/. THE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION.
We assure our distant readers in all sin
.crritv. tha; nothing can be more absurd
than the attempt made in certain quar-
tcrs here TO ascribc the result of the recent
election in this city to the influence Of
national politics. 1t is our conviction
that. with parties so evenly balanced in
,point Of numbers as they are in Philadcl-
phia. and with the Mayordlty loaded
down rs il is with heavy police patron
age, and consequently with half dozen
of personal dsappointmcnts in every pet
ty Office within tho Mayors gift, it will he
found quite impossible TO re-clect the
n
may be invited to discharge the duties OF
this station, should 81 h a man desire a
denomination and a reelection, 1t is
} well known that the opposition, through
out the late municipal contest urged ma
; ny telling objections of II personal descrlp-
ton TO the democratic nominee, and then
: newspapers and orators endeayored with
|. no little success, to cultivate and estab-
| lsh a deep seated feeling throughout the
: oity, of morai necessity for a change oI
? civic administration.
The causes Of Mr.. Naux's defeat being
thus Of local and personal nature, were
: so fully recognized 10y the general public
b that on the day after the election, the on
ly two newspapers in the city sufficiently
mean and dishonest TO claim Mr.. NauX
, defeat as an anti, Buchanan triumph, were
= the Press and the Eraag Bul'etH n
, point Of reputation, the ostensihle and le
p gallY responsible editors of these scurilous
= journals are par mobile .fdt7tm. Leaving
out of the comparison certain physical OF
3 animal points OF difference, it would bC
difficult to declare which is John w. For
, ney and which is Alexander Cummings
We think Forney more like Cummings
others may think Cummings more like
7 Forncy. The Bulletin is notorious for its
, cowardicc and todyism in all cases where
thrift may follow fawning," ignorance
: and malignity, and is particularly despiseo
: even by the majority of those who pur
chase it for an item of post meridian news
, In its editorial columns, when it cease,
: to plagiarise, it always begins to invent
; and is never so Happy as when its neyel
l failing malice sharpens the barb Of some
plausible falsehood. In the present case
= the sincerity of its declarations concern
r ing the cause of Mr.. Vaux's mishap, anC
. the honesty of its political professions, may
: be comprehended by all, when they come
: to learn that the ostensible editor anc
1 proprietor Of the Bulletin is believed tC
4 have aided in his public capacity, and il
! known personally to have favored the re
; election of the candidate in whose defeat
+ he only now sees the discontinue of Mr.
C Buchanan as regards his admirable anC
! successful Kansas policy.
1t is known that the editor of the Pres
= voted for Mr., Naux and the Whole demo
+, cratic ticket we areinformed that chocl
e full as he was and is of anti-Lecompton
4 ism, he even made parade of the char
/, acter of his vote at the polls. And we ar,
# perfectly well satisfied had Mr.. Naux been
. successful, that Forncy and Cumming
4 were both prepared to appropriate the re
: suit as an ant-administration victory witt
S the same vehemence and eagerness will
o which they (honest fellows now denounc
S his defeat as the defeat of the administra
J. tion. We observed yesterday that til,
c Evening Journal had a pointed and some
:. what bitter allusion TO the Dugald DalGc
tys of the press in connection with tn
S late opposition success, and it is quite cer
= tain that the popular mind has at ono
d inferred this expression of the journal u
/ intended to designate the Press and tn
/ Bulletin.
r There are no two men living better fit
I ted for hunting in couples" socially anC
d politically, than Forney and Cummings
y but the metal of the Press differs some
> thing in composition from that of the Bul
+ letin. The latter is nothing more thai
n plain brass, but the former bears an accu
+ rate supplemental sort of resemblance il
y temper and style to the New York Tri
o bune, and ifthe Tribune may be perfect
:, y described as "Grcelcy's great Kansa
g gong" so the Press may be just as cor
e recty described as Forney's little Kan
IS sas gong No one at all conversant witt
+ current politics in this latitude could fai
q 70 remark that if Greeley one day rushe
g before the public with his great gon
