demonstrations are not confined 10 New York
city alone. Boston, as we'll as other large
cities, has its disaffected wings, as has been
demonstrated by the recent vote there-all Of
which goes TO show that this northern nominal
ton talked of, would not even unite the wing
strength of the north, to say nothing of draw
ing off Democratic votes
The fact is, the settlement Of the slavery
question by the passage of the Compromise
acts, has redounded TO the credit of the demo-
cratic party, and to the discontinue Of the
wing parry, and the explanation of this is con-
tanned in nutshell. While the action Of the
democratic party, in its natural organization,
has ever. been in perfect harmony with the
maintenance the Compromise measures, the
past action of the wing party, in its State and
national organizations, has been Numerically
opposed to it-and this is the real reason why
the settlement of this question has affected the
two parties with such different effect tQi sGe
The doom of the wing party, if not now
written, will most assuredly be, when it is
forced into the movement prognosticated above.

The Recent Elections.

The fall elections in the several States, that
unusual interest, and their results are full of
CALCULATIONS and promise to the democracy
The contest, in some instances, has been against
fearful odds, but it has all resulted alike disas-
lrous to whiggery. In Pennsylvania. the de-
mocracy took decided ground, and it was un-
certain whether it could successfully withstand
all the isms that were concentrated against it.
In Ohio, the democracy had to stand their
own footing, and combat its well organized
and willy opponents of the wing and free soil
parties. Although the latter party was more
favorably inclined TO the nominees of the de-
mocracy, they adhered to their party organi-
cation, and the democrats came out of the fight
unaided and alone, ahead of every thing In
New York, the democracy have made large
gains, and nearly redeemed the State, although
the wings had powerful argument to harp
upon, and to apply to the self-interests of la
borers in the canal enlargement question
With this question out of the canvass, as it
will probably be another year, New York will
be safe for the democracy And in cid fed
eral Observation-Disclosures strong hold of whig-
gery-the wings have suffered another pretty
essential route. When the State Reform party
succeeded there last year, the whig press an
nounced, with the utmost assurance that their
existence was short lived one. This year
they put in nomination their strongest man,
confidently predicting that he would so in
,cih a rush-but the popular vote is larger
against him than against the nominee of the
previous year. 1t matters little to US which
party succeeds there-the State is strongly
federal, and we had acceded to then. the
power-but it seems that they have not old
Massachusetts,, even, left them
1t is unnecessary to say in conclusion, that
the democracy nerer stood better to enter ma
tional canvass, than at the present moment
Victory has already perchcd upon our banners

Right Of Suffrage in England.

A late English paper asserts that Lord John
Russell is about to introduce another Reform
bill, for the extension of suffrage The ten
pounds rent qualifications will be lowered, and
an educational test, apart from the occupation
of houses, is to be established. Clerpymen,
lawyers, merchants, literary men, clerks, ''the
higher orders Of mechanics" &C., will be ad-
'mitted 20 suffrage without land We were
about 10 express qualification at what might be
very considerable extension of freedom in the
old country; but the ''lberality'' of the move
ment is materially dwindled by the suggestion
that the whole number added to the present
voters by the proposed bill will only be 2OO,-
600 persons. The present number of voters in
England and ireland is 500, 1000; and will be
raised by the bill TO million. The whole
number of the adult males in the population is
about six millions. One in six is to be a voter
Before it was one in seven and half. And
even this small concession SO inadequate TO the
just demands of the people, will be streuuously
resisted and thousands of aristocrats will
dread it as step towards the subversion of the
established order of the State. The roots of
the monarchy and aristocracy must have struck
very deep in country, where such small
concession as this can be called an important
enlargement of the right of suffrage.

Hon. James Buchanan.

The Martinsburg (Va.} Republican follows
the example ofalnumber Of democratic papers
in Virginia, and declares for This great states
man for the presidency. It hangs out the flag
Of James Buchanan for president, and John b.
Floyd, the present noble governor Of Virginia.
for vice-president. The editor speaks of Mr.:
Buchanan as follows -
''Mr. Buchanan is well known to the whole
nation as one of the most able, learned and dis
tinguished statesmen of which our coup;ry- can
boast. His long, brilliant and patriotic career
in both Houses of Congress, in the most criti-
cal times of the republicans great ability in
the cabinet and in fact in every political sta
ton in which he has served, have pointed him
out as one peculiarly fitted for the highest Of
flee in the gift Of a free people. The favorite
son of the old keystone State" which has
stood shoulder to shoulder with Virginia since
the days of the revolution, will meet and re-
ceive warm and triumphant support from
Virginians, and indeed from the South, who at
this moment are looking at him with all eyes
intent, as he stands like mighty barrier to
ward off and roll hack the tide of north
ern fanatacism which is endeavoring TO en-
gulf the Constitution and the Union. That
he is the favorite Of the Virginia democ-
racy we have not doubt, and that the choice
Of Virginia will be endorsed by the south, we
have as little doubt. We are satisfied that he
is strong with the democracy of the nation,
and his nomination once fairly made TO the ma
ton, his election is certain. But as we shall
have frequent occasion to refer to this distin-
guished citizen, we for the present forbear to
say more
A late number of the Mobile (Ala.) Daily
Register, formally renews its pledge in favor
of Mr.. Buchanan. The distinguished states
man Of the Keystone State has won for himself
in long course of public service proud posi-
ton in the democratic party, in the eyes of the
world, and in the page of history. The noble
commonwealth which he has served so long,
so faithfully and so well, may well look to him
as leader in the great conflict Of 1852. He
stands prominently forth as one of those who
may be selected as the standard bearer in the
contest. With such statesmen as Cass, Bu-
chanan, Douglass, Butler and Dickinson, the
great democratic party can be at no loss for
want of the material for the race"

WIG SENTIMENT IN VIRGINIA. The Peters
burg Intellisencer, thorough whig paper,
after noticing the Syracuse outrage, and CEN
surfing the free sellers and abolitionists, EN-
ploys the following strong language.
+" We say in all seriousness, that if the Gree
leys and the Bryants and kindred scribes at
the North continue to soil their sheets with
the nauseating, vile illusions about Southern
property and Southern people. which they are
now almost daily publishing and circulating, It
will not be very long before they will have 9TH
er labors to undergo; for we will tell them,
and the whole Northern section of the Union,
that it will not take many repetitions of the
Christiana and Syracuse scenes to call together
Southern Congress ,chich riH represent the
unanimous sentiments and feelings of all the
s!arehoiiing States, and tciH be clio thed ih po,c-
er to frame a ne,c Confederacy.'
We would commend the above to the atten-
ton of those wing papers in our State that oc-
casionaly affirm that their party is all right at
the South.

(" A Gone Case :"

The New York Mirror-one of the firmc.t
editor of which holds an Office of special trust
and responsibility under the federal govern
ment, thus candidly acknowledges the corn:
ave 90 not hesitate to hazard the assertion
that the Wings stand no chance of success on
the old party platforms. Gen. Taylor never
could have been elected as an ultra Whig."-
The victory in 1913 was won by the aid of al
lies, who rushed from the ranks of conscrva-
tives, democrats and independents, and rallied
under the Rough and Ready banner. The
statement that without such reinforcements
the Wigs would have been defeated, is read

wiliuily blind to the fact. Is The Wing party

The same paper is also DOWN on its party
for its notorious Io,odyism. According to the
Mirrors account, our wing friends may jeap-

said IS plain spoken man, but he represents
his friends to be worse set of fellows than we
