The elec'i ion news from the States is partic

beaten at every point. \ Democratic Sena-
tor will be elected in the place of David C.
WilmOt, and Democratic Senator in Indiana.
The reign of terror is over. The people are
asserting their right of self government. They
will submit to the dictation of corrupt traitors
and tyrants no longer American citizens are
not yet ready to resign their freedom to a set
of crazy fanatics. The Republican party has
received a rebuke which is as deserved as it is
severe. 1t went into power possessing the
confidence of the people, and promising to re-
form the abuses which had crept into the diff
ferent departments of Government. 1t has
been in power nearly two years and the histo-
~ of the world nowhere shows such corruption
and abuses Of power Nero would hide his
diminished head in shame in trying to equal
some of the hangers on of this party in acts of
tyranny and OPPRESSION but thanks to an all
wise and kind Providence, their career of in
fanny is checked. The people have asserted
their manhood and have showp their intention
to drive these traitors frcm place and power
When the last one is driven from place the
whole civilized world should unite in a day of
Thanksgiving for so great dellverance. The
memory of these corrupt partisans will be held
in execration as long as the name of American
exists. The time is fast approaching, when
the name of Republican will be the most
disgraceful epithet that can be attached to any
one; it will be considered sufficient to cover
with infamy any one to whom it is attached
