shameless, atrocious, miserable and

up in type. The very contrary is the
case. The Democrats have carried a

have made gains in all the large cities
and towns except New Haven, where
the Democratic majority is so large
that it was not necessary to poll more
than half the vote, and yet the Demo

Mark you, this was only an election

Spring elections in Pennsylvania, and
yet Connecticut shows a Democratic
majority Of 5000, which is gain OF

and is trying to infuse little spirit in

THE RESULT.

At the present writing we are unable
to say positively how the State has
gone. We believe it to be very close
The Radicals claim it by a small ma
jority. Allegheny county gives about
5000 Radical majority; Lancaster
county about 800; Erie 1900; Law
renee 900. Philadelphia is reported
at 3 900 Democratic. The Democratic
candidate for Mayor has been elected
in Philadelphia. York gives 3lOO
Democratic Berks $500 Wayne 700.
No matter what may be the result, it
is our duty and the duty Of every
Democrat, to renew the effort to re-
deem the country from Radical thral-
dom. Let US prepare for the battle on
the first Tuesday Of November and
vote for the principles we so dearly
prize. Let us do our duty and commit
the rest TO God.
