TIE IAcls III LCrIONS TIE


It is rot exactly fair ts::ssy that the
Democracy were debated IN the recent
elections in Pennsy lyania. Ohio, and Ind-
ana.
It must be remem 5crel that those three
States have not given Democratic MAORI
ties, upon strictly party issues, during
nor since the war.
Ca the contrary, they have been con-
trolled. at every election, BY the Repub-
liean party.
The fac. that those States have, by large
majorities, voted dowa negro suffrage
within their respective limits. has Doubt
less been regarded by some superficial OBJ
servers as a Democratic triumph.
This is mistake. abundantly shown
by the important fast. that they haze uni
formly elected representatives in Con-
grcss who were III favor Of enforcing ne
gro suffrage upon the South
One other important fact, however, we
must not forget-yiz: that the Repubi-
can majorities in the States named have
been considerably cut down, at each sue
cessiye election, since tie conclusion of
the war.
It's, therefore, an important question
for the Democracy of the country to con-
si4er, whether the Republican maiorilies
in those States may not be entirely OYER

The Prince of Wales is said 10 have made

reports OF preparations for another Fenian in

mer policy In regard to those Fenians who
attempt to invade Canada We know that
