Observation-Disclosures.


We might very easily fill several columns
WIN reflections uuon certain Transactions
connected with the late canvass; its results
and the consequences likely TO flow there
from. But we iorbcar, for the present. nj
least, until tie full returns shall be received.
Suffice it now TO say that the bad faith cX-
hibited by Two of our candidates on the State
Ticket, in declining without any sufficient,
or even plausible reason assigned, lust upon
The eve of the election and the ready acuui-
cscence of certain of Our fiends in ihe de-
clination, and their publicly ayowed purpose
OF sustaining portion of one of the bunker
tickets, has done much, in our judgement, TO
weaken confidence in the Free Soil State or.
ganizalion, and in the stability of the party
generally. The position of Mr.. Chase may
have weakened us some. the course of Ger
tam others who rcnain with MS, aud are loud
est IN condemnation of Scneaior Chase ac-
tion, IN our humble judgement has injured
us more. Common sense would seem to
dictate, that it 1t is worth willie to have an
organization, and an independent Ticket at
nll, the integrity of that organization, should
be faithfully preserved, aud good faith should
bc Kept with the sincere aud stable men who
support the ticket. Intelligent voters cannot
tie played with like mcn upon the chess
board. Any attempt, therefore, to wrench
suddenly aside n portion OF ticket, that
some benefit may iuurc to another party.
VIII lnvaribly lnii, and at the same timc work
a forfeiture of confidence, aud Introduce n
weakening and destructive element. Tho
Free Soil organization has not come out OF
the late contest scathless.
In our humble judgement, unless we have
better engineering for the future, the free
soil party has already cast its largest vote
IFS grand clinGttcric has bccen passed and
iis dCcadcucc has commenced. Aud all this,
not from any lack in the purify or strength
of its principles, hut from the want of conf
dcnce, colercuce, aud pcrseycring unity OF
action among its members. But we fOrhcnr.
What we have said, has been in sorrow, not
in anger. Our principles are MS dear as ov-
er--in them we haze mistaken confidence
TO them we urc unnltcrably attached. Oi
their finnl triumph we have not a Doubt
But in what form, or by what specific in
strumcntaiiy they will triumph we cann OF
now pretend TO guess.
lfBrothcr Hall and other Free Solcrs will
make the dissemination and asccndcncy OF
free principles the object of their labor, aud
not tie number of votes, they would have
less occasion for the discouraging "reilcc-
iions" in which they indulge.
Thanbgirn7.-Goy. Wood, has followed the
example of his brother Governor, and appoint.
cd the last Thursday of November as Thanks
giving day.
G13i Idrice.-Thc Homestead Journal Of this
week, gives the following advice, dcduccd from
the results Of the late election:
The Free Soil party should learn lesson
from these results. They should remember
that they have yet proftcd by Il union
with hunkerism or conservatism, in any one
instance; hut on the contrary, have in nearly
every union Of the kind, not only suffered de-
feat, bot have weakened their integrity in the
public estimation, aud laid themselves open
to the charge of INCONSISTENCY.
