egy' Il is pleasant to record that in the
recent reelection of Senator Foot, he had
no more hearty supporters chan very many
who, according to old party classification,
were democrats. His name was presented
in the Senate by Mr.. Stoughton, and in the
House it win be seen that the nomination
was seconded by Mr.. Hu5bell, of Fairfax,
With Mr.. Hubbell we have no personal
acquaintance, and never saw him as we
remember, but have long known him as a
staunch and leading democrat of our state.
He is evidently not in sympathy with the
little faction who style themselves demo-
Gratis in Vermont, but true Union man,
who does not believe in mere partizan war
fare in the present state of our country. II
is such action that gives US hope of the coun.
try and its government.

THE CONSTITUTION AS IT 1s.-There
are class of men 10 this country who
have given the most positive evidences
OF a living patriotism, yet who have
been dcrided BY another large class for
advocating support Of the Constitution
as it is." Foremost in this class Of de-
riders must be named the New York
Tribune, and its smaller imitators. 1t
gives us pleasure, however, to observe
that tho Tribune is becoming apparent
" more loyal; at least the following
extract indicates that, in spite Of all it
has sneeringly thrown ct those who
support the Constitution 40 it is," it
now takes it oil back:
1.-THE obvious basis OF an adjustment
is the constitution Of the United States,
scithout note or comment. Oar fathers
made It, and it cannot degrade their
sons to reofirn It,"

THELArE ELECTIONS.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.
Returns are sufficiently footed to
show pretty near the actual results in
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. The
Democratic gain in each State has been
remarkably large.
Ohio il to-day redeemed from the
hands of the Abolitionists. In the pres
en-. Congress she has thirteen Republi-
can Representatives and only eight
Democrats. The tables are completely
turned, and more too, for in the next
Congress she will have fourteen Demo
orats and only five Republicans. In
both branches Of her State Legislature
abe will be Democratic. The Demo
cratic majority will be about $4,000.
Compare this with Lincoln's vste
Line in. ................ xSIseIo

Lincoln, majority. ..44,37s
Add 10 the then Republican majority
the present Democratic majority, and
We find that 10 the short fpace Of two
wears the Democrats Of Ohio have made
q gain OF about ffty-fve thousand votes.
This shows somewhat conolusively that
there are few grains Of vitality yet ex-
isting in the Democratic party. This
has been . square party fight and moth.
ing lees. The Republicans may hide
themasl YES undor the name Of U nionists,
but it is the same fight, and the came
parties were arrayed against each other,
that fought the political battle Of the
Presidential campaign. Ohio stands
most nobly redeemed she has clear
field before her, and will be apt to hold
it.
Indiana throws up a bulwark Of Dem
ocratic votes Of about 5000 strong in
front Of the combined opposition. In
the present Congsess she has seven Re-
publicans and tour Democrats. The
Democrats have elected five Congress
men sure, and probably seven. This will
leave the Republicans with but four.

Add to this the democratic majority
OF this year, and it will be seen that the
slaughter Of republicans in that State
since tho Presidential campaign has
been immense. The Indiana State
Legislature will stand democrati: IN
both branches, and this being the case,
democratic u. s. Senator will be
chosen to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the expulsion OF Jesse d. Bright, v hich
Is now temporarily filled by Joseph A.
Wright by appointment.
Pennsylvania will also show Q gain
in democratic Congressman, and Z
strong gain in the State Legislature
The democrats will have the House by
a large majority, and will probably have
q majority on joint ballot. The perfect
ly enormous majority Of Lincoln in tina,
State will be reduced nearly to nothing
The effect of these results upon the
coming election in New York can but
have a great weight. Already it j.
noticeable. The democracy are throwing
themselves Into the work with degree
Of energy and determination before un.
known in political warfare. From cen.
ire to circumference no stone will re.
main unturned. The abolitionists are
working desperately, also, but the
chances are greatly against them.
Look out for another grand demo.
cratic victory in the Empire State.
