Election Returns.

We have waited until this week TO

that We could survey the field and give
our readers some reliable footings--and
most gloriously do they figure up. Prin-
ciple, Morality, Good order, Human free
dom and Human Progression have once
more prevailed. The lying, cheating
border rv6ian slarocras have again been
most signally rebuked by a virtuous and
intelligent northern population. These
public slanderers and defamcrs of private
charactcrs-thcse scoffers at religion, and
upholders of low doggcries, have again
been taught the wholesome lesson, that

her administration and her political integ-
rity. Kanter, Peck-the Detroit Free
Press, and the whole brood Of State SLAM
derers down to the little imported Cunning
ham "foundl:ng" o. the Free Press of
this place have been most efTectually whip
ped back to their kennels; and Republican
ism stands gloriously redeemed from the
foul aspersions of its INSCRIPTIONS but
powerless opposers.

The large and increased majorities OF
Republican votes this spring is as uncx-
pected as it is gratifying to every true
patriot. Michigan has done nobly, and
we congratulate our friends everywhere
upon the great triumph in the Peninsula
State. There is great heart in the ma
tion whose pulsations are responsive to
the caus, of liberty and justice. Good
,nen sud true patriots will rejoice over it.
Our sons ia Kansas will hail it as the har-
binger Of brighter day, and labor with in

tyranncal national administration. Free
dom breathes again.

before they were fairly out Of the woods.

We have at least what we believe to be
reliable information from the recent judi
cial election in this district. Our infor-
nation is to the effect that Woodworth,
Republican is certainly elected" The
withdrawal of Mr.. Asbmun from the con-
test, and the Unexpectedly large vote for
Moore, democratic, in Midland county,
seemed TO render the latter's election
quite probable, from previous advices.--

Schuyler Colfax, M. c., editor:
ave rarely allude to Patent Medicines
editorially, leaving them to speak for
themselves in our advertising columns !;
but it is only sheer justice to say that Dr.
Roback's scandinavian Remedies are per-
forming some extraordinary cures in
Northern and Central Indiana, and really
seem to be worthy of trial by the afflicted.
We have noticed in our Indiana exchang-
es alone, accounts of three or four remark
able cures effected by them within the
past month, certified to by persons with
whom we are well acquainted. And we
select from them the following, because
the signature will be well known to all
our old citizens. Morris Morris is one of
the most valued and widely known resi-
dents of Indianapolis, was for many years
State Auditor, and enjoys the hi CHEST
confidence of all who know him. He has
