= Tg1rnPa oF THE AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC
Party IN PHILADELPHIA.-The Union and
other administration journals. like Chapman
of old. have been Growing Justify. fo- the last
three days. over what they declared a Demo
cratic victory in Philadelphia. The Philadel-
phia Ledger of yesterday, a journal of de-
cided Democratic affinities, gives plump
denial to all their imaginary gains, by an
nouncing the fact that the Americans have
elected their Treasurer and Commissioner by
from goo to 800 majority over the combined
vote of the Wings aad Democrats And,
moreover, that the Democrats have elected
but 40 members of Council, while the
Americans have elected So.
AT the last charter election IN Philadelphia,
although the Americans were successful, there
was majority of nine thousand votes against
Democratic and Wing parties opposed to them.
Now, they have triumphed over both the old
parties combined
So far, therefore, from tie Americans hav-
ing fallen off in their strength, they have actu-
ally done better, by several thousand votes.
than they did al the last charter election.
There is another feature in the Philadelphia
election, which is worthy Of remark; and that
is the fact that the old Native American lea
ders refused to act with the American party,
because they could not control it, and there
fore united with the opposition. Still, the
true Americans nobly addressed themselves
to the work, and swept the city in triumph
Sam is perfectly satisfied and contented
with the result. He had harder battle to
fight than usual-had seven hundred fraudu
lent votes 10 contend against, among other I'm
expected obstacles, yet he conquered them

holds forth in this wise in regard to the Irish
aud repubicanism:
''As to the Irish people themselves, they
really want something more substantial and
more beneficial to them, working and IN
dustrious nation, than Republic The Irish
have had two bitter experiences of Republic
in their own country, as subjects of an Eng
fish Republican Government-in the United
States. as subjects of the Great American Re
public. In both, they have suffered remorse-
less. ruthless, pitiless persecution-her from
the Cromwellians-there, FROM the Know
Nothngs The Irish are aware that under
Republican form of government there may
and can be no safety for bishops. priests,
monks. or nuns. This is the Irish experience
of Republican form of government Why
shonld they expose themselves to all the hor
rors of civil war to bring such calamity
upon their country?'
