SrccEss-No man with the least pluck is
ind iltrent to success. hut the grand distinction
between men lies in the fact, that one class
places success entirely IN eHernai things. and
the other makes its chief good to rcs;dein osar-

the pursuit of manly effort that involves the
degradation Of character--the yielding up of

grandest success is where the man passes
through the emergencies of business life with

is like Milton sitting quietly in the close of the

in contrast with Charles the Second, witt, whom
such sacrifices for humanity as the great poet

The Presidential Game.

That there is a scheme on foot to con-
solidate the American and Democratic
tickets for the Presidency We no longer
doubt. 1t originated in New York, and
is being actively pushed to a consuma-
ton. There are certain wire. workers,
belonging 10 the American party, in this
city, in this precious game of ~rascality,
along with Fcrney. Mr.. Buchanan has
become satisfied that he cannot beat Free
mont, and has consented to withdraw in
favor of Fillmore. A committee have
been despatched to procure the with
drawal of Donelson. That committee
are already far on their way to Nash
vile. If Mr.. DOnelson consents, the
agreement is complete so far as the prin-
C pals to the contract ean complete il.
Vast indeed must he the terror Of the
S~hamocratic leaders when they will con-
sent to such a compromise, with those
whom they have so frequently denoun-
ed, with the bitterest revilings and
curses. But they care nothing for prin-
ciples. They change them as often, and
with as much facility, as a chameleon
does its colors. Let these old party
hacks make as many combinations as
they please, they cannot carry the masses
in them They have not cards enough
in the pack 10 beat the ''Pathfinder."-
The Mustang Colt is on the track
clear the way. He has youth, speed
and bottom. The masses of all parties
secretly sympathize with him, and the
moment the leaders attempt to transfer
them By a deed of sale-like the negro
lords of the South transfer their human
cattle, there will be a disavowal of parry
ties; a grand rebellion against party die
%tltiOn, which must result in victory to
the cause of free territory for free while
men. No general ever changed the en-
t re front of his army on the field under
a heavy fire without the loss of the bat
tie, a total rout and discontinue. For
ney, Slidell and Cobb are not gifted with
greater power than others. Make way,
then, for Fremont and Victory !-Phi'a.

ocrats of Detroit, who voted for Pierce,
have united in Il stirring appeal 10 the
Democrats of Michigan to repudiate the
Cincinnati Platform, and vote for Ere
mont.
In noticing the howl of the Free Press
over the bolt, the Adpertiser thus consoles
that Buchanier organ:
We could give the names Of two hum
dred mole who are just as SURE for Ere

but their votes will be sufficient, on the

The Norristown (Pa.) Herald says
that Henry D. PHILIP s, who represents
the Twenty Second district of Pcnnsyl-
vania on the Fillmore electoral ticket. is
well known to be an ardent Fremont
man. This makes FIVE such on the same
ticket, viz: Caleb n. Taylor, of the
Seventh district; G. w. Youugman, Of
the 18Th do; S. E Dufield. Of the Sew
enteenlh do; John II. Wells. of the
Twentieth DO; Henry D. Phillips, Of
the Twenty-second do.
Judge ]. R. Dooliltle, of Racine, one
of the most prominent men in Wisconsin,
and always a Democrat, is out in a let
ter, in which he gives his reasons. as a
Democrat, for supporting Fremont. The
withdrawal of the Judge will be a seri-
Gus blow to the Sham Democracy of his
State. They attempted to bride him TO
act with them. by a nomination for
Congress, but he would not be pur
chased.

Let NJ Man Fail to Vote,

We would urge upon the Republicans
the Importance of polling the largest
possible vote at the State Election. 1t is
true that there is without doubt a large
Republican majority in this State, and
there is scarcely a doub. but that the
election would be carried without much
exertions on the part Of the Republican
party. But every Stale in the Union is
booking with interest for the result of this
State Election. As we in this Slate,
iooked for The returns from Iowa, Yer
mont and Maine, as we have rejoiced at
their glorious triumphs, so do their Re-
publican citizens, snd those of all the
other States, look, and so will they re-
1oice al a similar result in Ohio. Not
-snaH will be the moral effect, of our
State Election for good ei i'll, upon the
coming PTesidentisl contest. II Ohio

she can giue, the hearts of the friends of
