The Election
K over, and the Democracy have swept
the field BY majority unparalleled in the
history Of the government Stunned and
di-mayed BY this annihilatioz of their
forces, the Wing presses indulge in all
sorts of excuses for their overthrow, pnd
grumble or laugh at the result as the hu-
NOR happens 70 take them-shoush the
lamentations Of SOME exhibit bitterness
and intensity Of fe,iing that indicates .
keonness Of disappointment not readily to
Be assuaged-
The restoration of the Democratic party
to pswer, and that too BY such wide spread
and imposing evidences Of popular appro-
val is justly source of intense grati6ca-
ton to the Democracy, and their rejoicing
could not be otherwise than heartfelt and
enthusiastic But in the very fulpess Of
their exultaticn they have generally been
s."p''y minGful Of Frank P.erce's own
,ob,e words Of admonition on this subject,
si.st :. with high toned and honorable men
She hour Of triumph 10 also the hour Of
n>gnanimity. 1t is not to be overlooked
:ha. there are many with whom We are in
s:aily intercourse who are moved BY feel
:lss exactly the opposite of our. on this
occasion, aud his friends could we'll afford
30 allow that circumstance to detrsct some
What from their generous JOY" These
iagsestions are especially appropriate and
just after so full-toned aud majestic an ut
terancs rs has just been heard from the
BALLOT box.
The gallant Democracy Of Lewisburg
arc entitled to the highest need of praise
for their energetic and effective operations
gu the End Of November The glorious
vote they polsd for Pierce and King, and
the inroads they made upOn the Whig
ranks are no less gratifying in themselves
than in their contrast With the lame results
in districts under the special jurisdiction
and influence G.! of the Whiskey Inspector.
The Unio" Times has even sought to re-
store itself to favor BY muiteTed tribute
Of approval though What the Intelligent
ahi patriotic Democracy of cur town have
done to bring such misfol tune upon them
selves We can not imagine. They have
endured With patient composure the storm
Of maudlin abuse which that sheet has
poured upon them this fall, and could con-
tinue to do so her, after, but to bs sudden
ly bespattered with its praise was the
unkindest cut Of all" But its batteries
and denuncia.ions alike fall on unheedinx
ears. The Democney here, and in the ad-
iacent townships, perfectly understand
'ieir right. .nri duties, .nd fully appreciate |
the force Of principles and the value Of party
organization, but not such scandalous and |
dishonest movements IS the Whisky In
spestor and the Times swamped themselves
in trying to carry ont this fell. They
must have some better principle in their |
platform than the destruction of their own |
interests, and better Irregular nonina-
taoa" than an " anti-masenic volunteer"
to secure their support. They ask nsthiDg
more of the Democracy of ether parts Of
the county than honorable treatment and
even handed justice less they will not be
likely to accept They rejoice over their
local victory in Oct. AS we'll - in November,
aad would repeat it in the same style,
d" only little more so," if circumstances
should require it. They ask no favors on
hat score, and are not disposed to shrink
from any responsibility that may thus be
evolved upon them. They are able to
lake care Of themselves and their enemies
TOO.
