The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1858-11-11
The Late Electior..

he TcIuIHo HUH tuc inherent states
in which elections were held on Tues
day oflast week, are exceedingly re-
freshing. In every free State have the
Administration been spurned and
trampled under foot. In every free
state have Lecomptonism and bred
Scott been repudiated. The northern
people throttle them wherever they
find them. In New York, the Ad-
ministration have been most signally
rebuked. The Republicans have glo-
riously triumphed, leaving not grease
spot of Lecomptonism in the State.
They have elected the whole State
ticket, by 10000 majority, elected a
large majority of both branches of the
Legislature, and have elected % of the
80 members of Congress, being a gain
of seven. This is glorious for the old
Empire State, and terrible blow to
the Administration.
New Jersey, too, has crowned her.
self with glory. The Republicans
have made a clean sweep of the State,
electing a decided majority of the
Legislature, thus securing United
States Senator in the place of the
doughface Wright, and every member
of Congress, which is a gain of three.
The returns from Massachusetts are
exceedingly refreshing. The Demo-
cratic party, aided and abetted by the
adipocre wings, is just about where it
was, and just about where it is likely
to be, and that is just nowhere. The
Republicans carry everything-all
the Members of Congress, Governor,
Lieut.. Governor, and other Executive
officers, the House of Representatives,
the Senate and the Executive Council.
MIR. Banks is reelected Governor by
over 10000. Lawrence the American
candidate, is left most dismally out in
the cold, and in future ages will be
obliged to procure affidavits that he
was candidate at all. In the Con-
gressional elections, there is much
matter for congratulation. Many of
the new men will be solid acquisitions
to the party of freedom in Washing
ton. In the lid Congressional Dis
trict Mr.. Charles Francis Adams is
elected. In the WITH, Mr.. Alexander
Rice, an intelligent merchant, and
sound Republican is chosen. Mr..
Burlingame is returned from the With
District, and Mr.. Eliot, an old and
useful and trustworthy Member, sue
ceeds r. B. Hall. Mr.. Thayer returns
from the Worcester District.
Illinois has done nobly. She has
pronounced against both Buchanan and
Douglas at the same time, by her pop
ular vote. The latest returns brings
the Observation-Disclosures that the entire
State ticket is elected by FIVE thousand
majority. Although it is a matter Of
deep regret everywhere that Douglas
has -seemignly triumphed, when it was
undoubtingly expected that a majority
of her Legislature would be favorable
to the election of Mr.. Lincoln to the
United States Senate; and while Mr.
Douglas reelection is considered, next
to a Buchanan victory, disastrou.
result, yet even his election is verdict
pronounced by the people of Illinois
against Buchanan and his pet, LIE
compton.
i Wisconsin has more than sustained
her reputation for unflinching fidelit,
to Republican principles and love o
freedom. The Republicans have car
ried the Legislature, and elected ou
three members of Congress by an in
creased aggregate majority. al
, things taken into consideration, tn,
general result of the fall elections i
most gratifying to every Republican
and seals the doom of Lecomptonisn
at the North. 1t has now not foot O
, ground to stand upon in all the Ere
States; what they will do now, remain
| to be seen. Here stands the monu
ment of freedom, erected by the peopl
in recording their verdict against Blu
chan, bred Scott, and Lecompton. I
, is a beautiful pyramid to look upon, an
, we recommend it to the admiration Q
