THE LATE ELECTIONS.

r. The result of the August Elections, sam up
glorious victory for the Democratic Party, TO
have been expected notwithstanding the crOlef"g of
the reckless Know Nothing Organs, and the fuse
returns sent out by the Telegraph Lines, which seem
10 have been converted into machines TO ad-
varce the interests of the enemies of Democracy.
By the late mails we learn that the Democratic
