No.C7.
The Election.

The four months party struggle for place and
power is at an end. The Wings are defeated, pro-
baby with an overwhelming rout. Freedom has
lost nothing by the defeat. Slavery had the pow
erof enforcing her will alike over both parties.
Every right-mindcd and right-hcartcd freeman
ear feel only regret, not that the Wings arc de-
feated, but that the Democrats are successful
Under the plant temper and experienced ser
Witty Of General Pierce, the rule of slavchold-
ers will be absolute, for the next four years.
Their will is to be done, not "iu heaven above"
but through all this earth beneath, so far as
their reckless will and the subsorvioncy Of
the government can mutually accom- pish it,
To secure their success, they openly cast
away all truth, principle and justice They
were the unconccalod and uncompromisng adj.
vocaies of despotsm. to which they acknow-
lcdgcd themselves willing vassals Willing,
not only to wear the yoke themselves, but
hopclessly to fix It upon millions Of others now
living. and upon the increasing millions of their
postcrity.
The Wings stultifying themselves by accept.
Ing the platform and then protesting anti.sla-
slavery principles, secured for themselves the
brand of hypocricy in one section Of the Union,
without attaining the confidence Of the other.
Reckless Of truth, liberty, and justice, they are
righteously ovcrthrown. The Wings had bet
Ter disband Success in obtaining the power of
the government is what they seek. This, to
them, is hopeless. They have not the elements
OF success within their organization. So dcs-
peratc venture as the ctcrnzing of slavery
with freedom, demands n heaven, Garth and
hell Gciying boldncss in villainy, to which Wing
genius is utterly inadequate, however willing
may be its heart. That heart willingness no
one will question, who has witnessed the da-
abolism of the party during the present cam
paign. The cowardly conservatism of the whig
party always kccrs it hchind hand in its bids
for jobs of daring viliany, while its native hy-
pocricy leads it to make false professions to the
North, pnd thus looses it reward at the South
We do much desire that the party may learn
wisdom by its calamity, but VIC fear its stolidity
will be an over match for its lesson.
The Free Sellers generally, and in Northern
Ohio especially, have laborcd with most un.
tiring and heroic zeal. The election of Wade and
Giddings has been to them good reward, and
to freedom glorious triumph. What the mum
Der Of their votes may be for Hale, VIC do not
know, and we care much less than they, whcth-
or they be many or few, the great truths they
have preached, the important facts they have
spread before the community, is good seed for
frAoIo,, Wbnu lor & .;.;,
ssd away, it will bring forth fruit which shall
ripen to a harvest They have evidently felt
the embarrassment under which they have la.
bored in consequence Of tic concessions of their
platform to slavery, and we arc not without
hope that they will learn wisdom before they
build spothcr, and make their position imprcg-
nablc and unassailablc by refusing all conscs-
sions to slavery within the states, ms we'll as in
tho general government. Let them assault and
defy slavery everywhere, even as the slave
holders assault and defy liberty.
We repeat, they have laborcd nohly and |
faithfully in their position, and whatever the |
ballot box may decide so far ns they have been
the preachers of righteousness. they arc Me |
sucee'Vul party. and time will SO decide.
We give below the results of the election so
far as they have been received up to the time of
putting our paper to press.
by the last mail we learn that euay Stale
IN The Union srcept Vermont dnh Massachusetts
has gone for Pierce.
We eau give nothing certain IN regard TO
Majorilies. The Wings say Vermont will
give Scott n plurality Of l0,C00 aud Maso-
chusetts one of from 6000 to sO00
