disregarded and affected to despise, is upon them now in blighting reality Where now is the division in the Democratic party of which the Wings have talked so much. Where now is the dis sension in the Democratic ranks, or among the De- mocratic leaders? over which the Whigs were chuekiug the other day. The answer is written deep in the heart of every Democrat, beams out in the living light of smiling faces, and fills the heavens with shouts Of harmonious enthusiasm The broad banner of Democracy is unfurled to the breeze; and it's glorious folds, filled by the mighty voice of a free peope-sweeping over mountain and valley and plain, win in triumph ''o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.'' Inscribed upon those s.banner folds,. in beams of sunlight is noble -s.MEAsuREs, NOT MEN'' As the standard bearers of this glorious flag we have chosen JAMES K. POLK, and GEORGE NJ. DALLAS. And under this flag, and under these leaders, we will triumph. Where, we repeat, are our divisions and dissensons' 'sIn the deep bosom of the ocean buried" True, as was natural, we each had our individual preferences for men; but though we loved our friends much, we loved our principles more; and not one who is true Democrat, would be willing to elevate his favorte, if by doing so, he would im- pair in the slightest degree the strength of his party We desired the establishment of our principles and
 their successful application to the administration of the government; and, for this purpose, we wanted true and tutsty leaders, Our Convention has given us such leaders, We accept them with joy and grat- ulation; we rise up, and rally round them we shout their names in peas of recommendation to esr brethren throughout the country. We shall not rally in vain. With sentiments but one degree less pious than those Of CONSTANTINE. when he raised the Christian cross andinscribed uponit-andeftBis sign conquer, We now raise the Democratic Ban her, emblazoned with our. noble motto and the names of onr gallant leaders; and we shall, with 'shearts resolved, unwaYerng confidence, glowing and unialtering steps, march to victory
 BROTHER DEMOCRATS Have we not in the fore going expressed the sentiments and feelings which fill your hearts We are sure we have done SO Then let us rise up, as one man, make the welin ring with NINE TIMES NINE CHEERS, for POLK and TEXAS!! and then manfuy put our shoulders to the wheel Of our eountrys good and roll t on to vietory
