The Election Copsi-sd all the Old Huiks-Derso

Government, ,cere Ntur 50 Wsak, Distracted, or
Disabled.
The defeat of both Seymour and Bronson, the
respective candidates OF the divided democracy,
for Governor OF this State and sso that Of Sc ward
the whig candidate for the Uoi.ed States Senate,
results that may tend to the reconstruction AID
unity Of both parties. Much depends upon the
action Of the incoming Legal sture. The course OF
noncommistsl members Of tie House will be strict
~ observed, and their objects closely scrutinized.
The only matters Of moment 10 winch much in
terest is felt, aud those at all canvassed ut tho
polls we're with references TO the 90. stion Of United
States Senator and the prohibi,ory liquor law. No
other questions were III issue. The Nebraska mat
ter, about which such tremendous excitement was
raised, scarcely alluded to cared for, and in
truth, dwinded into insignifcance in com parison
with the issues above referred TO.
Neither the hsrds or the s,fts have gained
sDy advantage over each other. TIE popu-
laIi,y OF the national administration was not
tested at the polls between the two factions OF the
democracy. TIE votes OF the hards were divided
between Bronson, Seymour, and UllmSn. One quar-
ter OF Seymours vote came from tle aot Maine Law
hUnksrs, and one third, II not one-balf Of UImans
from the same section Of the democracy, under the
belief that votes given TO Bronson, would not be so
certain VI defe sting Clark or Seymour as cast for
unDaD. IL IL evh ent therefore, that there W - no
direct ties, OF Strength between the hunkers ard the
barDbnrnels, or sOlts. The harcs have nov swo
Sta Off. Mr.. Folett, Canal Commissioner. and
Mr.. Clark, safe Prison Inspe TOR, both o. whom will
remain IN office another year, and then retire 20
private life. The sOi.s have not representative in
either Of the State departments, when ear since
they held dtm,nant and intoeIant ssay. In the
Senate, The ards have nve members, the s0fts OILY
two. In the Iex. house the nt rds and s0s viii be
nearly tqua y divided, and both coLb,nei will not
constitute one.third OF the house. Beng in gu n

Mstowno "friendsto re ward or enemies TO punish"
they may glide along smoothly through the ses.
sion without performing any deed obj .yiopable 10
ei.her section, or disturb the elements which the
late election mas undoubtedly Gained.
Unoer such state of things, IL there any proba-
bity OF rpesdy democratic fusion?" Will the
campaign of 1866, be harmonious Will the
shoulder in the next engagement ? Will
truce be sffected-a suspension of Sec
ticnal bosfilities-a permanent peace ! Yes,
under certain conditions. Toere mast be no desire
manifested tor the reelection OF Franklin Pierce;
Msrcy, Cushing and Campbell must net undertake
to "cr0sh out" any more hunkers who happen to
hold Subordinate stations under them all the
CochraD.'s, Schslrs, Fowler's. O'Conor's and

Geyed fbe n still les which exist-musJ BE- sub

mour's elected, under The spurious guse OF union
and harmony" This ea,y aDd easy prediction
must he Is warning tor future action. Much ef.rI,
uDtujng and enduring, must be had, before the
democratic party can regain the strength and po-
