The Elections.

"a The returns from the elections which
came OF yestelday, are meagre, and at
present writing it is impossible to speak
with certainty Of the result The indica-
tions are that New York has gone Demo
cratic. New Jersey is Democratic bey yond
doubt In Illinois the result is not known
and there is nothing decisive from Missouri
or Wisconsin. The Abolitionists claim
to have carried Michigan by small ma
jority. From Massachusetts there is moth.
ing decisive, but the Democrats have
doubtless made heavy gains in that hot
bed OF AboliGonism
Such returns as we have received will

The army Of assessors is about These
Republican oilice.holders are prying into ev.
cry mans diningroom and parlor, and his
workshop and store, into his bArnyard and
stable, to see where they can extort dollar
or two from bis hard earnings. And this is
but the beginning of the end" This tax,
ms we stated recently, is sufficient to pay the
interest on TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARSl Now the
question is, what does Stevens want of this
immense amount of tax, il the national debt
be, as he and bis abolition coadjutors allege,
only fire hundred miliionS9 Why wiring
from the people fve times greater amount
than is necessary Is it that new batch OF
public plnndering officials may amass for.
tunes at Tie expense Of the Taxpayers? Is
il that another hundred or two hundred mil
ions may be stolen from the public treasury,
as was proven TO be the case by Committee
OF Congress from their own selection.

The journal and Sam COZ.

The Journal this morning says SAN
Cox has got on the "rebel platform" We
don't sxacsly understand what the editor
means by This sssertioR. The dharee is
based upon the following extract from a
speech made BY Mr.. COX in New York, a
few days since. He said
"Every Aboli,ionis. is uafaithful to the Con.
stitution, and nothing else. Every honest
Aboliiionist, II there is such one, is dis.
unionist"
This is, doubtless, what the Journal
calls the "rebel platform" If so, then
ANDY JOHNSON, Military Governor Of
Tennessee, is rebel. That is his plat
form. He is the author of it. He de.
clared, in speech from the Court House
steps in this city, and at several other
places in this State, that can Abolitionist
is disunionist VIII the Journal pre-
tend to deny that this is not ANDY JoHN-
sons platform We presume not. Then
the qne'tion naturally arises, is ANDY
Johnson rebel ? The logic is clear.
The Journal asserts that SAM Cox is on
the "rebel platform +" that platform is
ANDY JoHNsoN's; then, in the opinion Of
that paper, JOHNSON is a rebel, and every
tan opposed to Aboltionism is on the
"rebel platform" If the Journal means
that they are rebels against Abolitiouism,
we are not going to dispute it; in fact, we
agree with it. VIII the editor be a little
more explicit.

SLAVERY A. A WArs ToWEH.

We all remember how confidently j, was
predicted before the war and in II, carJ stages
that Slavery would prove the fatal weakness oil
the South. Southern society was n pyramid
on It's yericx, just ready 10 toppo over; u
sleeping volcano, ever threatening eruption.
Yea, but strong arms may hold an inverted
pyramid upright, and there s n stability which
even volcanic forces caulOt disturb. Fear and
irrcsoluiion on the part OF thr dominant race
of The South would have invited instruction;
but that race has shown that 1t knows how to
rule aud use lis four millions Of African slaves
even amid tho commissions OF war; and has
held them IN its grasp with uniallcring courage
and unyielding determination. Embroidered by
eighteen months Of safety and fuccoas, it e2-
ultingly proclaims 10 the North its superior
ability to endure II protfac,ed war because is
armies arc not drawn from il lAborng classcs.
10 ia the testimony of the bcst-inlormed refu
gees within our lines That tho whole available
working force of slaves throughout the Rebel
States has been employed early and late, the
season through, in raising corn and rice, and
whatever can be used for the subsistence Of
tho Rebel army. Those who could DO spared
from this task have been kept at work ON de-
