3Dailp THOS. PHILLIPS & WM. H. SMITH, EDITOR. PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, NOVENI tifER 12 tlt is really amusing to hear the excuses the Whigs make for their defeat. One snys it was the 'inically Abolitionists who defeated them. Another blailessit-on the emaly,antation wittethe Natives. An ether iviiielfartitlatles that their disasters came thr ough the conjohted influences of both those parties together.
