triumphed! and once more do We feel the
cheering rays of democracy shedding them
selvss;over our county-once more dues de-

her own intriguing schemes. Yazoe has for
a long time been under the dominion Of the
opposition, but thanks to few noble hearts
she is once more redeemed and regenerated
OuI principles have gained the ascendancy,
and why should We not rejoice-but We
would say to our democratic friends, let not
your rejoicings be mingled with oppression;
and LET US not seek "to triumph DER fallen

organize for the coming election, in 1e40.
