These are cheering times for democrats
The October elections following Immediately
upon the glorious triumph in Maine, and all
resulting as they have, show that the reaction
so thoroughly commenced in 'the East, has
extended itself to the South and West In
Georgia Hindooism is most thoroughly whip
ped-Johnson (Democratic) being elected
Governor by nearly two thousand majority
All the congressman are democrats, save,
nos.ibly. two. Poor Sam Is nowhere. In
Indiana the victory is equally as complete,
and in PENNSYLVANIA the democrats have
swept everything before them. ohio, where
the fuslonisls last year had $4,000 majority,
,hey have dwinded down this year to lO,O0O
or Is OOO-plainly indicating the doom that
awaits that il-assorted party in SO. The
ascendancy of the democratic party and
democratic principles IN tins country is as
much a fixed fact as that the sun will con-
tinuc to rise in the East, and we pity the
poor deuded followers of free-soilism, know
nohingism and all other vagares-who are
attempting to flatter themselves that there
will be any other result.

ELECTION JUBILEE ancient spirit
of elections returned this year, bringing
with its military parades, balls and concerts,
evidently to the satisfaction of everybody
Early on Tuesday strangers begun to en-
lven our streets, and by Wednesday the
hotels and other public places were full, lit
orally to overfowng. The ALLEN GREYs
from Brandon, beautifully uniformed and
Systematically drilled company comprised
mostly of young men, arrived OF the capital
Tuesday evening, who were appropriately
welcomed by E. p. Walton, jr aud escort
ed by our citizens to Masonic hall. This
company is entitled to special mention. 1t
is no easy work in these days of military
langulshment to maintain organization and
tactics; and this is, we believe, the only
live company in Vermont. Capt. Hyatt is
n gentleman of good taste and commands
with dignity and skill; his fist Lieutenant,
Joseph Bush is n thoroughbred soldier
whose ability is advan,ageOusly illustrated
by the Greys. The Boston Brass Band was
employed by the Greys for the occasion,
which gave perfect satisfaction On parade
their music was rich and heavy, and in the
concert room, charming Washington hall
was crowded, inside and om , to its full ca
pacity. Wednesday evening, giving the COM
pany handsome benefit Long may they
wave!
The exercises of Thursday were witness
ed by an immense concourse of people, and
won the plaudits of the multitude.
Thursday night was the ball-the grand
finale of the celebration. 1t was the rein
{ al
which we trust may be honored henceforth
with punctual observance. We Judge it TO
have been every way successful: the party
was gay and brilliant; and never did mortal
dance to subimer music Nothing occur
red to mar the blisstulness Of the hours
call went merry as marriage bell" The
occasion throughout was one to be remcm-
ed. ut Patriot.

The Times states that the Hon. Miss
Murray, maid of Honor to Queen Vic
toria, who has been travelling in this
country tor some two years, will pub
lsh a book on this country IN which
she will take decided ground in favor of
the Institutions of the Southland that
slavery is blessing to the negro. II
this be the case, we have only to say
that Miss Murry's opinions coincide
with many other thinking, dlspasslonate
persons who have recently gwen the
subject n consideration. The belief
that the position Of the negro at the
South is a natural and proper one is
gaining ground every day, and i, is on
ly by gross exageration of its abuses
that any public sentiment has ever been
created against it.-Doy Book.

MuslcAL.-Four young men, glorying IN
the name of "Nlendelssohns" gave what is
called a concert at the Town Hail. in this
village, last Wednesday evening. These
singing companies, which have become as
common as organ-grinders in n city, have
established quite business. and it is literally
an age
"When of song descend to trade"
and generous public" eagerly furnishes
ears and dimes OF the musical ability of
the company in question we have nothing in
particular to say, but from all we hear, pre-
sumo it is full an average with others Of the
same profession, but very foolishly they have
fallen into an error, which was the ruin of
the Hutchinson singers-that of introducing
into their performances mixture oil seniiment-
al politics, designed no doubt to pleas ethe
old women of both sexes, who always manifest
great sensation whenever nigger is alluded
to. One "Mr. Quavcr" very graciously in
formed the audience that the Millennium was
not expected to commence till the Fugitive
Slave Law is repealed-he "Quavsr" no
doubt having been too much occupied with
the Emusic in his SOUL" ever tohave learned
that the fugitive slave law is nothing more
nor less than an act to carry out an express
provision of the constitution. Such being the
fact, it does not become NICE yo4ng men en-
gagged in concert singing for the public, to
insult all but THE most low and depraved tastes
in the audience by stepping aside to drag in
such wonderful satire upon prominent Polit-
ical measure. The whole world has not run
mad on the subject of niggers, and as we al
ways like TO see real merit prosper in its
legitimate channel, permit us to suggest to
"the Memberships to cleanse their pro-
gramme from all low, political garbage, and
depend rather upon the good taste Of the
public than the prejudices. of the few for
success

BALTIMORE, Wednesday, Oct, 1855.
The election of our city Council to-
day passed off quietly. The vote has
fallen off from the last election. The
returns indicate large gains for the
Democrats.
Mr.. George Baker, the Democratic
candidate in the Nineteenth ward for
alderman, died this afternoon.
Eight Know No,hings and twelve
Democrats have been elected to the
city Council-a gain of six Democrats.
On the popular vote the Democrats
have about 900 ma ority; year ago
the Know Nothings had 2, ZOO.

