Election in Washington.

The result of the election in Washington shows
that Sam" Is still "alive and kicking" notwth-
standing his enemies announced that he was dead
and buried Immediately after the result Of the vir-
ginia election was made known. We confess We
were not very sanguine of his revival in Washing
ton city on Monday--for what with the combine
ton Of all sorts against him, and the influence of
the general government there was reason TO APP
prehend that he would be eiiectually killed. But
he has arisen with renewed energy--beaten down
his opponents--and obtained a glorious triumph
over them.
The success of the American party in Washing-
ton is damper upon the spirits of those who so
recently rejoiced and spent their powder over the
result in Virginia and who predicted similar
triumph in Washington. 1t shows that Americans
are not so easily conquered by foreign faction, or
deceived by Jesutical practices As in Washing
ton, 80 it will be in Maryland, Tennessee, and other
States which have yet to vote. There is too much
American spirit abroad to permit foreigners to rule
the land and too much determination not to in
sure success to the American party. The next
President Of the United States viii be Of the right
stamp-a firm supporter of the Constitution and
thorough Union man-knowing no sectional differ
ences; and administering public affairs for the
general welfare Of the whole country.
We congratulate our friends on the success of
the American ticket in Washington; for, although
it was but local affair, SO many interests were
brought 10 bear against it that its opponents con-
fdently anticipated that another opportunity would
be afforded them to bring out the big gun" and
raise the shout Of victory. They are greatly NOR
titled, because they see in the result presage of
future defeats to their cause and the entire tri-
umph of American principles. The Americans Of
that city performed their d, ty manfully, and de-
serve well of their country. May we in Maryland
initiate their bright example, and set ourselves
zealously to work 10 place our State in the front
rank of the American party.

HKNRr A. WIsE.--Some Of the Democratic pa.
pers although pleased with the defeat Of the Amer.
leans in Virginia. do not seem to be rejoced at the
election Of Wise. The New York Evening Post
gives him a severe thrust:
The political history of this man is before the
country. He was one ofthe most violent opposers
to the administration of General Jackson. He was
equally violent In his opposition to the measures
of Mr.. Van Buren's administration. Violent is al
most too feeble and quiet term to express the
intensity Of hatred manifested by him to the poti-
cal system Of those two eminent statesmen. No
thing could exceed the vehemence of abuse with
which he assailed them, and their principles, and
their friends. The great sewer of Canal street does
not pour daily into the Hudson tide of more often
sive feculence than flowed at that period into the
harangues Of Mr.. Wise. TWAS pure unmixed rail-
ing, an interminable Huency of vituperstion, me-
chanica facility Of abuse and nothing more. There
was neither argument nor enthusiasm In II. II was
the mere volubity Of scold. His disposition To
vituperate seemed a sort Of moral disease. He
threw everything at his opponents which lay In his
way, without discrimination, sticks, stones, dirt,

hands that scorned all nicely OF selection

MONUMENTS TO THE PILGRIMs.-The Old Colony
Memorial states that at the annual meeting of the
Pilgrim Society, held at Plymouth last week, a
committee of the trustees reported that they had
contracted with Hammatt Billings, of Boston, to
erect two monuments-one, small one, upon the
rock ITSELF and the other, and principal monu-
ment upon some elevated spot near at hand, to be
called the National Monument to the Pilgrims
the action of the committee was ratified by vote
Of the Society
daguerreotype picture Of Mr.. Billingss de-
sign, for the National Monument the same
design, we believe, which has been adopted by
the committee-was exhibited to US some time
since.
1t is magnificent conception, aud If properly
carried out, viii be worthy tribute to the memory
of our honored ancestors. The principal figure in
the design female statue, seventy feet in height
representing Faith, standing upon an octagonal
pedestal, which rises eight feet above the level Of
the ground-thus making the whole monument
one hundred and fifty feet high. The base is sup
ported upon four of its eight sides by buttresses,
upon the tops Of which are the several figures of
Law, Morality, Education, and Religion. The whole
is to be carved from native granite, and the four
sides Of the pedestal between the buttresses are
to be adorned with bas reliefs representing
from the history Of the pilgrims.

rs The Sacramento Union of Monday
contains a well arranged and complete table
of the official vote of the state at the last
election. The vote on the Prohibitory law
stands Yes 1883; No 21,S27, giving a
majority against it of only 1936-a more
favorable result than has heretofore been re-
ported in the unofficial returns. California,
by the above close vote, when taken in con-

fact,) that majority of the members elect

greater mistake. The sons of New Eng
land and of the middle States do not LIKE to

towns, railroads-make money and raise
families, than fight. But fight they will. if
need be. Remember the sons of New Eng

revolution, and they were the last to furl their
lag in that terrible struggle. They have
never disgraced their country by cowardice.
