The various matters Which more especially of our State Gctv-ernment, being -now, for a time, 'disposed of; we are naturally impelled to look around us, and Contemplate our present OBI:, tiOn; the causes which have placed us where we Are ; the condition and prospects of our opponents ;, and the course to, be pursued by our politicall friends,in all our futhre arrangements, with refer ence to the triumph' of the principles which we profess to venerate. We have witnessed the ter mination of a contest, conducted according to the esteblielied rules of 'ederal warfare; in which all thieeletnents of misrepresentation, detraction, and .suppression of the truth, have been freely resorted to; <and to which We have opposed nothing but those plain, common sense, and truthful appeals to the - intelligence of the people, which are seldom - made in vain in our country. The contest has been one, not remarkable for the vigilance of our . opponents—though ,the recklessness of their state ments upon most subjects, has, perhaps, never be fore been exceeded.) In all< matters affecting the prosperity of the country at large, and our own Siedeigpecially, they have sought to, deceive the people, in relation to the true causes of our pros perity; and upon i.ibjects vitally affecting the honor andinterestsof the country at large, they have attributed to the Democratic party, all the' wrongs which the affirm to exist ; while they have denied. to us Tiny, merit, on account of the good which, they !dare not deny, may be every where witnessed. The position which our party now occupies, is a high and honorable one; and we doubt not that -it will long be maintained. indeed, we know of no circumstances 4vhich are litiely to occur, cal. • culated to render it less elevated and honorable. ;It has been attained through constant exertions to place the truth before the people; and in efforts to satisfy them, that; the measures proposed by us' were, of all others, best calculated to promote their . interests. In making these efforts we have driven from us some, perhaps, who were not of us ; but we have satisfied the minds of honest men, who think and act for, themselves, that . the greatest good of the greatest number," is the chief aim of 1 the Democratic party. These men we can rely'. upon. They see the operation of the measures al ready adopted by us; they find that they produce wholesome results; and they are therefore prepar - ed to sustain them. We have told them that these meastfriamust result in good to the country; our opponents 'have constantly reiterated the reverse, until all the facts which could be elicited, proved th m incapable of judging comedy of the true policy of our government ; and the people of our State have decided on their fate, for the next three, years at least - We would not exult over a fallen foe, but we „consider the rest* of the late election to have been ; a most withering rebuke to the Federal party.- - They have found fault with every act of the gene ral government, 3nvolving any great and moment ous concern,; they have proposed no means by , which to produce a better state of things than •they have pictured for the country; they have en deavored to digrace the government in view of I its citizens, and the estimation of foreign na 1 , 7 , tions• arid, denying to us all honesty of purpose,! all patriotism, all honorable principle, they have I been constantly istriving to produce the impression,l that they alone'were patriotic, and honorable, and • honest. They have too long sought to deceive the people; and are rebuked in a manner which can not tail, for a time at least, to cast over them the mantle of shorine. So entirely transparent have :. been the schemes of deception laid by the Federal , ... . leaders, that al large portion, even of their own party, have refused to aid in carrying them out ; ' "mid. have withheld their votes from the ticket i "-`named for their support. Even in this county. _ where - the D•rriocrats have had no hope of gaining any thing, unless when their opponents were divi-1 dad, we have cut down a majority, claimed by many of them at 3000, to the meagre number of 1300. The leaders rail, and find fault with their, political friends, on account of this result; and one of them (the Gazette) seems truly repentant,' for having so thoroughly aided in the work of de., ception. This repentance, however, is so unnatu ral, that even in the column parallel with its con j fession, we find a most impotent array of party, slang, against the opponents of its professed prin , ciples. This we iook upon, howmer, as a last dy-i ing groan after its late efforts; and we can look forward with tolerable confidence to the entire overthrow of the Federal party, even in Allegheny county, in the course of a few years, if our friends do their duty by themselves and the principles i -. which they profess to venerate. 