MEssRs EpIroRs.-The wings are q happy
set of fellows. They have lost Pennsylvania :
in the general election for State officers, by
some eight or ten thousand majority, yet their
spirits arise and come to the contest again
They even contend, that, Mr. Fiimore's ad-
surrounded by unparalleled pop
ularity.' Truly wing popularity, is "unbound-
ed" for, in no state this fall where elections
pnrallelled" defeat, in every instance. Geor-
gia has even exceeded herself, in her large ma
jority for her able and 'Union" loving Governor
HOWELL COBB Mississippi also has declar'
ed she will sustain the ndomitable and sou.
stirring elo quence of Mr. FL FoorE. South
Carolina too, has come into the "Union vote.
And, even. Ohio has eclipsed them all, in sus
tanning Judge WooD, the present able, and tru |
ly democratic union Governor, by giving him
re- election, by near twenty thousand majority |
These elections show pretty plainly. the Gun
paralrled popularity" brought to bear in favor
OF ihT.F 1iIIloTc. II SUCH pCtui NV,
what will i, be when Congress viii have report
cd on the Cuban Proclamation, the murder OF
our people by the Span,ards, the conduct OF
Consul Owen, the Gardiner claim, the Mexican
comm ssion, and the recipients of the boun
ty distributed, and various other frauds;
guess when these are made known by Congress,
the unparalleled popularity" of Mr.. Fill
more will be pretty much OH the wane, taking
this falls returns as sample of his Populari-
ty.
Gen Scorr has been knocked ohigh and
dry by the returns from Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA. Indeed, it is conjectured, that, Mr.. Sew

disturb the late settlement of the measures,
that, so happily have brought peace TO most of
the States. But he and Gen Scott will fail |;
the arilators every where will be defeated and

against the availability of Gen. Scott. 81 far

e The President has issued another Proclama

e boys. The outbreak along the line of the nor
Q thern States Of Mexico, is likely to be more

e belgerent, in declaring those engaged in th'
J. ..hunt," so completely out Of the protection

cuban difficulty is by no means settled. Atone

:. says, he has accepted. lisa pity we had no

at least have stood by his countrymen, ant
saved their lives. As it was, we had 'chn

void Of feeling, as his ideas were devoid of hui

Mr. Webster, it is stated by the New Yorl
Courier will be the Wing candidate for the
Presidency We regret this very much, hav
ing changed our opinion Of Mr.. Webster, we
were DESTROYS he should not assmnlate any lon

among them, that party affinity has destroyed
his usefulness politician, and if he canno
join the republican party, he should at least rs
chew whggery, and with them longer bt

Lord Palmerston, the Foreign Secretary o
f Great Britain, has written letter to our Gov
/ eminent, IN the Cuban matters. Report says
!, that NJ Crittcnden the Acting Secretary o
t State has answered tn" letter in pretty caus
! tic manner, telling my Lord and his Govern
ment, that they had better mind their owl
S home affairs, and not be meddlinG in matters il
which they are not concerned. | hope repor
is true for If it is, Mr.. Ctitenden will be sus
tanned by the Nation and pretty unanimously
This Cuban business is not done yet, will
it be, until full atonement is made for the con
f duct OF Concha and the murders he ordered.
