Glorious Results of the Elections.
Reconstruction at the North

/ NEW lORK has spoken the verdict Of her
/ tour millions ofwhitr people upon the
! Internal policy Of the Jarohin t'cs,ructivcs,
| ny giving Democratic majority OF between
forty and fifty thousand. NJ we rrcdo,cd.
Although tho State ticket has this immense
majority, the rillainous gcrrymandcring OF
districts by which the reckless Jaco6ins
have sought to pcrpctuatc their power, has
enabled them to elect about half Of the 80
slate Senators, the majority in that body
hcing IN doubt; but in the Assembly the
Democratic have majority of about Il
Ho1en, which gives us II good majority on
joint ballot.
NEW JEnSEY responded with about 49,
0OO Democratic majority and both branches
Of It's legislature largely Democratic.
MARrhANp joins in The chorus with a
Democratic majority Of between 80 and
a0,0oO and scarcely q single State or local
oiilccr elected i'll opposition.
MASsAciuSErTS, the mother Of Puritan-
ism and OF almost all the mischief that has
afflicted our devoted land, seems starrcrcd
at the horror wrought by her own evil
couns"l$ and conduct during the past rcw
dreadful years, and reduces her sixty
thousand Jacobin majority Of last year TO
about twenty thousand, while tho Demo.

MicnlGAN.- The mcncro returns vet re.

Democratic gains that kept up through
out the state, will range her in Democratic
lines. Detroit, her chief city, astounds the
J"c!hins by c!cciing "Copporhcad" May
or, Tor the first time in many years.
Ml.;NEsorA.- rhc few returns received
render il probable that tho Democrats have
carried the State, and altogether certain
thnt' IT they have not, tho former large
Jacob'n majority is ciphcrcd down to
very small figure.
WISCONSIN, Returns show largo Demo-
cratic gains, but whether enough TO over.
come the Jncohin majority Of ten thousand
last year, is not YET known
ILLINOIS Tho returns Of thc local cleo
non" throughout this States indicate n light
vote, and little general interest, as no State
or important Offices were to be elected, but
lhcrc IS no doubt that the aggregate Of tho
counties will give ample assurance OF tho
electoral vote of thnt great Western Sthtc
Tor constitutional President next yoar.
MisSorni.-- County clcstions show
great Democratic gains. The Democrats

majority.
kAN&As defeats Tho negro and women
suffrage proposition by sweeping mnjoriics,
ahd shows almost enough Democratic gains,
so thrns yet heard from. TO range her on
tho right side.
In those ten States, moulding almost
half the white population Of tho entire
country, it will be seen that the Democrats
have madc gains Of several hundred thou
sands over last year and have now an i'm
mcnsc aggregate majority Of The popular
vote. Truly the days of ,Jacobinism are
numbered, and the dny Of redemption draw
n'h nigh for our oppressed brethren for the
South.
We have not space for comment, rs we
have delayed our paper day for The pur
pose OF giving the election returns, and
have barely time aud space to note them
briefly. "Joy to the land and all the in
habtanis thereof"
Go tame the wild tempest, or stem with
straw
The snrgcs that sweep o'cr the strand that
confined thcm
liut 'hink moi again to give frccmcn law,
Nor think with tho chains they have broken
TO bind them!'
