The Political outlook.

NOW tuat the uiu VI tho OStVoet SAo
vass is over, we are permitted to take
calm, clear aud Ineligible survey Of
the political situation.
Our banners have been wreathed
with the laurel Of victory in Connect
cut, Georgia aud Indiana. In Ohio we
have gained upon the opposition, aud
cut down the Grant majority Of 1868,
more than one half. Another united
effort in that State, and the victory will
be ours, as our friends there confident
" believe. In Pennsylvania We have
been beaten only BY the use of money
and By the most shameless aud bare
faced fraud. Ia November we shall
engage the enemy along the whole line
Of battle, and there will be no opportu
nifty left to him to mass his forces at
any single point Of the conflict, and our
chances Of success will be greater, ev.
erywhere. than they were in October,
Not only so, but the tone Of our lead
ing journals is buoyant, hopeful, aud in
no wise respondent. Our National and
State Committees have issued addresses
TO tbs people, in the same cheerful
straiu, urging all to buckle on their ar
NOR fresh for the grand confiat in
November. We publish, 10 another
place, the address of the National Dem.
ocratic Committee, aud close this arti-
Gle with an extract from the address Of
the Ohio Liberal Republican Commit,
tee. It will be seen, by these docu
ments, that hope and confidence still
animate the Democracy, as well as our
allies, the Liberal Republicans. All is
not lost that is in danger. Therefore,
we say-"0uce more unto the breach,
dear friends, once more.
The following is an extract from the
address of the Liberal Republicans Of
Ohio, and breathes the right spirit
Let a similar spirit animate the Democ
eracy Of Carroll county and let them
grid up their loins for the Gaal contest
The smoke Of Tuesdays battle have
cleared away SO we are now able to re-
port full results. We have met an army oil
veterans, flushed with years of victory, and
supplied to repletion with all the weapons
that party in power could furnish, with
all the resources Of great Government OF
command, aud yet in our first onset victory
crowns our banners. 1t has been conceded
upon all hands that the loss To Grant In DC
tober Of either Of The three great Central
States then voting would be victory for
Greeley in November. Indiana is ours,
and Ohio can be made ours, and il only re.
mains now TO gather promptly the fruits Of
victory. Ohio has done nobly. Grants
minority of 10000 in 1868 has been cui
down TO a beggarly 10000 or 10000 upon
the first onset. We have carried eight mem
bers Of Congress out OF twenty one cleal
gain Of three from the stronghold Of the en-
emy, and in spite of the most outrageous
districting bill ever passed by Legislator,

Brown are 20, 600 votes stronger in 0hit
to-day than any man upon our State ticket
and hence, IL we do our duty, the State eat
be carried like a whirlwiud in November
That our success on Tuesday is not della
sion, but real and substantial, is evident b.
comparison with any vote poiled durint
the last ten years, and hence we have ev
cry reason TO move forward with eon6denc
and hope TO the final conflict in November
Even without Ohio in November, the cleo
ton OF Greeley and Brown is substantial
assured, as will appear from a consideration
Of the following tnhle Of electoral votes
The whole number necessary to choice
