The Commercial Editor of the New York

There is no state in the Union increasing

of the state, aud the growth of that city is a

the State treasury tot pay the postage Oh put.
lie documents in the post Office at the seat
OF government, and they were obliged to re.
main there. Since that time, new loan Of
81 900 has been made, the canal COM
pleted, part Of the interest on the entire
debt Of the state paid semi-annually, the
whole Of the interest on the new canal loan
has been promptly paid, and one hundred
thousand dollars on account Of the principal.
Sales of canal laud TO the amount Of $780,

the canal this year will be more than one

What Have the Wig. Gained.

How will Gen. Taylor get along at the
head Of the government? What have the
wings accomplished by his election? One
house of congress certainly, and most pro-
baby both, will be opposed 10 the Wing par
~. So they can never pass any Of their
great measures. And ihcnthsy made Cen.
Taylor pledge himself not TO veto any bill
SO they can defeat no creatdemUoratic mea
sure. The great National bank project is
as dead aS ever; the sub.treasury remains
untouched; the tariff can be brought down
to the loves, no. protection, frce-tiade stan
dnrd; ana distribution must remain in SiGtu
quo. So far, then, as measures are con
cerncd, the wings gain nothing, But we
will get the Offices, say they. This was TN
doubtedly the chief motive for the nomina-
ton Of a man without principles; but will
they succeed? Taylor stands pledged before
the country in a hundred letters, that he
will never consent TO be the president OF a
party-,hat he will be the president Of the
people aud that in the exercise Of the exc
cutive powers Of the government he will ut
tery disregard party distinctions. How,
then, under such pledges, can he remove
democrats from office and appoint wings in
their places? We wish the wings joy Of
their victory, but we shall be little surpri.
sed if, year hence, they are ready TO swear
with Greedy, that the Tayloriza,ion of Tie
wing party has not paid.

One thing is now very evident. II il had
not been for the Free Democracy, Cass
would have been elected beyond all ques-
tom Chicago CiIi-en.
IIurrah for the side that beats! The claim
which the abolitionistS row put forth of ha.
wing elected Taylor, the southern slavehol-
der, over northern man, and their clio.
rying in it, reminds us Of fight we once
saw between couple of school boys. Two
boys were walking along very cozly, and
appeared 10 he on excellent terms. A third
boy, a big mouthed, saucy scamp, join
ell the party, and soon suco eeded in pick
ing quarrel with one Of the boys, aud in
minute the two pitched into each other
rough and tumble. The third, who, in the
quarrel, had assumed a neutral position,
now as the fight progressed, appeared to be
greatly perplexed what 10 do. Now he
would stand and look on indiiferently-th
as one or the other cUmbatant got down. he
wonld give him kick, until finally, wh,n
one Of the boys said "enough, )" he ran up
to the victor and embraced him with tie
utmost ardor-''I knew we'd lick him !''he
said. "Ihat last kick gave him under
the fifth rib settled him" Ii is exactly so
with the aboltioniSts. Under pretence of
being immensely wiser than their genera
ton, they eschew the two great parties Of
the country, between whose principles they
are either too cowardly or stupid to choose,
aud dodge behind some one idea, whence
they squirt filth at both parties as they are
alternately up or down. until the election is
over, when they Immediately Iun up and
embrace the victors, whom they claim TO
h"'e Gevu aiding all the ume. 1t was so in
1911, when they claimed to have elected
Polk, the Texas annexatonist, over Clay,
who opposed annexation; aud it is so again,
when they claim 10 have elected Taylor.
Now, the truth is, if the whole abolition
party had, Oh the 9th day of November,
ISIS, been sunk in the bottom OF the sea,
and never man Of them cast a vote in the
''' VIZ i'SN'b VI Nit titlllhD
would have been precisely as it is. Not an
electoral vote in the whole Union would
have been changed. Or if the democratic
party had adopted their platform and asso-
Citations, and united with them, they would
have been beaten or the wings, they had
done the same thing, would have been bea.
ten. They conld help, they could hurt no.
body-ther did help, they did hurt nobody.
We can stand it when our free soil friends
talk about having advanced the great dis.
tinctive principle which they claim to have
at heart-w hen they claim that, by forcing
the subject upon the attention of the people,
and discussing it, they have so shaped pop
ular opinion tina, the introduction of slavery
into new territory hereafter is morally i'm
possible. These are matters which they
may take all the credit tor that any body can
be prevailed upon,o concede to them. But
that they made OF unmade president-or
in the least influenced the lssue-is prepos-
ferrous and absurd.

"Thc hostile attitude Of Col. Fremont and

each was in false position, seeming to be
what they were not. When Fremont pass
ed through St. Louis, on his way to Califor-

state of General Kearney's health, when on
the Missouri he lost his youngest child, and
was about parting with his wife, for the alb
sence Of many months, and the peris of the
mountains, he sent by her cuncliatory
message to Gen. Kearney, which was com
municated TO him among the last things of
earth which had power TO interest him. 1t
is pleasant to know, that these brave and
noble men, who will meet no more on earth,
have no deferred warfare TO be remembered
here, or to be carried up to the tribunal
