The Nevada Democrat., 1858-11-24
The Election News al washington.

The washington States, . Democratic paper,
referring to the late elections says
while the result is to be deeply deplored,
there is no use attempting to smother the facts
which produced it. These unfortunate causes
will not be kept down. The proscriplive tests
based upon the issue of Lecomptonsm, rise iD
judgment against the Administration and
when they take such shapes as Pennsy lvania
coujures them up in, they are desperately effec-
tive, aud mark political epochs OF momeutous
import
One of the most remarkable features of the
effect produced in this city yesterday by the
news, was that while the defeat Of the Admin
IslraliOn was the chief topic of conversation
and cUmmrnt on the street-curners, aud in the
saloons aud hotel lObbes, we did not hear one
single voice raised in palliati0n of the causes
or IN denunciaiion OF the result When we
think that it is democratic administration that
suffers this defeat-a defeat not only springing
from political routine, but extending to private
aud conscientious people, who cheered Its ad
vent--it is humliating to contemplate. 1t is
humlliatlng, however necessary the ordeal. Ii
proves that, after all experiment of tightytwO o
years of the ndvidual-Soveregn system, the
American Republic is satisfied with its own de-
mocracy, aud utterly aud maufully opposed to
the Introduction among us of those imperial
and monarchial proScriptive tests aud personal
distinctions which, outside Of our own country,
send noble heads To the block and noble hearts
into penal servitude."
