Daily national Democrat., 1860-10-30
What they amount 10.

The victories Of the Republicans in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, do not amount
to somuch as many over-enthusiastic people
suppose. The Democrats have gained six
Congressman, and the prospect is that, even
if Lincoln should be elected, he will find him.
self without either the Senate or the House
to support his Administration.
Furthermore, as we have before insisted,
it does not follow that State will throw her
vote in Presidential election against party
because that party was beaten in State con
test Immediately preceding. We have al
ready cited the case of Ohio, she having in
1s4s cast her vote IN the State election
against the Democratic party, and yet having
directly after, in the Presidential election,
sustained the Democratic nominee, Lewis
Cass, both against the Wing candidate and
the boiling nominee, Martin Van Buren.
In that same State, if we do not greatly err
in our recollection, in 1874 Wilson Shannon
was elected Governor on the Democratic
ticket, and yet, Immediately after, the State
went for the Wing candidate for the Presi-
dency, by large majority.
A similar thing happened, if we mistake
not, in Pennsylvania, in 1910. The State
went Democratic in her State election, and
directly afterward cast her vote for General
Harrison for President.
In view of such facts as these, we are just
bold enough TO claim Ohio and Indiana, and
it may be Pennsylvania also, for Douglas on
Tuesday next Strictly local matters regu-
late State elections, but they have but little
effect upon an election for the Presidency
and this fact is going to make a difference il
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana which vii
make the Republicans open their eyes.
On! How SEcrIoNAL-On Saturday nigh
last, the Republicans had banner with I
painting on it representing Judge Douglas a
standing on Mason and Dixon's Line, a L
Blondin, with balance pole, on each end Q
which was a weight marked 40 lbs, balanc
ing himself between the North and the South
(What induced them to place 40 lbs o
each end of the balance pole we know no
unless it was, as the gentleman said of Doug
lass Sords, when spoken from the stumI
that leach one ofthem weighed ten pounds.
Now, does any reasonable man require an
further evidence to prove that the Republ
{ can party is q Northern Sectional party
: We ethink we have, "out of their own mouths
proven that Mr.. Douglas is National maj
4 and, if elected, he would be the President
+ the ,ohole Union and not of a section of it.
Is DOUGLAS National MAN?-We w
e prove it by their own words. On Saturdo
e evening last, the Republicans had bann
with the following inscription upon it,:
douglas don't care whether Slavery or Ere
, dom goes into the Territories" Now, "
affirm most emphatically, that any man wi
! takes a position either to the right or the lie
of the stand taken by Douglas, 1--WE admit h
, position to be just as the Republican bann,
q stated it,) that man is Sectionalist, an
would be an improper person to trust wit
the reins of our National Government. AM
have we not had enough of sectiondlism du

u Are the people disposed to turn about al

J. doubt it
