the pAsr AND rHE PRESENT.

Seeing the desperate chance ofrallying their
party into the support of the New Hampshire
candidate, cur opponents are now practising
the game Of deception which they tried in
lS4S, and are endeavoring to cheer the droop-
ing spirits Of the rank and iile By boastfnl as
surances Of success. In order that the pub
lie may appreciate the value Of this sort Of
tactics, we take the occasion to revive some
Of the false prophecies which were issued by
the Washington Union, in l84S, in regard to
the general result and the prospect In this
State Just on the eve Of the Presidential cleo
ton Of that year:
This day week viii witness, as we most
confidently believe, the triumphant election OF
Lewis Cass and syiSiam O. Butler to two
highest Offices IN the ct Of the American
people. Never was the Democratic party
more justly proud of its position and II its
principles. Seldom. 10 the closing days Of
its previous political canvass. have its pros
poets been SO bright and cheering
y
1.-The real Democratic majority in Penn
sylyanla at the late election, is pat down at
1856 This is the true test of the late cleo
ton in the Old keystone" and sufficiently
indicates where the unfinchiug Democracy
will be found one week hence"
"We dismiss all doubts and fears to the
winds. When such spirit is excited as We
find from all accounts prevailing among our
brethren in Pennsylvaria, how can her De
mocracy be beaten?
awe are informed, too, BY letters from va,
riocs parts of tie State, that the keystone
Of tiae republican arch stands fast"
Such we're the confidence expressed, and
the pledges given, only one week before the
election of Gen Taylor. The metropolitan
organ proclaimed the triumphant election
of Cass and Butler throughout the Union, and
an equally satisfactory result in Pennsylvania,
where they were defeated by majority Of
nearly fourteen thousand votes. Let these
facts be borne in mind when Locofoco prints
brag as they are now doing, for political eff
feet, and as a last resort to sustain the cour
age of their fear stricken friends.
Winfield Scott was never yet vanquished by
the enemies of his country, and he Cannot be
defeated now, by those who have conspired
with British interests to rivet sys-
TEN of foreign policy by which American
labor may be degraded and deprecated His
star is the star of victory. Let it cheer the
doubtful and Inspire the brave to increased
effort.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT.

This monument, it IS stated, is now about
lis feet high; and will reach 100 feet at the
close Of the present season. The funds raised
in various ways by voluntary contributions,
we regret to learn, are falling short, and the
structure cannot be carried up unless more
enthusiastic aud public spirited effort by the
American people be made. The proposed
contribution of half dime by each voter at
the coming Presidential election has been
generally approved of, and it is hoped will
everywhere be adopted. This contribution
it is estimated would yield some one hundred
and forty thousand dollars, and three cents
a head by every white inhabtant would be
sufficient to complete the Monument

AUSTRIAN DICTATiON.

Austria did not like the reception given to Kos
suth in the United States and, knowing her ina
biliy to punish this country for the act, she has
taken the mider course of sending here a charge
to regulate our elections. BY and by we may be
favored with visit by the butcher Haynau rem
dered famous by his hanging men and beating wo-
men. When foreign governments or officials take
part in our elections, it is time for the American
people to administer rebuke which shall prevent
such impudent interference for the future. - Bat

"aupAcIrY AND MESpACITYp

In relation to the NEGRO DRESSED IN THE
AMERICAN UNIFORM" we repeat all VIC said
last week. The last Republican says: "Now.
if the editor means merely to state that some
crazy negro dressed in old cast of militia uni
form was seen in the crowd on that day, the
fact may or may not be SO; and if so, 1t is a
spectacle Of no uncommon occurrence in any
Southern State. and of no significance what
ever" Now we did not mean that some
crazy negro dress ed in the old cast off
militia uniform was seen in the crowd Ne,
but zoe did mean and do mean just what we
then said, and what we no,o say, and can prove
by Dem ocratic authority. A NEGRO MAN
aoas dressed in american uniform be was
in the Democratic procession in Hagerstown,
on the 10Th inst. was driven in vehicle by
a white man. And this the editor Of the Re-
publican KNEW BEFORE be said ''the fact MAY
or may not be So HE KNEW IT WAS so, as be
has since acknowledged to US. We believe
the negro was taken out Of the procession,
when it was seen what the effect of his being
there would have this fact however was not
given TO US before We published what we said
last week. Now where. we ask, is the sup
preston Of the truth. Where is the false

says:

As the Opposition procession passed our

as one of its prominent features, spectacle

that the Opposition leaders. fearing the recoil,
