THE ELECTIONS.-The Cincinnati
Enquirer, Medary's Crisis, and all
the papers of that class, were for
weeks. previous to the spring cleo
tions making constant and earnest
appeals to those who follow their
lead TO organ:ze, nominate tickets,
ard omit no possible effort to secure
tie election Of their cardidatcs.-
Well, tic elections have been held,
and the intelligence from every quar-
ter shows al almost unbrokcn series
Of Union triUmphs. Indeed, per-
feet storm OF patriots N has Lccn &c
veloFcd, which ;ueurs well for the
future, and clearly indicates the re-
suits that may be anticipated in
coming contests if those who assume
tolead the opposition venture TO con-
duct canvass in this State upon a
platform such as that upon which
the party stood in the late contest
III Connecticut.
Cincinnati, which last fall gave a
Democratic majority Of aEcut 15CO,
has just elected the entire Union
ticket by majorities averaging about
1900. Cleveland, Dayton, Zanes-
vile, Toledo, Sandusky City, Chilli
cothe, SteubenviIle, Troy, with ma
ny other places, have gone strongly
Union; and wherever a contest was
made, the result shows heavy Uni
on gains since last fall-the gain in
Columbus even (Which is about the
hardest spot in the State) being from
500 to 7C0.
In other States, too, the same
cheering signs are manifested. The
city of Indianapolis gives Il Union
majority Of 1000, which is a gain of
about 1000; and St. Louis and JEFF
ferson City, Mo-, have both given not
only heavy Union but also Emanci-
patton Il a;clit;cs: It's like pro-
claiming unyielding hostility to the
rebellion, and Ill favor of eradi-
eating from their State the institu-
ton that produced it.
GLoEIoUs VICTORY IN CGHNEcTI-
cUT-The cIection held in Connecti-
cut last Monday resulted III dcvis-
i've Union victory. Buckingham,
the Union candidate for Governor,
is elected by nearly 3,CC0 majority !;
three Of the four Congressional dis
tricts have elected Union Eerrcscn-
tatives, being gain of orc mcmber; !;
the Senators elected stand Il Union
to Z Democrats, the members of the
House 139 Union to 81 Democrats.
The victory is one Of the most I'M
portant that has been achieved since
the rebellion commenced, and lis in
fuence cannot be otherwise than
salutary. The candidate nominated
by the opposition for Governor is an
open and avowcd sympa thizcr with
the south in the pending struggle,
and the speeches delivered in the
convention that put him in nomina-
tion and the resolutions passed were
of such character that an audience
of rebels in Richmond or Charleston
could have listened to and applaud
ed them with great propriety.-
With such candidate to head their
ticket, and platform to correspond,
the issue presented to the voters
was clearly defined and tie verdict
of the people is triumphant vindi-
tation Of the Government in its eff
forts to crush armed treason, and a
most withering rebuke to thoseiu the
north whose sympathes are against
their OWN section and whose Ponly
ambition seems to be to give aid and
comfort to the enemy. The Sey,
mourites were confident of success /;
their speakers and press everywhere
proclaimed that they would sweep
the State, carrying everything from
Governor down; and the stunning
defeat they have sustained is the
more seriously felt because entirely
unexpected.
