Pennsylvania Election.
On the 18th Of jane, ITS, in the vicinity
Of the city Of Boston, was fought battle,
wherein the troops Of the colonies we're over
come and driven from their position. The eff.
feet Of that defeat upon the people, the situa-
ton of the field, the disadvantage under which
the colonial troops labored, most suitably set
forth the position, and the defeat Of the Re
publican fr--~~ : the state Of Pennsylvania.
As we exam,u the position ofthe colonial troops
on Bunkerhill-- Boston, the headquarters Of
the British and Tory forces lying in the dis
lance, We arc reminded Of the soldiers of free
dom gathered on the field of Pennsylvania, with
the head-qnartcr of the Disunion and Fanatic
forces just upon the borders General Gage at
Boston, General Pierce at Washington-the
money, the arms, the hircling troops of the
one, and the money, the arms and the hircling
troops Of the other The same principles in
stigating the one to defence and battle as the
other the same obstacles to be overcome, the
same results and momentous consequences in
the future. We learn that General Howe
after ascending the hill and encountering
most deadly ERE, assisted by Clinton, drove the
Colonial forces from their position, and that
they retreated with great precipitation. This
was the defeat of the Republicans of Bunker
bill. let Us examine the consequences The
news of the defeat spread through the entire
land New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina, and the whole
Of New England rallied for the future combat
Their eyes were wholly opened what to expect
from their adycrsar.es in the future, what forces
were to be brought to bear against them, what
defence they must make, clustered mighty
cloud of evidence lying open at their door,
Soldiers Of the Battle of lS58-to arms We
who fight for the same broad principles, the
same deep grounded institutions, as they who
persisted amid tho smoke and carnage of that
awful morning-to arms results, the momen-
tous importance of which are but family shad
owed forth by the events of those colonial
struggles, are in this conflict, and instead Of
few anxious hearts looking down upon ysn from
the roofs aud steeples of Boston and Charles
town, the whole world are the spectators To
you, the down=trodden millions Of Europe look {;
to you the good Of every nation, tribe, and
kindred look, and with you remains the ark Of
the covenant Of liberty, which lost, must bring
npon the whole world the affection of tyranny
an9 oppression Be not discouraged: your
defeat is u victory. They, your fathers, knew
and felt the same it prepared for the future,
it bound them more closely together, it resolved
them to perish rather than surrender. b.
warned /! they, your fathers were warned and
took council with each other, and the very next
contest saw them victorious. BE brave as your
fathers were brave, be magnanimous, be united.
Let no labor be too severe, no obstacle too
mighty to be overcome aud first Of oil things,
"bc not deceived by those who come in Sleeps
clothing for inwardlysthey are ravenng wolves |;
and turn away from the deceptive aud smooth
tongucd asprant for the Presidency, who adj
dresses yon to night, to the more bold and auda
cious traitors, who follow in his van for your ev
tience OF the treason and rebellion on the part
of the factionist administration party.
