California held an election last week,
where, owing to disunion among the Re.
publicans, the Cops slipped in. There was
a split in the Republican State Convention,
and two Republican candidates for Cover
nor was the consequence. The effect was
that great many Republicans did not go
to the election. The result shows to Repub-
licans the necessity of preserving harmony
and good feeling in the party. The Cop
perheads are rejoicing greatly over the re.
suit. AS the poor fellows have not had
much of that kind of news to cheer them
lately, except from rebel States, they are ra.
ther wild in their Civilizations. They had
better make the most of it, for it is likely
they will not have anything more of the
kind for O long time. sf.f.. g..

Republican Victories I'm %
MAINE q DELAWARE

An election was held in Vermont, on
Tuesday of last week, for Governor and
members of Legislature. The Republicans
swept every thing, leaving scarcely Cop
perhead for seed. The Senate is all Repub-
lican and the House nearly SO. The Cop
perhead candidate for Governor has some
scattering. votes, probably enough for him
to know that he was running.
MAINE.-An election was held in this old
Democratic State on Monday, and although
the vote was light, the Republicans have
carried it by decided majority. The g. ale
and cider law" operated to the detriment of
the Republicans, but the grand patriotic
principles of the party carried it through
gloriously. ..',... ..7
An election was held in Wilmington, Del
aware, on the Sd inst, for city officers, when
the whole Republican ticket was elected ex-
cept in one ward, where the Cops had the
meagre majority of 15. This looks we'll for
the future of the little State. .... rg
