A pemocrnlic VICTORY.

Tho Democratic victory in Maine consists
of twenty-four Republicans to seven Dem,
ocrats in the State Senate, and Republican
majority of more than two thirds in the
House, all the State offices and the eutire
delegation in Congross in the hands of the
Republicans, and q majority of about II ,00C
on the popular vote, The Portland Press
says that without any effort OF organization
they have carried the election by about
their average majority, There was no cam
paign, and no CANVASS. This does not
sound well for the Republicans of Maine
but it is queer Democratic victory tc
bring ont mummy roosters upon and keep
them standing for days. But this is tht
age of small Democratic expectations, Gin

TO-MORHlNY.

Tomorrow the Democracy Of this county
arc to meet at Bowling Green, to place
county ticket in the field. They have been
laboring hard for weeks in waiting and
watching" for something TO turn up" Well
aware OF the fact that they are in a hopeless
minority in the county, they have been on
the alert to take advantage of any dlssen.
sions in the Republican ranks. To this end
they have sought to bring out, what they are
pleased to term, " Peoples Ticket" TO be
composed of both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, hoping thereby to secure one or two
offices to their party, If nomore. Indeed, it
is a very nice little arrangement, for they
have nothing 10 lose by the operation.
What their success has been, we have
not the means Of knowing. All kinds of
rumors have reached our ears, but as
yet we do not believe they have found
single Republican willing to sacrifice
himself to their wishes. We don't believe
there ia Republican in the county silly
enough to tako such bait. Whatever
ticket they may get up in opposition to the
one now in the fold, it is doomed to an
overwhelming dofeat, and the Republican
who would suffer bis name to 60 on that
ticket may just write himself on the roll
of political suicides.

hon. GEORGE II. pENpLEroN.

This profound scholar and accomplished
gentleman, but bitter partisan aud intense
sympathiser with the rehellious element of
tho country, is advertised to address the
Democracy in Perrysburg, to-day, Mr..
PENDLEToN advocates what he calls the pay!
ment of the United States $50 bonds
in greenbacks, and he will undoubt
edly eluoidate his proposition to the entire
satisfaction, al least, Of all those who are
admirers Of VALLANpEaMAM, THURMAN g. Co
This proposal to pay tho national debt in
greenbacksr is only smother name for Repu
diation. Ii is not an openr simple refusal
to pay the debt, but a mean evasion of it's
obligations. And this is the doctrine
preached by Mr., PENpLEroN. We should
be glad indeed, to see our bonds retired at
the lowest possible rate of interest, but
every such arrangement must be made on
the basis Of the strictest observance of the
public faith. The credit of the nation is
its great safeguard in the time of war and
peril We cannot afford 20 tarnish our
honor and faith. But Mr.. PENpLEroN and
his colleagues discuss this matter in such a
way as TO show that they care nothing about
any pledge of Government faith. Their
appeals are to Self.mtercst aud TO the sordid
instincts Of the heart. But we do not be,
leve they can deceive and mislead the
American people thus, for it is apparent &c
the thinking aud intelligent that this green
back proposal and ell this talk Of taxes and
debt are only intended to pave the way tc
population and national dishonor.

There should be regularly organized
Union Club in every township throughout

learn that such Clubs are already organized,
aud in others they are forming. This is
right No more efficient organization for
the campaign could be desired. Indeed, we
have reason to know that the Union organ

portion Of the county, than it is in Porrys.

aud indifference exhibited on the part OF q
few who have hitherto imagined themselves
TO be the bone and sinew Of tho party, and
now they look aS though they we're expect
ing to sec the dissolution of that party, the
heavens fall, or somo other appalling
catastrophe, on account Of their lethargy.
What a surprise there is in store for them.
But we digress. Our only danger lies in
over confidence. We must work, steadily
perseveringly and unremittingIy, If we
would retain our supremacy in the county
and the State, aud keep our majorites un.

ganzation in every township, school district

The CongressionnI Majority,

The Democratic victory of one Congress,
man in California, aud the Republican gain
OF one Representative in Nebraska, will
leave the House with LAT Republican mem
bers to 46 Democratic. With more than
three,fcurths of each House of Congress
Republican, it will take many such Demo
cratic victories to disable the Republican
control OF legislation, or to make sufficient
Northern Democratic contingent for Mr.
Johnson's Southern Congress. And this
event, reminding the people what the part
is that has carried a Northern State, anC
showing them the gulf into which their
supineuess may plunge the country, will b,
likely to arouse an activity that will pre-
vent any spread of this Infection Cine in
