THE WESTERN ELEcTIoNs.-The Western elections
are surprisingly antRepublican, and show
markable change in the vote since last fall Cincin-
natl then gave its vote for Lincoln Now the average
Democratic majority is 1000. Cleveland Sandusky,
Columbus and Toledo, now Democratic, gave their
votes for Lincoln, if we mistake not. Remarkng
upon the result in Cincinnati, the Gazette (Rep.)
says:
"At the election held in this city yesterday, the
Republicans, to somew hat vulgar but express
sive tert6y were cleaned out. The returns do not
present single redeemng feature, every candidate
on the fusion ticket having been elected by sweep
ing majority. The average fusion majority is now,
judging from the returns at hand, up to present
writing, over 4, 000."
Possibly the following reasons assigned by the
Gazette for this defeat may have had their influence
upon other election. 1t says:
Anticipating the questions that will be asked as
to the cause of this Waterloo defeat we may say
that Sumter did it. The Republicans, dissatisfied
and discouraged had no heart to work, and they
surrendered without seriously contestng the field
And if temporizing policy is to be continued at
Washington, this is but the beginning of the end"
Besides the election in ST. Louis, Kansas city and
Jefferson city, those in Michigan have chiefly re-
suited favorably to the Democrats. Grand Rapids
elected the entire Democratic ticket with gain of
$50 votes since last fall. Democratic mayors were
elected on the first inst, in Saginaw city, Lansing,
Flint Coldwater, Owosso, Pontiac and Ypsilanti
and the Democratic township tickets were success
full in Cornuna, Fentonville, Manchester, Ham
tramca, Brownstown, Springwells, Canton, and
Dearborn. Six township elections are reported as
carried by the Republicans.

The SYSTEM OF THE OLIGARCHY.-Among the
means taken by the Oligarchy to perpetuate their
power in the South, is a resort to the system of
rise-ing all letters written north by enlisted men in
their army lest their statements to their friends may
reveal the true state of things around them. This
is in strict keeping with the system of the notorious
brigand, Walker, in Nicaragua, it will be remember
ed, who permitted no written accounts of his treat
ment of his own army to go forth, unless previously
examined by himself or some of his officers
designated for the purpose.
We saw this morning letter to respectable
person in this city, from man mot long since en-
listed north) now serving in one of the SouthCaro-
lima temporary Notifications, bearing every evidence
of having been Uised; and closing with a hurriedy
written postscript begging his friends not to write
to him. as their views might get him into trouble.
No more complete proof that he serves naked
despotism and lives under a reign of terror could
be adduced than this same letter; which we refrain
from publishing only because not disposed tosubject
the unfortunate writer to the vengeance of those in
whose power he is Washington Star.

supported Mr.. Breckenridge, with thousands of 9TH

The Reign of Terror.

The Richmond Examiner thus warns the Union
men of Virginia Of the fate reserved for them in
case the disunionists shall prevail in that State:
1.-The conceiteG, eccentric, stubborn few who op-
pose secession, are warning against Providence,
finding fault with the ways of God. They may oc
casion and bloodshed by their Irritating oppos
ton; they may prevent peaceful solution of our
difficulties but cannot proven: secession. If war
does come the SubmiSSOniStS will be alone to blame
for it. Were they to unite their efforts with the
secessonists, and show to the imbecile government
at Washington that VirginianS united and
unanimous, that government would let us depart in
peace. If they continue their hopeless, factiOus OPP
position they will prompt and encourage Lincoln to
profit by our divisions, and attempt coercon-which
is but incpient war Or, If we escape war from
without they may engcnder worse than war in our
midst. Nirginians are conservative, order-loving
law abiding people; they patient and forbear-
ing as they are brave-and yet they are but men,
Opposed, thwarted, fretted by the submissionists,
will they not at last become intolerant proScrp-
tive and cruel as their English ancestry in the days
of Cromwell? The Barricades, the 81 III tInterne, "
