The record is as yet lncompletely madq1$
pf the elections in several States on Tues .
aay last, Enough is however known toy
n,dicate change In the complexion Of the[ r.
popular vote in many parts Of the country,
as compared with that which brought into
power the present administration. They
viii swell still higher the result Of the
eunua1 elections held earlier in the fall,
and the aggregate will foot up as Demo-
cratic victory, reverse to the party which
two years ago elected their president 4
Now it is impossible not to see what
party will be most delighted by these re-
suits at the ballot box. The nearer you
press to the heart Of the rebellion the
greater will be the joyous manifestations,
until, this time, we may readily believe that
In the rebel Senate this result will be re-
ccived a. other Northern news was once,
but more problema4ically, said to have
been received, with roars Of laughter"
JeE Davis and his cabinet will exult in
the goodly company and kinship Of the
Fernando Woods and Dick Richardson's
and their lesser tribcs Of the North. |
There is one thing to be considered Tor
&he encouragement Of loyal men, aud that
is, deception will grow out Of this, and
then the South viii have been t@ice de-
<riycd, and this last time fatally. The lead
CTS have only achieved this result In the
North by masking carefully their real mo-
siyes. They have denied their true atfiui- /
tics, have stoutly protested before the peo-
1lc that the rebels were no9isc connected
With their plot This is not the time f,r
8 deception Of this character to be long
maintained. The people may have been
sold, but their delivery is quite another
matter. ANY rogue may make a fraudu
lent bargain, and if he be moderately sharp
may pocse, the proceeds, hut the SUCCESS
tul transfer i the point where very much
c1,dt Of high order has been wrecked.
We believe tue people have been deceived
into vote which promises Northern SYM
patny aud aid to Southern rebels. The
tine is not far disan. when maay Of these
Hoodwinked voters will inevitably wake
up to the reasonable attempts Of their
1r:itorous bell wc1h.rs The South will
will gain nothing hy this deceit It has
harmed us only temporarily, as We shall
see shortly.
