An Election Incident,

We learn that on the night OF the late elec
tion in this State, there were assembled in
the Governors Office at Columbus, the Gov,
ernor, Major General and several other no
tables, waiting anxiously for the news OF
overwhelming majorlies against the Democ~
racy. The news began to come in very dis
astrously for their bright anticipations, when
the Major General remarked: II think, Gov
ernor, you have got me into scrape By ses
ducing me to make that speech indorsing tho
emancipation proclamatios." The Governor
thereupon cooked his eye at the General and
replied: General, there are some others |
know OF in the same scrape." Just then q
yell, which had not saluted the Governors
ears for many Gay, went up from the Des
mocracy in the street over some extra good
news, whom Tod remarked: Gentlemen,
recognize that as Democratic thunder. am
familiar with the sound" In q few mos
ments after the Governors office was tenan-
ted only by the lonely cricket, the anxious
walters after good abolition news having va,
mosed to their respective places Of rest for
the night Gin. Enq.

What RepubIicsnism Leads To

II VI.
II is almost incredible, but il is tire, that
the more advanced among the Republican
leaders, are no longer content with asserting
for tbe negro equality. simply, with the
white man. They are taking the ground
that he is superior to the white.
In another part Of the Gazstte, We pub.
lished paragraph from the Cincinnati Com.
mercial, in which every plea proposed by
white men for the disposal OF the negro. is
declared .'uustatesmanlike, inhuman and i'm.
practicable" and at The same time the editor
cites the reader, with evident appreciation to
= plan proposed by 4 negro correspondent Of
b'e same paper! printed in the Commercial Of
The same date!
The Boston Commonwealth ian organ Of
Charles SumnerD Of Oct Is, has q CORES.
pondent who discusses "The Negro as He
Is" in an article some two columns long
lu that article we find the following with
much more Of the same sort:
"The negro is always friend. Gratitude,
that most beautiful OF characteristics, is much
more largely developed in him than in the
white man."
They are dOcis, graceful race, full OF
fun snd hope"
"The negro, tropical by nature, is all alive
to kindling poetical influences. His imagi-
nation runs wsld in blaze of glory. His
gift OF music endears him to US by the most
beautiful Of social bonds"
And now, after this glowing panegyric, on
the negro, the advocacy of msleamation to
Improve the Anglo Saxon stock, follows logi-
cally and naturally. The writer says:
"ln our practical, anxious, unimagipative
country, We need an effusion Of this ieryid
African element, SO child like, exuberent
and hopeful. We ought to prize it as we
do our woods and glowing gems imported
from the gorgeous tropics"
We desist from further quotations; but we
warn our Republican friends that, in all hu
man probability, the next Chicago Platform
will assert the superiority Of the negro as q
sell evident truth "-Ioonn Gosei6,

Hard ON Eiacikus,

The Ashtabula Sentinel (Joshua Gidings's
organ) says, speaking of the recent State
election. "The only real loss to Republicans
on the State ticket is the School Commissioner
and Attorney General. The Secretary is .
Democrat anyhow: and between Mr. Backus
and Judge Ranney the Republicans had little
or nothing to choose" This is rather severe
to say the least, on our distinguished fellow
citizeh, +. L Backus. What does the Herald
think of it? The Leader of course fully in.
diorses anything and everything emanating
from the great apostle of servie isurrection,

incumbent Of the War Department, and stated
thsl this important change having taken place,
