The Late Election. 1.-THE r,

suit of the late electiol IS IN Kentucky.
Tennessee. Missouri, Texas, Aabsma,
North Carolina and Louisiana, indicate,
Enthusiastically, that the people Of those
States have seen enough of the hideous
proportions of the defunct "Sam." liz
Kentucky the Know Nothings had SIX o.
the ten Congressman IN the last delegation
now they have but two. At that rate o.
discount by the time the next Congress
ional election takes place, they VIII be less
than "nothing." At the Gubernatorla
election, Morehead, Know Nothing, mao
about 1000 majority over his Democratic
competitor; now the Democratic STATE
Treasurer has majority of $4,000. The
Democratic gains in the other States are
very near equal to those in Kentucky
clearly proving that the "sober second
thought" is invariable in favor Of the
Democracy Reversions Of the prosperity
Of the Democratic party sometimes occur
by an appeal to the passions and prejudices
of those who are guided more by excite
ment than just conception of true and
genuine principles; but when that excite
ment dies, as it must at some time, they
will return to the "hrst principles" which
are the elements of the Democratic party.
Its objects are the good of the nation, and
hence the nation supports it.

The Trouble i'm India.

The rewS from India evidently excItes
alarm in the British Government, for though
the final issue of this outbreak must result
in the subjugation OF the revolters, followed
by terrible punishment as ar example,
yet the contest may be carried on for a
longer period than is cuvenient or profitable
to the British Government. Commerce
suffers by the exaclions which are required
of ii In time Of war. and British commerce.
as expensive and as recuperative as 1t may
be. must still feel severely the cost Of the
continual hostilities in which England
seems to be involved, wi h a prospect OF
further long-continued and exl ensive OPP
erations in India and China. The principle
of building the commercial greatness OF a
country upon the subjugation of nations is
bad one, however greatly it has been ex-
tolled by English writer's. 1t takes centur-
les, even with the best educational means,
and the most determined social and political
efforts, to erase from people their feelings
of nationality, and to blot out the memory
of their freedom from the control Of a
master British rule in India has not been
always of that kind to conciliate the natives
Though modified much in latter years, the
wrongs Inflicted by the East India Com
pany in its days Of greatest power. and
which drew down upon it the eloquent
denunciaiions of Burke, must still tester in
the popular mind. Hence the necessity
of guarding against just such outbreaks as
the British Government are now called upon
to suppress and 10 punish. That they will
do it is certain, for England cannot afford
to lose her to maintain. But with this ex-
ample of false principle before her, on
which to base her commercial greatness,
why seek to repeat it in China? The in
tention 10 conquer the latter country is
repudiated in the speeches of British states
men, and in the comments of leading Eng
lish journals. yet ifconquest is not intended.

unless force is continually applied to gov
eminent which excludes all outside inter
ference with its policy? Wil!not any power
which undertakes This formidable task, with
so intractable and self-sufiicent nation as
the Chinese, be driven from one step to
another, till finally conquest and subsection
will be the only remedies left it for its own
safety? Can any one power long maintain
such a colossal empire by force--Chins

In the last NJ. c. Republican, an article
over the signature of W. j. H., which
seems to be designed in part as reply to
an article we wrote some two weeks since.
under the caption of "road work" The
writer seems to entertain the idea that some
legal gentleman wrote the article. In or
der to Set this matter right, we will remark
that zoe wrote the artlcle-the unkind allu-
sion was uncalled for in this connection.
We gave the result of the case as an
item of news, and if We were not misin-
formed, we gave a correct statement We
learn that Judge Egbert and the Justice
are we'll satisfied with their decision, and
it is highly probable that their equilibrium
will not be materially disturbed by the
communication referred to.
| ~Some three weeks since we had the
bad luck to run out of paper, and could is
sue only half-sheet, and since that time
we have been twitted about it by severa
subscribers, who seemed to think it an cav
ful'' thing if they got only half-sheet, TO
one week. We like punctuality, and hope
some of our delinquents will make a home
application of it; but We don't like to b
found fault with, about circumstances tina
we cannot control.
AS there has been an average harves
taken care Of in our county, We hope on
patrons will remember the printers an
. give them lift-if it is nothing more tina
a "half- sheet" it will be very acceptable
