‘POLITICAL UNDERCURRENTS.
'It has often been remarked, both _by our
‘own and English writers, as a pecu_li_ar fact
in our history, that our fiercest political ex.‘
citements end in mere smoke when the bat-
tle is over. But he who has held his hand
on the Nation’s pulse for the last two weeks.
and watched its steady and resolute throb.
will feel that this statement is no longer true.
On the contrary, ifa thoughtful man. l1_t’-
will feel that there is something more orni-
nous and startlingin the presvnt Sntl. quiet.
_yet profound feeling than in the heat and iii-
.mult of the contest. Never bcfore_ has there
‘rbeen such a contest, in which the defeated
were proudcr than the victors, as in this.
To us this unconscious expression of feeling
utters louder ilian all the pl‘()t9Sl.21tl0n$ during
the whole campaign, the motives and virtue
of the Whig p-.1;-iy. A man beaten in a noble
cause by foul means never feels lium‘aled .
With an open bosom and an open brow he
stands face to face with his foe. asking noth-
ing but a fairfield and a fair fight. It then
he is struck from behind bya miserable sciill-
ion and disarmed,.lie walks aw.-iy with ii
burning sense of wrong. yet Wl‘-ll 9 8l*m_°"
before which his vicolrious encmy quails
and is silent.
There are other feelings which oyerleap
the boundaries of party. especially In the
country. and set strongly against particular
classes of men. There is in_ ti very large
party a stern indignation against the N in-
ralized Citizens who have allowed them-
selves to be thrown in an almost unbroken
mass against the VVhigs,and thus done them-
selves more injury in the long run th:in
their enemies could ever do them._
The so called Liberty party and its leaders
have injurctl thernselve as much as they
barn injured Human Freedom. The Pen-
ple of the Country have heretofore regarded
them, however misguided, as men of princi-
pie. That belief, so far as the leaders of
the party are concerned, is gone for ever,
-‘and they are hereafter to be regarded astlie
-‘most unscrupulous party men in the coun-
'try, sinking their own prospects and the
‘-hopes of Freedom in their hate—not only
upholding their man right or wrong, but
believing him infallible. Sympathy for
them is gone, and they have the undivided
scorn and contempt of their countrymen.
They may declaim, or sneer, or swagger as
they please‘, the foot of an indignant People
are upon their necks,and they shall yet
acknowledge its pressure. The fact that
they have professed to strike for Liberty has
heretofore " covered a multitude of sins ;”
but now having struck against it, ihe_r_nask
is offend the hour of retribution will come.
Out of the smoke and chaos of this struggle
men are waking up different beings and
many will find themselves occupying vcry
unexpected positions. The vengance ofout-
raged Virtue and confidence will unite in de-
ail if not in the aggregate.
There is another large class who indulge
in a reckless feeling as if all were lost—
as if there was no use in struggling against
wrong and for the welfare of - the people
They care not what befalls us if it but teach
the Nation the folly that has been wrought.
To such we would say, away with such
feelings. The sword that hath smitten you
cuts worst in the end v.ith the back than
the'e;lge, and hurts worst at the handle than
at the point in a long fight.
These feelings we have noticed are not
aimless and L'fTt‘.'l'\’(:'SCE‘t'll, dis-ppearing with
the dust of the conflict. Fixed drep in the
public heart, they will strengthen with evrey
day's experience and every day's rttro-
spect oftlie past._

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
We never knew a better spirit manifested
among the whigs ofConnecticut. Although
disappointed at the general result, and deep-
ly mortified that their favorite for the Presi-
rlency—one whom they would delight to see
honored with the highest officc in the gift of
the republic——is defeated. they feel that they
have done their duty—that in their own State
they are victors, and that if the decision of
the great question had rested upon them, all
would have been well. Never before have
they polled so l.irge a vote as at the. recent
election. Their nearest approach to it was
in 1840, when they gave 3l.60l votes for
Harrison—about 1300 less than the number
now given for Mr. Clay. They have in-
creased their vote over last spring about
3000.
Every man who voted the Whig Ticket
at the recent election, we believe can be de-
pendcd upon as true to the cause. The con-
servatives, who in 1840. contributed in part
to our triumph, have with a few honorable ex-
ceptions, gone back to the enemy—-the Abo-
litionist clung to their own ticks-t—and we
had none with us but those who acted from
principle, and who can be depended upon in
dark as well as prosperous times. Our vic-
tory therefore was a pure Whig victory———
and with our thousands ofnoble-hearted free-
men we shall, if we keep our armor on. al-
ways he prepared to encounter the enemy
successfully. Let us then keep up our or-
ganizationu In a few weeks we shall again
be called into the field. The next Spring
election will be one of immense importance.
Not only are the Governor and Legislature
to be chosen. but members of Congress and
Sherifis; and on our delegationgin the next
Congress may hang the fate of the Tarifi”.
Ifthe Whigs of Connecticut preserve their
organization, and do their duty at the polls,
we shall be represented by men who can be
depended upon in the approaching crisis--
by men who will not cringe to Southern in-
fluence,bnt who will support those measures
in the success of which the prosperity oftliis
Common wealth and the Union is involved.
These things should be seriously pondered
by,_,our friends, and if rightly weighed-; -they
will produce good results, . -. 1
Our ascendancy in the Statemust be main-
'ta.i7ted.—-this we believe is the united senti-
merit of the thirty three thousand true heart-
ed Whigs-of Connecticut.
.
Business Checked.-—We have hea rd ofsev
er.il enterprises being abandoned on accoun
of the result of the Election, and some of
our manufacturing establislimt-rits have tho’t
it prudent to contract their operations- State-
ments of this kind will be seized upon for
misrepresentation but the facts remain stub-
born. We .-re informed that manufacturers
who had ordered machinery to be construc-
ted in tbiscity. have in sortie cases counter-
iiianded their orders. Many workmen will
necessarily be discharged; and if any em-
ployer thinks it his duty to discharge first
those who resigned til€fIlSt".l\’tS to the direc-
tion of the enemies of the establishment,
no one can wonder at his course. Work-
men will not be discharged for having honest-
ly lornied their own opinion; but those who
placed more confidence in the (lt:l't-ilg0gllf'S
than in the substantial practical men who
were striving to conduct .1 prosperous busi-
ness and support the families of the work-
men, conuot be greatly surprised it they are
left to consort with their on n chosen lrientls.
Many of our employers have been so afraid
of whatever migli look like proscription.
that they have suffered political (leSpt.’|':idOf:‘S
to prowl about their establishments, drawing
away the confidence of the \\0l'l€lli€0, and
infecting them with preduilice against the
very men whose interests were litiking with
their own.—Phil. Gaz.
Seventy hands have been discharged from
a large 'l‘.-nnery in Buffalo since the result
of the election was known. Under the reign
of Free Trade, people can make more with
their capital otherwise than by investing it in
any species ofdomestic nianufaciure. As it
is in Buflalo, so it will probably be-through
out the Union. Confidence in the perina-
nencc of the Tariff" policy of the cotiritry is
(ll stroycd, and with that goes every thing
like domestic industry and prosperity.

The Practical Efects of .M r. Polk’s E-

power, in this city, where a‘ large factory
was in progress oferection,have discontinued
the work. There is no encouragement to
go on with it under the admitnistrazion of

finished much cheaper when the price of la-
bor has been brought down_ to the hard
money standard. More than half the ine-

by the discontiniiance of this work are Polk-
