The Elections.
Ohio has gone Republican by 1000 majority
on Governor, and two thirds Of the Legislature
are Of the same stripe. When it is rccollccted
what reasonable remarks tie Governor elect
Hon. VIM. Dennison, made during the canvass
there will be no difficulty in estimating the
character Of Ohio Republicanism. Mr.. Den
nison proposed to call out the bayonets Of the
State to resist the laws Of the United States.-
outstanding this remark and others Of a
similar character it Is admitted that the en-.
ployocs Of the National Administration acted
with the Republicans 30 rs to strike fatal
blow. as they believe, ut the nomination Of
Mr.. Douglas at Charleston. With victory
involving defiance to the laws of the union
our friends in Iowa Of any party will not be
very proud. .....'.....
In Pennsylvania, the "Opposition" mot the
Republican, party have carried everything
The Opposition is made up of Fomey Demo.
Gratis, Republicans and every imaginable ism
that could be arraycd against the unpopular
Administration Of Mr.. Buchanan. The cleo
ton in the Keystone State is a very loud hint
to the present Cabinet, Head and oil, that Mr..
Douglas has more friends there than any other
Statesman, that's all.
In Minnesota the Republicans have succeed.
ed by filling the State with hired orators from
all parts of the East and by instructing those
orators to convince the people that it will be
honorable to repudiate their Railroad Bonds
This 10 a noble victory, and all men orpolitici.
ans of anti-dsbtpaying proclivities will rejoice
at it:
OF Iowa, reports prevail at Chicago and
other small towns east of US that Mr.. Krkwood
has beaten Ger. Dodge to 5000. These re.
ports are premature, as not one half the state
has been heard from. With the exception OF
4 few Of the counties yet reported there is a
uniform gain to the Democrats both in the
Governor and Legislative vote and strangely
~ it may shock the sensibilities of our Repub.
lican readers We avow it as our opinion that
the Legislature is certainly ours and that Gen
Dodge, BY the light of the present moon, is the
Governor elect of Iowa! If the South and
West Of the State have voted in the same
general way as the few counties we have heard
from here-a-way Gen. Dodge will ego in
sure, but having heard SO little we of course
are not willing to bet more than ten thousand
dollars on his success. Our home elections
county and district. are spoken of in another
place.
