The Middlebury People's Press

We read no paper that reasons more philosophically, more profoundly, or more sagaciously, on the politics of the country, than the New Orleans Bee. Every one feels the truth and force of its remarks. Take, for example, the following:

When General Harrison was nominated by the Harrisburg Convention, bets were freely offered that he would not carry four States in the Union. These wagers were predicated on the disastrous reverses which the whigs had met with everywhere. Nevertheless, in eleven months, sixteen States were revolutionized. The locos lost their money, Chapman's comb was clipped, and the people elected Harrison almost by acclamation. This was the consequence of whig exertion. What happened in 1840, will happen again in 1844. The whigs are now about as badly off as they were in 1839. That is, they have lost State after State through sheer default, as the returns abundantly demonstrate. When the great issue of the Presidential question comes to be fairly presented before the people, the whigs will awaken from their lethargy, and show their numerical strength. Their efforts cannot fail to achieve a victory as signal as that of '40. We are no whit discouraged by recent rebuffs, because they plainly show that we have been defeated by want of energy and activity. The whig party will fight when they have a paramount object to accomplish, and not before. The locos poll their full strength invariably. Hence we conclude, that at the Presidential election the latter will do very little better than they have done this year, while the whigs will poll their reserve of some 200,000 or 300,000 voters.
