STILL ANOTHER GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC TRl-
UAPH-THE PHILADELPHIA MUNICIPAL ELEC-
TON.
The election in Philadelphia Tuesday last for NUM-
cpal officers resulted in full complete, and overwhem-
ing democratic triumph The result is summed up in the
subjoaed elegraphic despatch received from Philadelphia
yesterday afternoon:
1.-THE entire democratic ticket ID elected. yaux, for
MAYOR has 3SI3 majority.
The democrats have also majority IN both branches Of
the city council The select council stands, with hosc bold
ing over, Is democrats 10 opposition, aud the common
council stands co democrats to IL opposition"
The Pennsylvanian OF yesterday morning says:
have made clean sweep OF the eity-mayor solicitor
comptroller receiver taxes and city The
birth place q know-nothingism has become it grave The
country this victory the democratic party but II Il
dae wings say that they acted In per-
feet harmony with the democracy for they both now stand
al inents and purposes upon the political platform.
We extend 10 them the right hand Of fellowship FOR their
BIZ O-arnz yesterday All who have contributed TO this
unparalleled success deserve well OF their country.
Who this land Of liberty would have supposed before
the appeared that miserable organization like that Of
order could have dominated intelligent popua
like that which Philadelphia contains But such the
fact The world many Of its epochs, has exhibited such
examples and they have in every instance tended to purity
the political atmosphere However depressing they may be
for the moment they improve public opinion, and direct
% Just appreciation OF right and justice. We have
borne temporary s with becoming fortitude, and Prov
nce has Al length rewarded manhood. Let all
rgoce 10 higher wisdom than possesses and never
doubt the ultimate triumph Of Justice and equality.
