Democratic Victory.

We learn with much pleasure that
the gallant Democracy of Lyons, our
sister city, up the river, have made a
clean sweep in their Charter Election on
the I'd inst. The Republicans were en-
tircly routed OH all sides, and have not a
name any more in conducting the af-
fairs OF that city.
The people arc getting awakened at
home and abroad. Black Republicans
are becoming less thought of and less re-
spected every day.
We congratulate the Lyons Democra-
cy on their COOK luck, and trust they
will always hold it.

STATE DEBT.-When the Auditor
made his report for the year just passed
the State debt was something like three
hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
The Legislative session just closed has
helped the matter greatly. The amount
appropriated during the session amounts
to over $45o,OOO, to which add the
$4,000 Of previous debt and we find
that the State debt looms up beautifully.
But the Opposition party is a re-
trenchiug party. 1t only wanted to ap
propriate $4,000 before the election,
but after they got securely into the Off
cial seats the peoples money, or the
money that the people have got to bor-
row, flew like chaff.
Inc State debt stands now at some
thing like $500, 900.

The Black Republicans arc evidently
much frightened at the late returns from
Rhode Island and Connecticut, as well
as from the election 10 Cincinnati, Mil
YANKEE, and other important places,
where they looked confidently for large
majorities.
The late guns in the East have aroused
them to a sense OF their true condition,
and very materially medifcs their gen
eral tune.
The Chicago Press and Tribune
roads a lesson on the result Of the late
elections down East, and hangs out flags
of distress, and with a loud voice warns
the party to take IN several reefs in their
sails. if they would not be hopelessly and
totally dashed in pieces upon Democrat
ic boulders.
That paper of the 9th inst. declaresin
plain language that "the result Of the
election in Rhode Island should admOu
ISL the National Convention to be pru-
dent and cautious at the Chicago meet
ing" at should teach thcm," says the
Tribune, ''that the nomination of a radi-
cal Republican for President, (such a
man IS Seward, Chase, Lincoln, and all
Of that class-Eas Dem.) may result in
the loss Of even New England States"
to say nothing Of losing every other
State in the Union. The Tribune
further says with Much truth and can
dor: "lf it does-Gf the convention
nominates radical Republican, this lit
tie check in Rhode Island, and the close
shave in Connecticut may be the means
Of averting disaster in the national con-
test" If the IriJuae's hopes OF success
rest solely on such feeble basis, it is
surely in very bad way, and might as
we'll give mp the ghost before the ball is
opened, for in all human probability
none but Radical Republican" will
ever touch bottom at the Chicago Con-
vention.
The same paper goes on and says
1--WE have said OH previous occasions,
and we again repeat it, if our party
would make victory morally certain to
perch on their banners, the sentiments
and prejudlces Of the conservative Re-
publicans must be respected, as we'll as
the wishes and ideas Of the more radical
element" or in other words, the nom
inee Of the Chicago Convention must be
q sort Of "betwixt and between" person,
q bona tide white black-brd. He must
possess all the ferocity Of the lion, and
yet be lamb; he must be half white
and half black, conservative and rad
ical. A pretty fellow truly, that NOM
inee will be.
We believe the Tribune is right.
The radical portion of the opposition
party will be the ruin Of it. The con-
servatives cannot swallow them-much
less their doctrines. We cannot see
any other course for the opposition to
pursue but to leave the field, and let the
election 60 by default.
The hot shot Of the Democracy is fast
falling among them, and they are al
ready trembling with fear as to the re-
suit.
Not SO with the Democracy. Like
the legions of old Rome they toll on
ever cheerful and vigilaut under the
most adverse always la
boring with ceaseless, untiring energy to
overthrow the enemy. They have al
ways been successful they never accept
defeat ; and so long as they have enc.
mics of the Union and the Constitution
to fight, they never will.

BURIED ALIvE.-Within few months
past, says the Albany KnickerJocker,
necessity has demanded that the Ger
man Lutheran burial ground, on the
Bowery, should be stripped of its sacred
rights as sepulchre for the dead, and
improved with dwellings for the living.
Last week, while engaged in removing
collins, the men came across one con-
tanning the body Of man named Wertz,
who died and was buried eighteen
months since. For some cause or 9TH
er, persons present, whether friends of
the deceased or not, we cannot say,
we're prompted to open the coffin.
When they did SO, imagine their sur
prise on beholding the body face down.
ward, and the fingers Of the man Crap
pied in his hair From this it is evil
dent that Mr.. Wertz had been buried
alive, and, in his agony of distress OH
becoming conscious Of his entombmeut,
had worked himself into the position
above described. This is a horrible
state Of things to be realised by the
friends Of the deceased.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Great Drawback to persons emigrat-
ing to the extreme South and Western country,
is the fear they have of the Fever and Ague-she
most direful of all diseases. Every day We hear
of persons attacked by this disease and made
helpless in short time, without any means Of af-
fordng relief. In view of the great demand for
remedy, DIR. EosTxTTER has presented his cele-
brated "Bitters." whose curative powers for all
diseases of the stomach have been universally
acknowledged. The "Bitters," prepared after .
long experience and deep study, have received the
encomiums Of the NEST eminent phi ysicians, well
as all classes from every part Of the country. To
those who doubt their many virtues, all We can
say is to try them, and judge for themselves, re-
spectively.
