The Chicago Election.

The Chicago Election.
The result Of the charter election il
Chicsgo has been made known, and the
great agony is now over. Long John
Wentworth, that embodiment of Black
Republlcanlsnn, mcanuess and political
rot.enness-tliat Infamous wretch, than
whom there 10 not greater III the
country is again, through rrodlgal ex-
pendturc of his large means and the
base operations Of those who dared not
opposc him, i, again elected Mayor OF
Chicago again put into that position
where. We verify believe no honest
hearted man can truly say be wishes to
see him.
Yet over this election already there
has arisen, and Will continue, a howl
OF triumph in the Back Republican
press throughout the length and breadth
Of the Black Republican domain ami
it will be claimed without a blush To
be the beginning. the precursor Of
another important victory TO be achieved
in the Fail Of the present year.
Believe it not. Though the Rcpubl.
cans Ct Chicago have succeeded 10
clcc,ins Their candidate; though the vic,
tory thus achieved will be set down as
the "frst gun Of tho campaign, aud
"thc beginning Of the end" and all that,
there is, to or mind, nothing more sure
than the Chicago election, with all its
rotten concomitants, will be more effect
ual in gripping the Opposition party
than if the result had been exactly the
contrary. 1t is an old but true saying,
that whom the Gods desire to destroy
they first make mad, and in this instance
is the saying truly applicable. When
the Opposition party descend into the
cess pools Of rottenness and unhingc the
trap doors Of deep-dyed intamy to fish
up their candidates for high positions,
there may it be written that their dis.
solution is neaI--very near at hand
the hand writing has already appeared
upon the wall.
1t is cl,imcd that the recent Chicago
election will dampen the chances of MIR.
Douglas. Now we are nOdcfender Of that
gentleman in fact it has been laid to
our charge that we are his opponent, yet
we can frankly state that if Mr.. Doug
las chances for the nomination and
election were based on the Chicago
election, we should consider that his
chances are now better and brighter
than ever before.
Let the Democratic party OF the great
North w est instead of being in any way
disheartened at the result of the Chicago
election take fresh courage, and consider
it an important omen for good in the
place of the harbinger Of defeat. Let
the Democracy Of the Union regard it
as arguing their triumphant success.
Chicago has got her Black Republican
Mayor. Long John Wentw orth is again
victorious, yet his victory is but tie
death knell of that party which has no
more principle, no more morality than te
put just wandering pimps of pollution al
the newly elected Mayor of Chicago in
Office. Let the cry Of victory-a great
Republican victory go forth through the
land; it will soon be hushed by the up
raising Of the all-prevailing arm Of thu
united Democracy. Let this result serve
to cement the Democracy together il
indissouble bonds; let it give us fresh
courage and increased energy in the
great contest now just at hand.