1 :Itt order to tender certain the accomplishment of to great a result, we need only be true to our _principles; and steadfastly adhere to our party or , <ionization. While we adhere to the old landmarks - r - -- of our party, Nt-e cannot be defeated ; and we place 4.eurselves in the position so to ; contend againstour opponents, as to leave them no opportunity for - Making an advance movement. We have made a . profession of !the great ends at which we aim ; we _ have organized, with a view to exert more power-; ‘. fully onr influence to the attainment of these ends - we have progressed materially towards their full ' -anti complete i accomplishment ; and little else re • , mains to be done, than to be firm and unshaken in . ' the course we have pursued. The Federal party can make nolbreach in our lines, while our forces remain concentrated ; and therefore they will seek to attack us at points which they may deem weak. Let no false issues, no new issues, no mere quer'- ', tions of time, or expediency, or policy divide us. . ' - : ` Let us preserve our lines unbroken; and when . .an attack shall be made on one point, let us prove . :',.. nur,devOtion to the great doctrines we profess to 1 :,-eiteiiiii, by merely strengthening the line at that , - point " Th principles of the Democratic party . , . are,not for Pennsylvania merely—nor are they for tiny:single itate, or any subdivision of the Union; they we adopted by our forefathers for the governmentof our vast Union, however widely -10ittte4 i . and fire to be supported with reference - to tliii reffekts' upon that Union, or those who sup poit them Ifni( to give to them the importance rebich . rightfully attaches to them. New ques tions must lof necessity, from time to time, arise; end theyare pre sented, we are called upon . ~ i i . .- only to exz mine them with reference to the great 4 lntitirtment principles upon which our organize . thin iir a A rty is based. From, the operation of '".. ihnso'pringiples on our affairs as a people, ha sprung all the good •which we now enjoy—all our -prosperity whether agricultural, commercial, or. , , ~ .. matuifaCturing ; all *our political and religious -.. 'freedom ;.91l our energy, and moral and physical -poxer. • gam we, then, permit ourselves to be di ilded,..distracted, and defeated; by making primary, 011iects" of only secondary consideration? We' ....: :-. truet'thatirto portion of our friends will sanction LI ri Nt ~ ~~~w. - M= MOVE , , , . IiES BE - 4 and insist upon so suicidal a count. The Consti-I tutlon of our conitrymeY be aptly termed the pa- I rent .of all the' . giod `which can ; boast ;—let us. Ihen,"refer to it,Fistid to the 'effect ;which may be produced upon it , every question that arises If within the scope of that glorious linstrument,and hiaccoidance with its design, we cannot materiallY err ; rind if the question be of dotibtful character, we can do bettr than, wreint to our wishes— by leaving to the action of time, and the more en lightened wisdom .and. experience of those who may follow ue, to decide upon it. That cherished instrument looks to the establishment of " a more perfect union." It recognises nci discords in the ranks of its supporters. It casts its bright mantle over the whole soil of our country—over every human being, every foot of land, and every drop of water protected by its flag. The 'plainest dictates of common sense, every consideration of sound policy, every' sacred requiremerit of honorable principle, therefore, is present4i to enforce upon our minas unity of purpose, an& the most perfect concert of action. To the honor of the Demo. cratic party of. Pennsylvania, we record the fact, that the great mass of its members have been " true and faithful." The end of their late struggle has not yet been made to appear ; but when the great result shall become-knownj.-whether in time or in eternity—they will have no ground upon I which tolLx a reproach for theirlaction. Federal Trickery. One of the last shifts of the Federal leaders which we heard of, immediately preceding the late election, was related to us by a friend ; and is I , strikingly illustrative of the means which that. party are willing to resort to, in..cinder to overcome their opponents. A prominent! member of that party told our friend, that he would find the Dem ocratic vote considerably lessened along the Alle gheny and Monongahela rivers, in consequence of the number of DernoCratic voters who had gone away in fiat boats and on rafts, during the late rise ] in our rivers. Our friend did not think this cir cumstance would operate much more against us' than our opponents—but was, assured that this would be the case, for higher wages had been given to many of the Democratic boatmen and rafismen, in order to induce them to leave home This, our friend was assured, had been done by many of the Federal employers on the two rivers. As if to prevent them from gaining any thing this manceuver, we were visited by a tremendous rain on the day of the election, which continued throughout the day; and "threw cold water' on the hopes of Whiggery. They made nothing, therefore by that speculation as Whig voters are not. generally, of that class who can stand hard work or heavy rains! Returns from Meiieo. The return Judges, who meOresterday, to count the votes of Allegheny county, adjourned, we un derstand, until the 12th of Nol'ember, when the re- turns from Mexico are expectO to reach this city. The commanding officers of companies who are in. actual service, out of the tinted States, are au. thorized by a law of Congress, to open a poll book, in their encampment, on the usual day o I holding elections in their respective States, &c.— Our democratic friends in tbiS county, had tickets and forms forwarded to the officers of the Penn. sylvania Regiments, which. no doubt, arrived in time. The federalists. we learn, did not forward tickets; and, in fact, it would be unnecessary for them to go to any trouble in elation to the matter, as the greet body of the voldnteers are democrats,( land those who were inclined! to be whiggish be fore• leaving home, are c ett witty. by this time, I sick of the Mexican apologiets in this county. If the returns reach here within the time fixed by law, there is a probability that a portion, at least, of the democratic ticket in this county will be elected. It will be a capital joke if, George Darsie has to stay at home this winter! I In that event he m.ty find time to make a deed for that lot he sold to the Masons! Tot Qructr..