The Satanic host have been gloriously routed.
The abolition cohorts have been defeated and dis
persed by the true and genuine sons Of America
The powers of light and OF darkness have met in
conflict upon the selected field and the latter have
been put to Alphabetically and capitslly used up.
Henceforward, the new and victorious party will
march onward TO the accomplishment Of its great
national pur'oee cheered by the smiles Of the
people, and strengthened at every step by the
accession Of thousands upon thousands who viii
fall into their ranks. We are, go far delighted at
the result Of the Philadelphia Convention. Il has
proved itself equal TO the occasion. II has disap
pointed he expectations and hopes Of It's enemies
and has falsifed their fond predictions. Il has full
filed the expectations and hopes Of it's friends and
verified their predictions. II has purged the order
Of It's unpincipled fsturbers, the New England
and Ohio fanatics, and compelled them to a sepa-
rate organization. This is MI right
We want to see the abolition forces gathered
together upon their own hook. We want TO see
them standing broadly and undisguisedly upon
their own platform. We want TO see them e1hib-
tied in their full and real strength. We want to
see exactly what they mean to do, or what they
expect to do and we trust that now they have
been publicly repudiated by the nationals, they
will stand up before the country and meet tsjudg'
ment. Satan's headquarters, (corner OF Nassau
and Spruce streets, New York, } have bsen thrown

vanouished spirits have achieved brilliant and
decisive victory over the true faith against which
they drew their swords. Brlzebub howls forth, In
q voice as hideous we can well suppose the
sounds Of lutte Of Erebus TO be, his Applause for
the manly and gallant conduct Of the men Of Massa-
chusetts, Indiana, Ohio, and the Northern States
generally, in the proceedings on slavery in that
