TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH WILL RISE AGAIN"
Such is the cheering motto OF the democrats Of
New York-as we are assured by the "Wayne
Sentinel" Such, we have no doubt, will again be
verified " as as the people shall have another
opportunity to compare principles and measures
with professions and pledges and give their verdict
through the balot-boxes. This opportunity will
occur next November, when we have the fullest
confidence that a reversal Of the decision just pro-
nounced in this State will be had, which will be the
precursor of glorious democratic victory to be
achieved in lS4Sl"
Within the las, twenty-fours hours, we have re-
ceved reliable snl cheering information from New
York. Mr. Wright, with that wisdom which is
characteristic of the man, is bearing his defeat with
the utmost, equanlmity, and will retire to private life
with the grace which becomes him. He and his
immediate friends doing still more Some few
NOV ements have been made, under the impulse of
the moment, to bring him out Immediately a
candidate for the Presidency; but we learn, from
the best authority, that his friends doing all in
their power to check the proceeding; and no doubt
is entertained that this matter Gas friend assures
us) twill be well done in a quiet and effectual
way."
We are not defeated upon any permanent or
general grounds in New York. The election came
off great questions of national politics. The
democrats will henceforth stand up to their duty
with the energy which becomes the cause Of
truth. If they are wise, they will bury their
divisions, and turn their whole artillery against
the federal opposition As an intelligent cit
izen of the State says, in a letter now before
lis: "a reaction is taking place rapily among
the people, who never dreamed that our govern or
could be defeated, and who, consequently made
scarcely any effort If Young lives, and pursues the
policy which is marked out for him by his electors,
Wright will be more ,pular at the end Of the next
two years, than if he had continued in the guber-
Material chair-whch reflection, together with the
adoption ofthe new constitution, tends to reconcile
me in some degree to the result of the late election
here"
A friend in Virginia congratulates us upon the
defeat we have sustained in Ohio Pennsylvania, &c.
He says it has come in exactly the proper time
after we had carried most of our great measures, and
in time prepare for the great contest of I848 He
says that it has been most fortunate for that il
at this very time-to rouse our party--to re.
organize them--to reunite them more firmly to-
gether--to make us feel that men are nothing, and
principles and the success with which they must be
car red out, are everything. As the Detroit Free
Press" says, in reviewing the election campaigns
just passed:
"But it not our intention when com
mehced, to point out the reverses with which the
campaign Of 1886 closed, so much it was to in
sist upon application Of the only remedy which
is to save the democracy of the Union in future
the remedy which is stay the onward tide Of fed
erasm and to roll it back. That remedy is given
in few words, and they are "union and harmony
eltdenial and conetsson-epGything for The cause,
nothing for men" This admirable precept practiced
upon, will close the campaign Of next year with
series of democratic triumphs that will cause fed
eralism to quake with very fear
"ln little more than one year from this time, both
the political parties will be in the midst Of presi-
dental campaign. This is not the time, nor is IN
article of this kind the one in which our preference
should be avowed. The nominee of the party, be
he who he may, (taking it, Of course, for granted
that he is a democrat, good and true,) must be
elected To secure that election, the party must 60
into the contest united and determned-the names
Of hard and soh bunker and barn-burner must be
laid aside-al feeling for men merged in favor of
principles, and democracy will be successful, as il
was with Jefferson, Madison, jackson, Van Buren,,
and Polk.
"The present Is the best time to heal all breaches
in our ranks. Smartng under the sense Of defeat
in many of the States, the democracy are now pre-
pared TO surrender their preudices to men, TO for
get all minor quarrels and rally again. as thew have
rallied before, to save the country r
We for one are prepared to adopt this advice.
