PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 0, 1856.
| There is abundant consolation for the Republican
| party, notwithstanding the recent defeat-if
| great moral triumph can be fairly regarded as
defeat. 1t was Spontaneously organized from ele-
| ments that were before antagOnis.ic in political
| action, and had none of the advantages of that
established discipline the growth Of long years of
drill and despotism, which the bogus Democracy
boast as one of their great elements of power 1t
had to contend against internal divisions Of policy
and an nsidOus foe protesting sympathy with the
principle of nOn-extensOn Of Slavery, and yet stab
ing the cause by secret warfare upon the candidate
who alone could illustrate the idea. The surprise
is, now that Buchanan has escaped by the skin of
his teeth and that Pennsy lvania did the deed, how
the Republicans, under such disadvantages, pOled
so extraordinary vote. The fact illustrates the
potency of the principle. This experience has
taught us the double lesson of feeling strength
ard approaching our weakness. One secures con-
fdence in the future, and the other insures that
caution which is so important an auxiliary Of sue
cess Let only be prudent, be united, be guarded
and patient and the harvest will yet be garnered
from the seed so we'll and so plcntifully planted

Among the conspicuous champions i'll small-beer

Randall who, when advocating Gen. Taylor's cleo
ton made the WimOt Proviso the burden of has
fayorte song and whose daily refrain was undying
hostility to Slavery. Then his devotionfwas abso-
lutely "fanatcal;' but as Gen. Taylor declined to
seat him in the Cabinet, though backed up by So
Icted recommendation from the Pennsylvania Leg
islature he turned quite National, and abandon
ing our dear Fillmore, went over body and bones,
