RECENT AMERICAN ELECTIONS.
Our guest at Clifton and Windsor, N
Vsllandigham, has COME to grief. II
said that the majority against him in Obi
is neariy one hundred thousand. La
year the State was carried by the Dem,
cratic party, and the Republicans 10.
several members ofCongress. The chang
which is very startling one, is due {
two causes. Mr.. Vallandigham was no
good candidate. lie excited some syn
pathy, it is true, as a victim of Executiy
power; for many persons who have N
sympathy with his views on public affair
believed he was harshly dealt with by Gen
| Burnside and Mr.. Lincoln But his de
cIded expressions of desire for peace Q
any price were utterly repugnant to tn,
American mind. We have freouentl,
told the readers of the Globe that if tn,
Democrats were in power to morrow the
would not adopt different policy from
that pursued by the Republicans, and W,
find fresh proof of the fact in the Ohit
election. 1t was the peace principle o
Mr.. Vallsndigham which secured for hin
the most decided defeat ever encountered
10y the nominee of a great party in Ohio
IL was not the Republican party which
gave the large majority against him. AL
parties united in protest against
the policy of peace at any price. 1t is as
serted that the Democrats were deceived
by their success of last year. They fan
cIed that the people were opposed 10 the
war, because at the moment they showed
hostility to the reigning party, and they
hastened to put themselves on the Leact
platform Aided by the success of the
Northern arms during the past summer,
a great reaction has taken place and the
Republican nominees have swept the
board in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Iowa. A noticeable thing about the Ohio
election is that the soldiers, who voted in
their camps, almost to "a man cast their
suffrages for Brough, Vallandighan's op
ponent, which shows that the army is NOT
Yet tired of the war, but is resolved on
carrying it Ito the bitter eno."
Perhaps the most important result of
these elections is the effect they are likely
to have on the Presidential contest. The
hope of the South has been that Demo-
crat would succeed Mr. Lincoln, and that
an arrangements might be made to secure
and the Independence of the
South. The Democrats have hoped that
they might end the war by negotiation,
and bring the South back with new guar
antees for the existence of the peculiarin-
stitution. We see no reason 10 believe
that. supposing Democratic President to
De elected, he would either persuade the
south 10 come back or would consent to
peace with separation as its lasis; yet
,hese expectations have been INDUCED in
1y large numl ers both North and South.
The recent elections will 90 far to dispel
hem. The Peace party at the North has
no foothold, and the sole hope
,f the Democrats for next fall rests upon
heir placing themselves on as broad a
'latform as their opponents. The nation

must, be warlike The New York Herald,
which has always denounced the Lincoln

iouncing the Copperheads and Peace
nen, including Vallandigham, Governor
eymour Of New York, and Fernando
Wood.
1t is very doubtful, however, whether
he Democrats have any chance of elect |
lg the next President. Much depends, |
{ course, upon the events of the next
inc months. The people of the North |
esire the war to be pursued; and if, at |

ommitted errors, and that even their
ood deeds, such as the Emancipation
will lose them many votes,
ut if they be successful in the prosecu-
on of the war, their failings will be for
often. The enormous patronage which
aey WELD will give them great strength,
lough it will also weaken them. The
eople look with the utmost jealousy and
version upon the enormous gains of the
rmy contractors. They are, perhaps, too
svere upon the men of shodtly. because
hen the material for an army of million
rs to be provided in a year, great pre-
lium is necessarily paid for promptitude
nd energy, and fortunes are speedily
lade. 1t was so in Britain's great war at
ne commencement of the century, and
he Americans could not hope to avoid
aging through the nose for their whistle.
. is well, however. for the public to be
alous of Government contractors, and
lie Americans are disposed to keep a
,ecially close watch upon the men of
loddy.
rive names are prominently mentioned
probable Presidential condidateson the

sward, Fremont and Banks. In some
,spects Mr.. Lincoln stands at the head
the list. He is admitted by all to be
onest and shrewd, and his own party are
loroughly satisfied with his management
the politics of the nation since his ac-
,ssion to Office. His management of the

lccessful the voice of complaint will be

s q matter of course, Mr.. Lincoln's re-
