sB The Boston Post gives the following brief but
telling sketch of the late victories of the Democracy
The Whig leaders declare that the Democratic party
is falling to pieces, and the people answer this decla
ration by gains for the Democrats in all quarters
The Post says
"The success of the administration has been bril-
liant beyond example in our politics; and those who
have represented the President to have lost ground
have been refuted by every election that has taken
place since the inauguration This succession of
victories too, has been achieved after the policy of
the administration had been eXemplifed in action.
The President simply recognized the democratic par
ty reunited on its old foundations-on those old
States Rights and Union principles, rigid adher-
ence to which has maintained the democracy as
party and preserved the integrity of the nation. He
has planted himself on the compromise platform. He
has followed the frank declaration of the inaugural
with energetic execution Of the laws, an4carred
out in his appointments the policy RECONCILIATION
that was laid down by the democratic party at Bal
tlnorc. The consequence is peace and harmony to
all sections of the Union and victories every where
for the democracy; thus exemplifying the old maxim
that as federalism sinks the country rises
The successes of the democracy should cheer
ry true friend of republican progress The admins
tration stands firmer in the support of the people
now than it did on the day of the delivery of the in
augural. The elections show this. One of the old
whig States is Kentucky, but when were the wings
SO badly off as they in that State with one
half of the delegation to Congress democrats? Tenn
essee, too has cut up the whig brigade terribly, by
electing Andrew johnson governor by an unprecc-
dented majority and democratic majority of its del
egation in Congress. North Carolina has gained on
her democratic delegation. We name these States
because they are emphatically the strong holds of
whggery. If the ridiculous charge of afliation with
aboltonism does not make capital for those who ut
ter it, in these States, when will make capital? If
60 to other States at the South to Virginia. Ala
bama and Texas, there are the same gratifying re-
suits. The Old Dominion leads off with entire
Democratic delegation to Congress. Alabama has
gained Democratic membcr-has Democratic ma
orty in her Legislature to elect two U. S. Senators,
and Democratic Governor Texas has elected two
Democrats. To crown all, as to the Southern cleo
tions in the most important Of all, where the Union
Wings" were confdentsof victory, in Georgia, the
Democrats have nsaasrclean work by clecting their
Governor, majority of Congressman and of the
Legislature Then there is gain of one member in
| Arkansas. At the North the election in Maine
shows Democratic vote large enough when, united
to overwhelm whigism. In Vermont the Democracy
have made splendid gain. In Connecticut they
| have swept the board in town elections. In the
great States of Pennsylvania and Ohio their ma aory
| is unprecedented! Such the results in SIX
months of the trial of the policy of the Administra
tion When was such success seen before in the
career of an Administrations"
