FORT LAFAYETTE DISMANTLED.
A Grand DclivCrance of the Country
DETAILS OF TUE RESULT.

The astonishing but most glorious re.
suits Of the elections on the 4th inst. fill
very patriots heart with joy. Tue
Waterloo Of politics was fought on that
occasion, and never did n righteous cause
obtain more signal triumph. There is
cause for Democrats, and all other Con
servative, Constitution and Liberty low
| ing Union men, to shouts, march in pro
ccssion, ring bells, display banners, fire
cannon, and demonstrate in every other
holiday fashion, their irrepressibie cnthu-
siasm at the great deliverance of the
country from the Radcalism, and the
Obstructive principles which it is cndca
vorlng to put in practice, to the ruin OF
the dearest interests Of the nation.
One year ago, New York gave 107, 712
Abolition majority. Now she rrioiccs
in n Democratic Governor, elected by
$4,000 ma ority, Democratic Lcgisla-
iuro which will elect a United States
Senator, and Is of the 81 Congressman.
New Jersey has covered herself with
glory. The Abolition ajoiity of 5000
one year ago has given way to Dem.
ocratic ma jority of 10000. We have
Democratic Governor, of the Mem
bers Of Congress, and a large majority
in the Legislature, which secures a Sena.
tor. Glory to the Blue Hens Chicken.
Illinois comes laundering along with
1000 majority for the Democ ratio State
ticket, certainly 0, and probably TO- of
the Ia Members Of Congress, and large
ajority in the Legislature, which will
oust BRowNING from tho Senate and elect
a Democrat.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
show tremendous Democratic gains in
tho popular vote, in the Congressional
deieg gations and in the Legislature. The
chances are that the Abolitionlsts have
all three OF the States by very small ma
critics, and it will require one moro ef-
ort TO "clean them out" The Democ-
'acy and Conservatives Of these States
lave all done nobly. and if they are only
partially successful they have great cause
o rejoice.
In Massachusetts Gov. ANDREWS is of
curse reelected; but even abolition Mas
achusctts has not been left entirely bey-
nd the reach of the waves of popular
evolution. ANDHEw's majority at his
ormcr election suffers an immense reduc-
on. Gen. DEvENs, the Peoples and
Democratic candidate polls splendid |
otto. Boston gives him a majority of
yer thousand. The Legislature and
congressional delegation are Abolition,
) matter of course. But j S. SLEEPER
Dem. is elected to Congress in the 3d
istrict. In 1860 the Republicans carried
le State by 10000. Their present ma
'rity is about 10000.
Last year Delaware gave lage fusion
ajority. Now we have the Member of
ongrcss, and Democratic Legislature
} elect n United States Senator. Tho
bolitionists, by some strange freak, Sc
lred the Governor by Ill majority.
