THE MOUNTAINS ALL RIGHT
PETERS ELECTEDt!
maior..y more nan ess rAsn..aa,,


A dispatch from Paris last night brought thu
cheering intelligence that Peters, the Regular Dem.
oeratic nominee for Judge of the Court of Appeals
is elected by more than ONE THOUSAND MAORI
TY over his Opposition competitor.
TINS Is indeed glorious news. With clear ma
jority in the State for want of organization and con-
centrated, united effort suffered defeat as I'M
expectea by our opponents rs it was unlocked for
by our triends-a defeat brought about, in addition
TO TINS cause Dy the united exertions OF their lead
ers Of both wings of the Opposition who managed
with such adroitness to induce thousands Of men
who have no sympathies with Know Nothngism- or.
Squatterlsm 10 vote for Boiling or Hopkins and
even for Combs. without at the same time, exciting
a feeling that would have brought sthe full Demo-
cratic vote to the polls Fory thousand BreeEiaridoe
uotes Ioere not poled and McClarty, weakened still
further by votes thrown away on others, was de
feated and it seemed that in every mart of the
the tactics OF the Opposition had been Successful
They rejoiced over the election of Combs, and the
defeat of Peters was scarcely doubted
But the gallant mountains have been true to Them
selves and their country. While others were luke
warm and careless they were putting on their arnor
and preparing for the fight, While others were at
home on election day, swapping off McClarty with
those who meant not an honest exchange, thsy were
at the polls working like true Democrats for their
whole ticket; and now, just as our opponents conf
dent of the election of Simpson, were preparing to
proclaim complete triumph, the glorious news
from the mountains tells us what we may expect in
NOVemoeri and While II admlnlstersa mefited rebuke
TO Democrats elsewhere, it inetes to renewed and
unexamped exerticns in the glorious race as to who
shall bear off the palm in the great contest this fall
The defeat of McCarty only served to show US what
we needed the result in the banner counties Floyd,
Johnson, &c. teaches us what may be done and in
November, Kentucky will give Breckinridge-

The DisOrganizers-we mean the Douglas Squat
ters-occasonally throw up to us that we were
once for the Little Giant" That is So but we new
worshipped or idolized him. We were for him
because of his availability and not ON account of
his position on the territorial question-that we
committed ourselves against 1858, which our files
will show, when he was making his canvass with
Mr.. Lincoln. After that time, on several occasions
Mr.. Douglas showed signs Of penitence, and it was
said that he would return to his old Democratic DO.
sition, and it not until then we declared for
him But the meeting of the Charleston Csnven,
ton proved that this was not the casehis friends
there swOre that the North should have the candI-
date and the platform TOO. Then we knew that he
never could be nominated because all parties South
and portion of the North stood committed against
his construction of TIE Kansas-Nebraska act. When
his friends voted down the majority platform
were satisfied that they had cut his throat pOlit
ical,y and that he would never reach the Presiden
cy- Between the Conventions at Charleston and
Baltimore our position was rather unpleasant, but
we still continued the friend of Mr. Douglas hoping
that he would withdraw bis name, which would re-
lieve us of our awkward pTedicament. We were
that we had followed him too far and We
resolved If he did not withdraw, to bolt If an op-

to the whole country we said /" farewell Stephen!

EDWARD EVERETT 8. 81

d" The suspense about ar. EVerett's nomination has
really excited quite a hurricane in the Northern

that they have little manly feeling left. Presses

petrated against the slave aroused pIous indig

will not deny them. We shall give the documents.

In this letter to Mr.. Quincy, Mr. Everett states

EDWARD Ef ERETT.
The Governor of this Commonwealth has answer
ed unequivocaliy, in the AFFIRMATIVE, to the
questions mr. Borden'sl whether he is in favor of
the immediate abolition of slavery IN the District
of Columbia, and the slave trade between the sew
eral States. Edward Everett now speaks the Ian
guage of patriot a republican and christian.
We believe it Is the real language of his SOUL When
few years since, he took the opposite ground he
did violence to his convictions of right and COM
mitted grievous error. We are disposed to oblit-
crate all that has gone before, and to commend him
for his honorable course. To refer invidiously to
what he said when public sentiment was deeply
corrupt, would be ungenerous to charge him with
being insincere, at the present time, would be I'M
just; TO accuse him of seeking popularity. would
be equally uncharitable. 1t is not yet a popular
thing for the Chief Magistrate of this Commonwealth
to avow himself in favor Of emancipation and
until he shall prove recreant to his present protest.
ions i is to be taken for granted that he just
what he says. In our opinion he ought to receive
the undivided support Of the antisaVery voters Of
this Commonwealth nay, they have pledged to give
him their support, inasmuch rs he has declared
himself to be in favor of their principles and
ures" f-ufUEE .tEEg
