2To member cf the Whig party, that we
ate aware cf dreams of dissolving our pre
sent organization. We are aware that some
timid persons have said, that we find our
selves in a hopeless minority, and that all
future efforts may be vain. But all such
persons take a very superficial view, of the
subject. - We admit that we were badly
beaten in the late Presidential election, so
far as the electoral vote was concerned. But
when we look at the popular vote, we per
ceive at once that a very small per centage
of change would alter the result; for many
of the States which gave their electoral
vote to Gen. Pierce, did it by a very small
majority.' ; The popular vote is as follows:
; - For Pierce, ; 1,607,723
For Scott, - 1,386,934
For all others, 108,213
3,162,869
On the majority system, 1,531,435 would be
necessary to choice, which is 26,287 less than
Pierce received. On the calculation made above
it will be seen that Gen. Pierce's majority on
the whole, popular vote ?s only about 8-10 of
one per cent; so that ahaoge of 4-10 of one
per cent, or 4 votes in 1,000, would have de
feated hi electionon : the majority system.
Thocgh there was a perfect defection among
the whigs at the late election, yet Gen. Scott
received 1,336,934 votes; which is a larger vote
than was given to Gen. Taylor, Mr. Clay, or
any other candidate, either whig or democrat,
Pierce -only excepted. Why, tben,should whigs
despair! With a force of 1,337,000 tried men,!
we are in a good situation to make not only a
firm stand, but a successful onset, whenever a
favorable opportunity shall present itself. An
army of 1,337,000 veterans certainly forms a
very good nucleus around which may rally r
force equal to almost any emergency. ;
The Whigs of the country have man
fully resisted Ihereckleess tendencies of the
present locofoco party in their first develop
ments and they are not prepared to give up
to them now, when they, assume, a more
frightful shape, and have acquired a more
alarming character! " If they have'been sin
cere up to Jthe present time, and have done
battle manfully for the sake of principle,
how could or can the j now give over, and
submit cowardly to, locofoco misrule? A
bandon their principles iu this hour of dan
ffef; and desert 'their, tjuntry, when that
country is fn peril? It.cannot be! No Whig,
wuo has. labored for the right,' and has
withstood th6"iron will of Gen. Jackson, or
tho recklessness of. President Polk, will
prostrate himself at, the feet of Franknn
Pierce, whose'selection for the, high office
of President of the' United States astonish
ed himself and the whole country, includ
ing the Locofocos themselves. The sincere
and honest of our party, who have been
ftrue to their creed, and who have been mov
ed5 by patriotic ; considerations in? resisting
kwless redicalism.vwill never for a moment
entertain the idea of 'prostrating themselves
at the footstool of" power, or acquiescing in
"a policy they believe to be fraught with in
jury to the people, and dishonor and dis
grace to the country 1 "r , , . '

"Has Mrs. Prewett any idea of where
Joe and March came from previous to be
ing purchased in New Orleans? Did they
leave fathcr4 mother, wife children up in
and a curly-headed baby whose memory
tugged at , his heart-strings, . and maybe
March was longing for "the old folks at
home." v . .
As we arc part . Irish, we answer' your
question by asking another: Have you any
idea where the boy came from that was re
cently advertised in a Philadelphia paper as
a runaway apprentice to a shomaker? We
have mislaid the paper and forget ' exactly
the amount of the reward offered, but be
lieve it was ten ; dollars. Do you not think
very likely lie has a mother and father, per
haps starving in a northern hovel, that he
dare not go to see, for fear his master will
find him there and drag him back into ser
vice..' And where do you think that poor
white boy; is gone with his little pack upon
his back and famine in his face and a dread
fear in his heart? .He will become a sailor
or a common drudge in a foreign land, tnd
perhaps never see home and kindred again.
If he was' a1 negro, the Abolitionists would
interfere to buy his freedom and let him go
home to his poor brokenhearted mother;
but, alas! he is white, and.philanthropy is
not: interested in his case. And will you,
Mr3. Swisshelm.let us know where the thou

mother, father, sister, brother or children

and partings and farewells would '. fill the
land as much as now. The millineum is
not yet quite come. Wait a little longer
- Gen. Keuberi Davis
When the late Democratic Convention re
fused to nominate Gen. Davis for Congress
for the State -at large, and conferred the
honor on a I'new man," Reuben told the
Convention that he woUlJnot be choked, off
in that way that he had very satisfactory
evidence that he was the choice of the entire
nQrth -that the north -was entitled to the
candidate.and that he was not willing that the
northern counties should be cheated out of
their choice by a few tricksters, who, by in
trteue and artful management contrived to
o .. ...... o
get coutrol of the Convention lie - would
submit to no such intrigue and management,
but would appeal to the great Convention
of the people on the day of election, to
whose decision he would bow with respect,
and none other. Well, he has appealed and
his determination to go to,' Congress, if 'he
can, has created a mighty muss in the camp
of the "hnrmoniuus." How this breach
will be healed , we know not and care less,
but certain it is Reub has created consider-
s able uneasiness in the ranks of the "unter-
rified." -
Gen. Davis seems exceedingly anxious to
secure a seat in Congress. And Mr. Barks -dale,
the Democratic nominee, it seems is
not indisposed to get into thesame pew, for
they ,arefc both pressing their claims before
the people in the northern part of the State,
and judging, from the newspaper notices of
their speeches,' it'is a perfect ''Kilkenny caf
figbt'V' between them. Now, " if Reuben
"being the strongest man" can, gerrymander
the said Mr. Barksdaleout of said pew and
foist himself into it, if he can, will it not be
a 'decidedly democratic proceeding? And
would it not be as fully, orthodox, if the
General were to lasso Mr: Barksdale and
gag him; and not allow him to discuss the
proceedings at all? We deferentially sub
mit these points to the Democracy. This
is a family quarrel over "the spoils and we
would not intrude ourselves within reach of
the hovering broomsticks. We can exclaim,
however, with the woman in the bear fight,
"Fight dor, fight bear, .
No dog of ours there.'
We are only astonished that the "cohesive
power" should so often act by contraries in
the ranks of the "harmonious ;

cating the claims of Gov. Foote for the office
to which he aspires; neither are we in favor
