If this be so, the farmers know how to

A Bad Policy.

According to the New York Herald, ,
gentleman from Alabama, now in Wash
ington city, states that great numbers o
the more respectable people in Alabama
Mississippi and Louisiana, and he doubt.
not in the other Southern States, have
long had under consideration, and have
made preparations for moving, some into
California, some to the Northern States.
and others to the Territories, in the event
of Gen. Grants election He saws thew
are fully convinced that if the republicans
are successful it will be utterly impossible
for them to live in the States where they
now reside.
We have heard intimations before of a
similar purpose entertained in another i'm
portant State of the South but it is not
at all likely that such an idea is generally
entertained. There has been already a
considerable emigration from some South
ern localities, where the white population
is small and defenseless, to the northern
tier of Southern States, and even to the
North and West The selling out of pro-
perty and removal to great distance arc
not often accomplished in the best of times
without sacrifice, but at the present prices
of property i'll the South, to sell out is ve
ry near to giving away When to this is
added the surrender of old associations,
and the passing of the remainder of life in
exile from the scenes and friends of early
years, it must be confessed that IL NAV
well be question with Southern land own
ers whether it is not "better to bear the
ills they have than to hv to others that
they know not Of" by emigration. espec-
ally to distant region like California.
where, as appears from late number of
the leading periodical of that State, the
professions are all over crowded. and there
is no prospect Of any man improving his
condition unless he either has cantal, or
by his labor in mechanical and aSricultur
al employmrnts can add to the productive
wealth of the State
Whilst no one can refuse to svmrathizc
with the apprehensions which are said to
be prompting some persons in the South to
think of emigration, it is probable that
those who will most profit bv such move
ment will be the shrewd and unscrupulous
adventures whose vocation it has become
to speculate upon the misorics and neces
stiles of the Southern people. Too much
caution cannot be exercised in such step
as this, so comnarativelv easy, perhaps to
take, but so difficult, if not impossible, to
retrace.

The Elections,

The great contest in the States of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska.
came off on Tuesday last. and the issue is
adverse to the hopes and desires ofthe De-
mocracy. The Republicans have out
numbered us. but only by meager MAORI
tiles; to do which, they have strained
themselves at all points, and have put forth
their "ho'e strength, leaving nothing in re-
serve for a future struggle. Nor can thew
do any better in November, unless through
the relaxation of their opponents. Will
the great Democratic army faltcr in the
face Of the enemy on the eve of the great
contest? Perish the thought. Let
us. rather, with renewed effort, press our
opponents with more determined courage
and redoubled zeal All is not lost that is
in danger. Our principles are no less
dear to us than they were at the outset !;
nor are they any the less vital to the con-
tinued existence Of the Republic. Close
mp your ranks, then, and push forward the
column.
STAND in YOUR great arrav
Then onward move and smite
Invincibly."
The Nr~ York World. of Wednesday,
thus alludes to the work before us:-
at is certain that the democracy of the North.
II .hey would redeem the republic, must keep
their arinor on. and know no rest or weariness in
their labors till the night of November ard. Vic
tory hoyers still above the contending hosts nm
certain upon which banner to alight. The de-
nocracy have done nohv. Never were their
ranks so full never was their battle fought more
calamity. But the foe is stubborn, determined
desperate. Not an hour is to be lost not man
can be spared

Of four Democratic Congressman in Ohio,
three in Pennsylvania, and two in Indiana.
The result in Indiana is still doubtful. As
to Pennsylvania, we understand that the
Democratic Executive Committee in Phil
adelphia claim the State by small Demo-
cratic majority; but from our own calcu-
lations we are inclined to believe the Re-
publican candidate for Auditor General
has been elected by small majority. 1t
is asserted, however, that some of the yes-
tern counties yet to be heard from will
overcome the Republican majority now ap-
parent.
The returns from Indiana strongly indi-
cate the success of Hendricks, for Cover
nor. The counties yet to be heard from
are chiefly in the southern part of the
State. in which there is reason to believe
the Democratic majorities have been large
ly increased. Our latest despatch asserts
positively the election of Voorhees,, and
leaves only about FIVE hundred of the Re-
publican majority of 1866 to be overcome
by the returns from seventeen counties,
