The Spring Elections.

The best possible indication Of the sound
ness Of public sentiment is that the spring
elections in all parts of the United Suites
so far as they have been held, have result
ed in the complete maintenance of power
already attained by The Democratic party
and in the largest gains yet know TO The
party struggles Of such seasons.
Ohio is no exception to the rule. Those
who had laid to their souls The fattering
unclion that the recent splendid victorious
of the Democracy in this State were TO be
temporary, have expected chickens from
added eggs.
The people have become too sick of the
pilfering propensities Of The Galphin party,
and Of their audncious corruption and faith
lessness in every branch of The public ser.
vice, 10 trust them with power al least one
generation. This accounts for the persist.
ance of voters every where in scourging
Wings from power al the spring elections.
These elections are ofimpor,ance IN af.
fording the people an opportunity of express
ing their condemnation of Wing misdoings.
And verify the good people are availing
themselves Of the opportunity by the most
emphatic declarations thai the country has
often heard even Of the unfitness OF the
Wing parry for any Office Of public trust or
duty STATESMAN.

siaslic, such as coulo not have been much
surpassed al his first landing in New York.
Daniel Chandler, Esq, welcomed him in be
half OF the inhabitants OF Mobile and Ala
bama. and expressed much sympathy for
the man and his cause. Kossuth then read
a very eloquent and ingenious speech,
which was received with raplurous applause,
again and again.
He spoke of Senator Clemens, OF this
State, political and personal enmiiy to him.

exceedingly happy and grateful that enmiiy

Whig Prospects

The New York Mirror, well known as
the confidential exponent Of Gen. Taylor's
Administration, thus comments upon the
probable position of it's party, and their
candidate for the Presidency. Upon this
plain showing, it must be confessed the
Whig prospec. is sufficiently lugubrious:
"The chances are, that Gen. Scott will
receive the largest number Of votes on the
first ballot in the convention. Should such
be the fact, it does not follow that he will
be the next President Of the United States,
nor even that he will be the nominee of the
Wing party. On the second ballot, we are
inclined 10 think there will be but two can.
didaies; and the struggle will then be be.
tween the friends of Scott and Fillmore, or
Scott aud Webster-the Webster party
going over to Fillmore, or the Fillmore
men to Webster. In the event of hot con-
lest, third candidate would be adopted, and
as we have alreedy suggested, John J. Crit
tenden would be the man.
Then, when the Wings have selected
their champion, the question will be, can
theu elect him? Weanswer emphatically,
no; not upon the basis of a mere party
platform. Aud why nota Simply because
the Democracy is in the majority. Thus
far in the history of our government, a
whig administration has been incidental, not
general-the exception, and not the rule Of
political affairs. 1t ia only from The excesses
Of radicalism that reunion has occurred in

Rascality at Washington.

The abstraction Of papers from the
State Department, which was considered
matter of sufficient importance to call
forth from the President special Message
to Congress, urging the enactment of q
law to punish such cases, was done, it is
now said. by one DR.. w. w. BALDWIN,
Of Philadelphia, but more lately Of Calls
fornia, and it is understood that the De-
partment has applied 10 the proper legal
authority to arrest him. 1t is alleged that
$6l 900 was allowed upon his claim,
which was very much below the amoun.
of it. He has memorialized the Senate
for further allowance, and, it is charged
that he obtained from the State Depart
ment permission TO examine the papers on
file there, and carried away or destroye ed
such as he considered unfavorable to the
view of the case presented in his memorial.

@ The Wing still denies that the
Wing Review opposes the nomination of
Gen. Scott, and asserts that the paragraph
quoted by US last week as from that jour-
nal, is @vile forgery" Now, the ques
tion is, who is the fo,gerg That extract
with the commentary thereon was copied
from the Detroit Tribune, as violent and
dev oted Scott paper as there is in the
country. tits little surprising that that
paper should have copied it and been SO
much an,aged thereat if no such paragraph
ever appeared in the columns Of the Review.
But our neigbbor has searched its pages
in vain to find the quotation, therefore il is
forgery! But his Scott brother of the
Tribune did find it, and regarded it as an
evidence of "a want of discretion in the Re
view. Either The glasses Of our neishbor
are as opaque as coon skin, or those Of
his brother of the Tribune are SO clear as
to enable him to see swhat is not to be
seen."
But the efforts Of the Wing and some
its contemporaries to make it appear that
all is peace and harmony in their own
ranks, or that the only divisions that exist
in it, are among the slave hunting South
erners, while they are SO deeply interesting
themselves in the concerns Of their neigh.
bors, is not only foolish but false. The
fact is, a most bitter war is going on between
the two wings of the wbig party. The
quarrel is between those who are disposed
to ego it blind, /" and those who ore determin-
ed to take nothing upon trust, but to go into
