EASTERN ELECTIONS.

We said last week that the associated
press bad garbled and drbbled- out the cleo
ton returns from Peuusy lvauia, Ohio and In
diana so as to give the impression that the
mongrels had carried these elections. There
can no longer be doubt, in view of the
dispatches since, but that the Democracy
have achieved substantial success in all
these States. The wires broke with about
half of Pennsylvania to be heard from and
the Democrats claiming that at most they
could not be beaten over 5000, and Indiana
10 doubt, and both parties claimiugit. There
was Supreme Judge to be elected in Ohio,
and an Auditor General in Peunsy lvania, and
not word Of news has ever been sent as to
which party was ahead on these the only
officers that would show the popular vote,
and it is now eleven days since The vote was
bad, and the official returns are 10. They
have now heard from Nebraska and Dacotab,
the only points where it ia difficult TO gel
news from, but not another word from the
States where the news should have been Civ.
en- long ago. Lie after lie is telegraph.
ed to keep up the spirits Of the simple mind
ed mopgrels until after the next election, but
it will be no go, for nothing short of nat
ural fool will be longer deceived by such stuff.
Every man with ordinary sense knows that
the stuff teegraphed about the Democrats
talking about Withdrawing their candidates,
or reconsructing their ticket, is base, dirty,
senseless lies, manufactured out OF whole
cloth, and for the viest of purposes, and the
wicked, british concoctors have now been
caught, and proved to the world as low-hung
liars, by direct and positive Dispatch from
the Chairman Of the National Dem ocratic
CentraI Committee at New York to General
Cazneau, Secretary Of the State Central
Committee at San Francisco. Here is the
official dispatch that brands the Union, Bul
letin and Alta, and their eastern agents as
base concoctors Of wholesale lies:
New YoRK, Oct. 20, 1868.
Tnos. N. CAzNEAU, SECRETARY DEMOCRAT
1o STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE: There is nc
foundation whatever for the report that Sey
mour and Blair have Withdrawn from TIT
contest The Democracy fights under III
chosen leaders. We are coufdent and full
Of hope. Aud bELMoST'
Democrats be on your guard. The truth
will not bs told between now and the cleo
tion by these Infamous, lying mongrel sheets
and the lesser retailers Of their falsehoods
where lie would suit their purposes better
They know they are whipped in the east, an'
seek to cover up their shame, chagrin ant
sinking hopes, by systematic ba.s'faced
wholesale lying. a.
Wheeling, the great commercial emporium
Of Western Virginia, which voted on Thurs
day last has gone Democratic, but says tn
telegraph, "lhe returns from other portion
OF the State come 10 slowly" You bell
They always come slowly when the Demo
Gratis win. Since the returns began to sho'
probable Democratic victory in tho grea
central States of Ohio, Pennsylvania an.
Indiana, instead Of coming slow they don
come at all. All these lies have been tee
arapbed, aud truth suppressed, simply +
affect the vote 10 Nevada, California AM
Oregon, but that object will fail, for all thes
States are Democratic, and will give tbei
votes and voice for SEYMOUR AND BLAIR OF
the third Of November next. We suppos
that the telegraph will tell US that Seymou
and Blair are dead, in some insane asylum
or that The Democratic electors have declared
for Grant. etc., but all such and kindred lie
will avail nothing, but to prove that thes
drowning mongrels are catching at 'traws-
Who would vote for such set OF senseles
vagaboud liars, or those they support
