PHILADELPHIA ELEcTIoN. From all
we can learn in relation 10 The causes Of
the defeat Of the American party at the
recent election in Philadelphia, there
seems to have been three causes which
combined-eilher of which would have
been sufficient, and ought 10 have pros
trated the party in any place. First, the
mercinary recklessness of the officers in
monopolizing the peoples money for the
last two years. Secondly, the presenla-
tiOn of the ticket as Fillmore issue
And thirdly, The very disrepulable manner
in which the council treated Hon. James
Buchanan, by refusing to give him an
honorable reception. There was mean
ness in the last act which deserved re-
buke, and it has received it, Good.
