From tho Western part of tho Stato
the TIOWS Is nut near so bad. Most of

arid the eastern counties of the State,

the west and leaves us at the me y of
niggarized radicalism to the t of
about 14,000
We do not know that the Democracy
base any more reason to be despondent
over the result of the election than the
muses of radicals have. If the labor-
tng men of the State who cling to that
party can stand It to be taxed and tariff-
ad,robbed,and oppreaued,the Demperatic
laboring men certainly can ; if radical
butinees men whose interests it is to hsve
an eeonornicai administration of State

condition of business pursuits, can afford
such an uncertain ■nd unsettled state of
affairs, as we have been experiencing

the interest on the State debt increased

of Kindarhook" was a title which gave
Van Buren the mantle of Jackson, so

set the country ablaze with excitement
for ilarrition. "Old Bough and Rea

political success, more than did his ob
