A Voice from Richmond on the Flee.
fiEnS

The Richmond Times is so decidedly
entertaining on the late election, that
we cannot iorbear quoting what il
says: ...... ID.
"With the exception of the unex-
perted gains i'm Baltimore, our gloom
lest anticipations with reference to the
results of the elections on Tuesday.
have been more than realized. The
wave Of radicalism rolls OH almost I'M
broken, and the noble Efforts of the
city OF New York to rescue the Empire
State have been unsuccessful. These
results have surprised none among us
but that class OF sanguine gentlemen
VINO were constantly predicting mira
Giles for the salvation of the Southern
trafeieracy duriug the darkest hours
of its Grief history. In what way the
I'D Gals viii abuse the vast bowers
which they now possess, it is as vet
impossible to conjecture. They NAV
either insist upon the adoption Of the
constitutional AmeudmCnt' as the
measure of our humiliation, or they
may discard IL, and demand something
still moro degrading at our hands.
From the pI G sent temper of the North
ern masses, aud from the enormous ma
iorities given in every instance 10 such
monsters OF radical dcpravity as But
Ter and Stevens, they appear ready to
approve the most oppressive acts. 1t

us. They have been swept away like

ain the presence of this huge, resist
less, and merciless party, what shall
the South do? Experience has taught
us that we can gain nothing by truck
ling submission, neither can we weak
en- our enemies by loud and incessant
denunciations. But one course is now
open to US which is consistent with
both honor and dignity. We can re.
fuse to be made parties to the schemes
which have been devised for our degra-
dation. We can thus preserve that
honor which defeat could not take
from us, and trust to tile healing influ-
ences Of time and better counsels.
But come what may, the Southern
people should enter into no covenant
or terms which will brand them with
dishonor p They are now faithfully
obeying the laws and the Constitution
of the United States. They will do
nothing more"

FRIDAY. NOV. 30. 1860.
THANKSGIVING.

We elsewhere publish. the Proelama-
ton of Gov. Stone, calling upon us all
to give thanks on Thursday next. And
we all propose to do so. The whole
country is united on this one day, for
"eating turkey" and praising the Lord
together. And never was there more
occasion for general thanksgiving and
Jubilee in our land. Despite all threat
.sning shadows, the sunshine of peace
is upon us, and our gamers are filed
with plenty. After years of terrible
war, the Lord hath brought us forth
s'a.into large place" and with a.grand-
lylunited and loyal public sentiment,
all hearts are buoyant with hope.
(. Even the political combination that
has been defeated in the recent cleo
ton, must feel grateful as well as sore
over the result. The American people,
by the grace of God free and independ-
cnt, have decreed with great unanimity
that all the inhabitants of the land
shall be free, enjoying the full rights of
freemen. Not even the most inveter
ate southern sympathizer believes in
his heart, that the elevation of the col.
ored race, and the humiliation of reb-
81 leaders, as decreed by the people, is
going to do us or our country any seri-
Gus harm. On the other hand, most of
us think that these are truly phi!an-
,thropic and patriotic Developments,
which add not only to the present glo.
~, but to the Frightening prospects of
our happy land. ....a. .a... r.
= Let us all then, with joyous heart,
respond to the Governors reccomenda-
ton, and hold one grand Thanksgiv-
ing Festival, the wide land over. Go
to the house of God; go TO the festal
board. Let no voice be missing from
the grand pecan of praise! ...-..t

There will be two or three seats, now
claimed by Democrats, contested by
Republicans, which may increase the
Republican column to that extent.
Connecticut, California, Kentucky
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and
Tennessee, choosing twentynine mem
bers, are yet to elect. OF these, the
Republicans will undoubtedly carry
the four Connecticut districts, three in
California, three in New Hampshire,
two in Rhode Island, at least two out Of
nine in Kentucky, and four out OF
eight in Tennessee. III this estimate is
correct, it will add Is to the Republican

to 46 Democrats. ..>
The Senate Of the next Congress is
also sure of gaining two or. three Re

seen that the i@ortieth Congress will be
even more decidedly Republican than
the Thirty-ninth; and hence the
President will be utterly powerless for
