Down I'm the Mouth.

Notw'thst anding the recent election of the
Republican State ticket, the knowing Re
publicans feel no disposition to be in the lea st
jubilant over the resu IL. The reason is ob
vious. As they run the eye over the col
umns OF figures indicating the vote in the
different counties, and c,mpare these with
the numbers. rolled up by them in these
same localities one year ago, they see ter
rible ''fallIng Off in their vote. They kno W,
too, that as general thing, their voters
were at the.polls and they know that very
large part of the Democratic voters of the
State were not at the election; and while
they claim, the resul as a victory, they feel
that another such victory would almost an
nihilate them as party. In a few counties
where local divisions and disaffection IN the
Democratic'fanks have greatly reduced our
majorities, they affect to rel oce over the re-
suit. But even these rejnicings ARE not Tree
from fears and tremblIngs. In one thing
they have fouod themselves disappointed -
The soldiers vote which in the army they
could control at will, is no longer in their
power. These returned soldi.rs, at the late
election, did what many Of them had not
done while in the army-yoted as they
pleased. The result WIS that the mass of
them voted the Democratic ticket. Ia Pn,I-
sdelphia aud Allegheny coIntles alnne their
majonties were reduced nearly 5000, AID
this was IN great measure by the vote of
the returned soldiers NJ wonder Rrpubll-
canism is "down IN the rR,,uth" over its re-
cent triumph.-Danpilte Lteiligencer.

The Next CoNGR REsS The CHIC go. Re-

Four Sou hern States have elected UrioD

In the H. use there exists three vacancies in

The Late Election.

Only one week has passed away since the

referred to at all, .,ei,h.r4tn converse mn or
the newspapers. Il iss already we'd nigh
forgotten, and hut few seem = oscare about
the result. We have never known so much

rtj"hcs ov7r a victory Peraaps,stD viewsf
the dscordaut ele'nenrs which Compose the
Rel ubIican organization, and the probable
salagonlsn watch will break fbPsh ppf the
meeting of Congress, they are not sure but
tt at their triumph wnl be almost as damaging
in lis ,fftct upon their future prospects as
detest would have been at thus time. At all
events they are remarkably reticent of their
opinions, and the reasonable Inference is, that
the negr approach of a fatal schlsm in their
party falls like a wet blanket upon their
prospective hopes and aspirations.
On the other hand, The Democrats take
the defeat of their State ticket with great
camness and philosophical cump"sure.-
coming, and that the tlH,e is not far distant
when the great Constitutional principles on
which their party is based, and which cannot
be permanently destroyed, will again be in,
the ascendant 10 the State and in the Union,
and the reins Of government be seized and
held by the followers of Jefferson, of jackson
and of Polk. 1t is this conviction which
buoys their spirits up 1t is the strong and
abiding faith they have in tne al innate
triumph of truth and the right which cheers
them onward in The discharge of their duty,
amid the gloom Of temporary defeat, and
| induces them never TO despair ofithe Republic
but to labor on, and labor ever, in the good
old cause which raised our country 10 what
il is among the nations Of the earth, and
that sooner OF later will reassert its supre-
macy. For. .-s .&.. "a .t t.>
