The election is over, but we hardly th,nk
there will he any demonstrations of ioy over
the result
We believe few human beings are enhrelv
destitute OF the sense Of shame-we do not
think our community have lost it entirely and
sure we are that while one particle of shame
is left they will scarcely indulge in any en-.
thnsiastIc manifestations Of Joy Their shouts
wonld stick ia their throats, their flags wou Id
dap like the wings Of ill-omeued birds, and
their fireworks would burn with the CHASTITY
glare OF the tomb fire. Mol they can not
dance while the corps OF liberty is laid out be-
lore them; they can not laugh with those death
hxed eyes staring them in the face"
We take from the same paper the following
items:

are about the same character as 10 the city

day morning there was but one Wickllle
vote, and mat was poled before the arrival

| We are glad TO know that some of the
lsrnHgest Administration men look ploomiIy
at the manner in which the State election
was managed
No man who has any regard for the rights
OF Siales can make any defense or apology
Tor It Let those rejoice in suecess who can
rejoice over an election supervised at Wash
ington We have various authentic accounts
OF the suppression OF votes III different places
but we shall try to avoid any statements not
authenticated The plain truth is, the seople
OF this State were DISTINGUISHED aud deprived
Of the right to vote according to the Consti.
tuition and laws Of the State
The lesson taught is ominous. What are
we to expect next2 is the inquiry Ths is no
election, is the remark of men who have
always stood firmly by the Union" 10.
