through ignorance, and do much regard those who
do the same thing from more repTehensble design.
They will find out their sorrow, by and by, that
they have been barking at tie wrong ee-and like
the Nueces hunter, instead of catching the coon they
will discover that the democratic panther is after hem
and that they can't bring him down with sold king
death" or any other swing rifle" TO those who err
through ignorance, we commend the following state
ment of facts given by the N. Y Journal of Com
merce, which very conclusivey manfests that there
Is no grounds for whig exuaton in this case. Some
OF our democratic contemporaries too, may perhaps de-
rive some advantage from the same relation. For
ourselves look at the result of the election in New
York with very considerable degree Of GOODNESS;
seeing but little cause for ire excitement OF any
kind. As to the wings deriving any permanent adj
vantage from the present squabbes In New York, we
have the shadow of fear. The democrats of that
State men Of intelligence and of principle; and
though they may occasionally get into a snarl about
men, and become very much exasperuted they will
on that account give up their principles and 60 over
to whiggery. They the last people who will do
that. On the contrary, democratic principles and
measures will derive a new impetus from this very
quarrel, and the "Wilmot provisc," which has been
made Of the preexts ostensibe causes Of this
quarrel will be forgotten, absorbed in propositions
infinitely more important TO the welfare and prOsperl
ty of the mass of the people, 1t because the
most determined to breach these measures of pro-
gress dstrused the old office holders of the party in
New York, that have the result which we have.
1t very natural for in Office to think that every
thing is all right long they keep in. The
hunger which pnches the bellies of others don't starve
them. All is well with them and they wish to ''let
well enough alone" We do not believe that the Will
proviso is generally regarded as one of these in
cipient measures of reform. 1t derives its present
consequence simply because of the indscreet attitude
which southern politicians have assumed in regard to
it, which is, say what you will, shocking to the
principles or prgudiceS of the eastern people. The
pursued by southern men, this question: at
the last session of Congress, not only offended these
prudces but opened anew the old which had been
inflicted upon the democracy of ~ York, by what many
conceived to be the deSerion of the south of Mr. Van
Buren, in the election of 1910, and the teachery which
manifested against him from the same quarter, at
the last Baltimore Convention To suppose that such
can be healed by further excoriation, is to make
a mistake. The direct indirect threats from one
side, that if you don't do thus and so, you shall be
beaten, and shall have a wbig president, will in the
long beget spirit of determination the other,
TO resist such dictaory threats at whatever cost The
infamous sentiment of Mr.. Calhoun, that 'the demo-
cratic party only held together by the COHESIVE
power of public plumber" is not forgotten, but yet
rankes in the heart Of many true democrat who
stands ready to teach him. and those who follow in his
wake, the falsity of the sentiment. whenever it shall
become necessary TO learn them such lesson. That
time wiH come, however, until the south shall
evince beyond doubt that they incorrgble and
as crazy as Mr. Calhoun and bis followers. 1t is such
considerations these which are the real sources of
the difficulties in New York; and the Syracuse ticket
defeated because large portion of the democra-
cy, whether correctly or not is matter, believed
that it partook much of the character implied by
the sentiment of Mr.. Calhoun, above alluded to- Those
difficulties have been brooding long time They are
not the creatures of day year, nor do they
their existence to single cause,-least of all to tie
Wilmot proviso, prime cause. That there may
be more or less fault in the eaders of both divisions
We have doubt; but cursing them will not eradi-
those faults. The people will soon discover where
the blame lies, and when they do that they will just
surely apply the corrective. Let them settle it
among themselves, and let not volunteer our de-
nunciaons until we certain they are properly ap-
piled.
From the ~ Y. Journal of Commerce, Nor. IL
The WING VICTORY IN THE STATE OF N. YORK.
year ago, when Young (whig) was elected Governor
of this State, and large majority of Wing Congress-
men were also elected the cry was that the Empire
State had repudia:ed the new tariff. The results of
the recent election are set down as a rebuke of the
Mexican war, and an Endorsement of the Wilmot pro-
viso. The Tariff which was the object of so
much adherence year ago. is still in force and like
B continue but the people, according these casu
lists, have ceased to care anything about it, This per-
haps, not far from the truth. That is, they are
generally satisfied with the Tariff; have no hope
fear of its repeal at present; and are not dis
posed trouble themselves unnecessarily on this SUBJ
ject. Judging from the number of votes polled we
should say that nearly the apathy exists in re-
gard 10 the Mexican War, the Wilmot proyso and
all other political topics.
THE Journal then presents table of complete and
semi-ofcia returns for 1t Governor in several coun-
ties and compares them with the vote for Governor in
the same COMMITTEES in 1874. If the same proportion
holds good throughout the State, as the Journal thinks
it will, the aggregate vote compared with 1874 is as
follows:
WING VoTE in 1874 (Governor) .23I, OFT
do in lS47 lit. GovernoT ..... .l64, 45S
Decrease of wing votes. g. $50
