From other States, the returns are roso-
hued, Maryland excepted. If, as seems to
be true, that State has been carried by rebel
votes, we suspect that Congress will admit
neither Senators nor Representatives on such
an election.
In New York, the city is as usual Demo-
cratic and the Democracy have put broad
mark on the character Of the party by elect
ing professional bruiser and gambler to
Congress. 1t is an insult to Congress that
may be resented.
In Massachusetts, the election Of two col
ored men to the Legislature, by the Republic
cans, is out of the usual course. We do not,
however, condemn the election Of colored
men. il they are fitted for and worthy Of the
office. An able, eloquent and pious coored
man (the then pastor Of the late Senator
Foot) we believe was once chaplain Of the
Legislature of Vermont, and we have never
heard that it hurt anybody. As proof that
the Republicans Of Massact usetts are in earn
est in their advocacy of impartial justice. the
election Of these men is good; but of course
it will be ridiculed by the Democracy as an
instance Of superservicable zeal.
