"Tm ELECTIONS IN YASKEepoM.'-
The northern hunkeys OF slavery can see
how the late elections are regarded by the
rebels, by the extract below, under Inc
above heading. and from the Richmond Dis
patcb. 1t will be seen that while the reh-
els take much aid and comfort in the result
of the late elections, they also IN charac-
teristic manner kick their would-be allies
in the North, without mercy. Here Is the
article, and remember II l. from reoei
newspaper printed at the rebel capital
"TI,cy (thc Democrats) believe res'ora-
ton still possible. In this respect they do
not manifest their usual sagaciy. They
have the incredible folly to believe that
there still turks among the body OF that
people who have fought against the Union
as men never Tough, before, a secret attach
ment TO the cd flag which is the most de-
tested Of all earthly symbols TO the whole
body of the Southern people. They donot
reflect that while, to them, the cnndillon
which It is intended to represent has been
productive of unalloyed blessings, il Is as
socated in the Southern mind with images
of commercial poverty and sectional oppres-
sion. To this imagined feeling Of latent
LOYALTY to the Union, they are willing to APP
peal. They have no doubt that they will
be successful. But first they must beat us
into the humor for submission. They must
make Us know their strength.
They must teach as that they are our
masters. They must kill hundred or two
thousand of our men. They must take
Richmond. They must crush the rebellion.
Aud then they will offer US terms, having
first asserted the supremacy of the Ameri-
can eagle. as they are tacetiouSly wont to
term the Yankee bnzzard. They care. and
/ pretend to care nothing for the niger
They will be willing, after having conquer
/ ed us to agree upon any terms, provided
the Union be restored. They will con-
/ sent to introduce slavery into every State
in the Union, provided this grand object be
attained. If the Southern people will not
/ agree to ALI this--as most assuredly they
I never will--then they are for carrying on
/ the war to any extremity that would satisfy
/ The most ultra of the Abolition party They
will never conscnt--let John Van Buren,
say what he may-to let the waywaid sis.

1t may be that Democratic Congress
might propose 20 the Southern States, as a
condition of re-entering the Uuion, to legal
ize slavery everywhere and this before pro
ceeding further with the war. But even
were tue South disposed, under any cir
cumstances, TO re-enter such a state d
bondage, il must be borne in mind that the
present abolition Congress has still one yeal
to run. In that time some of the most des
( perate battles The world ever heard of vii
have b en- fought, and the Yankees viii
already have conquered Us or been expelled
from our territory. So far. then, as the
war is concerned we shall gain nothing by
the late Democratic victories, al least tol
the present. As in the case Of expected
intervention, we warn our people TO trus
to themselves aud to nobody and nothin!
else. Nevertheless, ii is pleasant TO int
