The Result.

Election 10 now over, and the result
WILSON be made known through the state.
But from what, We have already heard
we can anticipate but one result, and that
is, the entire defeat Of the democratic
party. Iowa has heretofore been esteem.
ed one Of the invulnerable fortress Of de-
mocracy, but the issues which were pre-.
sensed 10 the people were such a. to rem.
der it vulnerable a. every. point. It can.
not now be denied but that their defeat
was ewing to the position OF the two. par.
ties; and present appearances Indicate
that Iowa so long star Of the first magni-
tade in the galaxy Of democratic dia-
dems, will be represented in tie next
Congress by two wing: representatives
and one wing U. S. senator. will have a
wing Governor and legislature short
thu. the party will be routed. horse, foot,
and dragoon, and all this can be a,trib-
uted to bu. one cause, to wit the Nebras-
ka. inquiry.
The test has now been tried, and as
far As the news has reached US, only the
one result. follows--.hat the people have
broken from their feal,y to pary--have
resisted all discipline drill and other con-
sideratons, and only sought to punish
the perpetrators Of this act. Il is fact
inconuoyer.able, that when a party be-
comes too strong it falls to pieces by ito
own weight. So il has been with the
democracy--they have been victorious
everywhere, and finally es,eeming them
selves lnvulnerable to defeat, have sough,
to carry through this measure. But alas,
the returns are forboding OF evil to them.
The Little Giant, as champion OF the
bill, will find in the resul, of this cam.
pa'gn. thu, though he may be gan, Of
great power and influence, yet Bill Ne.
bEaska will prove to be the veritable Jack
me GIant Miller.
With US in Cedar, is all we can answer
or, and here the facts are too plain, and
must bring conviction home to every rea-
'oning mind, that the great issue was this
measure, and tina, the people Of Old Ce.
lar have set aside every other consider
'.ion, broken over all old party prejudi-
;es and discipline. and voted their sen,i.
nents, or nearly so, upon this bill.
We never did, nor do we now esteem
ha, It is or was democratic measure. AS
! democratic candidate ourselves, we de-
lounced j, and so did the other county
andidates. But Stephen Hempst lad,
IS the leader OF democracy, having spo.
Ten here and espJused the measure, we
we're bound by it, and all sank together
Ne submitted to the experiment. aud j,
las proved fatal, but no, loo late for Us to
etrace our steps. l, is the action OF our
~ stiat has dDtus ti4lS uS.
efeat, and we have every reason to be- |
leve that the democrats as a party are
light upon this question, and never will
e brought to sanction or approve of it.
They were unfortunate in their selection
( candidates for some Of the impor,an,
fices, and this defeat will only have a
ala,ary effect upon them and prepare
nem for more efficient and energetic ac-
on in time to come. When they pre-
ent their candidates for public suffer.
&c upon only the sterling principles Of
cmocraey, to which when they have ad.
cred faithfully, and discarded the isms
used by presidential aspirants to gain
re lnaueace Of the South, they have cv-
r been triumphant. AS a party, the
have now two recent epochs to
dmonish them for the future namely,
,e Nicholson letter campaign, and their
'ebra.ka defeat.
