We do not mean, by the above remarks, to

those who labored in their several districts to
get up a proper spirit among their neighbors.--
Not at all. There are few counties in the State
that can boast of more able and efficient public

has already died away. A few political leaders
on the Locofoco side appear chop-fallen and dis

that Old Zack has bend' elbcted: They admire
the man, and we know many iii this community
who voted for Cass, that weiilld have cast their
votes for Taylor, if the choice had been left to
their own unbiased judgment. In this place,
the Taylor men made no formal 'Mille demon

They struggled for the benefit of their country,'
and the fact that success crowned their efforts,
appears to be glory enongh for them. For our
own part, we like their course. It is not be
coming in those who profess to deprecate party
spirit to keep it up after the election is over, by
public demonstrations, rejoicing over a fallen

Complimentaty:
We observe with pleastire that the Whig press
tlf the State, generally, speaks iti high terms of
commendation of the serviced of Hon. ALEX.
RAMSEY, Chairman of the Whig State Central
Committee, during the political campaign from
which we have so gldfiously emerged. . This is
but just, for we verily believe, that Mr. Ram
sey'e superior, iti conducting and directing the
operations of a Pcilitical campaign, does not re
side within the bounds of Pennsylvania. We
kvow him well, and have had frequent opportu
nities of observing his efficiency in this branch
of " domestic industry."
And while upon this subject, we may speak
of our district of country and complimentthose
who have done the work here. We do not feel
that any particular committee men (and they
all done their duty) deserve the exclusive credit
A Regenerated Republic.
The sun of TUESDAYdid set, as we predicted
to rise on WEDNESDAY upon a REGENERATED RE
PUBLIC. With the consent of our twenty mil
lions of Freemen Zachary Taylor is the Ruler
Elect of this American Confederacy. The ac
tion of thirty States was simultaneous. The
mind of the whole nation moved as the mind of
one man. Three millions of Electors declared
their preference by the deposit of a ballot. The
minority quietly acquiesces. Zachary Taylor
and Millard Fillmore are now President and
Vice President by the consent of the whole peo
ple. The world presents no parallel for such a
spectacle of political, intellectual, social and
moral sublimity.
On no former occasion has the principle of
free governmeut been more triumphantly vindi
cated. The People had suffered deeply from
misrule. A reckless Administration had plung
ed the Country into an unnecessary, rapacious
and destructive War. That War, like the War
of the Revolution, raised up a great and good
man to avenge the People's wrongs. Yes, the
Mexican War has made Gen. Taylor President.
And in Gen. Taylor we shall have a Magistrate
who inherits the virtues and who will imitate
the examples of Washington.
Heartily, therefore, do we congratulate our
friends and readers upon this truly suspicious
result. Heartily do we rejoice with ottr Whig
fellow citizens upon an occasion which will
give us the blessings of a good government for
at least four years.
Under a Whig Administration the business of
the country will resume and course healthfully
through its accustomed channels. The Legis
lation of Congress will be, as in the better days
of the Republic, enlightened and salutary. There
will be a return to the halcyon days of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Monroe and John Quincy Ad
ams. We shall live, under the benign influence
of a Whig Administration, prosperous and hap
py at home, and in peace and amity with the
nations of the Earth.—Albany Journal.

Ptoiiil ill recd'rding, this great triumph of our
people over a corrupt government in one of
their heretofore strong holds—it is a glorious
vindication of the right of the people to rule,
and a tremendous rebuke to those who defrauded
them in 1814. It is a triumph which soars
far above mere party considerations in many
resleets, and shoWs that the masses of the
people will not be linig misled by party feel:
prejuilices and associations, wgen great
and leading interests are in jeopardy. It is a
triumph of American labor over the competi
tion of the lo'w labor of dOvri trodden Europe.
Our mechanics, laborers, miners, and particu:
larly our young men, contributed largely in
bringing oboist this great and glorious result—
thanks to their honesty and independence—they
have acted nobly, and may they soon reap the
rewards of their triumph, in the revival of in
dustry and the renewal of the prosperity of the
country.

The indicatiohs by last evening's mail make
Taylor's chance for Virginia decidedly the best.
A Telegraphic despatch in the Pennsylvanian,
says that Taylor has carried Illinois. Alabama
is also so close that the result is still in doubt.
The latter State gave Polk 11,000 in '44. Mis
sissippi has doubtless gohe for Taylor. Should
these States, in addition to those already receiv
ed, cast their votes for Old Zack, there will not
be a grease spot left of the Cass party. It will
be seen that we have set down all these doubtful
States for Cass, where we shall leave them stand
at least until next week.

PREIIII73I FAIIMS.-The Committee of the
Bnrlington County Agricultural Society, on the
11th ultimo, awarded the premium for the best
farm, to John S. Frick. He has 108 acres, ex
clusive of woodland, producing a nett profit of
$1,617 92, for one year, ending March 25,
1:818. We presume this menus clear profit, af
ter paying all proper family expenses.
We know a farmer in Whitemarsh township,
Montgomery county, says the Germantown Tel
egraph, whose farm consists of about 80 acres,
who has laid by, according to his own state
ment, sloooa year for the last thirty years, af

The Causes.
CO" We are often asked, says the Pa. Inqui
sr, the cdtiSes which produced uur noble tri
umph in Pennsylvania. We believe them to
be:—
Ist. The election of Gov. Johnston, which
showed we could succeed, and induced many
Whigs to vote, who seldom vote, repeating the
death chilling reason, there is no rise . ; we' are
always beaten.
2nd. The Tariff; and a belief of flue fixed de
termination on the part of the lobofoco• docent
ment to protect foreign labor, and oppress Amer
ican industry.
3d. The affect'ioh of the people for the brave,
pitident, generous, noble and single hearted Tay
lor. Pennsylvania has always exhibited this
feeli i ng. Her devotion to Washington, Jackson,
and Harrison proves it. She neder tuns her
back on the brave defenders of our country.
We repeat what we have often said before and
since the event, that our success depended on
the nomination in June last by the Whig Na
tional Convention in Philadelphia.

Extraordinary Trotting:.
On Friday last the celebrated horse'
Trustee, trotted twenty miles in fifteen'
minutes and thirty five and a half lac;
onds in harness, being a feat, , fe point
of time and distance, unequalled in the
sporting annals of the world. The horse
was admirably handled by Col. C. S.
Bartine, and many are of the opinion
that the saccess of Mr. Bridges, the
owner of Trustee, is as much owing to
the coolness, judgment and skill of Col.
Bartine iw the drive, as to the horse. Lt
requires an astonishing nerve to drive
with a precision so striking, as on this
occasion, for twelve miles were done ih
which each mile did not ibry - from the
other five seconds, andsmany miles wore
