The Nevada Democrat., 1856-11-12
NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. l2, 1856.
THO End of Politics.

The election over. and our best hopes fully
realized in the triumph of the Democratic cause
in our county and State we hold 1t a subject OF
high congratulation with those who have labor
cd for that glorious result Not only have we
trumphed as a party. but with it, triumphs the
Union. The patriotic spirit which looks above
all, to the preservation of the Republic and the
Constitution as it is, has cause TO rejoice that
the seeds of fanaticism which were strewn broad
cast upon the land, have withered upon our soil.
Although they may, unfortunately. in other
parts of our country, take root and flourish.
there is no danger that they will cumber the
ground of our Pacific State. We have besides,
in this result, vndicatcd the truth. that the man
of the north and of the SOUTH may, under the
conservative influence Of our constitution, come
together, and dwell in the bonds of that frater-
nal regard which our patriotic fathers fondly
hoped, was forever to keep us one people undrr
common government.
Despite the appeals which have been made to
the pride and passions Of our friends of ofnorthern
birth, despite the wild "shreks for freedom in
the ears of our adopted citizens, who they hop
ed to delude with that potent charm, the De-
mocracy went forth with their principles plain
" written upon their banners, and the hearts of
the people have rallied to their support. The
narrow and lntolerant spirit which would have
fostered religious bigotry, has been rebuked,
that VIII ch sought to excite hatred and dstrust
of our citizens of foreign birth, has perishcd-
and. above all that which contemned the patri-
OTIS prayer, and would have seen the Gland rent
with civil feuds," has gone down beneath the
tread of the army of Democracy While we
have no desire to cxult over PROSTATE foe,
there are reflections connected with this result,
we cannot rcpress. We cannot but believe that
after all the excitement which has been gotten
up in other parts Of the country, that the sober
thought of the people, has declared in favor of
the just and liberal principles which have
stretched out the borders of the country, and
made it happy and prosperous. We cannot be-
leve that from end to end, the people have ar
raytd themselves upon a sectional line, and
have come to disregard the solemn admonitions
of Washington. We do not believe it, because

our country, to drive either section to so ex-
treme an expedient. We do not believe it, be-
cause we regard our State as an epitome of the
whole Union in which, the preponderance of
northern men is in proportion, even greater
than in the confederacy, and here just senti-
ment has prevailed, end they have made wise
use Of the power they possessed, So we believe
it will be In the great States of the North. The
masses Of the people have not caught that infcc-
tion from abolitonism, which inculcates deadly
hostilities to the South, and at this moment we
earnestly hope and believe that the noble de-
mocracy Of Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois,
Connecticut and other northern States, are
sending up shouts of triumph for the cause Of
the Union, and mingling their pledges of fdeli-
ty to the Constitution as it is; as it came to us
from the hands of our fathers
few weeks will bring us the news through
out the country, and that ship which brings us
the tidings OF the success Of Democracy, will
glide lighter and swifter upon the waters than
any keel that has ever ploughed the deep.
