Victory may be mora difficult Of achieve

Forward | Is slil the word OF command.
From the Richmond Wing
1t Is not pleasant to explain defeats. 1t b bad
enough TO endure them. But these, bad as they
may be, do not render the Liberal cause desper
ale. In q sense these three States were merely
the skirmlsh line OF the great Liberal array, and,
II they had sided with Us, our work would have
been done. As 1t ID, they leave our reserves un.
touched, which, with proper energy, are fully
equal to ultimate triumph.

An almost united South and the great state OF

From the Wilmington IN. C.) %JournaLJ
Let us not be hasty either In action or speech

ourselves placed. All - not yet ioss; So9tn.ons

We hoped for q different result; but we mus

the success OF Hartranfr, OF Pennsylvania, the
candidate OF the Cameron-Grant Ring OF corfup.
