'rhc Recon, Eiecssops.

Nest Of our readers have doubtless ais
ready heard Of the result IF the elections
held in Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana
last Tuesday. The Democracy have carried
all those States, with sweeping majorities
The Democratic gains IN Pennsylvania
and Ohio arc immouss. while in Indiana,
the enemy have been driven from the fed
IN Disgrace.
Our large gains of Congressman, just ut
this crisis, will be received as q most favor
able omen. Though the Republicans by
dishonest system of gerrymandering have
succeeded in defeating the gallant and tai
ented Yallandigham. yet they have lost
some of their m ost valiant leaders Grow,
the present Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and most inveterate and
unprincipled Republican, has been defeat
ed by good Democrat. And other lights
of that party have shared the same fate.
Democrats and true friends of the Union
have great reason to rejoice over the result
of last Tuesdays work in Pennsylvania,
OHIO aud Indiana 1t shows that the peo-
pie are returning to their sensos. For the
last two years they have tried Republicans
| ism and have become heartily SICK Of it !;
and hence are seeking the earliest oppor-
tunity to free the country lrcm its curse
That the emancipation proclamation of
/ President LIncoln has assisted in bringing
about this great change in the political
complexion of the States named, we have
not the 81 ghtest doubt The people of the
North are opposed to the negro invasion
| policy, nor President, nor Governors, nor
military officers of high rank can win them
/ to its favor. The fact is, the people of the
free and loval States do not desire to have
anything to do with slavery, nor do they
wish the freed negroes Of the South to be
/ forced upon them.
Thus have the great States OF Psnnsyl-
vaniG, Ohio and INDIANA passed their vir>
dict upon the Presidents proposed decree
of emancipation. The largely increased
| Democratic delegations to Congress from
those States, prove that the people are
averse to the emancipation scheme
That reaction is rapidly taking place
10 public sentiment is evident enough A
revolution is going on in all the loyal
States, which, unless tho Administration
returns to its frs policy Of conducting the
w2r solely FOR the restoration of the Union
and the maintenance of the constitution,
will ultimately sweep the last vesli &c Of
Republlcanism from the land.
Democrats aad lovers of the old Union
and the constitution have abundant reasons
for congratulations over the result of last
Tuesdays elections. Lat Illinois, New
York and other States following the exam
pie Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and
there may be yet hope of a reconstruction
Of the Union.

The Joliet Repujijcaa, fearful that the
popularity and eminent worth of Charles
e. Boyer. one Of eur candidates for Repre-
sentatiVes, would secure his election, has
launched off in the field of personal detrac-
tim. In It's last issue it INDUCES in nu-
merous low Hings at ihe reputation and
character Of a man whom the breath of
calumny never before dared direct its poi
sonous od7rs.
BUTT affords US pleasure to be utls to
say to cur cotemporary that its vile slang
will have little affect where sir. Boyer is
known. The fact is Mr.. Boyer is going to
be elected, and the lies and ISLANDERS of the
Republican cannot prevent that result
The people Of VIII and Grundy counties
have made up their minds to this.
We might retort by assaili NJ the person
al characters of the Republican nominees,
but We hare no taste fer that style of ad
vancing political preferences. Therefore,
