The returns from the recent elec,
tions held in Ohio, Pennsylvania.
Connecticut, Iowa and Indiana in
dictate that the great tide of eonsti-
tutional restoration is sweeping with
irresistible force over the North.
In each of these states the Demo-
cratic gains have been overwhelm-
ing, not only in numbers, but to the
wild projects Of congressional Jaco-
bins. 1t is the rebuke Of all indis-
nant people to a rccreant Congress,
and admonishing that body that the
day is at hand, when with fear and
trembling, on Bonded knees i'm
ploring f~orgivncss, it must render up
an account of its stewardship.
The election days of 1867 will le
set down in the calendar Of the
Mongrcl party as the dawnlng of
the day Of wrath. In Ohio the dar-
ling scheme Of committing the dcs-
TIMES of the republic to the keeping
OF negroes, has been r~cpudiatcd by
over FORTY THOUSAND MAJORITY.
In Pennsylvania the people assert
the doctrine of equal taxation Of
rich and poor, according to the cx-
tent of their means, and against ex-
empting the bonds Of the rich while
taxing the labor Of the poor. At
the last election Ohio went rcpub-
lican by AZ, 600 and Pennsylvania
by over H., o00. Now the people
in the majesty Of their strength re-
puiiatc in Penn. the Stcvenscs Civ
ing the democracy a majority Of
over 5000, and in Ohio repudiating
the Wades by electing a Legislature
that will fill the seat of that recre-
ant senator with a true and devoted
patriot.
Such are some Of the lessons OF
the hour. The elections to occur in
November will still further demon
strate the deep carncstness and de-
termination Of the people in carry
ing out this great and peaceful po-
litioal revolution. Its meaning is
that the dcstinies of this republic
are again to be committed to the
keeping Of that party that for three
tourths Of century administered its
laws without directly taxing the
people one farthing for its support,
and without shedding one drop of
blood for political offences. 1t sig
nities that retrcnchment and econo-
my in the administration of the gov
crnmcnt must again be the rule, and
not the exception; that instead Of
an annual expenditure of $500, 900,
900 Of dollars the standard must be
as in the better days Of the republic.
1t is a rcbukc to the usurpations
by which a radical and unscrupu-
lous congress were about to place
Ben Wade into the Office honorcd by
the patriot presidents of a better,
day. 1t is the expulsion of that
arrantknave and traitor from the
halls Of Congress by the voice of
an indignant and outraged'people.
It is the dawning of the day Of de-
liverance. 1t ~strangles ~impcach-
mcnt; arrests revolution; and ar
raigns and condemns the fanatics of
the country. 1t inspires the patri-
zptwith new hope; nerves his arm to
new deeds of valor; auimates the
brightness of his eye; brings new
JOY and better hopes to his heart.
1t restores the country to a new "a
reer Of prosperity and insurcs a
democratic triumph in the contest Of
1868. It is the dawn of IA brighter
day.
