OF me Union commented upon by Wings 10
o0H!a CaT0lthianS, IN connection with articles in
Inc Mercury as 10 The anticipated course Of Mr.
FOLK, in order 10 induce The belief that MIR. b.
would, il elected, be hostile 10 South Carolina pc-
llics and men, and So ALLEVIATE their support from
Mr.. BIO others, larilfiles, he was denounced
as direct taxie,' Tree trade 'nullitylns theo-
ris' and 'abstracionisi,' and The Lord only knows
what. Here, in Middle Florida, among The Bank
%"cGholae'S, ne was held up as 'repudiaior,'
bank-cveller,' deslrnotiunisl.' &c. while in East
Florida he was paraded as banl:ite,' 1allh-bond-
lie, corporalonsl,' and the like.
Mr.. Brocncnbrough has, under Providence,
lliumphed. dis infamous libellers are rebuked.
The ',rhde ,canesscs' have not been produced
he has carried The negro rifntss bU, The bank,
the bonds repudlaion direct lax. tree trade. abe
lilIonism, The hostility OF the Charleston Mercury
10 Mr.. Polk-al The faults and errors OF The De-
mocracy OF Flor!a-all the discomfort of cisap-
pointed oitce-seekcrs; and he has carried all The
aggregated hostility of all inmica 10 Mir. Levy,
Mr.. Heslcot Judge Bailzell, and every other
successful Democral-he has carried all and, By
force Of his high character, splendid. atiainmenls
and great abilities, surmoun,ed and triumphed
over all combined difficulties We believe no
other Democrat Of Florida could have been SO
successful, under like circumstances"
The Floridian denouhces as false The nsinua-
lions OF The Wings as 10 supposed i'll feelings be-
tween Mr.. 3. and The Two U. S. Senators. On
TIC contrary, "ihey will act tremendously ard
will each 10 his utmost, in concert wilh each
other, for Florida, and the advancement of the
principles OF democracy. There is nothing TO
disturb that harmony"
Mr.. Cabell is fully acquitted OF all partcipa-
lion in the vile attack upon Mr. B. as TO The NEGRO
witness bill, and The Flordian adds: 1--WE be-
lieve he (Mr. CabclD would have scorncd such
course, and had he been present, that he would
have controlled those who invented and propaga-
led those arocicus calumnies, so as 10 have re-
strained them from dissracing themselves as they
have"
While then The Wing party lowered them
selves by such violent and false charges agains,
Mr.. B., We can truly say with The Pensacola De-
mocrat, that we feel proud ofIhe Democratic party
OF Florida, when we can appeal 10 The Wings
themselves, ard ask, if throughout the contest, a
disrespecHul word or an opprobrious epiihet
from any reputable source, was uttered against
their Mr. Cabe The Democrats only
combaued against principles which he himself
avowed, as they had clear fight TO do The
Floridian calls special attention 10 the catering
vote MIR 3. received al the cities of ST. Augustine,
where he first resided; Apaachicola, where he
EDWARDS lived, and Tallahassee, where he has
lived for the last Two years. This last place was
never carried by the Democrats bit once before,
and is in The very hold OF WhiegeIy, ''st the very
doors OF The lhellers,' and yet Mr.. &. received 50
majority. Honorable political opponents, dis
gusled al The means used 10 defeat him, had the
manlness TO vote for him." His majority in St.
Augustine is So. and in Apalachicola is 81.
The Floridian contains the following sensible
advice, which will suit other attitudes Than that Of
Florida:
"This election should admonish the Democracy
that Eternal rigii0nre is II. price of liberty II
should admonish them, that, unless they Go tie
duty Of voting at every election, the enemy VIII
take them al some momen. OF apathy BY surprise,
ard incalcuiable mischief may be done"
We have devoted much space 10 this election,
being satisfied that j, would not be without inter-
es, 10 our readers. The Wings locked 10 il as the
turning point of Wing success-and it was i'm
portant 10 ru, The matter in its true light. The
result proves, that in spite of all difficulties, tic
Southern Democracy have confidence and To-
nesiy in MIR. Polk. 1t, moreover, gives conllrma-
lion 10 some OF the views en- a certain point,
which We were called upon 10 advance.
Now, all's we'll once more. Florida is Demo.
cratic, and, with ordinary prudence and vigilance
on the part OF our friends will remain so.
