1V We hope in our next issue to be
able to give the result of the election held
today in the. great States of New York,
Massachusetts, New Jersey. Illinois and
Michigan. al'-.a ia'5r ID
In Massachusetts, the most desperate
efforts ae bel pg made to defeat the Re
publican candidates for Congress. We
fear the effort will be successful in some
of the Districts. a'' The Americans are
running candidate inevery District. and
Old Hunkerism in every possible form is
arrayed against the Republicans. With
the Democracy united and the opposition
divided into two or three hostile parties,
each with their candidates, it is almost too
much to expect that the Republicans will
be able to carry all the members. Still
we shall hope to hear that the true Re
publicans Of that noble Common wealth
have triumphed over all the factions. n,
In New York the same state of things
exists with even greater bitterness. Here
there are four full tickets. The Republi-
cans, the Democrats, the Americans and
the Abolitionists. The Democrats, Ameri-
cans, and Abolitionists, whether privately
agreeing among themselves or not, pub
licly agree most cordially in abusing the
Republicans To read their several papers
one would think there was partnership
formed between these parties for the spe-
cial purpose of defeating the Republicans
for the mutual benefit of the individual
members of the firm. And, true to say,
the only hope of the future success of
either, hangs upon the possibility of the
defeat of the Republican party. Still, with
all this array against them we hope to
chronicle the triumph of the right in New
York. a. ""-7E .7.. - o"
In Mich gan. the home of Gen. Cass,
and the very nursery of Democracy here
tofore, we expect a complete, and over
whelming Republican victory. All our
information is at fault if the last hopes of
Lecomptonism is not wiped out in the
Peninsular State. a.5..
In Illinois the contest is the fercest.-
Democracy however is not in the fight.
1t was long ago seen to be useless to 60
before the people of that State on the iss-
ues between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. The popular mind is so
imbued with Republican principles, that
the only contest is, who will best carry
them out. Douglas, as all know, voted
with the Republic ans in the Senate all
through the last Congress, against the en-
tire vote of the Democratic party in that
body except Stewart and Broderick. And |
now, to secure his reelection he pours
out his vials of Nnmeasurable wrath upon
the Democratic party, and stealing the
principles OF. the Republicans. claims the
votes of the people on the ground that he
hates the Administration more, and is
more hated and prosecuted by the Ad-
in turn, than the Republicans
themselves. This scheme of 'cutting un-
Ter" may win, but we doubt it. We re-
peat our prediction of last week that the
Republicans will carry six of the nine
Members of Congress, and the State
icket. le,f- .f5 -s s,y s...... ~. .j...,..,
The result of these elections will be
ooked for with intense interest. On it
will depend the complexion Of the next
Iouse of Representatives in Congress.
And on that mag depend the fate of our
ountry. The bold projects of the slave
ower-the acquisition Of Cuba, and Cen
raj America, with the avowed design Of
erpetuating and extending the curse of /
uman bondage, and the re-opening of the /
african siave-trade, with the same view c
re directly involved in these elections. - 4
