TIse Triumph in Lancaster

The result Of.the election in this city
yesterday Feb. 8, J must be exceedingly
gratifying to every right thinking, con-
serVative man in Lancaster. An en-
dorsement of Thaddeus Stevens and Of
his ruinous policy was sought. His
friends threw all their energies into the
canvass. They fairly dragged Mr.. Liv-
ingStOn before the people, because they
believed he could secure some Demo
cratic votes through his personal popu-
larity. They raised Il large fund Of
m0neyand used il tmoSt unscrupulOuSly.
No slaudcr was too vile for them to Ut
ter through the columns Of the Erpfe%S
against the Democratic candidates.
They resOrted To every known or con-
ceivable device to carry this good old
Democratic city. They We're perfectly
confident Of success. Neither Mr.. Liv-
ingston nor his friends would believe
he could be beaten until the day Of elec-
ton. \ few hours trial OF the temper
of the Democracy was sufficient, how
ever, to satisfy them that they were in
for such a fight a. they had not seen
made for years. They found the DEM
0cratS more resolute and determined, if
possible than ever they saw them be-
fore. In vain had they declared the
Democratic party dead. Here it stood
confronting them as proudly, as def
antIy and a, re-olutely a. ever before.
1t showed it, former spirit and exhibit
edthesame ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for which
ii has ever been noted. Yesterdays
work convinced every Republican in
Lancaster city that the Democratic par
" Is still living reality. They found
itfully prepared to meet the vital issues
Of the present day. The energy dis
played by yesterdays election will
mark the contest which will commence
with the nOiIination Of candidate for
Governor on the fifth Of March next.
We give our opponents fair warning
that we intend to elect a Democratic
Governor next fall aud to turn out the
radical members OF Congress who voted
for negro suffrage. We shall go into
the fight fully determined to win, and
with Il confident reliance on the good
sense, the honesty, the patriotism and
the just pride Of race characteriZes the
white men Of Pennsylvania. -L0ac0s-

On Thursday | telegraphed you that
there was little doubt but what the
President would return the Freedmen's

up before a full meeting of the Cabinet
when Mr.. Johnson, it is said, did not
hesitate in his usual calm and decisive
manner to assert that he should "return

dorSed his position, but a majority of
the members, it is asserted. opposed it,
urging thai the bill be signed a. il
stood. But the President was immo-
vable, and the meeting, which lasted
the best part of the day, broke up with
a distinct understanding from the
chief of the council board that he should
veto the bill.
The objections Of the President are
said to be wholly constitutional. and
they will undoubtedly be brought to
bear upon all the acts OF Congress tend
ing TO work iniuriouSiy upon thcSouth.
