now they take it..


ses how the Democratic papers take their late
defeat. While some speak Of it good 1hnmor-
edly and in sensible manner, there are
other editors who are disposed to be very
wrathy. and who indulge in the most ungen-
tlemanly and abusive langagne toward the
ouposition. Of this latter class, is the editor
Of the Democratic WatcAman. in the last num-
Der Of which paper, we find the following:-
ave have met the enemy, but have been
overcome By the aid of John Browns spears
&C."
Overcome by the aid Of John Browns
spears. who ever heard of the like? At the
time OF the John Brown affair, the Demo-
cratic papers all over the country said that,
iuasmuch as the Republican party was re-
sponsible for the doings Of John Brown, ana
as he was only carrying out their principles
that sensible men, union loving mer, and IL
deed everybody, save o few rabid Abolition
lists, would forsake the party and come over
20 the ranks Of the harmonious Democracy.
Bnt as this wonderful desertion did not take
nlacs, the Watchman editor now says that it
was by the aid Of this very affair--the very
spears that wers TO effect this wonderful COM
ing oyer to the Democracy, that they have
been defeated. They were not defeated by
the aid Of John Browns spears, the irre-
oresslble conflict, and the spirit Of sectional
fansticism," but by the votes of the.very men
whom their Southern Senators call /" mud
s;lls" and i" white elaves"-the free white
laboriug men of Pennsylvania. A little far
thsr on the editor says:
While we are engaged in penning THE
article, the shouts of a reckless and mad en-
shusissm, is ever reverbefating through our
ssually quiet village. Ii may even be the
death-kncll to the glory OF our hitherto rlsH
ing and progressive country.
Our opinion on this point is, that after

which Democrats have YET TO remain in Of

merging from the din and smoke Of the
conflict, we can imagine rsnsdinary scenes
of snotner uarper's Ferry ingnrTecton, &c
Tais is certainly nothing moro than
freak of disordered nasiaation. Some
shing ike the stories of the thousands of Alb
to.i;ionissa who were seen marching from the
NORTH to aid JOHN Brown TO murder the chl7-

tar for their demise.
After saying many things about the nam
nse in .whics the Republicans cunducteg
themselves on the night of the election, and
asserting tAat the negroes of the town shout
I'd in favor Of the Republica candidates, he
goes on as follows, concerning the behavior
of the successful and jubiIant party:
