Tlc Victories OF the Democracy,

HE victories Oh the democracy,
The success of the Administration has been
brilliant beyond example in our politics; and
those WHO have represented the President to
have lost ground, have been rcfuted by every
election that has taken place since the naugu.
rat ion. This succession of victories, too, has
been achieved after the policy of the admins.
traton had been eXcmpfcd in action. The
! President simply recognized the. Democratic
party as re. united on its old toundation-on
! those old States rights and Uuion principles, a
! rigid adherence to which has maintained the
democracy as party, and preserved the integ-
rity of the nation. lie has planted himself on
the compromise platform. lie has followed
the frank declaration of the inaugural with an
energetic execution of the laws, and carried
out in his appointments the policy of conciIia-
tion that was laid down by the democratic
party at Baltimore. The consequence is peace
and harmony to all sections Of the Union, and
victories everywhere for the Democracy thus
exemplifying the old maxim, that as federalism
sinks the country rises.
| The successes Of the democracy should
cheer every true friend Of Republican progress
The administration stands frner in the sup.
port of the people now, than it did on the day
of the delivery Of the inaugural. The elections
show this. One of the old Wing States is
Kentucky, but when were the Wings so badly
off us they are now in that State, with one half
of the delegation to Congress democrats
Tennessee, too, has cut up the whg brigade ter
ribly, by electing Andrew Johnson Governor
by an unprecedented majority, and democrat.

North Carolina has gained on her democratic
delegation. We name these States because

gerry. If the ridiculous charge of affiliation
with abolitonsm does not make capital for
those who utter il in these States, when will
it make capital9 If we go to other States at
the South, to Virginia, Alabama and Texas,
there are the same gratifying results The
Old Dominion leads off with an entire demo-
cratic delegation to Congress. Alabama has
gained democratic memhcr-has democra.
tic majority in her Legislature to elect two
United States Senators, and Democratic
Governor. Texas has elected two democrats.
To crown all, as to the Southern elections in
the most important of all, where the Union
Wings were confident of victory, in Georgia,
the democrats have made clean work, by elec.
ting their governor, a majority of Congress
men, and Of the Legislature Then there is a
gain of one member in Arkansas. At the
North, the election in Maine shows demo.
cratic vote large enough, when united, to over
whelm whigsm. In Vermont the democracy
have made a splendid gain. In Connecticut
they have swept the beard in town elections
In tile great States of Pennsylvania and Ohio,
their majority is unprecedented. Such are
the results in six months Of the trial of the Dol.
icy of the administration. When was such
success seen before in the career of an
administration.
These brilliant triumphs should stimulate
the democracy Of this State to Jealous sup
port Of their ticket. They, too. stand on the
same platform with their friends abroad. Their
candidates give a cordial support to the Bal.
more creed, and as hearty support to the Ad-
ministraton. Both are opposed to all coa.
ton. Both, therefore, stand on national
ground. In Ohio, in Pennsylvania, everywhere,
the Democracy have had to contend with all
| factions, and have beaten them all. So let it
be in Massachusetts. There is no other true
course to take but to rally round Bishop and
