Significant.

1t cannot have escaped observation that
in late municipal elections held over the
country the maiorities in Republican dis
tricts were woefully reduced, whilst in fine
old Democrat counties, our majorties rolled
up beautiful fashion The inference is evi-
dent. The imported vote which in general
elections the Administration throws in the
scale was missing, and the sentiment Of the
people was obtained. This fact demon
strates that it is folly to be discouraged by
the results fraudulcntly achived in State
elections hitherto held, by the Republi-
cans. 1t shows at hart the nation is sound
it is Democratic to the core: Only give US Il
shadow Of fair play and we will absolutely
annihlate the radicals at the ballot box

Many of the shrewd Republicans are
making strong efforts to have their conven-
ton to nominate President postponed till
August or September. At present the
chances are altogether in favor Of Lincoln
nomination if the convention is held on the
7th of June which is the time that has been
appointed. The cool-headed leaders OF
that party see that he will be heavy load
to carry, and many of their patriotic men
toreseeng that large army will be kept VI
for many years, wish to avoid the danger,
Gus example OF allowing President, witt
an army at his beck and millions of patron
age at his command, to retain possession ot
his Office beyond the period such thina
would have been possible except with the
aid of soldiers and patronage Mc,oarl

A Sister Of Mrs. Lincoln Carry
iraG Rebel LETTERS Under Old


The Eastern papers having noted that
Mrs. LINCoLN's $ sister left Washington for
Richmond, the New York World explains
it thus
Mrs. j. Todd White, sister of Mrs.
President Lincoln, was rebel spy and
sympathizcr When she passed into the
Coniederacy few days ago, by way Of For
trunks all kinds Of contraband goods, to-
gether with medicines, papers, letters, &c,
which will be doubtless Of the greatest as
siotancc to those with whom she consorts
When General Butler wished TO open her
trunks, as the regulations Of transit there
prescribe, this woman showed him an au-
tograph pass or order from President Lin
coin enjoining upon the Federal officers not
to open any of her trunks, and not subject
the bearer Of the pass, her packages, par
GELS, or trunks to any inspection or annoy
ancc Mrs White said to General Butler,
or the officers in charge there, in substance
as follows: My trunks are filed with con-
traband but / defy you to touch them.
Here (pushing it under their noses, here
is the positive order of your master"
Mrs. White WAS thus allowed to pass
without the inspection and annoyonce so
peremptorly forbidden by President Lin
coin in an order written and signed by his
own hand, and to-day the contents of his
wife's sisters trunks are giving aid and
comfort to the enemy-nor least in the
shock which these facts will give to the 10y
al hearts whose hopes and prayers and Ia
bors sustain the cause which is thus betray-

The Crawford County Eo,9un of Friday
says:
The result of the election in Bucyrus and

glorious triumph-a complete yindication

rushing the country to destruction.
The result in this town and township
shows that the majority for Mayor and
Councimen is l20-a gain Of about 90 III

township the gain is in about the same pro-
portion. Vallandigham' 5 majority last fall
was 3S, while our majority now is from 9S

Is in Jackson there was no opposition (;
Milestone increased her majority, as also
did Holmes; in Chatield there was no op-

time.

Lives there man with soul so dead

I'd rather be a coppcrhcad
Or dead Tom Cat on some woodshed,
Than an abolitionist or Loyal Lacquer, too

THE FRUrr.--It is now pretty well as
certaned that the two weeks of severe frost
and cold weather about New Years, almost
entirely destroyed the peach buds, and
many of the apples cherries, plums and
others, but we are assured that though the
apples, pears and cherries suffered much by
the frost, yet enough remains in some To-
calities to warrant us in saying that an aver
age crop will after all be raised, OF course
in some orchards all the fruit is killed,
but generally we can expect some fruit at
least

The Chesapeake Affair,

The d., it is said is not so black as he is
painted, and Halifax, which is sometimes mem
toned as the dubious alternate of another eel
ebrated locaity,-yenomou as many of her
people have shown themselves, has yet some
good and vrtuous men within her walls. And
these at the instance of the Hon. J ohm Tobin,
NJ. +. p, have prepared an address OF thanks
and congratulation to President Lincoln for
his greatActof Emancipation. Ithas already re-
ceiyed more than one hundred signatures, and
Will receive many more. Mr.. Tohin who is
one of the first merchants OF Halifax, has pub
lished an eloquent letter in a city paper full of
sympathy for the Union men and their great
cause.
Or. Almon, who aided in the escape Of the
racy, is coming to grief The night the Ches-
apeake was brought into the harbor he was at
dinner party at the Governors.
AT dinner party given in the city few
evenings since, General Doyle, the Governor
refused to attend in company with DR.. Almon
the invitation.
The more respectable people of Halifax as
sert that the ill-feeling in that city towards
the North, is to be accounted for in part by
the character not less than blythe attitude ofthe
late U. S. Consul, Albert Pillsbury. He has
been intensely southern in his feelings and ex-
pressions, has been in the interest of the Sc
eesh, and has left no opportunity for traducing
his native land pass unemployed-but this has
not harmed the United States so much as the
fact that IL sent such man as Pitisbury to be
| its represeatdtice-for he has the respect Of
nobody, not even of the pirate sympathizers,
who regard him as too low to be associated
with. His son Charles is the editor of a
wrctched newspaper, the organ of renegades
and pirates.
| 1t is of him that the editor Of the "Sun'
uses the following language:
| But let US not be thrust prematurely into o
strife, from which the victor must arise all bnt
dead, by any alien or renegade Yankee, whose
| hatred to his native land but increases with
his abuse of it, The great State of Maine, up
on our borders, sends many of her gallant sous
to the battlefield, but even her loyal breast
has sucked traitors who would stabhe TO the
| heart.
'.Dreathcs there maa with soul 40 dead
Who never to himself has said,
This is my own--my native land"
We envy not the man who, turning his back
upon the land that gave him birth, would il
he had the power, turn its fair fields into a
reeking Acedelma.
Sidce writing the above, we have been in
formed on what We regard as good authority,
that the Chesapeake is to be given up, goods
and all, to the owners.