—Tirse who know the value of the Quince for preserves, will feel an interest in its cultivation. At the late exhibition in Philo 11111 we did not observe that any particular attention 'had been paid to this fruit, in our county. The ar title generally brought to Our Nlarket is inferior, owing to the neglect of fruit growers to take pro. 1 per care of it. No tree requires Proofing more ! than it does, and no fruit wlll better pay for the at tention bestowed on it. A writer says: "The Quince tree is propagated by, putting out cuttings in the spring, precisely the', same as gooseberries and currants. Pruning is' essentially necessary, and should be done at the fall of the leaf. The method is simply to cut. i?ut all the small old branches at the points, and leave all yoUng . shoota of the last year's wood, which will be the bearing branches the next year—the small old twigs are I I always unfruitful and take a portion of the sap from the fruitful ones. Hence the importance of pruning. Tile principal object to be kept in view by the pruner, is to cut out a portion of old bear. ing wood every year, in order to bring in young shoots for fruitting the succeeding sumnner, and to keep the trees in good shape. q. We find that some Federal scribbler, in the Gazette of Thursday, is i!very indignant at Mr. Frana . , (who was formerly a resident of this city, and is now a clerk in the Department; of State,) for having dared to exercise a privilege uniform ly allowed to all who ,can, avail themselves of it,— that of taking a brief respite from dutyl,after being a-year or more. in- service on procuring some one to officiate for him in his absence. Mr. nuts obtained liave of absence 4 from the Department, in order to visit his father ; and employed' another to perform his duties durinva brief absence for that Ipurpose. Being an American citizen, be is not de barred the right of speaking with his acquaintance on any subject whatever./ i 13'j The glorious Demohratic victory+ in Pennsyl vania, will be hail+ d throighout the country as a signal condemnation of the course PrireVed by the Federalists, in opposing their own country in the just and unavoidable war in which 4J. now in volved. Pennsylvanians have always been cele brated for their patriotiqevotion to their country; and in this instance, they have furnished additional evidence that they are :for "their country first— their country always" Mexican Whiggery has met with a rebuke in Pennsylvania, which will not soon be forgotten. Ms. Hatirmt—Will you please announce the name of Jacob Ziegler, lEsq., of Butler, for Speaker of the. House of Representatives. 11r.

Her Democracy have proved that they are no rair•weather politicians; that they are not afraid to fice the cannons of a foreign foe, or to meet at! the ballot Boxes the apologists of that foe in theiri country. They have shown that they are willing to leave their families and homes, to fight their gauntry's battles—relying upon the omnipotent Owe; of truth for the triumph of their political irinciples. The motto of the State ,bas been sua• tained ; and "Virtue, Liberty and independence" triumphs. And what is now the condition of Coonergl— Take a brief retrospect, and contemplate the pic• tore. In I'B4o, the Coon was stuffed with all the luxuries from the parlor and all the tidbits from the kitchen He ranged (torn the garret to the cellar, through the .fields, into the woods,—everywhere. Then he was the favorite of "my lady" and her maid ; then he could perch upon the cidek-barrel, or sip his champagne from cut glass; the 4 he could feast on.. roast beef " while the laborer was promised " two dollars a day I" But temporir mutantur, and the poor Coon changed with them. , In 1844, • • • - .' , •••=s•• ,tc . ""r - • - • ,s _ he had " wandered through the warld," and found no resting place. The beauty of his rings was gone! His tail no more was elevated in gladness! His sleek, glossy hair had become thin and mat ted; and he vainly sought a hiding-place for his attenuated limbs, that he might lie down and die. Passing through the tarm yards where he was once A free ranger, there were none to offer him aught to raise his drooping spirits, or prolong s miserable existence. Even the well-fed rooster feared him not ; but with feathers all erect, drove him from the scattered grains of corn, and he at last reached a hollow-tree in the Federal Tarifftountry. Here poor Cooney was lost 'sight of; until, in 1847, some old Democratic bottlers, while passing along in search of game, saw the end of a tail protruding from a hollow tree; and, on making a further examination, they found the last remains of the Coon of 1540. He bad become scr . thin of flesh before his death, that his bide, bones and mus tles were still preserved ; and the remains of the long lost Coon, were brought htime by them, to be preserved for their children, as an emblem of what the great Whig party had become in the Old Keystone State.

We have no doubt, that, if the friends of those presses had succeeded in the late election, they would have carried Pennsylvania to some point, very remote from its present happy and pros. perous position; but the locality spoken of is a strange one to ue.
