Our defeat in Pennsylvania is only calculated to
rouse and energze the friends Of truth. The oPpo-
nents of an oppressive tariff are invited, and more
over they are encouraged by the success Of Wilmot,
to march up boldly to the defence Of our principles.
We cannot help admring the spirit with which the
"York Gazette" Of Pennsylvania, treats this subject
in its editorial of the 10Th inst.


"THE LATE ELEcrios--In another column will
be found the official returns Of the election held IN
this county. The result Of the congressional cleo
ton is not such as was anticipated week ago; but
il is what was apprehended by many Of our friends
here on the afternoon of the day Of the election
From morning until evening there was AN unnter-
rupted storm Of wind and rain, often reaching TO
great violence. As the whg strength lies chiefly IN
this neighborhood, and in towns and boroughs,
where the weather would Of course not materially
affect the turnout, while the democratic strength Is
the country, feared that there would be but
a very small vote polled in the stronghods Of our
party. The event proved that these apprehenslons
were but too we'll founded. An unusually light vote
polled, except in this borough, and IN that part
Of the surrounding districts within convenient reach
oft. A glance at the returns will show democrats
who remained away from the polls, that a glorious
and decisive victory within their reach, If they
had chosen 10 put forth their hands to grasp 1t.
Every candidate on our ticket, II Is plain, could
have been elected, with exertlon at all commensur-
ate with the importance oil the occasioni yet the
handful Of whigs who faithfully attended to their
duty, and voted have been permitted to triumph in
the midst of party which could have utterly over
whelmed them.


"But have no complaint to make. We are
satisfied with the consciousness that we-who have
incomparatvely less al stake than thousands who
have failed to yoe--incomparably less than every
man who owns acre of sol-less than any Of the
thousands directly interested in the prosperity Of
the farmer-haye faithfully discharged our whole
duty


"We are the more readily reconcied to the result,
from the abiding conviction that cause such as
that we glory in advocating, cannot encounter more
than temporary check. II MUST triumph--its In
herent truth and honesty will secure for il glor-
Gus ascendency--not accidental barren victory
but abiding hold upon the confidence and respect
of the people We say, then, to the friends Of equal
laws, equal protection, equal privileges, and equal
burdens, and to the opponents Of the DISHONEST,
usEauAL, and UNJUST system Of taxation advocated
by the wings, that they have but to rely upon the
strength Of the RIGHT which is with them, AND
PERSEVEREl We have been defeated, but are
not subdued d-PERSEVERE. ....


Truth crushed to earth will rise again,


TIL eternal years Of God are hers


But error, wounded, writhes In pain,


And dies amidst its worshippeH! ~
