 There is one matter to be borne 1T
 mind, and which deserves special em phasis. Itis this: Ten thousand Jew
 who cast Republican ballots in Pennsyl vania on Tuesday will, as the Sd O November comes, reverse them or that day 90 as to tell against tbt author of the infamous document known as Order No. II. The Jews ir Ohio and Indiana will follow suit, and bearing this in mind, it is not far fctched calculation to assume that al three States will surely cast their cleo. toral votes for Seymour and Blair. l There arc yet over two weeks to work in the noble cause of National salvation. The surroundings are auspi- cious, the signs joyously hopeful Democratsl Victory is within your grasp; move forward along the whole line; the enemy wavers, up and al | theml
 | From the Union and American.1 The entire Radical majority in a poll of nearly or quite fifteen hundred thousand votes will not exceed fifteen thousand.
 The jubilation of Radicals over this result is feigned. They have no shout of triumph coming from the heart. l The leaders know it amounts to a yir- tual defeat, so far as influence on the November, election extends. 1t has not dispirited the Democracy in the least, nor damped their ardor for a moment. They enter the struggle yet pending, without abatement of jot oi heart and hope.
 From the Columbus Ga Enquirer. | We must confess to much disappoint- ment at the results of the State elec- tions in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi- ana. The Democracy have made an energetic and gallant fight, but have not been successful in either of those 1 important States. But they will not despair-neither should we. They will go into the contest for the Novem- Der election with the same high resolu- tion to do their duty, aLd there are good reasons to hope with better re- suits. It is fact well known that the Democrats throughout the North were rather Respondent three weeks ago, aud that they have quite recently been reinvigorated and aroused. Had these elections come off in September, the majorities againstth Democrats would have been much larger than they now are. The party has evidently been gaining in strength and resolution within tho last few weeks; and it is not unreasonable 10 hope that the peo- pie of the North, contemplating the dangers of continued Radical rule may pause on the very verge of the pre- cipice aud refuse to take the final plunge. Let us, at all events, relying upon the justice of our cause, and trus- ting to the God of the injured and oppressed, do our whole duty and calmly await the result.
 From the Mobile Tribune.l
 . If the Northern people are fools enough to vote for military despotism and increased taxation, so be it. We can stand it quite as well. if not better, than they; for we have become some what accustomed to bayonet rule, ano have no money to pay out in the shape of taxes.
 Sc, then, men of the Great West, if il suits you to vote yourselves willing slaves of Massachusetts, go on. We wish you every success in your under taking. Pound away on your anvils : delve in your mines of lead, coal and gold; build your cities. construct your railroads, dig your canals; turn up your rich furrows and reap your gol- den grain ;.for to perform such tasks well and faithfully is the first duty oi the slave to his master
 At the same time. you have the satis- faction of knowing that you have be- come the laughing stock of the world. You who proudly claimed to be men capable of self-government, have writ ten yourselves down asscs--asses so tame and spiritless that you even bray for the paniers with which your Eas- tern masters have sought successfully to load you.

 Whatever may be the result of the election; whether it is a Radical ma jority of a few thousands, or a Demo cratic majority, our party has made a noble fight. In some of the strong Democratic counties we have increas- ed our majorities in most gratifying manner. We believe we have a ma jority ofthe honest voters of the State and 1t Is tho duty of Democrats to labor more earnestly than ever to make this appear at the election next month. s~There is blithesome maiden that lives next door to me; her eyes are black as midnight, and handsome | as can he. Her cheeks are full of dim ples, and red as any roses and then this l love of mine, too, has got Roman nose! asked her if she would have me-this was the other night--and this was her reply, friends; "Why, you are tight!7 Says I, II know have, love
