No Cause 20 Rejoice.

The no party, no principle fuSiOnists
say, with something akin to modification
and malevolCnce, that we have no reason
to rejoice over the recent great Democrat
ic triumphs in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana-that it is rejoicing over our own
defeat. We like such defeats and shall
welcome more Of them with increased
qualification. The Democratic nominees
in each of these States were denounced
by the minions Of the Administration as
"secessionists, peace Democrats, and fol-
lowers of jeff Davis" as we have been in
this State by editors as mean, worthless,
craven and mendaciouS as their Eastern
prototypes. The election Of Democrats,
they predicted, would be regarded as a
secession triumph, and the whole power
and influence az the Federal AdminiStra-
ton, backed by money and threats, were
employed, freely and lavishly, to defeat
the Democratic candidates. But all avail
ed not The people were not to be fooled
nor frightened by idle predictions and in
famous threats. They knew that the
Democratic party had made the country
great, prosperous and powerful; they
knew the Republican party had brought

Fredericksburg, Virginia. Its silver jew
els or embemS were made in Scotland,
and sent to the lodge at the same time

initiation of Washington, and afterwards

says tnc 1IaEioaal Intelligcncer, "they and
the other property Of the Fredericksburg
lodge have been untouched successive
generations of Free Masons have regarded
the jewels as sacred heir-looms, and stran-
gers from all parts of the country have

during the occupation of fredericksburg
Ivy the Federal troops, lately, the lodge
was broken and the sacred Jewels stolen

ARE HALF OF Us DISLOYAL?-It is curl
Gus to notice, says the New York World,
that while the least respectable portion of
the Republican press are engaged, for II

New England States, is the FIRST of them
to complete its quota, while MaSSachu-
sets, the most Republican State, has al.
ready postponed the draft three times, and
now again puts it off. of the Western
States, Indiana, the most Democratic
State, has done the best both in recruiting
aud fighting all through the war.
We do not alude to these facts with any
intention of rejecting upon the courage
or loyalty of the Republican masses. 1t
would be as grossly unfair to do so as is
the attempt now making by the Rcpubli-
can press to convey the impression that
the members of the Democratic party
have not only not done their duty 10y the
government, but are secretly and actively
in the interest Of the enemy.
Thoughtful and prudent Republican
leaders would do well, however, to caution
their more Incorporate associates against
the impClicy of stigmatizing as disloyal a
party which the coming fall election may
prove to be in the ascendency in the
North. There are those who believe that
the congressman about to be elected will

\ CLINcmER.-At the last session 81 the
Ohio Legislature Democratic member OF
the Assembly introduced bill TO allow
tie volunteers to vote. 1t was iiercely
denounced by the Republicans and they
voted against it in body, and defeated 1t.
They well knew that at least three 'lourths
the Ohio papers said ninc-tenths-O l
the volunteers were Democrats, ard they
knew that the passage Of the bill would
be ruinous to their party. Had a major
ity of the volunteers been Republicans,
they would gladly have passed the blli.-
They were afraid to trus; the patriotic
men who were lighting for the old flag
The defeat of the Republican party in the
recent elections at the East, is partly at
tlibutable to the fact that thousands Of
its adherents fled to Canada and Europe
to escape the draft. \ few days before

Breckenridge, of Kentucky, a strong

"The permanent triumph of the Dem

see to be possible to the country"
This is the opinion of int. lligent con-
sentative men everywhere. The Repub.
