THE TRIUMpHs OF DEN ocRAcy.

We commend the following, from the Pennsylva-
man. the partcu attention of the Editor Of the
Raleigh Register:
"WHERE THE WHIes IN THE AscENDANr1
There are hry-one States and four Territories in this
nion And yet, in all this vast sisierhood of con-
iederaiIons-this family of Repubcs-this world of
Freedom of Progress, and of Equaiiy-the Wing
principles like the dove Of Noahs ark, has barely
place on which TO rest the sole of it's foot 1t has
entire control of but State in this broad Union
This is the State oil Vermont-the citadel of Free
Soilism, the very Gibraltar of sectionaiism where
the foes Of the Constitution to have made
last stand against the conquering legcns of the Ma
tonaI Democracy What contrast! How this
spectacle rebukes the past policy of the Wings!
How II prepares the future for the victories of De
mocracy
From ocean to ocean, the defeat of the Wing prn-
cEples has almost been determination. In MANY
of the old Wing forresses the Wings have managed
to retain partial power by denying their cher
lshed doctrine. In others they have escaped the
wreck by sheltering themselves UPON the Democratic
platform. Maine has rejected them in the far extreme
OF the East; Oregon has expelled them in the far
extreme of the West New York, the Atlantic,
after dayng with them for years, rises against them
just the intelligence Of their discontinue in Cali.
fornia, on the Pacific, reaches ears. Massachu-
sets and Maryland, Michigan and Minnesota Indiana
and Illinois, New Jersey and New Hampshire, Mis-
81 ,sippi and Missouri, North Carolina and South
Carolina, Virginia. Ohio and Pennsylvania, Tennes-
see and kentucky-all have declared for the Denoc-
racy in the State or in their Congressional elections
oy great ana conclusive maJorltIeS. And may
not add that after the Union victories of the South
no Southern Wing can vote for Northern candidate
for President? History will record this as mirac-
ulous instance of political unanimity; and millions
will hail it the sign and seal of the renewed pat
rotisn of the people, and the inyncibility of our
constitutional Union
Here. then, upon this Threshold, let a united De-
mocracy-whch has blessed this whole hemisphere
with good government, and extnguished the fires Of
that dangerous discomfort which threatened plunge
US into rretrievabIe Anarchy-upon this, the broad
national and suspicious threshold of 1852, let US
take our stand. 1t will be folly and our
own shame ii we do not march from it TO an une-
quaed conquest over the principles of our oppo-
nents.''
The foregoing is true it is eloquent.
By the way, published weeks since
table. showing the names ana the politics of the
Governors Of the different States, and we thought
we might see it in the Register item of news ;
but the Editor, it seems, has not yet progressed
that far in his newspaper reading. We believe there
are many four Wing Governors, out of the
thrty-one, in the United States; and this fact ap-
pears in this table. The Editor might as well
publish it and if he desires 10 do so, we will send
him copy. Itmay have escaped his observation
