REMARKS.
This has been the most exciting contest that
has ever taken place in this country, and its re-
4sults are very important. The friends os Bu-
lchanan must now acknowledge that he was en-
EtTely oyermatched and that the training and
diet administered by the Union and others of
his hackers, were unsuited to qualify him for a
mill in the northern climate.
There was much heavy betting upon the re-
i suit, and general members Of the P. p. r. were
