rsEE RECENT ELECTIONS.


Although the Geographic returns are not as full as
could be desired it quite evident that the Admins
tration has sustained Waterloo defeats in ALL or al
most ALL the States in which elections were held last
/ Tuesday, and that the much Wanted Northern Ma
tionan Democracy has been essentially wiped out OF
| existence. New York, New Jersey Massachusetts,
and Michigan have followed the example set BY
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, three weeks
previous, and the result in little Delaware is as yet
not ascertained. One dispatch estimates the Black
| Republican majority in the next Federal House of
Representatives as high as fifty, This we think in
correct They may have majority for their pesti
lent organization but it will not be SIS large as that
We regret this inauspicious result DIS deeply as any
one can Our predictions were all in favor of the
| Northern National Democracy, for poorly as we
think Of IT, ana bad as is our opinion Of its general
honesty it is the only political organization at the
| North which keeps up even show, or a sembIauce
Of patriotism Or pretends that it will do the slightest
Justice to the South or carry out the guarantees of
our common Constitution, The fact that it has been
battling against, and has been overthrow by, the
Black Republicans led on and controlled by the arch
conspirator Seward is sufficient to make Us wish that
| it had been successful and we think the same wish
ought to inspire every true Southern heart Gould our
aspirations have governed, the Northern Democrats
would have crushed the Aboitionists and Black Re
publicans everywhere, just the Aboltioniss and
Black Republicans have crushed them. But I'VE never
/ entertained much hope as our readers are aware,
/ and cur apprehensions and predictions have been
realized sooner than expected. The whole North,
with hardly an exception, sin the hands Of the Free
sellers. We didn't expect that event to occur before
/ 1860. II has occurred two years in advance of our
| predictions and now that fanaticsm has made its
mightiest preliminary leap, we trust we shall not be
| pitched into by the conservative, " Unonatany-
price gentlemen, if we tell them to prepare for the
approaching reign of William II. Seward, and the alb
solute domination Of the odious and detestable prin
cpes he ncucates and enforces with matchless tact
| and consummate ability The hand writing is plainly
inscribed the political wall Let us meet the issue
like men, or submit like men. Let US have no more
threatening or pulling, or fancy-blustering The
time has passed for that.
The only bright spot in the North is Illinois There
according to the telegraph, the Douglas Democrats
have carried the day, after fighting the most tremen-
dous political battle record. 1t is said that they
have the Legislature If this be true the reelection
of Judge Douglas to the United States Senate is
feed fact 1t il also said that they have carried
majority of the Congressman, We are glad of this
but the triumph of Douglas will be anything but
agreeable to the Administration. Everything the
Administration could do to defeat him, was done and
his victory over the combined forces of the Black
Republicans and the Executive Department Of the
Government, is the most stupendous known to party
annals. But, we fear Douglas is not going to be as
good Democrat or as true national man hereafter
as formerly. He is an aspirant for the Presidency
and being very shrewd well very ambitious, and
