We are happy 90 be able 10 say that
the spirits Of our people 10 not appear
at all depressed by the results of these
elections, They expected nothing else,
and are therefore not Disappointed
The indications are that tho Northern
sectional purity ms rather lost than
gained. 1t had already reached that
position ia which it had everything 10
fear, little to hope 1t could not expect
/ TO increase its power by new aeccssions
but had cause to apprehend the loss
cs and gliding away Of its strength
Radicalism may be said TO have attain
cd it's eliminating point, and hcncetor-
ward It's course viii be downward. .
The Richmond Enquirer, in a gloomy
and philosophic vein, says
"The great Democratic majority Of
New York city was overcome hy the
stu greater gains for the Radicals in
the counties Of the State, and victory
Ircmuins with tho latter,
In the Other States radicaliaa
ran Wild, except ia Delaware and Mary
land The STATE Of Butlu and Btnks
took the lead in thc extravaganza, both
in majority and by the election of sew
eral negroes to the legislature The
latter circumstance, indeed, was very
appropriate for Massachusetts,, end il
would have been still more happy and
fitting il She had elected none bat ne
grocs, both to her Legislature and 10
represent her in Congress.
What game the Radicals propose to
play with the peace and prosperity Of
the country now that they have cstab-
lishcd their sway for another Congress
ional term, we shall see soon enough
There is only one so'aco for the South;
Southern opposition is National weak
ness. Southern unrest isgeneral finaa-
cial disorder Southern prostration is
general disturbance and distress Mud
I'll the rosolutionsand pledgcsand oaths
to pay the public debit viii not avail to
establish the public credit SO long as
ten States are denied reconstruction
and their people neither entertained as
friends nor dismissed in amity as strain
gers, but held as enemies and diiigent-
" informed that they are SO regarded.
The people Of The North viii ye5 see
that such course SD fur from being
state5maulike, is the qui!ltessencc Of
folly. Meantime nothing remains for
the Southern people but to attend qui-
etly to their material Development.
Politically we need not trouble ourselves
with speculation or plans, OF prophe-
cios Eminantly applicable to oar case
i is the universal truth that sufficient mn
to the dry Is Tho evil thereof; rs Is also
the maxim that the duty Of life consists
in doing the duty that lies next 10 rs.
We need not now look beyond theprc5-
ent duty
The result Of tie elections ii Dele
ware and Maryland settles the defaa. cl
/ the Constitutional amendment The
oppressive measures embrayed in that
instrument will, therefore, if pat in
force, rest on no higher authority than
tho arbitrary viii, irregularly expressed,
Iof an intolefant faction, dominaus for
the time.
The Lynchburg yirginian thus CONF
ments upon the Legislative election Of
two ofom fellow citizens
Oar rcaders were advised by telc-
graph Yesterday that Massachusetts had
done herself the high honor Of sending
tNo eDlored men to her Legislature
She might have done still better and
constituted tie whole Legislature Of
gentlemen Of color As it Is, the two
unhappy gentlemenuho have been chos-
el may Be embarrassed by tie lack Of
suitable associatos They cannot haze
much respect for tile poor white trash
Iby which they vail BIZ surrounded
They may claim, also, that something
more ID due 10 The sentiment that is all-
peryading IN Massachusetts, than this
magre representation Of class for
whom white men ia the Old Bay State
are willing % cnslave and degrade tier
own race.
