The Drift.

In political sense, the drift OF mltters Is
changing, A few.weeks ago, the Munic-
ipal elections in Pennsylvania indicated
such change in public sentiment there, as
to render it certain that the Democrats will
carry the State the coming fall. IT the
Democrats have not elected their candi-
date for Governor in Connecticut they are
beaten but by very small majority. Last
spring, the Republicans carried the State
by majority of oUeR eIeuen thousand. The
Drift there is strongly with the President
and the Democracy. At the Municipal
elections In Indiana on Monday, the DEM
ocrats made large gains everywhere. The
Drift indicates the success of their State
Ticket. In Ohio, the Democratic gains at
the Municipal elections have generally been
all that could be desired. The Drift indi-
Gates a bright future for the Democracy
even here in Republican ridden Ohio.
Courage, Democrats A little more hard
work, and the Revolutionists will be con-
signed to political oblivion.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1866-04-04
CnIIed for a.AOO NIsforIty.

The Nev York Tribune called upon the
voters of Connecticut to give General HAw-
LEY not less than 2,4OO majority, and it was
very sure the majority would not tall below
these figures. The mere success of party it
did not want; but it wanted "a decisive
success-permanent all-embracing." 1t
wanted greater vote than the State ever
gave. 1t wanted, in short, such victory
as would serve as a backbone stiffner to
conservatively inclined Republican mem
bers in Congress, and as would hurl at the
President crushing rebuke. Well, the
Tribuae's expectations or desires have not
been gratifed. If the Republican candi-
date for Governor in Connecticut can count
even a beggarly majority in that strong
hold of Republicansm and Radicalism, he
and his friends will have cause for great
qualification.

They Sustained the Flag.

With the view of upholding the Radicals
in Congress in their revolutionary course,
and arraying the people against the Presi-
dent, the Radical journals declare that they
are the party that upheld the Flag in the
late terrible civil war. If they did
uphold the Flag, that does not sane
tify their revolutionary course now,
any more than the fact that JEFF.
DAVIS and BEAUREGARD had gallantly
upheld the Flag in the Mexican War justi-
fed them in engaging in war to take cer-
tain States out of the Union. Past meri-
torious conduct is no justification for vii
lainous conduct now.

The RIght WAY 20 do u.

It is announced, that by authority, all
Government patronage is hereafter to be
withheld from the Washington Chronicle and
given to the W WdshiRgt1H Republican, an earn
est supporter of President JOHNSON. The
matter Is not to stop here. Government
patronage that is given to newspapers is
soon to be given to those journals that sup
port the Presidents policy. 1t will not lie
long while before the office-holders will
have to be men who support that policy.
Only Ia this way can the President make
his influence felt so as to produce the re-
suit he desires.
