would have been the RESULT Why. that he would hard
y have carried State in the Uaon; and that, instead
OF squabbng about their own non appointments, the
bunkers would have been laughing al the blunders Of
Geo, Scott, which would have been ridiculous as his
military exploits sublime The old barnburner
party Of Is4s would have rallied in New York, the
free-soers OF Ohio aud Of the Nodhwest generally
would have reused themselves and have been joined by
all democrats who had bad anything TO do with the pro-
wis., whose minds revoed against folly and tyranny
and the dlssnected from various causes would have MT
ed their heads and haseped to give TO the movement that
power and consistency which oener impaired BY per-
sonal feeling by anything else Under such state OF
things, il may be doubted The vote oil even New Hamp
shire could have been carried Tor there have been many
provisosls there. All trouble in the wing party would
have ceased at The sight of dssensons and, while
torn all 10 pieces, old enemy would have advanced
against US in solid columns, to which we could have
made no resistance We should have been everywhere
beaten in the free States, which would have caused the
greater part OF the South to 90 against US, as II always
does when we show that we have no power In the
North and the West If evince The slronges, pos

What the South wants is roweT-a government powerful
because called into being by great masses OF people,
acting in unison and as a harmonious party. The tele-
graph on the night of the 2d of November, instead OF
bringing intelligence Of twenty seven victories won
on one day, would have brought accounts OF moth
ing but disasters. such would have constituted our
Waterloo 1s40 would then have been our Leipsic.
Gen Pierce would have been nowhere, and the demo-
cratic party would have been with him.
Such would have been the effect of acting in 1852
as the hunkers OF 1852 say the administration should
act Is there any democrat who regrets that we did
not then like focls and fight the battle for the wings
in the nation hunkers now lighting it for them
in this Slate!
