THE LATE ELECTIONS.

We do not know how the result of the elections may
be regarded by others but for our own part we are sin
cerey glad of it, We glad Of it, not because we have
any sympathy with aboltonists and reyoutionss, but
because have long desired to see the masks stripped
from the faces of band OF as arch hypocrtes ana traitors
dsgraced humanity They stand now fully exposed
in the light of day We have believed in the natu
allies of the South but the contrary always looked
forward to the time when they would stand exposed IN
their coors That the natural allies have done the
job in these elections is clear as mathematical demon
straton for il must be remembered that the wings were In
minority in these States and the accession OF strengh
which gave them the late elections could have been OBJ
tanned from other than the democratic or natu-
raj ally ranks.-Peersburg Ints'lgencer.
That zoe should arrive conclusion totally different
from the above neither surprises dsturbs us Obsery
ing facts from different points of yiew and Judging them
by different standards deductions cannot fail to
hct and conclusions clash and not then
tonshed that calm review Of the late elections speaks to
language wise resembling the uterings contained
in the article Of the nellgencer For ourselves We con
ceve that the elections in question have demonstrated
more clearly than has before been shown that If the
South has ything TO hope from the justice the modera-
ton and the love of right of the North it is to the demo-
cratic party and to it alone that she must look.
1t is that combination Of all the odds and ends Of
northern politics. aided by the entire strength of the wings
has succeeded in achieving triumph the democracy
and the time those principles in the strict and
honest observance of which only hope section
lies but ii is no less that amid the desertions, deec
obtained stood forth noble and not insignificant
band of democrats every State contesiing every nch Of
ground and battling manuy to the last under banners
on which were inscribed "Religous Freedom and "The
Constitutional Rights of the Southn
In every State city and hamlet of the North the graft
flying spectacle has been exhibited of content to base
their organization recognition of the equality Of south
members of the confederacy and sink swim with
the privileges and prerogaves of men who them and
are NV A
was made the test they accepted the ISSUE said "he fate
of the ship shall be mine and the that close
the sinking vessel engulphed them together.
But we may be asked what boots their aid If
plishes nothing
The question is pertinent one though coming with bad
grace from southern whg. What shall be done in
the combination of wings, iree-soers, Mane-awitcs and
knownothngs prove always too strong for the democra
cy2 What shall do when this last and strongest bar
against the tyranny of enemies shall be forever
thrown down We hope souherner will hesitate to
the If this beastly coalition should succeed in
obtaining permanent control in the North and by conse
quence in the Union if they should be able to elect
President and majority in Congress- and, finally ii they
should wed the power thus obtained for oppression
there is ultimatum left but slavery sunion aud
no freeman hesitate to the choice
There many in the South who love the Union as
Of power and consider ii essential the prosperity
of these States There others whose admiration for it
is sentiment of the heart conviction of the mind
and there third and fear growing class who
slider the Union engine of oppression and tyranny. The
orgies of free-so will disgust the first estrange the
ond and every tic that may bind the third and when
this day comes the Union ends But may be permitted
to hope still that faction and f,nacsm viii reign for
ever and, following the analogy Of the whose heroic
exclamation have quoted above, hope this defiant
party tboms deep in the ocean, may again rise above
the biows prepared TO march TO conquest
