The Election.

The battle is fought-the election is
over. and We publish to>day the list Of
killed and wounded. as far as has been
ascertained. The result promises to be
all that was anticipated by our Demo-
cratic friends. The Old Dominion elects
a Democratic Attorney General and Com.
missioner Of Public Works, sends an un-
broken Democratic delegation to Con.
gress. and has large Democratic majori-
ty in the Legislature.
The vote cast in The eastern end Of this
district has been very meager one. and

as large as usual Tie scheme Of our
opponents TO avoid rousing an interest in

were Iulted to sleep. While the Know,
Nothings we've active and viSil"nt; and
it the western end Of the district had not
done better than this end. we should have
been defeated. We warned our friends
against this state of affairs, but they
needed US not. There are also 9th
er reasons why the vote in the east

were backward with their spring work.
and there were some who. occupying "
prominent posi- ion in cur party. did NOT

spirit would be cherished by our people, and
that the government of the commou country might
ever be adnnstered In the spirit of honor and good
faith; deprecating "the dshoroIed day which shou
witness this great confederation broken into frag-
menis"
The Boston Traveller has spoken Of this speesh in
g dspsraging tone, calling it departure IRON the

'Ihat there are psany men In Massachusetts who re
