Northern Politics.

The St. Louis Republican Of late date gives
the following as the result of the recent elections
| in the North:
| The Democrats have carried New jersey. each
| branch of the Legislature being Democratic, and
| giving Democratic majority on the popular vote.
Last fall 1t gave majority of its electoral vote to
| President Lincoln.
| In Wisconsin part of the Democratic State
| ticket, and perhaps all of it, elected. The Demo
! Gratis may have the House of Assembly. Lincons
majority last fall, 2l,0oO. Democratic gain % ,Oso
| or q 600.
In Illinois, two-thirds OF the Constitutional Con-
| yention Democratic. Last fall the Republicans
carried both branches of the Legislature, and gave
President Lincoln $4,000 majority.
| In New York and Ohio the Republicans are
utterly demoralized and broken up in organiza-
ton. In the first named State the Democrats
have largely increased their strength in the Legts
lature.
In Massachusetts the Republican vote has fallen
OFF about 10000 since last year, while the Demo-
cratic vote is nearly as great as it was then.
These results indicate that one of the most re-
markable and decided political revolutions ever
witnessed in the country is in progress.
The Democrat of the 18th, the original Abolition
organ of the same city, in endeayoring to explain
these apparent defeats of the old Black Republican
party, says:
Now what are the facts. In New Jersey, Hi
nois, New York and Ohio, the Republicans gave
up their distinctive party organization and nonin-
ated Union tickets in the first two States the
Democrats have gulled the Republicans into the
nomination of Democrats in strong Republican
counties, refused to reciprocate by nominating
Republicans in Democratic counties. When the
votes were counted it was found that the Republic
ans had faithfully supported the Union Democratic
nomineesrbut the Democratic partisans scratched
the Republican names, and hence the Democrats
succeeded in electng majority of their eandi-
dates. In Wisconsin the Republicans have elected
the entire State ticket; but lost the Assembly
the Senate, however, is still Republican. The de-
creased popular vote worked to the disadvantage
of the Republicans.
In New York the Democratic presses named
studiousy conceal the fact that the first proposition
for Union nominations, irrespective Of party, ema-
mated from the Republicans, and ignore entirely
the other important fact, that the Republican con-
Vention unanimously endorsed the Union Demo
cratic tiaket, headed by the patriotic Democrat,
Hon. Daniel 5. Dickinson They gave their solid
Republican vote for that ticket. In Ohio it Is no.
torious that the Republicans might have elected
the State ticket easily, had they tried, but waving
party claims, and in striking contrast with the
Democratic politicians, (who refused to Join in
Union nominations, and nominated full party
ticke9 supported with all their strength that life
long Democrat, David Todd for Governor.
We are not disposed to strike for party names
in crisis like the present. 1t is no time to waste
words, upon party successes or party defeats, but
the attempt to palm off the results of the late cleo
tons as an evidence of the increasing popularity
of bogus Democracy, merits the contempt OF an
honest people. -
