have ONLY exercised the rights of reemen in the sup
port Of Mr. Clay and concedine to The great body oil
them sincere devotion 10 the best interests OF me
county as they honestly understand them. We have
no disposition 10 exut over our defeated fellow citi
gems, much less 10 wound them with bitter taunts
Yet we do most heartily rejoice In view OF the sue
cess Of the men aud the principles regarded BY US
and all democrats essential to the prosperity OF the
nation. We rejoice lie the result, because we see ~
Il that the American people still prepared to put
high estimate upon pure and unspotted prvSe
moral character. No two men could be found 10 our
country whose private characters are ireer from sPot
or blemsh than the President and Vice President
elect Elevated To the highest offices IN our govern
ment the democracy may well rejoice IN having done
much towards eeyatDg the standard OF morals IN our
public
We re oiee in the result, moreover, because IN II
we see that the people know how TO appreciate ana
reward those men who have neither sought nor m
trigued 10 secure their promotion. Neither James
N. Polk George NJ Dallas had sought TO be
nominated for the Offices to which they are elected
After they were nominated, they conducted them
selves with marked propriety during the canvass
They sought alliances combinations with petty
factions 10 strengthen their chances Yet The people
have triumphantly sustained them
We rejoice in the result, also because we see IN II
sure guaranty that noble old Constitution stiH has
the affections Of the .4erean people and that for he ner
-four years that glorious sfruDsnt tc be Preserved as
is Neither uA IL be torn and mangted by an obitera
non % that grand e0Sfpdtlrt feature embraced III "e
reio po1er will II suffer from false constructions
by the creati IN of great moneyed corporation nor
by distribution OF the proceeds Of Tie sales OF the
Public Lands.
We rejoice in the result, again, because we see IN
il willingness the part of the People 10 submit inc
erstng system Of tariff araion 10 such MODIFICATION as
may be agreed upon by their representatives. IN Con-
grts They have, by this election proclaimed 'heir
attachment TO an economical governmental sach
iaraon rA incidentally gre protection 10 all me
great Interests ofs country They have placed IN The
Executive char who does not close the door
against the wise deliberations of Congress On this Vi
la subject
We re oice in the result, because in 1t we see a
prospect opened up for the annexation Of our sister Re
public Of Teas 10 Union.
And, lastly, we rejoice in the result, because the
high honor thereby conferred upon one of the sons
Of Tennessee, of holding the reins of government
and illustrating democratic principles by his wisdom
and hrmness in its administration.
These of the substantial grounds which
the democracy have for rejoicing, and they look Tor
ward with entire confidence TO the results OF their
victory, as they shall be developed during the next
four years for complete ful6lment of all their hopes
The gov eminent will be wisely and Prosperous'y ad-
minstered, aud the people will rejoice that they have
| adhered to democratic and democratic measures.
