Election News.

The news Of the results of the recent elections
10 Pennsylvania, Ono and Indiana, are not Of
the most gratifying character ana we hope the
Democratic trumphs which are reported, may
not turn out 30 badly as they now look ior
the Union cause 1t possible that the Demo
Gratis, who are reported elected to Congress, may
urge as vigorous a prosecution Of the war, and
as utter and overwhelming suppression of the
rebellion, as would the Republicans or Union
Democrats whom they have defeated and we
trust the event will SO prove At the same time
we cannot be blind to the fact that these poiti-
cal defeats Of Republicans and war Democrats
for Congress, will be Interpreted and hailed in
the South as the triunph of the rebellion in
some of the Protean forms in which it hopes
yet to domineer On this continent. We shall
be glad to see no dsgracetul and dishonorable
peace propositions started, as the fruit Of these
elections, bat we confess to grave approximations
lt Is possible, however, for the government
with the power ana the armies which it already
has Ia its control, to move forward with sucl
terrible ea"nestoess inputting down treason
that, by the time the next Congress meets, there
shall not he enough Of his child of slavery left
to eompromise with; aud we trust these election,
will demonstrate the necessity of this course. Let
rebellion be crushed utterly and treason left nc
place IN the Republic, and then if peace Demo

country can afford to discuss the matter leisure

We are glad to learn that this very important
arm OF the service Is not to be neglected Ohio,
Illinois, Michigan and many other States have
already organized companies and battalions Of
Sharp Shooters, and now we hear that battal-

Thepau proposed by Capt Drew, who is the

leave his business or incur expense, bat simply
promise to come at the clll Of his country
whenever more men are wanted
We have many reasons for thinking that an
other call for troops will be made as early as
January. They will be raised by a draft and
so those who 60 into this battalion will save

quotas of their respective towns.

will stimulate the traltorous politicians Of the
North, who are busily at work to accomplish
the same result, to renewed and holder efforts.
And the evils that are the inevitable conse-
Quence of the war, the burden of the pubic
debt, the arrangement OF business, the loss of
private fortunes, will all contribute to furnish
arguments to convince selfish and mercenary
men, whose patriotism never was very hearty,
that there is some better, safer and more profit
able way to finish the war than by keeping ar
mics in the field
There is but one way for the government to
prrsue to counterfeit the evil influences of these
elections. Let the war be prosecuted with the
forces already raised, and the power which the
government already has at its commaud, with
the utmost vigor. Let rebellion be pushed to
the walk before it has time to take adantage of
it's new Northern ally. Let treason be made
powerless In its own home by the terrible blows
OF the grand army Of million Of men which
the nation has raised and then these Congress
men, who have sympathy with treason, and
wish to treat it mildly, can 60 as m0urneFs ut

The above was not written by an abolition
ist,-at least not one when he went South -
but gentleman eminently conservative on the
the subject of slavery, and who, year ago,
heartily agreed with those who thought, if
we would let the negroes entirely alone, and
devote ourselves wholly to fighting treason, we
should get along swimmingly And the change
of opinion in this case is only one of a thousand
similar conversions, and makes the,testimony of
such observers ell the more valuable respecting
the policy of weakening the rebels by taking
away the main stay of the rebellion.

Re.distrlcting the State.

The first congressional district in this State,
now comprises the counties Of Bennington, Rut-
land, Addison and Washington. The second
district comprises Windham, Windsor, Orange
and Caledonia. The third district comprises
Chittenden, Franklin Grand Isle, Lamoille,
Orleans and Essex. When the State was last
Distracted it was thought desirable by the dom
inan, party in the State to make three Wing
districts, and Washington County was therefore,
quite in violation Of all " centres Of travel,
geographical or otherwise, put into the same
district with Addison and Rutland, two strong
Wing counties. BY this scheme the people in
Washington County, who had any desire to at
tend the district eonyentions-which we believe
have been invariably held the other side Of the
mountaln-have been under the necessity OF
going through the 81 district in order to get TO
the place Of meeting, and must be gone three
days, at least, in order to reach the convention
in season to take part in its delIberation. This
is q deci ed Inconvenience, and Que which moth
Ing but a political necess .ty would ever have i'm
posed upon any portion Ct the State.
There is no absolute necessity Of re-distrctng
the State now, but it is a matter worthy Of con-
sideratIon whether a new arrangement woul1
not, on the whole, better accommodate the peo-
pie IN every part ct the State. Orleans and Wash
ington Counties have largely increased IN ropu-
lauon IL the last decade, and gal ed one Senator
each. Railroad communication has been extend
ed to Barton, and will soon reach Derby, and
the facilities for travel have made sections of
the State near each other, which were before re-
mote. All these facts furnish excuses, if not
sufficient reasons, for u new dstricting tn fall
There are several ways in which this might
be done. Bennington, Rutland, Addison and
Chlttendcn could make one di trct, Windham,
Windsor, Orange and Washington another, and
Grand Isle, Franklin, LAmole, Orleans, Essex
ment, full as convenient, would be, Windham,
Bennington, Rutland and Addison for one dis
trict, Windsor, Orange, Washington and Gale
donia for another with the third remaining
as now. Sill another arrangement would put
Orleans and Essex with Windsor, Orange and
Caledonia, leaving Washington County with
Lamoille, Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle
Either one OF these divisions of the tate
would better accommodate those who wish TO
attend the nominating conventions from Wash
ington County, than the present one ; and since
aomiuatlon is equivalent to an election, these
conventions are frequently Of more importance
to the District than the election itself. We
don't know which of the foregoing divisions
would be most acceptable to this county, but
we are quite sure that either OF them won d be
preferable to the present. We commend the
subject to the attention of the Legislature.

The Effect of Taking the Slaves from the
Rebels

Among those who have opposed Emanclpa-
ton, and who now pretend to distrust It's effect
lyeness as war policy, no argument has been
more popular or more frequently used, than
the one declaring such policy mere jra-
tan tR'meH, and Of 40 practical effect whatever,
\ little evidence on this subject is worth reams
