There are some things hard TO bear, adding a
pang even to the bitterness Of defeat One Of
these is the suspicion of your associates in e


great cause-no matter il it DO palpably affected
for the basest psrposes-of your fidelity and
zeal. In the course Of the recent erduous con-
test VIC have been compelled to repel or to pass
unnoticed, even when not unfet, arrows from
our own side far more CALLING than the heaviest


grape.shot of notorious adyersaries. To repel


was always the easier and more agreeable
course but to forbear seemed ofener the dictate
Of public duty. All this would have passed into
oblivion with tho close of the contest but for the
whispers we have heard in different quarters Of
suspicion whether this prominent Whig was not
Indifferent to the result, and that one did not
want Clay beaten, &c. We ask our friends in
other States to do the Wings Of New-Ycrk the
justice to regard all who may reecho these in


situations as miserable calumniators. The
Wings of New.York, without an exception that
we can imagine, did their whole duty in the
Presidential struggle. They had many sources
of perple1ity-Abolition, Nativism, &c.-and
wero divided in opinion, as they could hardly
fail TO be, with regard to the proper mode of
treating them. Soma leaned farther to this side,
some tc that, as feeling or Judgment prompted !;
but all did what they thought best for the CON-
mon cause, and did it with all their might
They made all the fight that was in them, and
were barely beaten-fouly, we are sure-by in
huences which they could not conquer.


We have been Immediately impelied to these
statements by letter from an eminent Wing in
snother State, who closes with the incidental
inquiry, /" Are you sure that all your State was
well cauyassed ?"-The answer to this must de-
oend ON what we are to consider well canvassed.'
That the State, as whole, was far better can
yassed than erer before, we know. The Wing
patty was better organized, more thoroughly sup
Piled with documents, and the State was better
informed and more decidedly with us ON the great
issues really depending than ever before. II we
could haya made the mass Of the People believe
that Mr. Polk actually held tho opinions on the
Tariff expressed in his own Speeches, and would
ac, upon them, we could have beaten him on that
one question. We are beaten, 10; for any thing


have said or done, but for what those alleged to
have been our grandfa,hers are charged with Go,
;ng or wishing TO do. Never before was SO great,
., general, so protrac,ed an effort made by the
WIGS Of New. York asIn the late contest. Not
that averY cnc did his utmost, or any thing like
!, this never happens. All parties are composed
of tbreo clssses-thosc who go; those who have
to he carried and thosa who carry them. Never
heeoro had we So many ready and willing to carry
.. ;b;s wear never had We fewer who had to DC
carried. We never expect to see greater pro-
.a.,;on Of working members in the Wing party
than we had this year.
Add vet it is t-uo that if all the Counties could
have beenas .ewel canvassed as some oil them
we.e we should have carried the State IN deh-
s,c., ,f all the fslsehood and fraud By which wo
are now oyesberne. This Is readily seen IN the
vote of the Couu,its East of the Hueson' with
R,cklsna, Montgomery, Oneida. aud some
Others ia which GU, mos. systematic and nniiting
Efforts were made. Had we had fifstrate speak
ers enough to canvass Jsfsrson, 0s~ego, ST.
