conversan with the acrs might have been led to be

but was one of those casualties which political parties
have ever been subject, ana certainly he never
would have suspected that the overthrow of The lille
maglcia the IGN linous ever sustained by an
American leader.
We have nklng of the same spirit in late article
written upon the reception of The first returns from Penn
sylvania After givng its .'oplai1n that Morris Long
streth is elected Governor BY small maprity and that
his election secures the State for Cass & Bner beyond

Subsequent Information induces the editor admit that
the all reliable and that the result is
close and doubtful He cautions his friends against
betting Having thus gotten through with the facts of
the case, he breaks into the herplc follows:
'The wachwords to the whole republican narty ereru

This is admirable! No one who has seen the Blue
Book and nned the hundreds Of thousands received By
the writer for sustaining his party question The per-
feet sincerity of the assurance that never did he feel more
satisfied with the in which he is conendng more
avarce as gentemanly vice, and particularly because it
is the passion upon which age exeris no chilling infu-

We would not be cruel enough to deprive the Democ
racy Of any constitution which may result from the
hope that the libry party which is assured without
any grounds whatever, to have gone for Johnson. will,
on the IN Of November, vote for their candidate for
the Presidency. Admit the fact will it add to Cass
strength? Has not the result of every election which
has, 50 far taken place in the Norhera States, shown
concusvey that Van Buren, draws his support almos,
exclusively from the Democratic ranks2 In New York

New Hampshire. And, moreover. the Wings who have

Bntapar from this. Gen. Taylor is stronger BY some
thousands than Johnson. Had johnson been defeated
by five thousand votes, should have thought the
chance Of carrying the State for Taylor excellent.
The Union seemed disp,s to regard the defeat Of
eer as IN some measure the presage of the triumph of
Cass. We hal feeling The kind in regard to john
son, but surely may claim the for Tay seeing
it has already gone for Johnson the weaker candidate
by handsome majority.
