Hang out your banner on the outer walls
The cry is s'still they comet
The long looked-for hour Of Southern re-
emptiou draws nigh. Let the sea make
oise. Let the foods clap their hands, and
ct the hills be joyful together. The back
zone Of demagogueism is broken. I'm
,eachment" is hurled forever from sight and
nay be dismissed from
bought az though it never had been aa-
;ated. -.--,.....,~-,.s. sssaz=
The elections settle another thing, COM
plete and FINAL. No Northern State will
aver vote in favor Of negro suffrage. Ohio
was counted upon with certainty to do this.
Even Mr.. Chase made the most confident
predictions that she would adopt the amend !
ment by $4,000 majority whereas the
the Buckeye State has repudiated the dog
ma by aatill heavier vote. /
II is impossible to tell you on paper OF
the chagrin Of the dominant (but too soon
to be destroyed party over the results OF
Tuesday. They are both amazed and pet
ri6ed. Not one Of the USUALLY blatant in
dividuals have I heard open their mouth at
all upon the subject. Can it be dreamf
they ponder. Can it be that which seemed
all potent and powerful yesterday is but the
base fabric of vision. @
On Monday, the leading spirits OF the
Republican party were all joyous, and the
impeachment horse was ridden ct 23O
pace. A joint resolution had already been
prepared, to be offered the "frst day Of the
session." suapending "high officers guilty
of misdemeanor," from the exercise OF their
functions and the Executive, ifhe dared
kick against any Of the congressional prlcks
was to not only be hurled from power, but
hung upon the FIRST lamp post! ~
"Give US Ohio" shouted the fanatics and
we will do this. "Pennsylvania we may
lose, but with Ohio to back US up with q
Republican triumph and negro suffrage, we
shall feel strong enough to 80 to any lengths
in the perpetuation Of our power
But. Ohio was lost. Her former Radl-
cal majority Of 10000 was swept away as
so much chaff, and the Buckeye took in
slant rank among the real defenders OF the
Union
So, too, with Pennsylvania. There were
doubts, on the part of the RAIDS, that sh'
might 60 over to the Democratic enemy
but still the hope was entertained that tn
keystone would remain true to her Rad
icals colors.
But not 30; those colors in which OBJ
had in an evil moment wrapped herself
were shaken from her arch, and the key
stone of the Union" was once more re
deemed! H#
