THE RESULT-TlIE CAUSE-OUR
COUHSE-NIR,C CLAY, &C.


The efforts oftl,o Wing party have hccn una
valling-Ilarry Of the West is defeated, beyond
cavil, and James X. Polk is elected President Of
the United States. II is a result that we drprc-
it been in our power, and To obviate which wc
cxcltcd our limited abilities to the utmost. We
look within and find nothing to condcnn-wo
look without upon Cecil aAd upon Oil Maryland
and find nothng to censurc. Oar good old State
has stood true to the principles OF the Wing par
y, and true TO lhei: chaInpion.
The cause Of our defeat is manifest we haze
bad TO contend against every faction in tic l;l,d
.GOllhncl, and against the luouGY the influence
and tilc 'nca foreign lands. We bNd not strength
sufficient for the contest. in one single State
.EErcn thousand abo,ionists, and Ehy Thousand for
rigncrs wen, against us. 1t is not strange then
that we dcfrltcd
What next is our duty It is plain. Hold
fas, whcrcun,o we have attained Rcu,ain
NhigF-pnro wings nsuliicd, undisnrycd.-
The principles ofthe uhig party are as lasting as
the foundations of the Republic i,self--thcy are
coutanc Gus with it and with it will cocxtcnd. and
around them let us s,!l rally, choosing rather to
be defeated advocating the right, than 10 be sue
ccsstul in the wrong
The feeling Of Native Amcricauisrn is spread
ng, but the wing party will neither Join them
n"r adopt their name. When our party saw that
Tie second Presidential term, was Injurious 10
-hc county, they adopted the one term prhn-
cipe, whch is now almost universally acccded
to--whcn we saw the veto power was abused, we
advocated its repeal and now if we find that the
existing naturalization laws are injurious, and
are made to sajscrvc party purposes, let US, as
in tie case ofthc 'Nuto power and tie Second
term, advocate what we consider 10 be health
tai md proper change, and adopt! "A Modifca-
ton of the existing Naturalization Laws as ono
of our principles and maintain the Wing pnt,y
unt@a'sen. II is H"'c. srOngc, than any oiaer sin
gts party IN !ae country.
In regard to Mr.. Clay, personally, we must say
that we feel tho defeat kpt.nly. 1t was the fond
desire Of our heart 10 see him clcctrd originating
mostly from the wish to see his bitter foes and
malignant ilnncrs chog incd. But he in,,si do
srend 10 The grave a private ctizcr--agc is upon
him ard he cannot gain be l candda;e The
hishet honer. hovo &rrn place! upon his brow
by lis p1'rotls,U, sad r"tru.ndMj. talents and O.
i"qncnce. Ii was no, needed 50 complete his great
ness and h's fame if wa, to ensure the pros
pcrity Of his county, that he should be chosen
lis ruler. Tbcl" is consolation !ir him and for
us. We repeat Il coupIci, We heard q pretty wing
lady quote:

Delaware on Tuesday last, resulted favor
ably 10 the Wings. She gives her 8 cleo
'oral votes to Mr.. Clay - has elected a
whig Governor, wing congressman, wing
Legislature, and thus secures Wing L.

New Castle county which has almost
always been locotoco, has come out g'ori-
