dailies give returns of the elections held 10
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, on the 18th
inst, from which it appears that the repub-
licans have carried all three of these States
by greatly reduced majOrities. In PeDnsyl-
vauia the democrats gain four members Of
Congress; they also gain COngressmen in
Ohio and Indiana The result is not what
the democracy expected, but the majorities
are SO small and parties so evenly divided,
that there is no occasion even yet to despair
of the election of Seymour and Blair. Let
the democracy close up their ranks and by
great and united effort redeem the country
from radical misrule. We give the returns
