The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1850-10-18
From the boston Times.


The results OF the recent elections show that the party
that supported and elected General Taylor in S4s and
which was itself but the effect OF confluence OF fac,
tons. 10 fast breaking up The military fame of General
Taylor founded was on great and brilliant
TO the republic, had given consolidation 10 the mongrel
party that rallied under bis banner and had pleased
the and the soldier would have caused no small
number OF voters 10 support his administration, who
slider themselves as being under no obligation to support
and other bitter opponents OF that in which General
Taylor won his thickest laures. In no State in the
Union had General Taylor more friends out of the wing
party than in Pennsy he is dead, and the demo-
cratic party at the first election held IN Pennsylvania
bearing directly upon national politics, have gained eight
members q Congress and that too IL the face Of all the
through the workings Of the tariff OF 1885, that the wings
have been able to get up The wing party OF Pennsyl
for Zachary Taylor is surely extinct the lustr
Gus soldier for whom that vote was given. And there is
not man n the whg party who can Ds made laval
Pennsylvania may be regarded of the reliable
States for the next democratic candidate for the pres
dency
Ohio, il was thought by some, was certain TO wheel
back into the whig line, when the government passed
into such true wing hands as those which now hold it
She iei the whig party they asserted because that party
admired in Ohio for his military character and exploits
was not esteemed as politician: hence the State went
for General Cass IN is4s--lt would now be found all
straion was Thomas Corwin. This delusion has been
most pessy dspelled by the late State congressional
elections in Ohio wherein the wings have been pssra
ted with scarcely less force than marked their fall in
S4S The popular majority against them is counted by
thousands. This has surprised many people; but there Is
really nothing in il that should surprise any who is
acquainted with the Northwest That section OF the
country is essentially democratc and there is
hopeful thing in future than the fact that is the
only region that will gain whole under the new app
portionment OF electoral votes that will follow the com
plenon Of the national census now taking. Here and
there State may gain member or two but cluster
Of States will gain out of the Northwest. They all
soor the presidential election
Indeed everything will favor under the new appor
tonment we have only carry the States in 1852
that did in ls4s to elect national candidates. and
there s more reason Tor supposng that we shall gain back
some that we lost two years ago than that we shall lose
any that we then had.
The elections that are yet to take place will make as
New York has gone from whgery and Horatio Seymour
will be elected governor the base compound"
didae, Washington Hunt who is supported by dsunion-
lists and aDt-renersa charming state OF affairs for the
candidate OF the Conservative party in the great State OF
New York! There will, too, be general breakdown
among the wing congressman OF the Empire State. In
1S4S the wings carried 80 out OF the "a members of Con-
gress 10 which New York is entitled and the democrats
elected but one, the other being free. soiler This
thought great thing al that time and 80 was, we
then admitted with as much cheerfuness as we could
summon up to the confession But that very sweeping
will tell against them at the approaching election
The contrast between noU and then will be rghtful
The eyes and Of the tmd whigs" whereof there
goodly number in Massachusetts about these days,
the almanac tersey expresses it. The result OF the
our own-w be the most perfect specimen Of political
cataclysm that age has witnessed; and graft
fled that the wings preparing for II, though moi
as Noah prepared for the deluge.
