THE LATE ELECTIONS.
The results in the recently held cleo
tons are Of the most cheering and
strengthening character. The tide o.
Black Republicanism, which, but few
months ago, rolled on with sach ire
sistible force, sweeping all before il, hal
now met with most powerful rebufr, al
the hands OF the opposition. Seeing
the certain ruin which came hand il
hand with Republican victory, the true
patriots Of the land are forming into
solid batalions and locking their shields
for vigorous attack. At different point.
the euemy has been met and has falleI
into our hands. Even in his strong
holds he has been charged upon by til.
noble Democracy and compelled to ca
pitulate. Ia the good city OF st. Louis
where the darkest and most inveterate
stamp Of Black Kepnbicanism hereto.
fore prevailed to an alarming extent, the
stain has been wiped out and the stencil
blown from the face OF the land by a
patriotic tornado. Cincinnati has alec
spoken out 10 firm Democratic voice
against the further spread Of kepubli-
canism in the Queen city. Her victory
is noble one. Cleveland, situated in
the Western Reserve, the school OF
Black Republicans aud the nursery OF
rank Abolitionism, has wrcnched eff the
political rhackes which bound her down,
and the Democracy have arisen in their
might. Ia Milwaukee. in GAINESVILLE,
Iowa City, and other important places,
through the North est, the ttrenchant
blade Of the Democratic party has fallen
upon the heads Of the ncgro-worshippers,
and they have been routed, horse, foot
and dragoon, with immense slaughter.
1t is glorious to contemplate. 1t prog
nosticates the end of Black Republic
canism.
From the New England States there
come tidings of great JOY to the people.
Abolitionized New England is shaking
of the bands which have cnthrallcd her,
and her noble patriots are planting the
standard Of Democracy even where the
Union destroyers have held their court.
Connecticut has spoken. Though the
Republicans claim to have been victor-
GUS there, the Democracy have elected
two out OF the four Representatives
there--a clear gain of two Congress
men to the Democracy. II we have to
be defeated at ali, we like to DC defeated
in that way. 1t suits us.
Little Rhode Island has done the
handsome thing. Though small
though mere dot upon the national
,nap-she has repudiated the Republi-
can party and elected Democratic State
officers, a Democratic Legislature and
Democratic Representatives to Congress.
In the two States-Connecticut and
Rhode Island-the POLITICAL graves of
four Representatives have been dug and
filed. This makes a difference of eight
votes in Congress, in favor Of the Dem
ocratic party.
The gins Of the times are favorable
to the Democratic party. The Repub-
Iican tower Of strength is crumblng
away; confusion, worse than the con-
fusion of the tongues, is distracting it's
builders. Let the good work 60 for
ward. Let the revo luton increase in
strength and fury until the last vestige Of
opposition to the true and never dying
principles Of Democracy be swept away
from the face Of our beloved country q.
with the bosom Of destruction.
