"In The Midst of Revolution."—Who does not remember the annunciation last winter in the Senate Chamber, that we were in the midst of a revolution; and who does not now perceive that the orator was correct for once? The revolution then proclaimed, is completed to the very letter in Pennsylvania. Last winter the Pennsylvania Delegation in Congress stood, seventeen for the Bank, and eleven against it. "But we have gone through a revolutionary process, and the election just over, terminated in the choice of seventeen members against the Bank, and eleven in favor of it—an exact revolution—a perfect turning the tables. Our opponents, in making their little revolution, have kindly stepped down from their height, and have assisted us to take their position.—The thanks of the Democratic party are eminently due to the professors of Panic and Pressure, for their successful efforts in bringing about the "revolution." Such revolutions are the invariable rewards of the labors of the Aristocratic party in our Republic. Their efforts always result in our favor.

But a short time is passed since the government of Pennsylvania expressed itself in favor of the re-charter of the Bank; and her delegation in Congress voted for the measure. We were, however, in "the midst of a revolution;" and last winter the Governor and legislature of Pennsylvania proclaimed in a voice of thunder, their hostility to the monster, at the very moment when the whole Bank party were at work to make the State more friendly to the cause by cruelly oppressing her; and at the very moment when they expected the Governor and the legislature to spring into their arms, the revolution was rapidly progressing. It is past—long may it be remembered with joy—the revolution of 1831

The revolution however was not confined to this State. It has gained us one member of Congress from Louisiana, where we never had a vote: one additional from Illinois: six additional from Georgia: and many more will be added by the coming elections.

It has revolutionized Senators Bell, of New Hampshire, Sprague of Maine, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, and doubtless Southard, of the same State. Poindexter, Leigh and others, will also undergo the searching operation.

Connecticut, too, has been within two hundred votes of a complete revolution—showing nearly six thousand voters revolutionized in the short space of six months.

We might stretch out our list of the particulars of this revolution; but enough is shown to exhibit the foresight of Mr. Clay, in his formidable annunciation of the events to be brought about by himself and his friends; for, to their exertions we must attribute many of the changes which have strengthened the hands of the Democratic party. The revolution was not entirely bloodless either; and the panic orator told us it would not be.—Pennsylvanian.
