The ,0lig press and Mr. Waiksr-Arehb,shop Hughes
and Kossuh. -Dsayth Of Ns.os-Rsfsetions Ms re-
suh Of The iaie election.
The wing press of this city has come down upon AIR
walker IN the most savage terms One calls him the
" Confidence Man abroad" and another the American
representative of the Mesyeophant family This is but
natural; he is seemingly irenching upon their own
ground-he is extending the hand of cordiay and good
fellowship 10 Great Britain and the British government
has ever been the model OF the wings and British innu
their guide. Their jealousy groundess however
for Mr. Walker is addressing himself TO the British
people, and not TO The British government; 10 the count
less millions of the democracy OF England and not TO the
arsocacy and il is barely possible that his presence
and his teachings may conduce and that IN no small de-
gree. 10 the material modification OF those principles
which have long excited the admiration of the wings,
by suggesting additional motive for the extension OF
the elective franchise 10 the and the consequent
enlargement of the OF freedom upon British soil
The idea OF uniting Great Britain and the United States
in sentiment and in action in defence Of liberal opinions
is grand The prospect of seeing the two great
Ang Saxon nations standing shoulder TO shoulder TO
oppose the march Of despolsm, and 10 vndcae every
where the rights OF oppressed humanity against those who
would rample them under foot, is most inviting
but before England associate herself with us for
such high and holy purposes. she must break the ties
which connec, her with the crowned despos of the
neni, and burst the bonds which, since feudal times.
have cramped the aspirations and confined the energies OF
her people. That immense majority OF the popu-
a,ion of the British isles would gladly join in uphold
ing and advancing the OF civil and religious liberty
throughout the world, we have not the shadow of a.
doubt but, before they could do so, would be
sary for them 10 obtain their political rights and we
know OF no time more pIopious than the present, and
circumstances advantageous than those which
now transprng, for The securing OF boon so just and
so invaluable.
Meanwhile let the W hgs abuse Mr. Walker, exercis.
ing, for their sakes, due caution nevertheless, lest
they abuse him into the presidency. We regret much
deeply to see that Archbishop Hughes, the oc-
casion OF meeting in behalf OF the Irish Catholic Uni
versy, sanctioned misconcepton OF the sentiments
expressed by Kossuih concerning the British government
The great Hungarian addressing the people, and not
the government of Great Britain. II would have been
most indicate in him 10 have pretended 10 find fault
with The government of which the British people are
proud however that government might have fallen short
Of its duty the whole part of these people, OF whom
he was the guest.
We have nothing or strange 10 talk about in this
city European and Pacific arrivals have got 10 be every
day affairs and murders, and the consequent executions,
place any longer 10 attract attention We
have not done discussing the election however, and the
turn the matter the better satisfied
with the result. As to our State ticket, have been
successful beyond our expectations.
You that the reunion OF the democratic party
was brought about by mutual concession and compro
mise. The majority of the party asked nothing but a
recognition OF the pure, original democratic points OF
faith they willing 10 give up for this all the Offices
and bonorsin Short all that in vulgar parance is called
the spois-because the election merely local one
il regarded the State ticket The minority, though they
acted with considerable magnanimIty in allowing
era good men, did impose upon usone two pretty hard
cases, as if by way Of testing sincerity and, if this
was their object they have every to be satisfied
| The democracy-those OF them who took the field
marched up in solid column, and threw their accord
ing 10 agreement regardless of personal preferences
repusnances Thousands, ii is true, who took part in
the reunion or the election stayed at home; but hoss
who voted, almost TO man, voted the regularly nom
mated ticket This is manifest from the fact that all the
democratic candidates received about the number oil
votes Those who beaten lost their election because
the Union Committee supported their especial opponents
and thus gave them majority Here again we have an
instance where virtue is lis reward By faithfully
observing our agreement have cemened the union
the party and elected of faithful, valuable and rep
ulable State officers, who will control the canal board,
and through it, the principal financial interests OF The
Statewide, providentally, without any action Of
own we spared the dsagreeabe consequences which
might have resulted from the entire OF under
taking, H.
