George d. Prentice, OF the Louisville Jour.
nal, speaking of the late elections. says:.~-T
The "great uprising" OF the people, in its
instand true sense, has besun-not TO destroy,
bat to make whole. These elections inlicate
in manner not to be misapprehended, tho
thorough opposition Of the people to the
radical agencies which have been so long and
so mischevously at work in this country, in
all their modes and manifestations. The
people begin to see more clearly what evils
these agencies have affected and to what
they would lead, ifnot checked and control-
ed The elections are certain rebuke TO
the whole emancipation, policy. And ihi is
popular tide is one which cannot go back.
There is no reaction possible against the
forward movement which once brings lanatl-
cism and radio ,liSm to a pause,-The time
must come, when the impulse IN which
consisted all the power et their blind and
corrupt PROCESS is exhausted. They have
then reaced their culmi hating point and re-
cede. The nesromania has now eyidentF
reached it and can go no further; and it. may
be counted sure, that it Gun never again be,
as it has been, the fruitful source OF public

Gen. Blount, by making hard nights

The engagement lasted about an hour
and resulted in the total rout Of the enemy
with the loss Of all his artillery, battery o
six Founders, a large number OF horses and

The Late Elections.

OHIo.-The result of the election
in Ohio, as announced last week, is
confirmed. The Democrats have cleo
ted fourteen Congressman, and the
Abolitionists five. The Democratic
State Ticket is elected by a majority
not much above or below five thousand.
Tod's majority last year, was $4,000.
Had there been Legislature to elect
this year, the Den ocrats woald have
carried two-thirds of the members,
and secured genuine Union Senator
in place of Wade.
INDIANA.-In this State, the Dem
ocrats have elected seven Congressman
and the Abolitionists four. They have
also elected their entire State ticket
by majority somewhere between five
and ten thousand. In addition; to this,
they have carried both branches of the
Legislature, thus securing the choice
of democratic U. s. Senotor in place
of Wright, who was appointed to fill
the place of Bright. .-
IowA.-The Abolitionists claim thai
they have" elected all SIX of the Con
gressmen to which this State is enti
tied under the new census, while som'
Of the: Iowa papers claim the election
of two Den ocrats, making the delega
ton four Republican and two Demo
Gratis, which is probably correct. Th
abolitionists also claim majority o
eight or ten thousand on the Stat
| Ticket. -..
PENNsYLvANIA.-In the old Key
stone, according to the Pittsburg Pos
of last Monday the Democrats hav
elected twelve Congressman and tn
!, Abolitionists twelve. The Legislator
is Democratic by Ole majority, o
Joint ballot, thus securing a Democrat
ic U. S. Senator. The vote on tn
State ticket is close, but it is know
that the Democrats have majority
their favor. Two yearssago, Governc
, Curtingcarried the State by 37,0o
: and Lincoln by about $4,000. Wh'

Some Of the smart blacks saw thew
are-not disappointed at the result of
the election, because their men are in
the army. Why didn't they let the
soldiers vote then? The Democrats in
the Legislature last winter pressed the
passage of law allowing the voIun-
tcers the right to vote. The measure
was defeated by the Republicans. Does
anybody believe, if the soldiers would
have carried the State for them, they
would have refused to let them vote?
Why didn't they let the soldiers vote?
Because they knew the soldiers would
defeat them. Black Republicans in
the army! That is good joke. They
are defeated, not because their men
are IN the war, but because the people
are opposed to the Administration and
its war policy.

NE. The Now York Tribune in il

Bsa- The New York Tribune in its
frantic fanatieism charges "treason'
against all who oppose wholesale negro
immigration into the free States! If
that be treason, the results Of the late
elections will enable Greeley to figure
up an immense majority of traitors in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana!-
What extreme wickedness it is, for
Abolition editors to continue to make
charges of this character. 1t can on~
| ly have an injurious effect upon the
cause of our Government. We learn
from high authority, that several rep
resentatives of foreign governments at
Washington, few days ago, called the
attention Of the Administration to the
fact, that its organs were thus freely
charging treason upon a majority Of
the people in the Northern States, and
asked if such were really. deemed to
be the case by the executive officers of
the Government. Should the charge
be regarded as true, the foreign minis
ters said they would be forced to con-
slider the case of the Government ex-
itremely desperate. The charge was
doubtless branded as being false, and
the representatives Of the European
powers assured that there were none
more loyal than the Democracy. But
the Administration ought not to stop
with that. 1t ought to devise ways
and means to put an end to these char
ges of treason against the loyal people
of the North, printed in every Aboli-
ton newspaper, and uttered by every
Abolition stumper, throughout the
country. The men who are guilty o.
this thing, are daily giving ''aid and
comfort" to the Southern Confederacy,

Mar. EValIandigham- They
Lie ab0ui Him.

Although the election is over, the
Abolition press still continue to lie
about Mr.. Vallandigham. The Phila-
delphia Bulletin says:
"For instance, Vallandigham. OF Ohio, the
leader OF the Seeessionists in Congress, has
been defeated, although his district is strong
ly Democratic"
There are two LIES in those four
lines. Vallandigham is not and never
was a Secessionist. His NEW DISTRICT
made by the Abolition Legislature,
never was Democratic in the history OF
the State, but always rolled up ma,
iority of thousands against the organ!
ization. Last year it gave over 5000
Abolition majority-now hardly one
third of that number, and that by the
baset fraud. The district Mr.. Vallan
digham now represents gave him 75'
majority.

The Abolitionists started the story
recently that General Cass had indor'
sed the Presidents Emancipation
Proclamation. This the Detroit Free
Press, printed at the home of the Gen
eral, denounces as a base calumny:-
1t seems that the young gentleman
who propogated the story--and who
recently turned his back on all the
professions of life--simply misrepre'
sented the expressions Of General Cass
stating them to have been the very op.
posite of what they in fact were. Al
the rate at which he has started out
he will acquire good position in thu
Abolition party speedily.

Talk Oni,

This is our advice to Democrats.
Obey the laws and orders of the Gov.
ernment. Our only remedy against
them Is to change them. In the mean
time, TALK OUT LOUD. TALK
TO REPUBLICANS. TELL THEM
WHAT, YOU THINK OF TILE
ADMINISTRATION AND IT'S
WAR POLICY. They can't arrest
us all, and the few they do arrest will
give1courage to those they don't, and
they will be that much the more excl.
tel and dangerous to the Black Re-
publican party. Keep talking--every'
body. Don't talk treason. Talk pol
itics.
