The Elections in Massachusetts,.

The unheard of combination of event.
which aided in the defeat of the Wings in the
Presidential Election seems TO have spent iii
force, and the Wing party is again rising
with that potency that has for some years
past won for 1t victories IN States and in the
nation, United, the Wing party in con.
tested national election is able to cope with
and to defeat the lucotocns; but when it i.
loaded down with eNtrancous questions a. in
the case of the election of Polk, and later, in
that of Pierce, not only di,idcd but weaken
ed b. the Cuban mania and other uniortu-
nate circumstances, defeat follows as it Inev-
tably would any other party in like circun,-
stances. In Il fair, open handed contest, there
is very little difference in the strength of the
two great parties of the Union. Our oppo-
nents understand this, and brought in the
Texas question in 1911. To elect Mr. Polk and
at the late election, the "compromise meas

VI EXICO.

This miserable country is disturbed in all
its parts. from the capital to its remotcst
boundaries. The Treasury is bankrupt. the
officials are corrupt. and men no better are
STRIVING to dlsplace them that they NAV, if
possible, gather few crumbs from the small
dripTlngs that find their way from time to
time into the Golfers of the nation. Petty he
rocs are rising up in all directions and the
capital even is, or has been. menaced. The
borders are harassed by Indians, and the
Government is so impotcnt as to be incapable
of keeping them at bay.
Poor, miserable, peace orsaken country. The
people are incapable of taking care of them
selves, and no one among them is tvrant or
hero enough to guide them in the WAYS of
peace. Santa Anna ruled them of late better
than any body else has done, and in the nres-
ent dlsordered state of the country they are
looking for him back again. or he is LOOKING
for restoration. we do not know which In
less delvcrer soon appears the country will
be rent into fragments. This would be ac.
counted a disaster, for some of them m;obt
look with wishful eyes towards annexation to
this country. The mixing of Mexicans AMONG
our people we deem to be about as desirable
as the toot-rot among sheep.

VI MASSACHUSETTS,,

There was An election in Massachusetts OF
Monda, to AL three vacancies in the prcscn,
Congress occasioned bv death and nine ior
the next Congress where there was no choice
at the REGULAR election in November. The
Wings elected FAY in Rantoul's District. Sa-
hine in Thomp>on'S District. and the Coal-

next Congress the Wings elected Scudder in

Winfield Scott received the vote of four
States. the aggregate Electoral vote of which
numbers tortv-two electors. Bv change of
the number of votes which are above estimate
ed As forming one halt the majority in the
twelve States enumerated, t!educ:ng them
from the tally of Gen. Pierce and adding them
t" that OF Gen. Scott, the Electoral votes Of
tho~- States. one hundred and eight in num-
btT. would faridr'l to the tortv-two Scott cleo
tors chosen-) make the Electoral votes for
''enera scott one hundred and fifty; and
had the votes III those States been SO varied
would have secured his election to the of.
tlce OF President. Estimating the aggregate
number of voters in all the States at three
million five hundred thousand, it is apparent
. that change nfi"-- than one vote IN hun
drcd ("n" per cent. Of the aggregate popular
vote might have been sufficient to give the
victory to the Wings Instead OF their oppo-
nentS.
When, then, we take into view the cir
cumstances which combined to bring about
the result of the Election. what is there in it
to defect the Wings, or to induce them to
doubt of the substantial hold which their prin-
cipleS have upon the affection and confidence
of the People,? Still less does this state of
facts justify any dependency as to the future.
1t is not the first time the Wings have been
beaten when confident of success The de-
feat of Mr. Clay, the Wing candidate in 1874.
was much more astounding than that of our
candidate at the late election: and vet. in
1913, the Wings rallied to the rescue. and by
a triumphant majority placed their candidate.
in the Presidential chair. What has more
than once heretofore happened may happen
AGAIN; and once more, under resolution gath
cred from defeat, the Wings may march to
victory.

the word. But as all nations agreed to hano

and are getting it stuck upon part of the
people OF the United States Flvbuster is
now becoming political designation in our

OF the old English done into Flibustier by the
French into Flibustero by the Spanish and
done back INTO English in the significant and
kindred appellation of Flybuster."
