wing Triumph in Pennsylvania.

1t IS really amusing to see LOcoiocos tax
ing their brains for imaginary causes to ac.
count for their utter discontinue in the sold
Keystone" State.
Some refer 1t to the unpopularity of Long,
streth; but the fact that Wing Congressmer
generally received larger vote than John
son settles that question. ."' elf.,i
Some refer it to Nativeism. But
when il is rememberd that Johnson only
received a little over 1000 majority in the
city and county of Philadelphia, the strong
hold of Nativeism, where that party might
have increased his majority TO 10000. and
the fact that the Natives voted against him
in Allegheny county, because he appointed
a German for his Aid d'camp, this reason
fails them.
The fact is simply this. PennsvIvanians
were cheated in ls4i by Polk, Dallas and
the Tariff of42;but not so ia ls4s And when
the cry is raised that "Gen. TavIor is com,
ing" the small majority now will be in
creased tn toihonsands.
The present is glorious triumph. Gov.
johnson might have been defeated by a few,
thousand votes. and yet Gen Taylor would
have carried the State And now that the
Wings have ascertnined their strength and
while he cry of"Victory" is heard all over
the State; they will march to the polls to a
man and carry, their leader in triumph, on
the 7th of next November. And Penn

A Whilc Man sold to a Negro!

1t will be remembered that Gen. CAss
while Governor Of Michigan, urged
through and sanctioned law, providing
for the SALE or WHIPPING Of WHITE MEN
convicted ofidleness, disorderly conduct

By turning to Niles Register, vol. XXI

Cured at Detroit. There is a law in this
Territory that provides for the selling Of
idle and dissolute persons at public auc-

Fortunate, indeed. is it for SENIOR Of

the Senior would most assuredly be con-

more likely to be sold to the highest bid

off and probably send him into Mexico,

The Trumpet Call.

We do not know how more appropri-
ately than by this caption to introduce to
our readers the following well-timed and
stirring appeal to the WHTGs OF THE UNI
TED STATES, by the editors of the New
York Express, themselves among the
most active in the front rank of our polit.
cal friends.-Mt. Int.
THE WHIGs OF THE UNITED STATES
are now so we'll aroused. and, we may add
nOW so well united that it seems hardly
necessary to roll the drum any longer;
but action and concord, though indispen-
sibly for success, are not yet half enough
of what is wanted. Action must be
turned to Useful account.--There must
be energy, enthusiasm watchfulness,
and above all, organization. 1st Are the
Wing party everywhere organized? That
is the question. No is the answer we
venture to say, in most quarters; but "no"
must be the answer no longer for where
there is no organization there is no GER
tainty of success. Regulars are as impor-
tant in politics as in war; and discipline is
as necessary for success at the balot-box
as in the field. Orations, addresses, res
olutions, speeches, &C., are all important
but not much more important than the
band Of music in an army. The bugle
inspires, the fife alouses, and the drum
wakes up; the band then makes even COW
ards brave, but it is the silent host NOV.
ing shoulder to shoulder, step by step
that does the work Oraiions, &C., are
thus all wellenough, nay,vcry necessary,
but the true captain in coming great day
must know his men.-and where to find
them. He counts three who adds two
votes to his own.
1--WE apprehend that the business clas.
ses of society are not yet sufficiently a.
wake to the way in which this election
touches their interests. We fear they do
not yet sufficiently portray the dangers
involved in the election Of Cass and con-
quest. One war, Improbable enough,
we have had under the demagogue Polk
How many we may have under the spirit
which would elect Cass who can foresee
or foretelll We think that farmers. mer-
chants, and traders are not yet wide a.
wake enough to the importance opening
the way ofour great Western lakes and
rivers for all the outlets and inlets of COM
rce.-They do not remember always
that Polk stopped all improvements by
the Federal Government, in the face of
allthe preced entsofprecedng Presidents
and that Cass is pledged to follow in his
footsteps. They may just now, here in
New York, under severe pressure in
the money market, ponder enough upon
the mischiefs, corruptions. and perils of
the Sub-treasury act, but do they think of
the dangers of excessive importations2
Do they see how the manufacturing in.
lerests are depresscdl Are they aware
ofthe consequences ofbuying more from
Europe than Europe will take from usl

the president of the United States had +,

my speech to the Senate, to which al

Glorious TidimSs.

The smoke of the conflict Is clearing
away and we are enabled tolerably de-
finitely to give our readers the result OF
the late elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Georgia and Florida. In regard to the
two latter States, now that deception can
olonger act upon the election in the
formertwo, democratic papers are be-
ginning to acknowledge that their "ex'
tras" lied.
FLORIDA ERECT
As we first stated, the wings have
carried every thing before them Gov
ernor, Congre ssmen, Legislature and OF
course U. S. Senator are all whig. AS
General Taylor will carry more than the
strength of his party little Florida may
be set down as certain for him.

Congressmeu will stand as before 4 Wings

Wings fought spirited contest, they
have gained largely. As in Florida, so in
Georgia, Gen. Taylor will carry more than
the strength Of his party and easily overcome
the present small majority,

The news from Pennsylvania, while it in.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of Saturday,
saws that the Clerk has given the two
whig members of the City their certifi'
Gates. In giving certificates to the FIVE
Locofocos, he overshot the mark, as, in
the law, there is no Hamilton county to
be represented by five members. Should
these certificates not be returned and
new ones issued to the three county
members. we do not see how any of them
can take their seats, ~
AS it is, the whig members from the
city secures us a majority in the House
and we may sum up the victory as fol-
lows:
A Wing Governor; Wing House Of
Representatives and tie in the Senate
Upon this our friends may rely with
certainty. We know of nothing at pre-
sent, that can change the result.
