DEMOCRATIC REyOIC,St;s.

Some Of our Democratic contemporaries
are disposed to rejoice over some of the
late elections. 1t is said that drowning
men catch at straws, and we Judge that
che Democray are in a drowning condi.
tion. In St. Louis there was a union of
Ill the factions opposed to the Republ-
cans, and the monsrel ticket was elected,
but the majority asaius: the Republicans
was less then that of the combined vote
last year. The Republicans have never
succeeded in St. Louis, except BY the
division of their opponents. The same
.tate Of facts exists in Cincinnati
In Connecticut, the Republicans elect
ed their State ticket last year by 54l
majority, this year they have elected it
by about 1900 majority. 1t is true that
We have lost two Congressman in Con.
necticut, 10 districts that have generally
been Democratic, but where We acct.
oentally succeeded two years ago. The
general result is a gain in the Republi
can majority.
In Rhode Island the straight out Re-
PubIicans have been defeated, but not By
the Democrats. The successful cand;-
date for Governor voted for Mr.. Lincoln,
as did four out Of six candidates On the
successful ticket, and the conventions
that nominated the successful candidates
for Congress passed resolutions endorsing
Mr. Lincoln's Inaugural, and one Of the
Congressman elect is known to BE- Re-
publican. If the Democrats can draw
any comfort from these results they are
welcome to them. 1t seems to US, that
they could as easily extract blood from a
turnip.
The elections in the towns and cities
during the last ten days, since it has
been understood that Mr.. Lincoln is to
pursue q firm course have generally
shown an increased Republican majority.

WARS AND RUMORs OFWARs.

have been Of wars and rumors of wars"
but after having read all the reports, we
have come to the con clusiou that we know
and knew just as much of what is to be

sending such flaming reports throughout.

tivity in the war end navy Departments,
:ha: something is IN the wind, but where
the blow will fall, if It falls at all, is I'm.
certain. Some say .ort Sumter is to be
reinforced, others that Houston is to be
sustained in Texas Nobody knows what
the object Of the movement is, except
the President and his advisers, and they
are wise enough to keep their own couu-
sci. We shall soon know what others
are now guessing at Believing in tn.

The farmers Of Iowa aud Illinois. who
are the worst sufferers by the miserable
banking system Of Illinois and Wisconsin
have the remedy for the ev! in their ow 4
hands. Let hem utterly retusc to taEc
anything for their produce except Ioua
money or good Eastern .funds. This
plan has been adopted by the farmers
about Pittsburg, and it must have the
desired effect. Produce buyers ccn get
good money if they make the effort, and
they acW do so if the farmers wi accept
nothing else. We hope to see the farm,
ers Of Iowa take stand unitedly against
all irresponsible and i'redeemablo cur.
rency, and then we may expect soon to
get rid Of it.-.iuscatine JourUaL
We heartily endorse the above senti-
ment, and hope that our farmers will 4,
once act upon the suggestions. We
have little of the deprecated currency
and no other-but would lose it all
without word of complaint, if we could
hereafter get money that would keep good
over night.

Startling News from Texas.

The advices from Texas, if true, are
very important and significant The
Mexican General Ampudia is about to
enter the State with an army Of 5000
men, which is being daily reinforced, to
seize upon what Mexico still considers
her property. She is going to strike
while the Secession iron is hot. just as
the United States troops are Withdrawn,
and before Texas is prepared to defend
herself. or the Contcdoratcs to render
her assistance. Between the Mexicans
and Indians, she is likely to have hcr
hands fall, and t. realize some Of the
blessings Of the independence" she is
seeking, and some Of the fruits of her
ingrattude, treason aud perjury. Should
the "Southern Confederacy' happen to
get into Il war with Mexico and the Uni
ted States ut the same time, pretty OK
tcnsice fold will be opened for the dis
play Of Southern va.0r.
