The lesson which the elections in rariou, local

that of the mere elevation OF men 10 temporary
power; and il would b. well if those traitors

the elections. These lessons are interesting to
loyal citizens and insiructive to copperhaad
Democrats For ihe benefit Of both, We pre-
sent review:

same increase is attained at the fall election
for Governor, the Union Republicans win car

city election. can carry Pennsylvania by
AT least fifty thousand majority. To do this,
| however, We must organize al once, and agi-
| tate the question OF 10y atty wherever traitor

claim his treason. Let our friends renem-
Der that error cannot Withstand agitation, and
that modern democracy always fails when
