We confess that we are somewhat surprised
and disappointed at the result in this State, where
the election Of Democratic Governor seemed TO
be conceded by all parties. The success OF
Johnston, The Wing and Free-soiler, was evil
IDENTIFY brought about by a coalition Of the
Wings, Barnburners, Abotionists, Natives,
an,i.Masous, and other deleslable factions, which
had united upon Johnston at the present election,
10 defea, The Democratic Cass and Butler nom:-
nee. We believe, when The third party shall
come ino The field in November with their own
candidate Tor President, that these heterogeneous
elements will be distributed between the Taylor
and the Van Buren, parties, and that The genuine
Democratic ticket OF Cas- and Butler will yet
succeed in securing The vote OF the Key Stone
Stale. In view OF toe present fusion OF parties
IN The Governors election we teel satisfied that
the present result is no ,est Of the Presidential
vote in November, and that The Cass aud Butler
party. standing firmly by The principles of the
Constitution, will in November rally TO The
polls. in sufficient numbers to carry the Key
Stone State.
To show to Southern Wings what little rea-
son they have 10 rejoice over Johus,on's election,

we make the following extract from Demo-
cratic speech of Mr.. Larue, at New Orleans.
II seems that General Taylor does not deserve
the credit of all the good things which are as
cribed 10 his pen or his lips:
"But it is said, that Notwithstanding the trea.
son of the President and Secretary OF War,
General Taylor disappointed the plotters,' by
returning to Santa Annals demand of surren-
der the immortal reply:-..General Taylor neve
surrenders I'll fight them in spite Of Mr.. Polk
and his pIans!' This is somewhat new YER
sion of the reply, and am afraid that the gen.
tleman has been misled as to the latter part OF
1t. General Taylor is too good soldier ever
10 have used such language. 1t must be mis-
take. And while am on this subject, though |
am 10th TO deprive the orators OF The opposite side
OF any of their thunder, may as well say that
it is exceedingly doubtful whether the Genera!
ever made use Of The fist par OF The reply either,
or whether any one ever used it in his behalf
The words were put in The mouth OF Lieutenant
Critenden. They are, am lold, The property
and invention OF my imaginative and ingenious
friend, Judge Walker, OF the Della, who wrote
The frs, accoun, of the battle published in this
city, and therein, rather drew upon his fancy for
the lille embellishments of The great event."
