PoITIcAL-THE LATE ELECTIONS.
The political news from the Atlantic side, brought
by the Sonora, is of a most cheering character The
State elections in Missouri Kentucky, North Carolina
and Arkansas have resulted in the complete triumph
OF the National Democracy. In the first mentioned
State, Democrats have been elected to Congress in
every district. The new State Of Minnesota has also
been trlumphantly carried BY the Democracy. The
November elections will result in large Democratic
gains. In Kansas, the Lecompton Constitution has
been rejected by a large majority This will not sur
prise anybody. Nm no quarter, for some time past
was different result anticipated The subsldence Of
the agitation by which the Territory had been 80 long
convused, afforded the people an opportunity for re-
hection-and by their votes, the frst Mon Jay Of
August, they decided against the establishment Of
State Government till their population and condition
should warrant the taking OF grave a STEP In this
they were wise. California is example Of the evil
effects attending the assumption Of the rens Of gov
ernment too soon. II we had remained q Territory
longer, we would not to-day be Overburdened with
debts. F. Herald.
