some twenty -four OF thirty members in the

SOMETHING TO Thank COP FoR.-We find
the following remarkable sentence at the
close of an article in the Nashville Union

North
"The democracy Of the North have every
reason to be proud of the manner in which
they have sustained themselves on those is
sues, for If they have not absolutely triumph.
ed over the opposition, they have much more
than maintained their relative strength"
That's equal to the poor fellow who, with
his wife and little ones, was "wrecked" on
the Missssip. Finding tho boat bound to 90
down, he leaped overheard and swan ashore,
leaving his helpless family to their fate
Crawling up the bank and taking view of

lowed him from the sinking vessel, and in the
exubernnce Of his gratitude no exclaimed

Nav YoRK.--The N. York Herald, which
has all nlong been contendng that the De-
mocracy would carry the elections 10 the
Empire State, has an article in its issue of
the 22d, in which il predicts their utter de.
feat--upon the ground that the ndmnistra-
ton party is so badly split up that all efforts
to harmonizo will prove futile, and that with
out union and harmony success is impossi-
bic. Two weeks ago tho Herald was sam
gune, and played the confidence game strong;
now il is sounding the key-notes of despair.
For our part we care but little how the New
York elections may result; for, if there is
any people in the world who exemplify tho
doctrine Of total depravity, they are the poll
ticians of that State.
