TllE. RESULT YESTERDAY.

UAAA1i 1eo-coASA AA''s AAsS A11A H
The majoritios for the Democratic city
and town tickets at the election yesterday
varied from tifty-th to ore hundred and
forty. SIX. This most astonishing result by
which every candidate on the Democratic
tickets, in both town and city, were elected
is to be attributed to many causes.
lst.-Whethcr true or false-and we be.
lievc It false-it was yet believed that the
Methodist church was endeavoring to make
itseG = political power by running Mctho-
dist ticket, as such, and prostituting the high
and holy Offices Of christianity to political
objects. This church las deserved the ad-
miration and regard Of the Christian world;
and. tho very intimation Of such q purpose
struck i, down at blow. The daughters Of
light and the powers Of darkness do not
walk in more different paths than politics
and religion. A politico.relisious connec-
tion debauches both politics aud religion, and
We hope this startling rebuke will prove Of
future use and value, and indicate the true
shperc Of the Christian church.
2d.-1'hc dissatisfaction at an unimport-
ant federal appointment was one element Of
discomfort that cannot be overlooked.
This has been the result with every change
Of administration. The ins and the outs al
ways engage in an ''irreprsssible conflict -
and: the outs helped to do it" this time
We have received Z communication on this
subject which gilds the ''fine gold" Of this
matter, but take il altogether, we hope it
will extract from tho tongue Of our Post
,naster to, the asp that lies under it. There
arc teachings Of great value to all, admins
tered rather roughly at times, but still re-
forlnatory like the Christening rod.
Mr.. Sorin needs this Office, and will in its
management, we believe, give satisfaction.
God knows he never was Democrat, and
Republicans certainly ought not to object
to him, and largely supported him. Having
:hus done justice to all sides OF this subject,
we drop it.
3d.-The coercive Temperance men, anti
lager, purely prohibitory men were caucus
orce but stood no show at the voting. Co.
crcive temperance; cocrcivo morals are cx-
ploded distractions. Here was a big reason
for the "big thing" we had yesterday.
4th.-We must not forget the gallant
boys that run with the masheen." Torrent
No. l, covered itself oil over with glory
We knew when we saw on Saturday even :
ing the "angel'' fireman with his big horn,
On the end of = long pole on the engine

enough though,two to one. A great reaction
Glorious result. Send the news to Abraham