We place before our readers this week,
the annual message of Gov. Royce There
is nothing remarkable about the document
and its brevty will preclude the necessity OF
any editorial compcnd. as all can read it
The suggestion of making drunkenness I"
legal offence is a good one, and one that we
have always contcnded should take the lead
of all others, if the subject was to be 'egis-
lated upon The idea of House of Cor
rection for juvenile offenders, is also good,
but the miserable twaddle about slavery
would be less disgracetul to younger head
But Judge Royce isnot too old to cater to the
caprice of popular malady.

The following article copied from the New
York Day Book, one of the best democratic
Journals in the country, expresses so fully
and explicitly our own views relative to the
true position of slavery that we give 1t to
our readers entire, as we find it. We wish
every man with free soil proclvties, in the
State of Vermont might read it, and would
have the honesty to candidly consider The
facts it contains. The lippancy with which
fusionists talk about "slavery aggression"
has so confined the minds of the ignorant and
thoughtless that many of them suppose no
doubt, they have but one political duty to
perform, and that is TO keep up an incessant
war upon an imaginary individual somewhere
who by accident is situated in the relative po-
sition ofmaster over a few colored people
1t is time sensible men were thinking about
something else, for we religously believe
and never have entertained any other opin-
ion that the condition of Master and Slave,
is as much necessity where there is a mix
ed population of white people and negroes,
as we do that the sun is essential TO give
light and heat. But read the article in ques-
ton and you will find arguments and facts
that cannot be gain said:

Sixteen days Later from California.

SlXCeeU udyS LtJeI IOm OdlllVlu
The steamer Northern Light arrived at New
York, on the 18th inst, with California dates to
the 2Oh of September. From its news we take
the following:
There have been large fires at Weaversville,
Trinity county, and at Grass Valley.
The Nicaragua steamer Uncle Sam, it will be
remembered, put into Acapulco with cholera on
board. Before she reached San Francisco, the
disease had carried off LOG of her passengers, of
which 90 were adults Seven others subsequent
" died in the hospital, and ID remained under
treatment. No new cases of cholera had occur
red at San Francisco, and the city was quite heal
thy.
The San Francisco papers give full detalls,
with the names of the victims. Out of the whole
number of deaths there were but five among the
cabin passengers The victims were chiefly Irish
and German emigrants. The Transcript says:
We have endeavored to gather authentic par
tculars in regard to the matter. Thus far our
efforts have not been as successful as we could
WISH The captain reports at the Custom House
the death of 1903 adults, 8 children, and 9 seamen
making 100 in all. We can find no passenger
who does not insist that at least 200 persons died,
and some appear confident that the number was
much larger
The law requires the captain to report the mum.
bers diving on his vessel, but those dying in port
are not included in the number, and this may &C
count for the discrepancy. After arriving at the
wharf, twenty.four patients were taken TO the
State Marine Hospital, of whom it is thought not
more than one-third will recover. Many of the
passengers set the number of the deceased as
heh as two hundred and fifty, but this is no
doubt an exaggeration."
The Herald of a subsequent date says that OF
the patients taken to the hospital seven had died.
Every attention that can be rendered to the sut-
ferers is freely bestowed by the officers OF the
institution, and the Sisters of Mercy, several of
whom have been in constant attendance upon the
cholera patients, since their admission to the hos
pal. TO the skiIful nursing of these noble la
dies may be attributed the safety of many whose
lives were at first despared of.
A passenger on the Uncle Sam says the panic
on board was dreadful Wives abandoned their
husbands, and husbands their wives, while both
abandoned their children.
The State election had resulted in favor of the
Know Nothngs Johnsons ma ority over Bgler
is over 1000. The vote on the liquor law IS close
and doubtful. The Senate stands II X. Ms,
and Is Democrats Assembly, 81 K. Ms 20
Democrats. The result took all parties by sur
prise. The whole K n. ticket is elected though
r. NJ. Anderson, candidate for It, Governor,
and Hugh C. Murray, candidate for Supreme
Justice, have succeeded by only small maJorltles.
The other candidates have from three to five
thousand majority.
