The w Zig claps its hands in jubilant ex-
.ultation at the fancied alarm which it thinks
L the Eaominer is thrown into by the cleo
tons in the States of Iowa and Maine. ii
that brings to the WVig any consolation, ii
ismore than we'come4a all its happiness
Bat its Joy. as Far as we earn see, arises
| from d source as. entirely at war with what
ought to give comfort to the South, as the
conclusion of its article is from tie premises
with which it sets out
We have indeed fallen upon evil times
when any party at the South can find cause
of triumph or satisfaction in. the success of
the ayaIed and undiseuised ;enenlies of the
FOonstltution ana the South, over i, any por-
ton of those who resist them, however small
their numbers, Or from whatever cause re-
duced to a minority, The Wigs logic is
more eoee1iric, however. tbsa, IT'S facts, or
even than its deductions = IT charges the
Democrats in IoVa and Maine with infdeli-
tgif9 the Constitution and tho. guaranteed
rights 6f tie South, Jecause they were una
bic to carry the ELECTIONS against the con-
biaed forces of the tAboltio,Gsts and Know
NotbingsA Precious logic this. 1t would
prove that the army under Washington, at
Long Island and Brandywine, were traitors
to the cause they were bleeding and dying
to defend, becapse. they were. unable, tosre
sist the mercenafy hosts Of fyranny and
wrong, But the logicis. 't'fF'ite as good as
the facts it rests upon, and far better than
the cause it designed to sustain. The Wig
does not distinctly charge infdelity upon the
Democrats who have stood firm in the recent
elections, for standing firm, but it charges
them with infdelity because it alleges that
large portion who had been Democrats de-
serted and went, over. to the 'onemy-the
Black Republicans. HE Zig omitted to
tell its readers, however that the Know
Nothing. party, its own confederatcs and
boosted allies OF two years ago, had all, ewes
