THE RESULT IN THIS COUNTY.

II we compare the result in this county
with that in most orthc Democratic coun.
ties in the State, and particularly those
Immediately adjoining us, we certainly
have no cause TO complain. If the l52
"natyes"--lour.hnhs Of whom were dem.
ocrats--and could not be induced 10 vote
for Pollock-had not LEFT us, but cast their
votes for their fellow citizen Gov. Bgler,
as they should have done when lhov saw
they were about to be deserted by the
Wing Natives, our majority would have
been reduced but very little under fair
average.
But the deed is done, and although a
retrospective view Of the contest may show
actefe and ho,o things might have been
amended, yet We can see very little to re.
grot. Some things might have been done,
that were not, and perhaps there were
others that had better have been left un.
done. BE this as it may, we have no re-
pronches to omakc. The Democrats Of this
county have been powerfully bcsct for
years, and on this occasion, more than
upon any former one, they should be sat.
isfed with the result. The opposition for.
ced complete coalition 10 break down
our county ticket. But it was all in vain,
and our entire ticket from Congressman
down, is lriumphantly elected.
Democrats should remember that in
this defeat, there is neither surrender nor
compromise of a single principle of our
glorious old party. Our coIors are again
flung 60 the b,oen7, inscribed with "cquul
rights and privileges to every American
citzon," and, in the language Of the great
Jefferson, "eternal hostility to every kind
oftyranny over the mind of man." Those
who have been induced to desert our par.
ty at this time, will soon be convinced Of
their error, and bel3rc another year, will
be as ardent in their attachment 10 oar
principles as ever.
That great and good man, one whose
conduct through life, both public and pri.
yalc, is without spot or blemish-und
whose valuable reforms in the legislation
oftho State, will standas living monuments
TO his nlenory-shoud thus be stricken
down, through misrepresentation, open
treachcry, and the detection Of trusted
friends, is something to regret but we
should ever remember that those who fall
in the defence Of the peoples rights, will
be sure to rise still higher when the sober
second thought Of the people shall be en-.
obled to see things as they really are, and
not as they ure represented.
