men. No man could have better concentra-
ted the s ungt; of our opponents than Mr.
Tankersley and Mr. Bras-hear. We have
beaten them on principles.
On Monday night, the Democrats of the
city gathered at the crossing of Main and
Congress streets. As the returns came in
from the county, making each time the ma-
jority tlie more certain, they sent up shout
after shout, that made the welkin ring.
They seized Old Smokey, raised him upon
their shoulders, and bore him triumphantly
to a neighboring pile of bricks, where he
rave Oiem a speech, attributing the whole
thing to the triumph of principle over men.
He was greeted with thundering applause.
Others spoke as they were called out, and
the Democracy seemed hardly able to con-
tain themselves with their joy. Before 11
o'clock we had the returns all in, and the
jmatter settled beyond a perad venture.—
'Again we say—
Hurrah for the Democracy of Harris
County.
