Crumbs of Comfort. g.
Notwithstanding the result of the cleo
ton has been far different from what we
hoped and expected, we are by no means
inclined TO despair or even to be down
hearted. Our own duty has been done
10 the best Of our ability, and so far as
we were responsible for the general re-
suit, We have acquitted ourself OF the
responsibility. Instead then Of unavail-
ing mourning over the defeat which the
cause of freedom has experienced, we
are disposed rather to derive all the sat-
i.faction we can from the many really
gratifying results of the campaign.-
These results are important inaSmuch as
they furnish good ground of hope for the
future triumph Of free principles. Let
us briefly enumerate them.
/. Itis great cause ofrejOicing that
New England has declared so strongly
and unanimously for freedom. Here,
where virtue and intelligence are at their
maximum, the Republican cause is also
the most successful. The majority against
Buchanan in the New England States is
not less than a hundred and fifty thou
sand. This is bitter ingredient in the
cup of JOY which the BUCCANEERS are
drinking, and hardly Buchanan press
exults over the general result which does
not also mourn that New England has so
decidedly rejected him. They have rea-
son to mourn, and the Republicans have
as great reason to rejoice.
2. The reelection Of Arson Burlin-
game to Congress makes the BUCCANEERS
feel yet more sorely their defeat in New
England. To defeat him, Beacon street
aristocracy and Ann street democracy
the toprnost scum and the lowest dregs
combined together, and spent time, mon.
ey, and unparalleled exertions. In the
most holly contested district of New Eng
land, in the face of coalition the mos
unprincipled and INSCRIPTIONS ever ye
organised, he has triumphed, and in hin
freedom has triumphed over slavery
Massachusetts has defeated South Caro-
lima. An hail 10 Arson Burlingame, III
champion of free speech.
3. The election in Michigan secure
the final retirement Of Lewis Cass fror
the Senate and the supplial of his plac
with true Republican. This doughface
veteran and veteran doughface has don
his last and worst against the cause c
freedom. For half a century he has fe
at the public crib, and has never failed I
betray the north when he could secure
lien on q single southern vote by SO doing
lie has done ii for the last time. Poo
old horse, let him die.
4. Buchanan is elected by a smallt
electoral majority than successful cal
dldate has ever received, and Fremol
has more electoral votes than were evc
before given a defeated candidate. G
the popular vote Buchanan is probab
in the minority. New England and Ne
England and New York together gi'
nearly three hundred thousand MAORI
against him, and the heavy votes in Obi
Michigan, Illinois, and other states, swC
that majority SO largely that it can hard
be counterbalanced by the majorities
his favor. If the popular vote again
him could be distributed over the Unto
he could not have fourth part of Il
electoral votes.
5. More 10 be rejoiced at than an
thing else we have mentioned is the u
conquerable spirit with which the Repu
licans have received the news of the
disaster, and the resolute determinati,
they manifest not "to give it up so."-
From all parts of the country we he
them declaring" We will abandon nc
ther our principles nor our candidates
The campaign of 1860 is already begu
and begun with zeal and courage th
will never finch till Republicanism shs
achieve a glorious triumph. The R
publican party was never more formid
bic than it is now, and the Douglases al
Stringfellows who think they have "su
dued" it will find they have only rails
1t TO cxertions more vigorous and mo
persistent than ever before.
