 Thus, it will be seen that in the October elections the democrats have done hne ou' siness, and that the party is gaining in strength north, south, east and west. The only dark spot or the horizon is iu the neighboring city of Baltimore. An election was held there last Wednesday for members of the common council, and the democrats were driven away from the polls by organized bands of " Plug Ugies." The democratic candidates withdrew from the contest during the early part ot the day, and as democrat who offered to vote was in danger of losing his life, there was no op position to the Plugs consequently they "electeCl" their candidates. It Is quite evident that Baltimore is given over to rowdyism, and as it is unsafe to walk the streets at midday she will be the sufferer. The southern mer- chants and people, under the existing state of chases there, unless a change takes place, and that speedily.
 Elections are to be held next month in Lou isiana, Maryland, New York and Massachusetts,
 
 all events they will have a majority in the next House of Representatives of not less than from 20 to 25 over the combined opposition sufficient for all practical purposes and demon- strates great change since the members of the last House were elected
 The governorship of Nebraska is again on the tapis, and it is said that successor to Gov. Izard is to be appointed shortly. You will re- member that Richardson of Illinois was ap- pointed to relieve him, but as Richardson would not accept he was retained in the office. The report in regard to an anticipated change now. gains credence, because B. 5. Chapman, late delegate from the territory, and the per- son who holds the certificate of the board of canvassers as the delegate elect for the next Congress, were recently here and perhaps one or both of them, took action in the matter. shall not believe that Izard is out, until l am credibly informed his successor has taken the oath of office, and entered upon the discharge of the duties of the office.

 It has been charged that Senator Hunter would oppose Mr. Buchanan's administration on account of its Walker Kansas, policy. He has recently addressed letter to the Hon. $. | r. Leake defining his position, which is pub l iished. He condemns the course of Gov. w al ker in Kansas, but that the charge of hostility to the administration Is unfounded in anything he has said or done, and he hopes and expects to be able to support 1t in the main. He says, Fl voted for him as President, and not only en- certain no feeling of hostility towards him, but 1 1 wish him success. He has only to carry out the principles of the democratic party, as we understand them in Virginia, to command my cordial support. These, far as applicable, will afford the test by which l shall udge his administration, and support or oppose his acts as they conform to or depart from these prin- cipes, nor shall be disposed to apply that test ln any captious or unkind spirit, but as justly and fairly as 1 can. More 1 could not say for any administration or man. 1 never would commit myself to support internationally the future acts of any man, but will judge them as they arise, to sustain them when 1 believe they are right, and to oppose them when think they are wrong"
