The Late Elections
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES
HEAVY GAIN IN CONGRESSMAN
Large Majorities in Indiana,
Ohio and Arkansas!
IOWA & NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN
BY REDUCED MAJ0RITIES.

TICKET ELECTED.
WEST VIRGINIA ALL RIGHT

From the Nep York World.
The latest news from Ohio and Indiana add
emphasis to the words Of cheer wherewith we
yesterday hailed the dawn Of better day for the
Democracy and for the country. The people
of those great and populous central States
have spoken their disapproval of the princi.
pies and the practices of the Republican party
in tones which il is impossible to misunder-
stand or to misinterpret. 1t is no ordinary
revolution of public opinion which in Ohio
adds nine Congressman to the Democratic
list, giving the Democracy n representation
Of fifseen in delegation whose total is TWEEN
ty, and in Indiana reduces the Republican
Congressman from ten to three, in delegR-
ton whose total is thirteen. But this is the
revolution which was recorded in Ohio and
Indiana on Tuesday. The Democrats Of
Indiana have just three Representatives in
the present Congress. In the Forty-fourth
Congress they will have ten, and possibly
eleven. Each Of these States has chosen
Democratic State officers by popular MAORI.
ties ranging from IL, 900 to 10000, and in spite
of the Republican gerrymander of Indiana
the Democrats have secured a majority in the
Legislature, which elects successor to Sen.
ator Pratt.
These happy results were neither unexpec.
ted nor unprotected. They have been eagerly
expected by the millions who are weary Of
corruption and incompetence in the Govern.
ment Of the nation, weary of taxes which
impoyerish the people and enrich not the
Government, weary Of war and of appeals to
the memories and apprehensions of war.
They have been predicted by the mad and
lawless excuses of the Republican party, and
by the condemnation which, beginning with
New Hampshire and Connecticut, has been
pronounced by one State and another almost
every month of the present year. They in
turn predict the fuller and more sweeping
victories which await the Democracy in No
vember, when the South will join the North
in the call for free government and restored
Union, when California will echo the demand
of New York for currency aud a code of
tariff laws, under which commerce and indus
try may thrive as they have not thriven for
years.
just west OF Indiana lies Illinois, where the
Democracy has planted itself firmly on the
traditional Democratic platform of Free Trade,
Hard Money, and Home Rule. A glorious
Democratic victory there is assured beyond
peradyenture. On the third of Novem Der the
sun will rise full upon the better day which
has dawned for the Republic in the great
central States of the Northwest.
ARKAxsAs.-A Little Rock, Ark. dispatch
says The Democrats estimate that l05, 600
votes were cast in the late election, the larg.
est number ever polled in the State, and the
constitution and Democratic State ticket were
carried by 10000 majority.

The Republican meeting which was held at
the Court House, on Tuesday night last, was
addressed by John I. Ensor, Esq. Republican
candidate for Congress, J. b. Askew, ESQ. of
Baltimore city, and Judge John L. Smith, of
our town. The speech Of the first named
gentleman was weak effort, indeed. From
the platform he laid down for himself he has
inaugurated new party movement. He de-
nonnced monoplies, declared his opposition
to the Civil Rights Bill, and made the start.

not by the Republican party, but by q decree

to sell free negroes into slavery, or give them
forty lashes In the discretion Of the Court,
and charged that It was cruel for your CORES
pendent to make any reference to the past as
we were living in the present. After Mr..
Ensor concluded his remarks, Mr.. Askew
followed, and in sad tone as il impressed by
Mr.. Ensor's doom, devoted his remarks to
the defence Of the Carpet Bagger, a task
he would not have undertaken if he had known
what a carpet.bagger is. Next in turn, in
his usual noisy and boisterous manner, came
Judge Smith, who is ''chock full Of hatred

liberal support accorded to ii, its success
was assured from the start. But it has
gone on prospecting and to prosper, and

another column to the page E. Reynolds,

very spirited and successful manner, and
the 7raHscript maintains its rank among

were unwittingly led into il, as altogether
unsound and untenable, Democracy, in

quarters Of tho Union. But, how is il
with Radicalism9 1t has more shades Of

the color Of the object nearest to ii, or
which gives ii support. In the Middle
States the ebony tint is less popular than
it is in the Northern States. In Mary
land there is disposition to taboo the
ebony altogether. The Radicals here are
evidently ashamed Of their Negro coadju-
tors, and go as far as they dare to go in
esincing it, so as not TO drive their black
cohorts from them altogether, for they
know that without them, in Maryland,

Bill, to mixed schools, theatres, lecture and

II does not refer to amalgamation, for that
abominable doctrine has not been preached
outside Of New England, except possibly
BY the more advanced Republicans Of
New York and Pennsylvania. How would
such an enunciation as that appended to

Let us suppose such a call for public

other neighborhood where the elite, the

most do congregate. What would be the
result, what would be the effect upon Mr..
Ensor's prospects for Congress? His ears
would Jingle with the din occasioned by
his rank apostacy, and he would be fouted

Such is the difference between the Radi-
