To the Editor of the Union
Cheerily friends, cheery the work goes bravely
on Renewed enthusiasm has seized upon the democratic
party since the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania The
asonlshing-l may say astounding victory in the first
causes every democrat to feel at least inch taller and
It has endeared the brave spirits of that gallant young
State to every republican heart The mpetuous Weller
the noble Allen, the keen-sghted Medary, and host OF
others, have won for themselves mperishable fame this
contest. About Pennsylvania, in no way trou-
bed Our partial defeat caused solely by overcondence
will not cast down, but only nce to renewed and great
err efforts in the coming election Every combination I'M

glorious In the latter State the gallant Gen Pearce has
taken the stump, and these Mexican wings are the very
characters he is fond of getting hold Of he lately gave
good evidence in Mexico
The most amusing things of the day with us are the
gloomy fluctuations of the wings, and their heart rend

them, and you hear him chuckle at least half block
while the Tylerites-beg pardon, Taylorites-
look enOuph (YrpplpV bOots and all
into monster pickle
Greeley in this article, appeals personally to the free
soiers to vote for Taylor, while he himself damns him
