Politics Just Nav.

IL the most amusing thing IN the
world, this game of politics, Just now, in
particular. After campaign totally I'M
like any Of its predccessors-came an
election, which in results reSembled very
much the campaign.
The Democratic party firmly seated in
power, with the control of all the offices,
all the patronage, and all the means to
keep itself in place, was in day stript of
everything, and thrown so completely in
the background, that it will take years
for it. recover its old position. And the
fun of the whole thing is, no one can tell
BY whom the blow was given. Some as
cribe it to the Know -Nothings, others Ia
ment in bitterness of spirit the Nebraska
bill. and charge the whole thing to it. Al
agree, however, that they have been bad
ly whipped, by something.
1t is very laughable too, to see how the
victors and vanquished take it. On the
one side, coons, in most preposterous and
lndelicate attitudes, generally on their
headquarters, with exultant grins, are
represented, while such newspapers as
were not fortunate enough to possess that
animal, brought out their big guns, and
what the announcement of the result
lacked in pictorial establishment was
more than made up by Tremendous type
Twenty Of our exchanges are Fusion, and
we have taken particular notice of what
they have said. Our researches have re-
suited as follows:
In these twenty papers, the phrase
"Ohio Redeemed" has been used at the
head Of articles 1872 times.
The same thing slightly varied, lO7
times.
"The People have Spoken 100 times.
Traitors Rebuked," 1874 times.
100000 Guns for Ohio" u times.
In the other eight the number of "Guns
Tor Ohio" ranged everywhere from 100 to
sO,OOo.)
Downfall of the Administration, o6
times.
''Judases Rebuked," 272 times.
And so on. We don't blame them for
feeling good. They have perfect and
indisputable right to.
On the other hand the result is taken
IN variety Of ways. Some, make very
wry, emetical face over it, and lament
over the fallen fortunes of their party, and
insist upon the ruination of the country,
with such apparent seriousness, that one
can almost believe they really are in ear
nest, and that the whole idea of party is
not capital joke. Others go upon the
ancient and approved maxim that ''there's
no use of crying for split milk" and join
in the laugh, though it is at their own ex-
pense. Sensible fellows There is no
qualification in beating men who will feel
good over the result, let it be which way
it will. Among this class is the editor of
the Toledo Republican. He announces
the result thus:
The ELECTION IN Lucas. UspAPA1-
LELLED SUCCESS !! The WHOLE Demo-
CRATIC TICKET ELEcrED!!! OVER THE
LEFr.-The result of the election Yesterday
was such as might we'll astonish even
Democrats themselves. Although the
whole Wing, Freesoil and Know Nothing
forces were organized in opposition, and
the utmost exertions made to bring defeat
and dismay upon the Democracy, we are
prepared to announce to-day our belief,
from returns thus far, that, as far as Lucas
county is concerned, Mr.. Commager is
elected to represent us in the Salt river
country, by majority which we need not
be at the trouble to compute.
Mr.. Cooley is chosed Judge in the same
region, by a majority against him of a
hundred or so less.
The whole county ticket is saved from
the troubles and vexations of official station
for the next two years.
The State ticket we cannot give the re-
suit upon, as we understand, in the second
ward Of this city, and in some of the ont
towns, the Fusionists are still voting
against it.
AS for the result in this District, We
are perfectly satisfied. Mr. Lindsey made
q good Representative, but he is better
farmer, and his mind is better fitted 70,
"seyd korn" than for speech
Besides. his successful competitor is
lawyer, and the country can better affore
tospare dozen lawyers than one farmer
And furthermore, as we shall probably ge
aas many "Pub. Docs.," from Sherman a.
we have from Lindsey. we repeat we ar.
perfectly satisfied.
