The Late Elections.


We confess that their chucking does not
sound in our ears like the strains of music upon
the water, nor their Internal any;l-thunderng
quite as agreeable as the love-tones Of mai
den, now a matron, whispering in our ear, be-
meath yine-clad bower and a silver moon on a
certain mid summers evening. However, we
can't blame them.
Nevertheless it Is apparent, from the discrep-
ancy existing between the different dispatches,
that the news preparers or the telegraph opera
tors, at either the eastern or western terminus
Of the telegraphs, were considerably drunk
about the time the news was sent or decidedly
in the interest of the Blacks. Here are our rea-
sons for this suppostion
The Sacramento Union, aha the Herala, Alta,
Mirror Times and Gazette, of San Francisco, all
received the same dispatch of eastern News
And yet in the Herald, Gazette and Mirror the
Pennsylvania news reads:
"A dispatch to the World says there is prob
ably not less that $500 majority for Curtin"
While in the Times, Union and Alta the same
dispatch reads thus:
a dispatch to the World says, there is prob
ably not less than 5000 majority for Curtin"
Now, as here is difference of just % 500,
which are we to believe?
But, worse and worse, after this comes ano-
ther Pony, with advices confirmato-y ofthe pre-
vious news. And not only conirmatory of the
previous news, but with said previous news ex-
aggerated ten fold For instance, by the last
Pony we are informed that the Republican can
didate for Supreme Judge, (upon which the fight
was made) in Ohio, is elected by between fifteen
and eighteen thousand majority, and yet that
the Republicans have carried that State by
about serenity thousand majority. At the same
time we ere assured that the Congressional del
egation stands Is Republicans to Democrats
Now eight Democratic Congressman from Ohio
is just two more than we have in the present
CongressI So we have made gain of two
Congress1nen in State where the leading Re-
publican State candidate was elected by less
than twenty thousand majority, and where the
Republicans have 10, 600 majority? How can
this be true?
The truth is that the opposition to Republi-
cansm did not unite upon the Democratic
tickets in these three States, and that hence the
Republican tickets succeeded, while at the
same time the Democrats have gained several
Congressmen-thus making it certain that
majority of the next Congress will be opposed to
the Republican, party. The recent elections
prove that if the opposition to Republicanism
unite upon one ticket in each Of the three States
named, they will succeed handsomely. That
they will do so we have not doubt Lincoln
can't be elected President.
BLACK REPUBLICAN Love OF ADOPTED CIr1-
zEXs.-The infamous proscriptive proposition
recently adopted by the Black Republicans of
Massachusetts, and Incorporated into their Con-
sttution, is as follows;
"No PERSON OF FOREIGN BIRTH SHALL
BE ALLOWED TO VOTE, NOR SHALL BE
ELIGIBLE TO OFFICE, UNLESS HE SHAHL
HAVE RESIDED WITHIN THE JURISDtC-
TlON OF THE STATE FOR TWO YEARS
SUBSEQUENT TO HIS NATURALfzATlON,
and shall be otherwise qualified according to
the Constitution and laws OF the Coiar1on-
wealth"
Such is the Republican doctrine in regard to
adopted citizens. A runaway slave can vote
just as soon as a native white man, but an Irish
man, a German, or other foreign born citizen is
nsulted and degraded below the slave The
late Black Republican Convention that re-nom-
mated Buriingame for Congress, was well
checke:ed up with negroes, and the delegate
that put him in nomination is as black as the
ace Of spades. Should Lincoln be elected Pres

publican family. Whew what partyl
