cans here might say with as much reason as
Francis THAT is, supposing Francis ever said
ANYTHING of the kind, which he didn't after the
Payian defeat Of last Tuesday. They really had
fought the good fight this year, and had deserved
success if working hard for it could command it.
The Anti.Slayery politicians in these regions are
too apt to think that haryests can be had without
sowing, and that their enemies will drop down
dead without pulling trigger upon them if they
will only let them alone. But this year they did
not neglect the means of grace. The vineyard was
faithfully perambulated digged, tren,hed and
watered so that their illuck is not their own fault
this time. Their orators uplifted their voices, and

had long exerted over them through their power

after our Constitutional convention two or th zee
years ago, called in the aid Of Bishop Fitzpatrick
and his army of aliens to defeat the Constitution,
though they prevailed by their assistance, yet it
was a victory bought at the price of their swn de-
strpction. The common people, the farmers and
NEE hanics and mill.Operatves, were reused to the
point of resistance ano for the sake of safety they
adopted the device of secrecy and swept the whole
field a. soon as they were fully organized. Like
