| From the New York Demokrat German RADICAL
| The republicans have been defeated by Them
1 selves, and that the victory OF the democracy Is
| another milestone on the road of reaction, which
1
4 1867 have generally followed. We have on q pre-
| vious occasion alluded to the character of this
general reaction, which, since the fall cleo
| tons, has manifested itself against the
| views of the more progressive portion
f. Of the Union party: have said that this reac-
| ton is simply based on the commonest prejudice
Of race, in other words the cause of it is the
/ question of negro suffrage and equality; ana the
| victory of the democracy in the State OF New
York confirms this view The republican party
has been defeated by those republicans whose

and we are convinced that with the greater part
of the German republicans, who during the late
election directly indirectly went against their
party, their opposition was grounded on prejudice
Of race and that the notorious liquor and Sunday

Specuintions on the Probable Fate Of the

The Ne,c Yorker Journal German DEMOCRACY
| SAYS
The democratic victory nsthis State is more
sweeping than at first it was believed. The
majority for Secretary of State will probably
reach forty thousand The Legislature is nearly
democratic. In the Senate are fifteen democrats
and seventeen republicans; in the Assembly the
democrats have majority OF fourteen. Under
| these circumstances it ia probable that two or
three of the republicans Senators will come to
reason, and then an attempt to repeal the infa-
nous Excise law could be made already in
l
can prevent this by his veto; but, perhaps,
the voice OF the people, so clearly outspoken,
| will not be without influence even on him.
Another favorable result will probably follow
from this composition of the Legislature. The
Constitutional Convention will have to abandon its
| project to reassemble to complete its radical
work. They would require the consent OF the Leg
| slature, as their work according to law ought to
have been completed before the election. IL Is GER
! tain that all democratic Legislators will protest
| and demand that the Convention be dissolved. On

twelve in the Legislature. As the democratic
majority in the Assembly will probably increase
next year, it is rather certain that democratic
Senator will be elected in place OF Morgan.

| Judge Woodward the Situation.
| On his return from Europe, Judge George w.
Woodward was publicly received at wilkesbarre,
| October %. IL will be remembered that Judge
Woodward was nominated, during his absence and
without his knowledge, to fill the vacancy in the
about seven hundred majority. In reply to a con-
gratulatory address, Judge Woodward delivered a
| speech in the course of which he said -
Whilst may well distrust my ability to serve
/ you acceptably, can be at no loss about the
! course you would have me pursue. The restora-
| ton of the discovered States to their places in the
/ federal Union tho committing suffrage, and all
| other local and domestic questions which the con-
stitution does not expressly control, to the free
and unconstrained action of the several States the
| strict subordnation OF the military to the
civil power of the country; the admission into
| the two houses of Congress Of such loyal white
| representatives the States may send by due
exercise Of the suffrage, uncontrolled by federal

constitutional currency Of gold and silver at the
earliest day the business Of the country will bear

such basis that public credit may be strength
ened, revenue increased and taxation lightencd--
the revival of trade, industry and commerce
throughout our whole country, and to this end the
cultivation OF q ffaternal spirit OF amity and con-
cord between the States and the people Of the
States---these were the great objects for which
my predecessor longed and toed and suffered,
and which ii will be my duty as IL will certainly be
my pleasure TO promote. And, my fellow citizens
