rbe Late Elections.

II
The overwhelming result of the October
eiectionsin Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Iowa, has been followed by no less
signal defeat of the Administration party IN
New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts,, III
inois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Little New Jersey is entitled to lead the col
umn. She has thrown off the Infamous
burden of Democracy, and now stands
erect, redeemed. regenerated, disenthralled-
She sends an unbroken delegation to Con-
gress, in favor of Free Labor, Free Speech,
and Free Soil, and elects a Republican State
Legislature, who are to choose a successor
to William Wright in the u. s. Senate
which viii be gain of one in that strong
hold of slavery. At the last election the
Democrats elected three out of five Repre-
sentatives to Congress. This year they
elect O. Good for little New JerseyI
New York comes next. The Republican
State ticket has been chosen by nearly TWEEN
ty thousand majority. A large majority of
the Legislature are Republican, and out of
the thirty-three delegates to Congress, only
four are Administration men. This result
is almost as unexpected as that of PENN
sylvania. In vain was the Custom House
and Post Office money lavished by Mr.. Bu-
chanan. The people rose superior to bribes
rs well as threats, and administered a re-
buke to the policy which has marked the
present Administration, which will not soon
be forgotten.
Massachusetts, has made "clean sweep"
Hunkerdom made its last struggle to defeat
Burlingame in the 9Th District, but he tri-
umphed, and the Massachusetts phalanx is
unbroken Republican. Banks is elected
Governor by an increased majority, and the
Legislature is largely Republican. Know
Nothingism has been completely wiped out
there. Not a single member of the Legis
iature is member of that party. The cold
Bay State" is firm as her own Plymouth
Rock for the right.
In Illinois, the Administration have not
elected single member of Congress. The
elect four and the Douglasites
Eve. The Republican State ticket is elected
by about five thousand majority. Douglas
carries the Legislature, and will have ma
jority on joint ballot of seven.
In Michigan the Republican State ticket
is elected by large majority. The Legis- |
lature is republican, and will choose Re
publican Senator. viee Stewart, (Dem.,
whoset erm expires next fourth of March. t
The Democrats gain one member of Con-
gress-Howard, Republican, being defeated
in the 1st District by Cooper. Dem, by
about SO majority.
In Wisconsin the Legislature is Repub
lican. The Republicans gain largely in
but lost in other districts
Three out of the four members of Congress
are Republicans-which is gain of one for
the Democrats. Billinghurst is the defeat
ed Republican candidate.
In Minnesota the Republicans have ma
jority of seventeen on joint ballot in the Leg
islature, and choose United States Sena-
tor in place of Shields. Democrat, whose |
term expires next fourth of March. The
two Congressman are also Republicans,
which is an entire gain.
The Administration is left entirely with
ont a party in the Northern States. Such
q complete "wiping OUT, has scarcely ever
been recorded. Voz Poputi, Voz Deli
