The Great RepmbIicau GIorifica-
zion Meeting over the Result Of
the Election i'm Vermont.


the Election i'm Vermont.
The Republicans of Columbus rejoiced
over the Republican victory in Vermont,
last night, at the west front of the Capitol.
Small bills were scattered all over the city
thrown into all the houses-calling upon
the Republicans to turn out sand rejoice.'
They were told that ex-Gov. DENNIsoN and
Senator WILLARD WARNER, of Licking,
who represents the Negroes of Alabama in
the United States Senate, would speak and
make them glad.
The evening came. A band was perched
upon the terrace at the West Front, and
blowed for dear lite. Eight O'Clock came,
but the people were slow in responding, for
up to that hour not exceeding two hundred
persons had assembled. The band blowed
on, gathered probably hundred more,
when Mr.. WARNER was introduced to the
audience.
Mr.. WARNER boasted that he was car
pet-bagger His father before him was
carpet-bagger. having years ago left Ver-
mont and come to Ohio. Mr.. WARMERS
speech was, that the Negroes in Alabama
were s.loyal," the White men disloyal, and
that it was the duty of the North to main
tain the Negro and Carpet-bag Govern
ments in the South. If they did not, of
course he could not represent the Alabama
Negroes in the United States Senate, which
to him would financially be great loss.
He claimed that the ssRebels" in Alabama
had only two rights--a Constitutional right
and Divine right "a Constitutional
right to be hung, and Divine
right to be damned after they were
hung. We think that if he were to con-
tinue this line of talk, it would be a little
uncomfortable for him to remain in Ala
bama. His assertion that he rejoiced to
find MORGAN, the FoLLETTs and VALLAN-
DIGHAM denouncing him did not secure for
him the cheers he expected. That talk was
very coldly received. We don't think the
gentlemen referred to have considered him
of sufficient importance to bestow much
time upon him. They certainly could be
engaged in much better business.
After Mr.. WARNER got through, ex-Gov-
ernor DENNIsoN was introduced. He in
terpreted the result in Vermont to mean
that the faith of the Nation should be
maintained at all hazards (Gold for the
Bondholder), and the loyal Governments
founded in the South under Congressional
auspices, must be upheld. It was his i'm
preston if GRANT were elected there would
be enduring peace; but that if SEYMOUR
should be elected, there would be anarchy
and War. That is to say, the Democrats
will submit to the result of the election, if
it shall result adversely to them; but the
Republican politicians will not sub
init if the result is in favor of the
Democrats. The Democratic party, as
party, he held to be disloyal organiza-
ton, and that it was not proper the Govern
ment should pass into its control. He
thought GRANT would be elected, yet did
not manifest very great confidence that he
would. The prejudice against Negro Suf-
frage and Negro Supremacy he secuted as
most unworthy. 'H
This is what Mr.. DENNIsoN said on this
subject in his annual message as Governor
of Ohio to the Ohio Legislature, in Janu-
ary, 1862: >t~tt-
San act of immediate general emancipa-
tion, throwing four millions of the colored
caste loose on society, North and South,
would leave them more ensldued than they
are now. Without the intelligence. po,oer and
means of a master of the superior race, to
support them in competition OF that race in
the business of life, they aoould perish. The
North rejecting them, as it has done in
many States, and might do in many others,
the four millions let loose in the South,
aoould encounter acGr of cdste-A WAR OF
EXTERMINA
How will Mr.. DENNIsoN reconcile this
with his present position
The meeting was a small and lifeless
