Aspect of Democratic Victories.

Aspect of Democratic Victories
We have heartily joined the Democracy /
AMI conservative men of Ohio, Indiana and /
PENNSYLVANIA, in jubilee nj the great and |
triumphant victory, in those three States. [
over Abolition flnaticism; whose leaders .
laid deep their plans to subvert this Co
vcrnmcnt, and thereby protract the war
as Il sanguinary means of speculation and I
crime-vhosa rapinc has already fastened
the sLaci,Ies OF unnecessary taxation upon
the poor man, whose misfortune it Is and
ALWAYS has been 10 bear the burden o.
such calamitics. Bat now that our fears
have been turned into JOY, because of the
result Of the recent election at home, and
the indications that New York. New .Iyr-
scy and those States, whose elections came
of yesterday, have followed the criterion
of Pennsylvania, and that they have like
wise triumphed over scctionaGsm. If our
s;gnguino expectations from those quarters
b. realiz Il, We may hope that !he success
OF the Democratic party may be turned to
good account. We may hope TO sse Con
grcss prcdominatc with conscryators who
shall act in harmony with the narTowrst
limits of the Constitution, which again
may unite the North with the mon men
of the South, in favor OF the old mon rs
our fathers bcqueathed it. 1t i to the
aspect of the next Congress we must look
and hope for such a result. The last Con-
gress, in its protracted career of madness
and folly, done much to bring about the
present unhappy existing state of aff;rirS :
and it is to the new congressman elect.
that we must hope for a correction of these
evils. At the same time, says the Louis
vile Jomnd, . there perhaps may b.
among the members of Congress recently
elected and to be hereafter elected. some
who need to be warned lest their antipa-
thy to radicalism betrav them into oppo-
sing or fecbly supporting such measures a:
true patriotism demands. We are in
formed that there are members elect
though certainly very frw-who hav,
seemed to direct almost their entire cncr
gics against what they consider tn, cr
rorS and offtns"s of the Federal Govern
mcnt, scarcely doing or saving ANYTHING
to encourage the prosecution of the wa
and the speedy crushing out of the rebel
Eon- If any such There arc, we are NOR
than willing TO ascribe their course. mc
TO any really disloyal intent, not to an
feeling Of tolcrarion for the rebel caus,
bat to the transient influences of partiSa
cXcitcments, growing out of their war;
conflicts with their flnatical opponent.
But we call upon them. when they taL
their places in the national councils. t
remember not only part hut aIi the
obligations 10 their country. Let ihci
fight radicalism as vigorously as they cal
but let not their fight against that impa
in the slightest degree the cxcrtion of the
energies in behalf of the vigorous pros
cution of the war and the speedy restor
ton of the Union. If any member
Congress falterS in the cause of the wa
if he seeks, md.r any prctcxt whateve
to arrest o. embarraSS it before it, mich
purposes are accomplished, if he attemp
to parglyze the Federal army by -huntir
up excuses for Withholding the ncccSsa
supplies of men and money. he will a
the part of traitor and deserve a traito,
punishment"
but We feel a strong assurance tn
the result OF the late election is the t
rnpil of true conservatism and cenui
patriotism, and that, as such, it will be
Its rich and legitimate fruits. We tru
that the whole people of the nation, co
servatives and radicals, will read it -arig
and understand Its significance Our ?
triotic millions are resolved TO have I
Union, and the Union rs it was. -
