Wednesday Morning, Nov. l3.
THE LATE NORTHERN ELECTIONS.

Elections were held in eight States last week,
and the returns indicate large increase in the
Democratic vote throughout The entire eight. The
great State of New York, which last year gave a
Republican majority of nearly $4,000, has gone
Democratic BY 10000 votes. In the Legislature
the Democrats have majority on Joint ballot, and
this will elect United States Senator this winter
Returns from New Jersey show Il, 900 Democratic
majority, and sixteen majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature Maryland gives 81, 900 majority,
and every Office is filed BY Democrat. The re-
turns from Wisconsin, Minnesota and Massachu
sets show large decrease in the Republican ma
jorities. Negro suffrage has been defeated Kan
sas and Minnesota by decided majorities. In
Massachusetts,, the contest was especially vigorous.
The Republican majority in that State last year
was over $4,000, and Lit has been reduced to scarce
3ty q, 900. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, the grandson Of
the President of that name, was the standard
bearer of the Democracy for Governor, and dealt
Radicalism heavy blows on every hand. He is de-
feated for Governor but is elected representative
in the Legislature. In Missouri, jas. 6. McCor-
mick, (Dem.) succeeds Noel; (Rep in the lower
HouseroRCongress.
This comprises the substance of the ret rms, so
far received. The result is likely be changed
BY subsequent reports.
Truly, lights breaking, aud, the long promised
reaction has at length taken definite shape. But
ne would admonish our people, once again. to be
calm and selfpessessed. In all probability, the
darkness by which we are now surrounded will
continue for an indefinite PERIOD and the troubles
and annoyances Of the past two years may again
tester the body polite. 1t becomes our duty under
theae, trying circumstances to patiently bide the
! Sour from whence dsiiverance springs, and reso.
lutely forbear indulgence in vain hopes or unprot-
table longings
If this grand reaction in the Northern mind has
Any meaning, there is but one construction. The
Radical party is rebuked and discountenanced, and
the masses of the North are steadily "faing into
lne' against the wild schemes and turbulent policy
Of thas party. Their condemnation does not cease
here. The people, in their might, are declaring
that this is WHITE MANS GOVERNMENT, and that
negro domination will not be allowed. Such is
, our conception of the result disclosed by the re-
cent elections. Though the near future be filled
with gloom, and the prospect hdeous md rcpnlsve,
let US not be entirely hopeless. With fortitude,
courage and patience, the whites of the South may
confidently rely upon their deliverapce from ty
1anny and oppression, ignorance and misrule.

the Government, is disaster from which,
under the, most favorable circumstances, it
will require years to recover. Add to
this .she policy which the Reconstruction
Acts propose to enforce, and you place
the South, politically and socially, under
the heel of the negro; these influences
combined would drag 10 hopeless rum
the most prosperous community IN the
world. What do tbese Reconstruction
Acts propose? Not NEGRO equality, merely,
but negro supremacy. In the name, then,
of humanity to both raccs-ln the name ot
citizenship under the CONSTITUTIONAL the
name of common history in the past-in
the name of our Anglo-Saxon race and
blood-in the name of the civilization of
the nineteenth century-in the. name of
lnagnanimity and the noble instincts of
rnanhood-in the name of God and nature,
we protest.against these Acts, as destruc-
tive to the peace of society, the prosperity
of the country andthe greatness and gran
deur of our common future.
: The people of the South are powerless
to avert the impending ruin. We have
been oycrborne and the responsibility to
posterity and to the world has passed into
other hands.

THE PURPOSE OF THE RADICALS.

In ON editorial last week, we endeavored to give
sn outline of the Radical programme for the Prcsi
dency, and expressed the opinion that The leaders
Of. that party were not diemayed at the result Of
their overthrow in Northern States, since their
newly squirrel power in the unreconstructcd
States amply compensated for their losses in the
recent elections. Thisis sustained by the follow
ing extract, ,froIa recent letter of the Washington
correspondent of the Charleston Courier. That in
.elligcnt and well-informed correspondent says:
~ IC is admitted by the Radical politicians and
leaders and followers, that the supremacy OF the
freedmen and OF their few white allies. has been
established in all the Southern States, and that the
political power. thus created, is now their chief re-
lance for the permanent possession of the Federal
Government: with MI It's c7noiumcnts and its ia
eilities for thieving from the pablic treasury
We're il doubtful question, whether the Radical
paTty will be sustained by the now again united
States of the South, their leaders would be less
bold, presumptuous and despotic. But, as it is.
in defiance of the bitter feeling manifested by the
popular elections in the North, they will pursue
their mad and infamous career.
We are made certain that Congress will pursue
its insane policy towards the South, by the devel-
opment of the opinions and designs Of members
who are now here. They blame each other for not
having removed the President while they could
have done it, with some hope of Northern approval
They regret that they did not establish, in due
time, universal suffrage by force, in every State,
under the lead of Stevens and Sumner The latter
measures they will Immediately attempt but they
fear that the auntoward results of elections have
defeated it. They are, therefore. now consulting
upon the e1pedency of proposing uu amendment
10 tho Constitution for the purpose. They think
themselves secure of carrying the Africanized
States Of tho S0uth and nj the Northern States
that may be left 70 them after to-day's elections.
The. following paragraph from The New York
Herald also corroborates the views expressed in
this journal:
Erom all the signs of the times in the North, the
radicals will need. the support of the ten outside
Southern States in the Presidential election, and
it is altogether probable therefore that undcr the
present system CT reconstruction they will be hur-
ried through the mill and reinstained in Congress
m season to vote for President next November
The late Southern elections make this the safe
policy, it is thought, for the, radicals, and they
begin to perceive that further delays may be dan

GRANT AVID TIE PRESIDENCY.

FonxEY, the irrcprcssble, having made the
statement that General GRANT is in harmony with
the Radical party, here is great noise in the
camp of the Phillisines. Some deny and others
reitcrac the declarations of '.Ihc irreprcssiblc," "
and all of them upon The authority of GRANT him.
SELF This state of things befogs the position of
the General to such an extent, that the various
wings of the party are algnng Themselves for and
against him. From all appearances, however, he
is likely TO fall upon the side of The ultra school.
We earnestly hope that he will 'setle' soon, as
this everlasting buzzing about, like 4 swarm of
bees is annoying GnEELgY's Tribune, in an article
strongly advocating CHASE and deprccatve of
GRANT, says:
General Grant we esteem by means great
man, even very great General. The war
being over cannot carry elections by reading
bulletins of Union victories and exhorting the pco-
plco "rally round the flag and those who are
pushing General Grant for President will land just
where the Wings did with Scott in 1852, if they
are allowed to have their own way. They utterly
mistake the time of day"
