THE MORAL OF JONES DEFK&T--
The Washington correspondent OK
the New York Courier and Enquirers =
writes:
look upon the rejection Of Mr.
Jones' as an event of great moment IN v
another aspect. 1t marks the begia-s '
ming Of the regeneration in Pennsyl-as
vania; and, greater still, it shows that
the work Of emancipating the noble
Gerr9an mind in the United States
from the servitude of catchwords.~
from devotion TO African slavery, and d
from the tyranny OF sham Democracy
has gone so far as to overthrow those
Influences 10 their very citadel. Let
the Gerpans of Illinois and the Great,
West remember in all future conflicts,
that the most ancient seat of German
power op this Continent has yielded
TO the force OF truth, and has spurned
Slavery and the leaders of the servile
Democracy. This is the moral t.
draw from the defeat of ]. Clancy
Jones.

over Burns is doubtless owing to the fact
that the former is from Pennsylvania, the
