THE ELECTIONS.

election in California had resulted in
the success of the whole Democratic
ticket by eight Thousand majority
Subsequent returns prove that this rs
too low-ten to twelve thousand be-
ing nearer the true figures, 1t is now
ascertaiDed beyond q peradyenture
that the. Democrats have elected all
the State officers, all the members of
Congress. and good working major
ity of the State Legislature. San
Francisco gives q Democratic majority
of over 1000. The following tele-
graphic dispatch gives some idea as
to how the State stands:

above returns the Democrats of Al
bany met at the Court House last Sat
urday evening, and were addressed
by Hon. Geo. II. Helm and Sheriff
Smith. We were absent in the south
ern part of the county at the time
but we are told that the speeches were
good, and the meeting very jubilant
and enthusiastic. Some considerable
powder also was burnt, and the Al
bany Brass Band discoursed some of
their most melodious strains on the
occasion,
This election is one of the greatest
political triumphs on record and as
such should inspire the hearts of the
Democracy with renewed hope, and
zeal, and courage. The Radical press
are trying to convince the public that
this victory is the result of split in
their ranks, But this will not do
The Radicals were united from Con-
gressmen down; and thereis but little
difference in the vote for Congressman
and Governor. When all the facts are
fully presented it will be clear as the
noon day sun that the Democratic VIC
tory in California is mainly attributa-
bic to revolution in public senti-
ment. And this change is not confin-
ed to our neighboring State. A late
telegram announces great changes in
another State. Read the following ::
PORTLAND, (Maine) Sept 9.-Returns from the
election in sixteen towns give Chamberlain (Rep.
| S,0s9. Pillsbury DEM 5,639; CombeFlain's ma
| jority 2,450. The same towns last year gave
n
ocratic gain of 1859. Biddeford gives 4 Demo-
cratic majority Of 240. against 90 Of last year.
| LATER-109 towns give Chamberlain Rep 27,-
| us, PiIlsbury 1858. The same towns last year
gave Chamberlain 81 $50, Pillsbury 1865. Cham
berlain's majority this year Is s033, against I5-
/ 0s9 In the same towns last year. making Repub-
lican loss Of 9,053. The aggregate in these towns
was 43 ,39s, against 1925 last year. The total
vote Of the State last year 1l5,840; this year
it will probably fall little under 100, ,0O0 Seven
tenths Of the State are in, with a loss Of nine
ffteenths Of the majority Of last year. The same
rates will reduce the Republican majority to about
| $500, or a loss Of about 400. The Democrats
will gain Representatives In some towns but not
enough to give them mu ,h power in the Legisla-
ture.
The ball has commenced rolling
and from this time forward changes
against Radicalism and in favor OF
Democratic principles will be the
standing order Of the day. The con-
servative, candid and honest men CT
the country do not endorse negro suf
frage and negro equality. They do
not endorse the tyrannical enactments
of a corrupt Congress; nor do they
believe it right and just that the rich
'bondholder should be exempt from
taxation. Hence a revolution In pub
lie opinion has been inaugurated
which is destined to sweep all over the
entire country, turning the Destruc,
tionists out of power and placing the
Government in the hands of the Dem.
ocFacy of the country.
