Daily national Democrat., 1860-11-15
All is not Lost.

The news by the last Pony, though dis
heartening to all conservative and national
men. is not without its consolatory features,
and these are that the Republicans have lost
a sutfcieucy of their candidates for Congress
to prevent their having anything approach
ing to a controlling power in the House Of
Representatives. Six Union Congressman OF
New York city have been elected and two
Republican candidates for Congress have
been defeated in Massachusetts,. This, in ad
dition to their late loss in Ohio. Pennsylvania
and Indiana, on the Congressional ticket,
places them hopelessly in the minority, as
against the Union and Conservative party in
the lower house Of Congress. The Senate is
already an anti-Republican body, notwith-
standing its few Republican aceessions, and
Lincoln will find himself without the ability
to carry any thoroughly Republican measure
of bis Administration.
This is a very fortunate result, so far Ns it
goes, for it efiectually prevents any present
steps, that will amount to anything, for Il
dissolution of the Union. A Republican Ad-
ministration, which is tied hand and foot. 10y
the two houses Of Congress and by the Su
preme Court of the United States, is not
very formidable enemy to the Constitutional
Rights of the South.
While the Democratic party has been de-
feated in the main result, the returns will
show that the vote for Dousias and johnson
has so far outnumbere3 that for Breckenridge
and Lane as to throw them beyond all ques-
ton into the condition of mere factonists,
and to give the national organization to those
who supported Douglas and johnson. Mr..
Breckenridge has lost his own State, Ken
tucky, as might have been safely predicted.
lie has also lost Virginia, Tennessee, and
probably several other Southern States So
/ far as heard from, Alabama has gone for
Douglas Missouri has undoubtedly gone for
him. His majority over Breckinridge in this
and in various other States is large He has
poed in the entire South a very heavy vote,
and the result shows that he had a strong
party in that section Add his vote South TO
his vote North, and it will be seen that he
has the Democracy of the Union with him,
and that those who opposed him have found
their level with the delunct factions of the
past that bolted the regular organization of
the party.
In this State, so far as the Breckenridge
faction is concerned, the Democratic party
have been eminently successful in laying them
low with the dust. The regular organization
of the Democracy is in the hands of those
who voted for Douglas and johnson, and
they will probably send Democratic, anti
Breckenridge, and anti Disunon Senator to
Washington, to stand by Stephen A. Doug
las, the great luminary of the Senate, in op.
position to a Black Republican Administers
ton.
We have nothing further to say, respecting
the news than this, that Mr.. Lincoln ought to
give Mr.. Buchanan place in his Cabinet or
some very lucrative position abroad, for his
invaluable services in dividing the Demo-
cratic party and thus securing lis (Lincoln's) )
election. An appointment of the cold public
functonary"ito some paying situation, under
the Lincoln Administration, would be con-
sidered eminently proper by the whole coun-
try
