The Late Elections.

Since our last issue we have had some.
what complete returns from the elections
in Penn, Ohio and Indiana. The results
are indeed glorious. Nothing has for 4
long time transpired so calculated to in
spire the hearts of true patriots as the lat.
evidence of the political revolution that is
quietly working its way through the free
States. To give an idea Of the revolution
we give some Of the changes in two years.
1t will be recollected that Pennsylvania
and Indiana decided the last presidential
election. In Pennsylvania, after that
election, their delegation in Congress stood
Democrat Is, Opposition, 10, by the late
election it is changed to Dem. 5 to Oppo-
stion 20, Indiana, which then was to 5,
s to s. Ohio, which was 9 to ~, is now
6 to ii. Even such statement fails to
give an adequate idea of the revolution
that has been effected. A careful analy.
sis of the majorities show that an aggre-
gate vote would show much more largely
for the Republicans. Seldom if ever in a
contest of this kind had there been more
extensive or INSCRIPTIONS use Of patronage
than in the recent election in Pa, Nor
did the politicians of that State fail to
make vigorous use of the tactics which
have SO often succeeded of denying their
own principles, and promising whatever
the opposition desired. This has been
eminently rsuccessful heretofore, but this
election proves that it can succeed no
longer.
The result Of these elections is a stun
ming rebuke to the President and his sup.
porters. and affords demonstration that
the entire north is redeemed. We shall
wait with anxiety the result in New York
and Illinois. If the Empire State will
come up to the work with but moderate
decree Of the Pennsylvania spirit, the adj
mnistration in the next Congress will be
entirely Frustrated.

The Suffolk Bank.

We are pleased to be able to state that
the great Bank controversy is probably
ended, The Suffolk Bank has issued
circular, announcing its intention to sur
render its agency in the 4" foreign money
system as heretofore conducted" The
Directors of the Suffolk Bank have in
formed the Bank of Mutual Redemption
that, for the present, they will send to
that Bank all bills of New England Banks
for which it was agent and redeem for
them all bills for which the Suffolk Bank
is agout. Transactions of this kind have
been mutually accomplished, and, of
course, this implies that the annoying WIS.,
its of the Suffolk Bank to the counters of
the country Banks are suspended.
1t is quite probable that this change in
the course of the Suffolk Bank is aitrib-
utible TO an opinion to which Messrs. b.
r. Curtis, Caleb Gushing and Benz. f.
Butler have affixed their names, which ap-
pears in the daily paperr, in which they
assert that confederacy of the mana
gers of the Suffolk Bank to use the CAPT.
tai of that Bank, and the control which ii
now possesses over the bills of the coun-
try banks, to compel them to elect not to
employ this agency, Bank of Mutual Re-
