THE LATE ELECTIONS.

The New Orleans Courier in a recent number. dis.
csscs at some length the causes which produced the
defeats in the late State elections, OF the
Democratic candidates.
"Thc prime cause" II truly says. "was the attempt
made by Democratic to establish and enforce test o'
Democracy cxtraneous to the Democratic PLATFORM
"Instead Of taking as the measure ofDcmocracy the
principles embodied In the Cincinnati resolutions ana
only those the unprecedented and suicidal policy wa.
adopted of ruling out of the party all WHO "llere"
from the great minority Of Democrats upon II mere
matter of detail or who differed from mem " " Wy
true construction aud application of those Democratic
prnciples ON which all agreed. The speakers ana
presses who have nangurated and pursued thls most
assuming and most unfortunate scheme, ins'cau o
giving their thoughts and labor to the propagation
of u, mocracv and opposition to sectional annticism
have wasted both In attacks upon the friends OF state
RIGHTS and the sistaners of the Democratic faith.
1.-The trhing schism which occurred in discussing
the proper method of settling the affair oi the Con
stituton of Kansas would have soon been healed
1t was but transient ripple on the surface. 1t was
an issue that had none of the elements OF permanen-
cv The August vote in Kansas would have ended IT
forever. Had II hecn let alone IT would have died
speedy natural death. Three years hence Drmncr US
would have forgotten that there was ever difference
of opinion among them as to whether the Lecompton
Constitution was not u rejection oi the VIII
Of the majority of the people of Kcnsas. Had that
course been pursued. forty Democrats would have
been elected to Congress from Pennsylvania, ohic
and Indiana.
"Will this unucky blundcr be adhered to by The
Washington Union and other journals which snecz
whenever the Union takes snuff? VIII they suspend
their half insane. driycng and dcspicahlr persona
attacks upon Democrats in time to save ih" Demo
Gratis Of Illinois and New York from thorough ~
feat? Do they labor for Black Republican Majority
in Congress? If so they have played into the hand
of Seward with most profoundly siraicgeilc sklll
They have created omedvsion in Democratic rank"
and given an impetus Of encouragement 70 thc sec
tionalism which they could have derived from ~

The HOWARD ASSOCIATION OF New ORLEASs.-The
unexpected duration and intensity of the epidemic in
New Orleans having nearly exhausted the amount Of

observe, that the charity they seek shall not be

THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF THE Society ISLANDS
A Washington despatch, of the 18th inst. says:
The Government is in receipt Of proposition from
the Society Islanders for annexation to the United
States 1t is stated in diplomatic circles that tie mp
pication came through the French Minister which is
not improbable. The subject will be matnrcly con
sdcred. as American commerce has long felt the
