From 16l members Of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes, the administration party has dwin-
died down to rs, including one Wing from
Tennessee, one from Kentucky, and one from
Maryland; and, allowing them three in Louis
lama in Mississippi, and Messrs Bayly and
Smith Of Virginia. This is fair estimate Of
the popular strength Of the present admins

then, to every rejecting mind, that the YER
dict Of the people is adverse to Locofoco mis-
rule, and II is equally clear that the termina-
ton Of this administration ends the political
supremacy Of the party Of which it is the ex-
ponent
The noise and confusion incident to political
contests having ceased, and the smoke and
dust of the conflict cleared away, we are now
able to survey the battlefield, count the killed
and wounded, on both sides, strike balance,
and estimate the extent and valie OF tho VIC
tories we have won, and in doing this, we feel
that we have abundant reason, not only to be
satisfied, but for pride and exultation at what
has passed, and for confident hope and exulta-
ton in regard to the future
The American party has gone through trials
which have tested its fidelity its sincerity, its
zeal, its Armncss and determination 1t has
met with undisputed triuinphs, unlooked-for

was father to the thought; for, while his enc.
mics were exulting over the death of the young
Hercules, he was quietly preparing for another
exhibition Of his power. The serpent he had
seized still writhed and cooled itself around his
yet undeveloped limbs and body, bent upon
strangling him ere he should attain the full
proportions Of giant Another struggle en-
sued, and theresults we are now contemplating.
The enemies OF the young american party,
In the late contests, put forth their utmost
strength, and brought to bear every possible
rcsorcc they could command, even enlisting
the Federal Government in their cause, and
taxing it's employees for the sinews Of war.
But with all their efforts, and all the aid which
