Proclamation of last April, that "young
and inconsiderate were especially in dan
ger of being seduced into the schemes of
the Cuban conspirators," has turned out
to be literally true. Oh the hundred and
sixteen victims sent prisoners TO Spain
fifty-one are ascertained to be of the age
of % years and under, down to the age
of 16; and of the whole number only
eighteen are above the age of 80 years.

that it is unnecessary, and further re-
marks:
1--WE have seen no evidence that the

On the contrary, they regard the present
incumbent of the Executive chair as
fully entitled to their confidence by his
conduct in the most trying period OF the
nations history. Among those wings OF
the United States who are determined 10
support the constitution and the conpro.
mise, the course and character of Mr..
Fillmore are regarded with unqualified
admiration aud confidence. aud the de-
sire is universally felt TO continue him IN
the Executive chair. Among those wing
who would sacrifice the constitution and
the compromise for party triumph. there
may be different preferences. but We
would sooner be controlled by The choice
of constitution-lovimg democrat, than
an anti-compromise wing.
Such are our feelings aud such ou'
sentiments. Indeed we have no idea

the democratic Candidate. Mr.. BigIef. We
are not disappointed at the defeat of
Johnston, we expected it and rejoice over
it as affording an evidence of The patriot
ism of the wings of Pennsylvania, who
refused to vote for the whig candidates
because he was tainted with free soilism.
The result in some of the strongest whis
districts in the States shows this fact.
The city of Philadelphia proper, where
there is a large whig majority, and where
his course in regard to the Christiana
outrage met with much condemna'
ton, gave very reduced majority. and
in Lancaster county, where the outrage
occurred, and where the usual whig ma
ioriry ranges from 3 to 900. he received
majority of 1900. We believe the
democratic candidate, Notwithstanding
he is the fast friend of Mr.. Wilmot, TO be
Esouuder than his opponent on the great
sectional. question which absorbs all
