esg-Tho returns from Indiana and Pen

9Gg-The returns from Indiana and Penn,
syl7ania look blue for the Democracy. Those
States seem 10 have decided to be put doion
on level with Ohio for the present. and it
depends on the soi-disant leaders of our
party, whether they will remain there. IL
strikes us that il the democracy throughout
the Union cannot now see the folly Of bick-
ering and quarrelling among themselves,
they are permanently blind. That the po,
liticsl news just received is, in great de,
gree the result of the foolish emeute in the
Democratic party, cannot well be denied it
was reasonably to be expected, but its exs
tent, however, has completely surprised us
There are other causes to be assigned for our
defeat
There never was a time in the history Of
this country, when money was used 80 bold
" TO carry State and local elections as In
the campaign just closed. The evidence Of
this is everywhere to be met with; and the
perniciOus influence win probably be felt in
all time to come. These matters are more
to be deplored than the defeat Of the Demo,
cratic ticket this fall, for the honest masses
win, after the time for reflection comes, rec,
tify the errors they have committed in ele.
waiting to power the rabble placemen who
are now exultant The example and effects
Of corruption are more serious, and are apt
to tell on generations to come,
The elections Of this country will have to
be put back upon first principles if we
would succeed in our experiment of self,
government Principle must be the basis Of
political faith, and fairness must regulate
our political action, if we would preserve
untsrnished our national honor and pros
peritY. Mere political success will not JUS
tify every means which the ingenuity of
men, or the corruption Of knaves apply to
the purpose, These are matters for grave
thought and we hope that cain moments
may be devoted to their study. We are on
the verge Of political precipice, and it will
take all the intellect, patriotism and christi
anity Of the country to avert the catastrophe
Of plunge down the threatening abyss
We are moving in the wrong direction the
carelessness Of some, the thoughtlessness Of
others, and the selfshness and recklessness
of the placemen, are fast bearing us to ru-
in. The Democratic element is all that can
save the country. Will Democrats make
themselves responsible for the depravity Of
the present day by continuing their insane

Showing the white Flag-Pettiooats at
Random.

The Commercial had correspondent at
every County Fair in the State, we believe
and every ono Of these observing" gentle-
men seemed emulous Of outdoing each other
in the putting up Of raey points We rather
think the following effort will take the rag
of the bush. A petticoat ought to be
awarded him; and we hope tho State Com
mittee oa prizes will at onoe hunt him up
He says -
The ladies were well mounted on bay,
sorrei and a grey. They ride gracefully
and their skill is admired. The sorrel frets
and his mistress humors him; the grey pulls
up and the riders get excited They are
mutually desirous Of applause, and both
confident in the speed Of their horses Dam-
sci on the sorrel gives him the bit and
dashes ahead at killing pace. She on the
grey lets her nag 90. Yipl Now they 90 IT.
The crowd opens on EN- musioally. Judges
in the center seized with spasms are as
eager as the widest, and the ladies' sweep
around the ring with furious energy. Now
the sorrels ahead; now the grey now sorrel
draws up, and now she on the grey feeds
his Aanks with whip lash. Y hipl yip and
blanket would cover the pair Of 'em.--
Damsel on the sorrel lifts him beautifully,
and he shoots forward again; grey makes a
tremendous lunge, closes the gap, draws 10
the saddle girth of the sorreI, and his mis-
tress' hat flies Off Ribbons and hair in
splendid tangle, but she claps on the hat
with captivating fury and away they go.-
Drapery on the damsel of the sorrel now re-
bellioug shows the white fag--exposes the
lady's shoe tops--aaps up awfully, and the
hat and hair Of she on the grey again in the
wind, and both horses going like the d.
gentleman in black. The Marshal discovers
symptoms Of catastrophe, and plunges
forward to avert il Grey obeys the rein
and falls into gentle canttr Sorrel 10
master Of his mistress and her drapery is
huttering and rising A cooler head than
hers under such embarrassment would find
it difficult to decide upon the propriety of
dropping from the saddle or permitting the
garments to rebel as they please. She pre-.
fers to stick, end--is it indelicate to praise
the immaculate snowiness Of lady's linen
and hose, and how many witnesses ehall be
cited to testify2 She regains control of her
steed; q desperate .jsrk and the flowing robe
falls gracefully into propriety.
Dear ladies, when you ride into the ring at
Fair under the eyes of thousands of spec
tators, accept the advice Of sincere friend
and do not ride like Tam 0Shanter. You
don't know how much agony 1t will spare
excitable gentlemen. They'll all acknowl,
edge the whiteness Of your stoekings-ever
so far from the toes--without even request
ing you to display them on horseback. In
public is no place to exhibit them-indeed
IL ian't.

D0-A minister of the gospel" who went
to the polls to vote on Tuesday, remarked
to the bystanders that he saw drunken
democrat1ying in an alley as he came along.
The drunken man, it turned out, was re

him and the minister was, that one was lying
in the alley while the other was lying at
the polls; the alley republican was uncon.
sciOus from the use of republican whisky
while the ministerial republican was con.
