rHR LATE ELECTIONS.

~ ,a THR LATE ELECTIONS.
The State and Municipal elections of Mon
day last demonstrate one fact which must be
very cheering to all loyal men. On the proof
Of these elections it IS safe to say that Cop
perheadism is at least one thousand per cent
weaker to-day than orc month ago. The
dispioable leaders Of party-nay clique
lin opposition to the Government labor
ed under the infatuation that the Demo-
cratic Party was ut their heels, and that day
by day they were adding new converts to
their REASONABLE ranks. They became flush
ed and bold with the hopo of success and
in an hour when they thought not they sud-
denly find themselves overwhelmed in igno-
miny and disgrace-thcir cherished hopes
dashed in fragments on the firm rock of 10y
atty. No truer words were ever spoken than
those Of Gen. Butler in his recent great
speech in New York when he said, no man
who opposed his country in time Of war ev-
er prospered." And further" Let 40 poll
tician Of our day put himself in the way Of
the march Of this country to glory and great
ness, for whatsoever docs so will surely be
crushed" Though. tha Coppcrhead leaders
still try to encourage themselves and those
who act and have acted with them, TO con-
tinuc in their line Of opposition to the Gov
ernment, It is very evident that they are
much cast down, and the conviction firmly
settled that their power has gone forever
What of success the Coppcrhead faction have
attained in the past has been gained by dem
sgcgis0 and deception; those thus deceiv-
I'd begin now to see their nnprincipled lead
ers in their tauc charactcr-and seeing, turn
At once their backs upon them in utter alb
horrence. Ri dc Island, Connecticut-with
what thunder tones do the returns from these
States speak against these Northern traitors.
The result Of the municipal elections, are Of
much more importance at the present time
than usual, for in them we readily see the
great change wrought upon the political
complexion Of the country. The larger cit
les have been generally pretty largely reck-
oned upon by the Democracy, and when we
hear Of CINCINNATI, Cleveland, Indianapolis,
and St. Louis clecting by such handsome ma.
joritics thorough-going Union men We feel
assured that Copperheadsn can never sue.
ceed under the cloak Of Democracy. Louis
vile elected an ut,andout War Democrat
for Mayor. and even in such Copperhead
psst-holes as Dubuque and Detroit the I'm
ionists make large gains.
Union men have great cause for encour-
agelncnt; bu. We warn them not to consid.
der the battle won, but to continue their ex.
ertions with zcst undated. and never, never
remit their energy till every traitor is humbled
and the supremacy Of the Government fully
restored. ..
- Baicx " Pomcroy, editor Of the La Crosse
Democrat was recently elected by General
Prentiss from our lines for writing copper
head communications to his paper. He has
arrived safely at his home in Wisconsin, and
Is raving away as il all his "brck was in
his hat. Bricks" loyalty is no better than
his religion. lie is great wit, you know,
and is much given to writing jokes, espec-
tally in winter time, aud bad as these arc,
they do not begin to be as ridiculous as his
political dissertations, which he evidently in
tends Cor something sensible. Poor "Brick ~
he must be cracked, or else naturally very
soft. ..... .--.....

REBEL YANKEEs.-StIange as it may seem
there are some Yankees that arc rebels, and
their Yankee enterprise is artly set forth by
Psrson Brownlow when he says they jump
higher, fall flatter, and yell loudest Of all the
