Webster! The People are rapidly recovering from the fumes of the Log-cabin humbugs; and every Election, as far as heard from, goes more, or less, in our favor. Every shot tells. The following account is opened by the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times:
"Truth Is Mighty, And Will Prevail."
—Since the election of Harrison, and since the Whigs have shown how they manage the affairs of Government, six States have returned to their sober second thought, and the following votes are the result of their unclouded reason—
In Alabama, 6,000
Tennessee, 9,000
Maine, 12,000
Vermont, 13,000
Indiana, 15,000
Maryland, 6,000
Showing a total Democratic gain of 61,000!!!
Well may the poet exclaim:
Truth crushed to earth will rise again—
The eternal years of God are hers:
But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid its worshippers!
