Sublime Sentiment.

It is strange what the natural heart
will do when left to itself There is a
man, Hon. R. J. RYAN by name, resi-
dent at Ird annapolis, Ind. recently APP
Foi,ted U. S. Minister to Bogota, who af-
fords no small amount of wonder to COM
mon minds.
Mr.. Ryan was honared with a compli-
mentary supper. Mr.. Ryan doubtless
enjoyed the viands and the potations,-
most especially the latter. Mr.. Ryan
made speech,-a telling speech, which
c., s ID with the following sentiment.
The bright and spotless Administration
of James Buch man of Pennsylvania
When thrones are crumbled and dynasties
forgotten, it will stand the landmark of
our country's history, rearing itself amid
legal ruins and nations dissolution, pc
litcal pyramid in the solitude Of Time.
beneath whose shade kings shall molder.
and around whose summit Eternity mus t
play! zi'l
We pause in wonder at that sentiment.
There is rush Of ideas, very avalanche
of rhetorical figures, that is calculated to
hopelessly confuse weak mind and slight
ly stnn strong one. Let Mr.. Rufus
Choate look to bis laurcls. He can be
more tortuous, and intricate, and may
than this, but he cannot be more incom.
prehensible, more sublin ely meaningless
and fcolishly grand.
Most people regard Eternity as q rath-
or grave. solemn, and somewhat indefinite
thing. The thought of it is awe-insplr-
ing, and it is spoken of with reverence,
if not with fear. But Mr.. Ryan person
ifies it, and assures us it will play around
the summit of a"political pyramid" said
pyramid to be constructed entirely from
materials furnished by the "bright and
gspotless Administration ofJames Buchan-
an of Pennsylvania" Now if that pyra-
mid is built, and Eternity does sportively
whisk around its apex, we think it will
be in very foolish business. We trust, at
least Eternity will be as mindful of its
character as the lady in nicholas MCKEE
by" who was playful, but severely prop
er." &c..
e We cannot resist the conclusion that
Mr.. Ryan is a very funny fellow. We
almost fear that the venerable J. B. has
erred in appointing man SO humorous
and playful to the ouerous and responsible
position Of Minister to the powerful Gov
eminent Of Bogota.

A Good One.

The Hartford Press tells story to
illustrate the spirit in which the recent
election in Connecticut was carried
In Mr.. Arnold's town good woman said
to her husband on Monday morning:
Husband, / have PRAYED to God that
Mr.. Arnold may be def ated; and now,
husband, don't you come home till night,
and the Lord help you to do your duty"
Husband, naturally enough, went to bis
days work strengthened. While watch
ing the polls. he saw Democrat about to
vote who had no right to vote in that
village. "If you offer your vote shall
challenge it," said the Republican quietly.
"D-n you," was the answer, "d-n
you, challenge my vote, I'll knock you
down." Every well; l shall challenge
your vote; if you knock me down. | shall
get up again, and I shall Kill you! rem

Gone Up.

From returns received, we have come
to the conclusion that Mr.. Lynde is (not)
elected. We regret this result, yet we
cannot now see how it can be prevented
We might as well Gown up," and let the
mo'asses run. But we wish to put it on
record observation-disclosures for all-that we
will thrash the Shangha;s next fall. Mark
that---we feel MADISON Patriot. ~
We should think you would "feel it"
for the thrashing has been soundly admin
istered. AS for the prediction that you
will return the compliment "next tilne,"
the Republicans are gut to content to run
the risk Sentinel

THE GLoRIeUs RESULT.
10 900 Majority for Paine !!
Cheering news from other States.

The Northern skies are clearing, and
the voice of the free North is beginning
to be heard in clear, emphatic tones.
WISCONSIN has molly indicated her
self. The majority for Byron Paine will
probably exceed 10 Ooo-more than his
most sanguine friends dared to hope for.
In MICHIGAN the majority for Repub-
lican Supreme Judge is about Is 600.
In CoNNEcrIcUT, where the contest
was very severe and the result deemed
doubtful on account of divisions among
the Republicans, the entire delegation to
Congress is Republican, and clean Re
publican State ticket is elected.
Little RHODE ISLAND has done equally
well, having elected all her Democratic
candidates to stay at home.
In INDIANA the township elections show
large Republican gains.
ST. LOUIS has elected the entire Repub-
lican ticket by 900 majority. the heav-
lest given by that city for any party in
many years.
CLEVELAND has elected Republican
Mayor. -e
Truly the signs Of the times are encour-
aging. We say with the State Journal
These triumphs are but the prelude to
that majestic symphony that shall go up
from the armies of freedom-from the
banded sisterhood of free States-in the
coming contest for the supremacy of free
dom or slavery on the American Cont
nent."

CONTESTED SEAT.-The seat of Hon.

contested by WILLIAMSON, the Republi-

only 1872 plurality. The developments
of the Naval Committee Investigation, to-

fraudulent. The evidence will be submit
ted by Mr.. WILLIAMSON at the next ses-
sion of Congress, and the House may

Backbone.

The Free Democrat in alluding to the
gratifying result of the election in this
state saws
Backbone; backbone; BACKBONE said
Sumner is what is especially wanted by
North in this conflict. The backbone is
here. The final triumph is at hand. The
beginning of the end is visible. The tide
of despotism has been fairly stayed. 1t

Republicans ofthis State have fought and
won a glorious battle for the freedom of

A Republican Congress.

AT the close of the last Congress, Mr..
G1DDINes predicted that it was the last
Congress that would ever assemble at the
National Capitol in which the Democracy
would have a majority.
That prediction seems likely to be full
filled. 1t is now nearly certain that the
lower house in the next Congress will be
Republican. When that party has once
obtained the ascendency, it will only be
by its commission of blunders, amounting
to crimes, that the Democrats will regain
