"The Election.—We are not particu
larly anxious to make any long speeches
about the late election—the subject is one
which presents no charms to us, for rea
sons that do no demand explanation. Nor
shall we publish the returns as they come
in, like shot from a "scattering" musket.
When full and complete returns are placed
within our reach, we shall give them a
place in our columns for.purposes of future
reference. The rout of the Whigs has
been perfect and conclusive. Governor
White has been defeated in the Second
District—where the real Whig majority is
not less than fifteen hundred votes. In
1840, that portion of the State now comp°•
sing the District in which Gov. White has
been beaten, gave 1945 majoriiy for Gen.
Harrison, and we much doubt whether a
dozen, voters in the dtstri,..rt have changed
their opinions since that election. The
entire vole of the district scarcely exceeds
the majority given for Harrison in 1840.
In the fourth district, John Moore has been
defeated by four or five hundred votes,
owing undoubtedly to the activity of his
opponents and the inactivity of his friends.
We believe the district to be Whig to the
Core."
After all, it quite useless to speculate
about the affair. The Whigs have been
defeated—defeated clearly because the lot
cofoco ticket obtained the greatest number
of votes. As that honest young philoso
pher, Jacob Faithful, said, "what is dote
can't be helped." During the balance of
the summer, we shall turn our attention to
literary, sentimental and scientific matters,
and leave the world of politics to take care
of itself. Our readers are not altogether
satisfied with the manner in which we have
neglected their interests, and we shall en
deavor to make satisfactory atonement.—
Parties and partizans, therefore, may go
to grass—we will try and find other fish to
fry."
