importance that their victory in this State will
have on the Presidential eection-that is, proyi-
ded they are able to maintain it, and manage as
able tactican would do That, however, is doubt
ful, inasmuch it is well known that the locofoco
vote was much smaller at this election than it
wasin 1874, and that party will be desperate in the
Presidential election. Their resources great,

of wing candidate for the Presidency, if locofoco
votes prevent it. On such occasion
they will come forward in all their might. With
out reference to the Presidency, however, the
wings have undoubtedly gained u great deal by
this election. We would advise the wings, if they
wish to succeed, in lS4S, to keep quiet and not run
riot over their recent triumphs, for too much ex-
ultation will most assuredly produce reaction in
the ranks of the democracy, which will sweep the
field for the next Presidency.
The late election, indicates that the wings have
got great deal to do, for it is fact, that in four
teen States in which elections have taken place
this year, the aggregate falling off in the votes,
amounts to the enormous number of 275,
This is a criterion OF the spirit that has animated
the people of the whole co11try since 1874
In regard to the election in this State we are
glad that the result is as it is. The whole ma
chinery Of our State government will now be
nicely balanced, and the man who seeks to dis
turb the equilibrium, will probably sacrifice him

o'clock.

bad feeling expressed against the French.
