Democratic Triumphs.

The glorious triumph of the democrats in
Pennsylvania, and their great gains in Ohio,
Indiana and Maryland, are indicative of that
national success next year which will keep
our country on the democratic track, and Sc
cure it against the Vaccinations of sectional
abolition Sewardisn. The wandering ''polit-
ical harlots,' who are seeking the embraces
of every profigate faction, will only reap in
fanny as the reward of their labors. The great
principles of union and harmony which lie at
the foundation of the confederacy, will remain
firm in their position if the people but arouse
in season to discover the reasonable efforts of
the demagogues who talk about letting the
Union slide to accomplish their nefarious pur-
poses.
The Baltimore Republican of the 1lth thus
speaks of the result of the election in that
city =
| BALTIMORE REDEEMED.-1t is with no ordi-
| nary emotions we record the result OF vester-
| days struggle. 1t was battle in which all
| the higher and holier principles of our nature
were invoked, in opposition to the prejudice
and bigotry which bad been so sedulouslv cul-
tivated by the organs of know nothingism 1t
was battle between principles and prejudices
between the friends of constitutional rights
and those who, while boasting of their regard
| for Christianity, and their great love for the
country, were manifesting in their whole
course their opposition to the principles of
Christianity as proclaimed by its founder, and
their hostility TO the constitution as established
by the heroes and sages who won our liberties
| This is the battle which has been fought and
| gloriously won by the friends of the constitu-
tion and the rights of conscience. We rejoice
NOT so much that we have elected majority
of the council-not so much that we have
beaten the hosts Of know nothingism-but that
our city has shown itself true to the great
| charter of onr common country, which secures
! equal rights and equal privileges to every cit
izen. 1t is not the triumph OF party, but the
| triumph of reason and justice over .fanaticism
and prejudice. As such we rejoice in it as the
| harbinger of brighter and better days, when
the sober second thought of rejecting people
| shall stamp upon the wild intolerance and big
otry of the hour the seal of unmistakable con-
| demnation.
In reference to the present cheering aspect
of political affairs, the Albany Argus makes
| the following remarks - a sas
Now AND THEN.-A year ago the fortunes
of the democratic party seemed to be on the
| decline. States which had long been consid-
cred towers of strength, invincble strongholds
of democracy and which had at all times no.
! bly and successfully vindicated the democratic
party against the assaults of its enemies
turned against the democracy; defeat followed
| defeat; every northern state pronounced
against US, and the democratic party succeeded
only in electing few members of congress of
the ''housshold of faith"
| Then it was that the enemies of the demo-
cratic .party-those who had Increasingly de-
nounced its men, measures and principles with
a bitterness and vindictiveness unparalleled in
the annals of political warfare-asserted that
the democratic party had passed its meridian !;
