all that was left of the great Itepebli

from which no shriek for freedorti can

But it will take them from now till
the next Presidential election to get
rightly under way again.
Mr. Wilmot, the candidate for Gov
ernor of the Republicans, departs the
scene of his late tronblos with little of
dignity. We admonished him of his
fate in advance, in the very kindest
spirit. We foretold his fate, We im
plored him to desist from his labors.
Bet he refused our counsel, and to ! ho
is almost as badly worsted as if he had
started out to rnn l for the fewest votes.
There is a moral in the catastrophe.
Mr. - Wilmot was the author (putative or
real) of the Proviso that bears his name.
Ile has been a sort of trumpet of sedi
tion ever since 1846, putting through
various phases of polities since that
time, and' changing his coat and his
name almost as often as the rider in the
circus who starts out, like Mr. Wilmot,
a very fat man, and ends a very lean
one indeed. The only element to which
he has been true in all his experience
has been Abolitionism. But this has
prove d to be the saddestof all his spec,
ulations—it has weighed him down from
the first, until it has sunk him, political
ly, deeper than plummet ever sounded.
The ileac, where he descended will be
avoided by all aspiring politicians here
after, as the fatal current is shunned
by the cautious mariner. His over
throw ends the,race - of mere delnagognes
on the slavery question in this quarter.
It /stops the career of fanaticism in
Pennsylvania. It completes and clos
es by such a popular decree as this
nation has never yet seen, the career of
a man,. who, to gratify his own purpos
es, has for ten years disturbed and divi
ded as happy a people as the sun, in all
his coarse, has ever shone upon. There
are larger lessons taaght than this, but
rarely.. one so forcible.—Philactelphia

Packer and the Whole Ticket !
sm.The Demo”rats of liamiltonban
celebrated our Victory in the County
and State, at FAIRFIELD, 011 Thursday
evening last, in handsome style. Pine
knot Bon Fires were kindled at five or
six different points of the town, making
it "as light as day" almost—a number
of the dwellings weilb ilhaminsited,'and
a procession with torches and 'stirring
martial music marched from one'oliti of
the village to the other. Whin' the
pros lion reached the ro.ddenee Gf
Ignac Robinson, Esq., a halt was called,
end a short speech was made by H. J.
Stshle. The line again formed, and air
riy.ing at Shively's hotel, a very pretty
display of Fire Works, on a . small
scale, was had. When concluded, three
cheers wore proposed for the success of
PACKER AND THIS WLIOLL TICKET, and
bravely given. The demonstration,
which was in every respect gratifying,
thou closed.
eierThe celebration of the Victory,
on Saturday evening last, in (Irma.
BURG, was a brilliant affair. * Early
in the evening, a Bon Fire was kindled
in tho Publie.Square, and a number of
Transparencies with appropriate mot
toes, were placed upon the long portico
in front of Wattles's Hotel. Martial
music then paraded the streets, and a
large crowd &mumbling in front of the
" Globe Inn," Otpeeeh of congratulation
was made by E. B. Buehler, Esq. At
the conclusiotrof his remarks the Fire
Works were started in the Diamond,
and continued an hour or more. The
pieces consisted of verticle, illuminated
and triangular wheels, battery, mines,
rockets; bengolas, ke.; eliciting through
out expressions of admiration from the
largo numbers of ail ages and sexes, con
gregated in . the 'vicinity. After the
Display, a procession with martial
music paraded nearly all the streets
Of the town; the most enthusiasm
prenalling. Arrived at Wattles's, three
'cheers were given with - a will in honor
of the success of Packer and the whole
ticket. B. J. Vandersloot made a brief
seeech, which ended-the demonstration.
otwithstanding the "rainy" weather,
the attendance was large. and the Fire

after the Democratic candidate, JLe.ob Green.

In the Eleventh Ward there was some diffi

These are some of the hp•idents of

whether the deplorable rowdyism of

Truth for Onoe.
It ie not often we find a gain of truth
in the 'New'York Herald, but the fol
lowing may be safely sot down in that
category. It is not the tariff, or any
other measure of political economy, to
which the country owes its present
difficulties--=bet just what the Herald
says—speculation, ovortrading, and a
wide spread demoralization 'among the
business community. But to the Herald
article itself :
Is it the Tariff I—Or
,is it the Banks

hue and cry againat a low tariff id rais

trade-David. Wilmot, of Pennsylvania,
takes up this cry against the low tariff
of '46 as the eauee-of-the present revul
sion ; but we cannot concur with those
high tariff philosophers in this solution
of the financial troubles that have so
thickly come upon as. No. We can
not trace them to the tariff of '46; but
we can trace them to the banks and
stockjobbers, the railroad and land
speculators, the fashions, flummefies,
fopperies, ninemr.pooperies; extrava
gances, vanities, licentiousness, roguer
ies, defalcations, ombezzlenients, fbr
genies, 12.auds, perjuries, and all the
other rascalities ofa wide-spread demor
alization among men and women, saints
and sinners—from puritanical Boston
to Sabbath-breaking Now Orleans.
These are the potent causes of a revul
sion, and a two hundred per cent. tar
iff against these terrible evils of the,
times would have been as powerless as
a row boat in the rapids of Niagara.

MILEDITOII, yogi
town, a sorely disappointed peek...of
Knave Nothing politicians. Couti of
them appears in yesterday's Star, over
the name of " Junius," dealing in pithy
abuse of yourself - and your journal.—
Surely it cannot be that all this bile has
been stirred up by the laughable earip
atom of "Molly Maguire" which smile
of your town boys got up whilst at
the Ibinterstown Democratic Meet
in", fur the - benefit of such' chaps as
" Junius." I cannot belieVe that he
could have bottled his wrath sincethat
time; but must be allowed to suspect
that it all comes of the sounddrebb*
which the candidates of his party got
at the late election ! That's wberetbe
shoe pinches, most likely! •
"Junius" may pretend to be indlirer
ent to political matters, but hta.real
partisan feelings will occasionally stick
out. "Straws show."
