-Tbe moral effect OF the victory is win the
Conservatives. The world knows, or. wiz
1oon know, how the tax payers voted. Ihe
Apitators are poweriess in the General AS

the honor OF the State. The fate OF MASSEY
will yarnthera OF what is in store for them

destroy the reputation OF this Common

They owe their success, such as it was, we

=. Soiit may be safely assumed that the NC
sCuILooa settlement will not be disturbed.
Neither MALONE, nor MASSEY, nor PAUL.:
nor .EuLKERsoS, cares one straw about the
public debt except rs 3 means OF getting
into eaico. They have spent more money
during the summer and fall in agitating for
the repeal OF that settlement than their
taxes would have amounted to in tho forty
years over which the settlement will ex-
tend. Nobody, we suppose, will seriously
claim that there was amy sincerity ia their
.oppositlon to the AoCDLLoCH bill. And
now that they can see for themselves how
iewtof the best people in the State are on
their side, they will probabty soon cease all
their efforts to secure the repeal Of that
law-R indeed they eyer desired to do SO

ought newer to allow any of the leaders on
the Destruetiyes to come into their council
rooms, or to expect any sort of promotion
at their hands. They are totally destitute
OF patriotism, seeking only their own selfish
ends, and, are a thorn in the side OF the par
sy they claim to belong to. Let them reap
The reward of their treachery in sentence
