MIA has shown BY her glorious vote Of the
18th, that she knows how to discriminate
between the illustriovs hero, jackson,
who, in his Hermitage, was first hailed
President by her commanding voice; and
Scott, who has been an officer from early
manhood to advanced age, in the regular
army, has learned but how to command
men standing before him, cap in hand,
and who has embraced camp, barrack, and
field service. if not as > servitude, yet as
a business for life.
The vote Of Penn.ylvania has paralyzed
tie sp rit witch has looked to conquest
over me democracy BY an appeal to tue
martial enthusiasm of cur countrynen.
If the tide of popular feeling for the party
sustaining popular rights could not be
turned back in Pennsylvsnis, such
change can not be hoped for elsewhere, as
all the local considerations connected with
the election which has just taken place
were r-opi,icus to the wing hopes. The
democratic candidate for canal commits
sioner, Mr.. Hopkins, was oppressed by a
very unpopular arrangement made by the
canal board. with which lie is associated.
With this difficulty he has been Obliged
to contend throughout the canvass, altho
most unjus.ly involved in it. Judge
" Woodward, who has triumphed by at least
twelve thousand votes, having been prom
iusnt in one of the sections in which pres
idential aspirations had been cngendered,
it was supposed his name would have been
scratched from the ticket by many of
those who partook Of the hostility Of the
recent controversy. His triumphant ma
iority proves how absolutely the demo-
cratic presidential nomination has healed
all dissensions. Nothing, however, could
prove it more satisfactorily than the zeal
With which all the democratic candidates
who gave way at Baltimore to the nomi-
nation of Pierce and King have entered
in person into the canvass for them

Some Of the Wing papers and speakers,
now that the patriot Cass is not candi-
date for the suffrages of the people, occa-
sionally speak in high terms Of him as a
lover Of his country, who would have been
a creditable candidate for the Democracy,
in this contest, and have made an able
President if elected. For the benefit of
these very sincere Wing admirers Of Gen.
Cass, who take pleasure in misrepresenting
and depreciatiug Gen. Pierce, We give the
following extract from Gen. Cass' late
speech in New York:
al know Gen. Scott, and know that
he is an honorable man, and that he has
fought the battles of his country, and !
have not word to say against him. But
he Saint my choice. Franklin Pierce Is
my choice. Aud if God allows me to live
a few months longer, shall see him
President. (Great applause.) l know
him we'll, fellow citizens. He is q highly
honorable and patriotic man, and is a true
democrat, in heart, word and action. And
tell you now that he will enter the Pres
idential chair on the fourth of Marci next
