There is some apology for Great Britain
maintaining restrictions on trades and industry
because the policy originated in an unenlight
ened age. and became engrafted upon, and a
part OF her system of government; and it is
as difficult for nations as for individuals, and
more so, TO reform. So much of the capital and
labor of the nation have been SO long invested
under this false system of protection their train
of opinion has tloa,ed so long in that channel.
no wonder masses of the British population fret
under every relaxation of It's severity.
In the United States we have not the apology
of ignorance, of prejudice, of inrxperience, or
of vested interests, to justify restrictions or pro-
hibitions, or any approach to such system.
We cannot plead antiquity in justification of the
error. We sprung into existence at an enlight
encd period. Political economy had been re-
duced to an exact science, and Pitt and Turgot,
ministers of the most enlightened and most in
debted nations of the world, had both begun to
abandon the restrictive system, and to adopt
principle more consonant with the spirit and
commerce of the age,
Without the machinery of custom houses, or
the curse of contrabandism, we have achieved
our independence, and outstripped oil precedent
IN the career of progress and prosperity We
had the fist opportunity that ever presented it.

Mr. Books has hard time VI it betweel

party. While Mr.. MANouM pours personal ex
plantations into him on behalf of the SoutherI
SCOTT men, the New York Times the SEwARI

at the meeting on Monday night, was one pro

sat upon his soul like an incubus. His Clio ing
Imagination teemed with visions of rising black

him; and he seemed to be pIunging like mad

Mr.. Fillmore's nomination was necessary 10
avert negro deluge. Three millions of negroes
would come to the North And the disastrous
results of such an exodus were thus wildly pre-
scented by this member of Congress from the
city of New York -

colored man must go up. You must 90 to the
mayor, and make him license the negro to drive
his cart through the streets, and not keep this
business as monopoly for the whites. You
must take the hod off the Irishman's shoulder
and put it on the Africans head. You must
give the forepane, the hammer, the knife, to the
African, as well AS to the white. Your paint

We understand that certain busy political
pottsrs and reorganixers have protested much
holy horror and virtuous indignation at the posi-
ton and propositions of the Southern Press in re-

per diem and mileage without conjunction !; and
the most noisy among them, when the compro-
mise was on the tapis, believed Wapoies maxim
that every man had his price, was very wise

THE RESULT.

By reference 10 the Official Abstract, as
published in to.day's paper, our readers
will see that democrats have been elected
to fill all the Offices, except Commissioners.
Mr.. Ford, Free.soiler has been reelected
to that office. .9FH
1t is astonishing not only to us, but we
believe to a majority Of our democratic
friends, that a wing was not elected to the
Office Of Clerk. There were five demo.
cratic candidates and but one wing, and
yet two democrats lead the whig. W.
hope the democracy may never run anoth-
er such risk. 1t is moro attributable to
good luck than good management that a
democrat succeeded to that office.

WING DESPERATION.

Nothing could so clearly show the bit.
ter consciousness felt by every whig, of the
disaster Of last Tuesdays result upon
SCOTS prospect for success. as the follow.
ing silly paragraph in the Journal of to-
day:
In 1848 Gov. Johnson, a popular man.
was elected Governor by only 997 major
ity IN October, and in November General
Taylor swept the State, by 1854 major
ity. Gen. Scott is vastly more popular in
that State, than was Gen. Taylor, and it
is manifest at a glance, that in November
next, he will carry the State by a very
large majority. <
The idea that Pennsylvania will go for
Scott. is just as contemptibly ridiculous, as
is the argument here used to bolster it up.
Pennsylvania, we have no doubt, now
goes Democratic by at least 10000. Yet
the Journal says that prores she will go
for Scott-because Taylor carried her af.
she had elected a lohig' Governor of the
same year!
Ohio. Pennsylvania, and Indiana. will
just as surely 60 for Pierce and King. as
November comes. The wings see it writ
ten on the wall. The UNANIMOUSLY insin.
cere pretensions Of a hope Of sccess on
the part Of the wings, is the c~learest pos
sible demonstration that that party foresee
their utter overthrow neat at hand.

Gov. Shannon's majority for Congress

We did intend to say something about
the vile ISLANDERS put in circulation against
Gov. Shannon on the eve Of the election.
But his triumphant election has so effsc-
tually pat to shame his traducers that it is
rendered unnecessary.
In Gov. Shannon's own township, in
Belmont county, which usually gives .
wing majority, he received at the late
election, M votes more than his oppo.

the charges made against him ere wholly

WIG SPEECHES.

Of wing speeches last evening-one from
B. S. Cowen, Esq, and the other from

And we were forcibly struck withthe idea,
during the delivery Of Mr.. Gov ems speech,
that he has imbibed the notion that the
people OF this county, needed to be en-.
lighted by his superior wisdom-that it
was necessary for some person, all the
way from Belmont county, to tell US that
Gen. Scott was a great General-that he
had successfully fought the battles of our
common country with Great Britain and
in Mexico. Well, we all knew that; and
we also know that Gen. SCOTS being a
great General does not necessarily qualify
him to manage the political affairs Of this
country. He stands at the head Of his

that, to use the expression of a wing. 'his
