Il he prospect.

The prospect.
! Iii natural enough that the Democrats
should rejoice at the results OF the elections
i'm Indiana, Ohio, and Ptnnsy lvania, and we
have no fault to find with them for their re-
joiciDgs, but, il they expect the Wings to des-
pond or ialtcr, they are very badIy-deceived
set OF fellows. We have not seen Whig,
and we do not believe there is Wing, whose
courage or confidence il even shaken. Tle
three States, which voted on Tuesday, did
not DO as we'll as as the Wing party had OK
pected they would, bet we never proiessed to
have much knowledge as to what they were
likely to do in their local elections. II was
almost universally conceded that they would
90 fer the Democratic candidates, but we had
! little, very little Information as to what the
majortles were likely TO be. AL that we
proIessrd to feel sure of in regard to them was
that they would vots. for Gen. Scott OH the
81 of November.
! The expectation of the Wings Of Indiana,
Ohio. anu Pennsylvania that their Stats
would Vote for Scott has been not been based
upon the supposed strength oil tue Wing To-
cal Candidates in those States but entirely
upon the we'll known enthusiasm felt for Gen.
Scott. 1t has been based upon the knowl-
ed re of tue fact that Gen. ) cUtt has a strength
far beyond any strength that the Wing party
can put orth, especially in local elections
The same ground, the same firm and substan-
tiul grouni, OF expectation and confidence re-
mains. thousands and thousands that, in
ach Of the three States which voted On Tues
lday, went for Democratic candidates, and
thousands and thousands OF those who stayed
at home and did not vote at all, will vote for
Scott on the first Tuesday in November-v Jte
for him not particularly because he is a Wing
but because they love him and admire him Tor
his pure and noble character, and because, as
American citizens, they feet grateful TO him
Tor the glory which S deeds have shed upon
the American name.
We cannon know that General Scott will
elected to the Pres .dency, but we are co"f-
dent that he will be, and we are sure that our
confidence is shared by all the true Wings Of
the nation, not one Oh whom will permit his
exertions TO be paraiyz ed or weak ned even in
the slightest degree by any apparently unto
ward incidents that II I'VE occurred or tn at shall
occur before the great day Of trial. W. are
sure that thc people vi the United States pre-
fer Whit I'D Scott TO Franklin Pierce; that
they feel infinitely more love, admiration, aud
enth usiasm iOr the former than for the latter;
that they have the most uabounded confidence
IN tne Ilustrious chieltalD Who has served mis-
country faithfully and gioriously from early
youth TO venerable age; and we feel scarcely
the shadow of lear that they will disappoint
our high and glowing expectations on the i'm
portant dav, now SO near az hand, which Is to
decide the national destiny = Lou. Jour.
