blooming, and the plants and trees wave in the

The court and squares are covered with a man
tie Of green, rapidly springing from the spongy
soil, after the refreshing rains; and the evergreen
oaks, with broad-leaved magnolias, are awakened
into new life and more vigorous growth.

suit:
Observe an ominous and striking fact Of this
election. There was no Democratic ickef in the
feld. The Democratic party is dissolved, hence
it is dead and often, and the only issue was Amer
icansm and AaR-Ameicansm. There was no
Democracy about il, but fusion of all elements
and sects, and parties and opinions, upon the sim
pie issue Of Americanism and nti-Americanism,
and the former triumphed by ], 342 majority. Let
this fact be marked down and remembered.
Justice demands tribute to the intelligent and
discriminating portion Of the foreign population.
Seeing that their interests and the interests Of their
children are as much concerned as the native pop
ulation in the success of this American party very
many of them voted our whole ticket. We are
persuaded that they viii do this again.

for the final and permanent success Of American
principles, was manifested here yesterday. Up

youth Let them all over the State emulate the
