The delegations Of the remaining Northerr
nd border States are q follows:


The present Democratic strength in Con-
gress is ~, not including Mr.. Raymond,
WHOSE successor has been elected By . Dem.
ocratic voAe). Estimating from the States
which have voted, and the present delega
tions Of the remsining States, the Copperhead
strength will be the same. At most, il will
not hare gained beyond a, whilethe Radical
majority will be about 100.
A Radical gain Of four Senators must also
be taken into account. Two Of them have
lately been chosen, namely: tbs Hon. A.
u. Cattell Of New jersey, and the Hon. H.
w. Corbett Of Oregon. The new Legislature
of Pennsyivania has 70 elect Radical Sen.
ator in place Of Hon. Edgar Cowan, Demo.
GRAFT and that of New Jersey TO make the
same amends by supplying the vacancy caused
by the death Of the Hon. William Wright.
To these must be added the Hon. Cornelius
Cole Of California, in place Of Senator Jas
A. McDougal. Should Colorado be admit.
ted, two more Radical Senators will be gained
We have lost Senator in Maryland; 80 this
leaves our gain but four.
To recapitulate, the Senate stands at pres.
ent 3S Radicals, and 26 Democrats. Ii will
hereafter have AZ Radicals against % Demo
Gratis, even should the Maryland Legislature
elect Gov. Swami to succeed Senator Cress-
well. The present House stands 40 Radi.
Gals against A Democrats. As reconstruct
ed, the House will have l41 Radieals to AZ
Democrats. At most, the proportion OF Dem
ocrats and Republicans will be about the
same. As will be seen, the gain of the late
elections is substantially in the Senate.
This is loyal peoples verdict upon the
detection of President, and a demand that
reasonable Democracy be permitted 70
rule.
One Of the elements that entered into the
contest so gloriously closed, is indicated by
the election of Morrissey in New York. Viz.
tue and intelligence are claimed Is the life of
Republics. 1t is to party that claims such
adherents as Morrissey's constituency tina.
Andrew johnson has appealed for support,
and made the repository of his official trusts
Who elected Morrissey2 The Cincinnati
Times answers:
l. Those who can't read.
2. The blacklegs.
8. The cut.throats.
4. The patrons of Five Points.
s. The people Of Five Points.
6. The rebels.
Z. The ympathizers with rebels.
8. The liquor sellers.
9. Most Of the drunkards.
10. The thieves and burglars.
II. Some decent but misguided people.
The facts prove the justice Of analysis.
There are ten copies OF Union papers taken
in that city TO one Democratic, which shows
which is the reading party, and at the same
time the proportion Of Democrats u over two
to one, or as 79,00O TO SO .O00i The charac,
ter Of the localities whore the stronesst Dem
ocratic majorities are found, shows that near
~ all the rascally population Of that rascalIy
city . re Democrats. We very much dislike
to speak of these facts, because Of the re
spect We have for the decent portion Of that
party. They are ~ much ashamed Of the
crowd As We are, and We can only say OF
them that they are unfortunate, and We hope
that they will come out from among the foul
party, and throw their influence on the side
of morsfty and civilization.
