“Although we entertain not the slightest doubt as to the success of Mr. Pearl in the 13 ^th Senatorial District, we cannot but urge upon our friends in every town in this district, the necessity of prompt action at the ballot boxes on Monday next. It is not enough that we merely elect our candidate. Let us show our friends in other parts of the State, that we are as strong in numerical numbers, ( numerical numbers! ) as we are zealous in defence (sic) of sound principles. By a thorough turn out this Spring, we shall give our opponents no opportunity to boast even of an increase of numbers over us, since the last election. On the contrary, we shall have the satisfaction of witnessing an accession to our ranks.— Advertiser, April 8.

What a sagacious prediction! And how wonderfully verified by the event! Mr. Pearl, of whose success "we have not the slightest doubt,” and who was even to have been elected by an increased majority, such was the strength in “numerical numbers,” of the Jackson party in this district, comes between three and four hundred votes short of an election; and his opponent is chosen by a majority of more than three hundred. What an “accession” to the strength of the self-styled democratic party! For some reason or other, it would seem that the plain, honest, intelligent people of this district can’t be made to believe that Democracy and Jacksonism are precisely synonymous terms, and the old Democrats are so obstinate, that they won’t act as if they did believe it when they don’t. How much their confidence in the assertions and predictions of the Advertiser will be strengthened by the result of this election we cannot exactly say, but no doubt the election of Anti-Jackson representatives in every town in the county except one, and there of a doubtful one, and the choice of both the Anti-Jackson Senators by triumphant majorities, will have due weight in the people’s minds in settling that point, as well as in estimating the future prospects of Jacksonism in this country.
