&C. The vote of this county at the late election
shows the same vote for Barstow that was cast for
Pierce for President year ago; about two hun
drcd more for Holton than was cast for Hale and
shows also that the aggregate vote this fall is about
three hundred less than it was last fall. Had the
vote been full no doubt Barstow's vote would have
been somewhat increased; but Holton's vote would
have been more increased, and his majority larger
than it is.
We do not know what others may have expect
ed, but did not by any means expect that the
whole of the wing party would go over to the sup
port of Hoton. Many in that party, as is we'll
known, have much more sympathy with the Hun
ker Democracy than with the Free Democracy,
and on this occasion We expected they would do
just what they did, go for Barstow, in preference
to Holton. The election in this county is not diff
feren either in its character or Significance from all
elections which have recently taken place. In New
York. it is we'll understood the Silver Grey or pro-
slavery wings, united generally with the " Hard "
Democracy and the Democratic vote all over the
country has been largely added to in the same way
Orators may spout, and conventions resolve, and
newspapers talk, but facts and principles work out
their ends, nevertheless. It is fact that the old
issues which made and divided parties arc obsolete
it is fact that new questions and new issues are
arising and it therefore becomes an inevitable re-
suit and necessity, that parties shall dissolve and
form the selves he now icSupc oil .b;,
late elections are significant 0f necessity, the
whg party would be the first to manifest this dis
solving process. The late Presidential election
clearly demonstrated that the mission of that par
~ ended and all subsequent elections in which
it has attempted to rally, have but added estimo-
ny to the fact. The late election in New York, SO
far as it is any triumph at ALL by no means tri-
umph of the old whig party, but of modern liberal
idcaS-of Sewardism in contradstinction to Fill
morcsm-in fact comes nearer Il triumph of the
Free Democracy than any thing else
The mission of tho Free Democracy, as an in
dependent party, we consider nearly ful6lled. The
principle of slavery which existed in tho states I'M
der state goverrmcnt and was tolerated by the ma
tional constitution, has been and is aiming for the
When the people of the nation come to see this
fact clearly and array themselves into parties ac-
cordngly, third party in that issue has no further
mission. This is the condition to which pcoplc
are now rapidly tending. The lizard portion
on the slavery issue of different parties, are CO.
ming together. The Soft portion will ineyi-
taby do the same thing, and the strife on this is
sue will fairly commence.
We are understood then, when we say, the cleo
ton in this county indeed we NAV saw. state is
not different in its character or significance from
those elsewhere. People of the same general sym
pathleS have united together They will STAY uni
ted In this county they have manifested their re-
latye strength. The liberal party will never be
weaker, will never have any less majority than it
had on this OCCASION True, we expect some who
voted with it, will go to The hunkcrs finally,
but we expect many more who are now with the
hunkers will come to it.
We will not be understood as expressing the
opinion that every person who voted the Peoplc',
ticket, believe in all things with the Free Dcmocra-
uc party; nor do we mean TO say that any other
party has joined the Free Democratic party, or
people of the same general political affinitcs and
SynpathieS are coming together and will continue
together We do not mean to say that this party
will or must come up the Pittsburg platform in all
things, or will or must support any particular in
dyidual of the PittSburg faith for the Prcsidenc,
We know not who will be its candidates for office
nor do we much care. We only know this that
in the contest at hand, between the power that
seeks TO conserve, preserve perpetuatc strengthen
and extend slavery, and that which seeks the same
for liberty it will be the side of the latter and
although it may not start from the point desire
Yet it will reach the end at which we aim, which
for is sufficient.
Then we say again, we arc well satisfied with the
position of this county and believe that in all good
works she will prove herself reliable.
