it to ayow their object, yet they ss'althily pursued

real causes of the miscarriage

Read the noisy exultation of their journals, the
sudden bilarity aud hope which irradiate their
groggcries. They evidently fancy that the State
has been given into their hands They are mis-
taken in this, but their mistake will invigorate
their exertions and increase their votes.
Shall we tske counsel rather of our friends
Well: name one State, if you can, in which our
allies did not desire and expect union OF the
Opposition at Syracuse. We know that the ablest
and wisest Republicans almost universally expected
and desired this. We know that the news of lts
failure has generally disappointed and ssddened
them And We know that every Member of Con-
gress lost by reason Of this failure will be scored
up by them to the account OF certain leading
Republicans and Americans in this State, through
whose efforts union OF the Opposition was de-
fested.
We presume that WHIST has been done cannot
be undone The rival Republican and American
State Tickets must be supported to the end, and
this fact calls upon specially in
own stronghods-for redOubed efforts to avert
possible disaster. Brethren OF 81. Lawrence, OF
Herkimer, of Jefferson, Onondags, Cayugs, Wash
ington and the West you must not rest satisfied
in your great local strength, but prepare to bring
out your very last vote TO insure the election OF
your State Ticket. AS things now stand, We are
likely to be beaten Twenty Thousand in this city
and some Ten Thousand the two Islands.
Our State Ticket will go up to the Highlands over
Thirty Thousand behind that OF the Buchanan
Democracy. You can overcome this local pre-
ponderance but you will have to put forth your
best exertions. Do not imagine the fight easy
one for il is not and will not be-. Nominate your
local tickets promptly; put forth your best men;
then commence system of township and school

organization. Remember the unimagined defeat
of last year. and remember it so as TO avoid its
repetition. Do your mightiest, and, in order that
Then as To Congressmen: These must not be
thrown away Let the Syracuse folly stand alone.
