ever came out of a content more surprised
and delighted at tic r unexpectedstrene.t .
Mr. Van Buiren was elected tit be sure by
meagre majorities, and with an aggregate
popular vote agamet him.
It was flirt acknowledged nn all
hands that the great popularity of Gen.
Harriett,' had imparted much of this an
expected strength to the Whig party, and
it was as generally conceded, that if hr
hat been the can.litlate in the %vied,•
country at an earlier period, and with is
knowledge of his strength which was dis•
closed at the result he would have beer,
triumphantly elected.
This result aniinsted the dreopine,

and a euccessiett of b , victories to e

Intoxicated by these "trees:ea, in an

In 1833 \lr. V3ll Buren had the advan

public money, the 'Hauteur lute, f. r, ne o f
the officers of the General Gtivei nweet,
....are all known and hive been, and are
severely felt by 0 .1.• people.
And although for the reason we have
assigned, Mr. Van Buren and his party
may here obtained doubtful victories, by
small majorities, in some of the States
which had been conquered from his pal ty
yet, hew imich better is the coed:Mum m

Withor:t doing more than invite atten

majority in the next House of Repreeen.
Settee of the U. States, thebeet evidence
of our strength, ere will pass tri to a cou•
*Monition of this (Fleetest' especially with
reference to Petineylvania. And heree,
we shall find the most remarkable evi
dence of the great popularity of Gen.
Ilarrisna, and the most decided encour•
avineitt to effort, should Ire be the candi•
date of the Anti-V. Buren party.
Among the defeats which befel that
party at the State election in Oztober
1836, none was mate signal than that of
Pennsylvania; not only was it overthrown
in counties usually doubtful, or nearly
balanced. but it wars equally unfortunate
where previous it had majoiiiies, aad
in soma instances large majorities.
The Whig party waa defeated at that
eeninn in Adams county. by a majority
of 59, in Allegheny by 157, Beillurd by
300. Bream,' he 16, Bucks by 227. But

Vitiou ,by 246, Washiagton by 110, and
in Huntingdon part of each ticket was
elected. Let any one inclined to des
pond now, examine the melancholy list.
Ile wit find that our disasters it the elec
not: which has j Ist taken plat e are nut si

that which they know is false, merely to
hide the villianies of some other.

A vote has been taken is the Senate of
Tennessee, on instructing the banks of

They must be a hard set at New Or_

Perhaps we cannot better illustrate the
utter profligacy of the administration,
than by tracing the course of one of its

this purpose. Prosper M. Wetmore, of the.
city or New York, who tea pet of the par
ty. In September, 1837, Mr. NVetinuie
acted us the Vice President of a meeting
at Tammany Hall, at which certain reso
lutions were passed. In September, 1859
Mr. VVetmore acted as Vice President of
a meeting in the Fourteenth Ward of the
city of New York, at which certain other
resolutimis were adopted. We select
from the proceedings of each of those
meetings, a resolution for which Mr.
Wetinure voted, and which appears in the
public papers approved by his name as
Vice President. These two resulutioss,
standing ill juxta-position, illustrate the
